Autocorrect--How do I disable expander for

Hi, I have recently updated my Office Word from 2003 to 2007. I knew where my autocorrect/word expander was in the old one, but the new version llooks a bit different. I am trying to locate where this is in my menu bar, does anyone know where I would find it? Thanks! ...

think it would be worth it to purchase something like Instant Text. But I'm worried that if Word crashes, my computer crashes, I change jobs, etc that I will lose my entire expander file. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to back up these files to move to a new computer when necessary or do you have to redo the entire thing (ugh). I have one of those little flash drives -- but not sure how to get the files onto the thing. Thanks so much! ...

I only want to use the glossary of terms that I've established on IT (and works really well for me), but I'm unable to disable the Medstart glossary that came with IT. Even though they're separate glossaries and my glossary is the highlighted one for use, Medstart is over-riding mine. Example: For capital B, it types out "blood." Please, please, MAKE IT STOP! Can anyone save my sanity? ...

How do you get the autocorrect screen to come up - what are the short cut controls to add new autocorrects in MS Word 2003. Thanks. ...

I was watching someone use an expander and when she misspelled her short form (she hit space and nothing happened), she backed up to the word and backed over the last misspelled 4 or so letters of a long string, and typed in some new ones, and the whole short form expanded the way she wanted. Like txsdoisd was supposed to be txsdoerf, so the erf was backspaced over and replaced and the whole thing rolled out to, "Will AutoCorrect do this too?" :) Not really, but now I'm wondering if ...

I'm starting with Transcend soon and will be having their program downloaded. I bought a new Windows 7 computer and can't find the autocorrect. My older computer is a Windows XP and autocorrect has always worked great for me. I'll need to supply my own word expander program. Should I use the old computer or is there an expander program that works great with Windows 7? Money is tight for me right now so I was hoping to stay with autocorrect. ...

I've had a dreadful time with IT Pro (it keeps crashing Word, sends an error message, sometimes recovers my document or I simply end up losing documents). I've both called and written to the company but they refuse to help me because I bought it used from someone and say they don't support the older versions anymore. Well....I'm through with them, their horrible product, and their nonexistent help. Thankfully I didn't purchase the newer version if this is how they treat ...

I have been blessed with being able to work for smaller companies for the last 9 years.I just started with a new company and the platform doesn't support Word so I can't use my autocorrect, which I have been building shortcuts in all this time. We have tried pcshorthand/speedtype and are having issues with the expansion. I so miss typing in Word. Is not supporting Word the trend of the future? Should I just accept it, or look for something that I can still use Word in? ...

give me any advice on this program? I've never used Instant Text before...or Autocorrect (used to work for MM - they had their own expander)....but now I have a job where I use MS Word. It's taking forever to make my expanders....and now I am hearing that if you put too many in there it can slow things down? And that it's easy to lose all of your expanders! Does anyone love/hate Instant text as compared to AutoCorrect? Do you think it's worth the mone ...

Hi, can anyone tell me if Autocorrect has a suggestion box that stays open while you type? I had been using Shorthand for 8 years and then just got a new job where they won't allow us to use anything but Autocorrect. It is their computer, a Thin Client, which does not allow you to upload anything. With Shorthand and Instant Text a suggestion box pops up showing you all the possible shortcuts and I can see in Autocorrect where you can type in your shortcut and the expansion that it repres ...

AutoCorrect seems much easier to deal with, but won't handle long canned text, and there is no "normals" program in eScription I can add long reports to. I cannot tweak Shorthand to my liking; no matter how much I try, I still have to fight to get a lot of terms to expand. It's really annoying. But it can handle unlimited entries and long blocks of Text that AutoCorrect can't. ...
