Creating Macros and Autotext in MS Word 2003

The screentip that comes up when typing the first letters of an AutoText entry has stopped working - and since there is no screentip, the option to insert an AutoText entry into the document by hitting "Enter" is not available either. I can go into AutoText and "Insert" it that way, and hitting F3 inserts the entry into the document from the screen, and all my entries are in there - it is just screentip and Enter that "broke." This happened from one document to the next. I ...

I hope someone can help me. I use Word 2003 and have most of my shortcuts in Autotext. All of a sudden, my autotext stopped working. I can't seem to access any of my shortcuts. Any input would really be appreciated. Thanks !! ...

I watched a video of how to make short-cuts, like opening up certain things by just a few keystrokes, but I want to expand words, like tp for the patient. How do I enter these into Word 2003? Links? help please! I can't afford other productivity software right now. thanks!!!!!!! ...

Can anyone tell me how to create a jump code in Word 2010? I downloaded the instructions for Word 2008 from this site and I can't get it to work. I normally have my jump macro as ALT-J which is supposed to jump to * and then delete it. Would be eternally grateful if you can help me with this. Hittin 30+ years in transcription . . . wish I could afford to retire!! :( Thanks again!!! ...

I've always worked from home and used Word Perfect. Now I'm back in the office - one of offices I've contracted with for years, but they have Word. It's taking me forever, and I can't figure out how to build macros in Word like I had in Word Perfect. Help??? ...

Hey there fellow transcriptionists. Do any of you know how I can copy my MModal autotext entries to my Microsoft Word 2003? Thanks so much! ...

I type for 2 different companies using Inscribe. I'm having a problem because the fonts in the autotexts I put in never match the new company's font and I can't find any way to edit that. There is a command for "edit with Microsoft Word" but I am afraid to try it in case it messes something up. Is this how I would edit the font? Would appreciate any advice :) ...

My account has capped and bolded headings. For some reason, VR NEVER bolds. I guess it isn't capable of doing so! Is there any way to set up a macro to bold like maybe all headings or bold words in caps or anything like that? Even bold from the : to the beginning of the line maybe? I can't seem to figure out how to set this up. There used to be a webpage for help with macros and shortcuts but I don't recall what it was. Does anyone know what I am tal ...

Working in an office on Microsoft Word 2007. Is the AutoCorrect/AutoText feature really gone? I saw the Quick Parts thing, but that is very slow in our business. Also is there any way to put in jump markers to get around in the report quicker? I see why no transcription service uses Microsoft. Sure isn't good for what we do. Thanks. ...

I have Microsoft Word 2003. Is it possible to upgrade it online to Word 2003? A company I worked for for a short time did it. If it's possible, can someone give me the link? I looked on Microsoft.com but don't see it. ...

I will be changing from Word 2000 to Word 2003 and have a few questions. I am not that great at figuring tech stuff out so hopefully someone will be able to help me. Will changing from 2000 to 2003 affect anything on my computer at all, i.e., will all my other software work okay. I rely on my PC Shorthand expander and my electronic Stedman's books, plus how about my Stedman's medical spellchecker, will they all work the same or do I need to do anything to make sure th ...

I'm using both Word 2003 and WP12 and am looking to transfer/copy my auto correct/quick words from Word into WP - any suggestions? ...

Have a new computer with windows 7. Haven't set it up yet. Can I install word 2003 and also whatever the latest word is (2007?). Should one be installed before the other? My computer tech retired and haven't found a new one yet. Thanks for any info. ...

My Word has begun to take forever to open and also to save reports. I am thinking perhaps the program has been corrputed and think perhaps I need to over-load the program again. Will this delete my spell-check dictionary and autocorrect entries? I have been trying to figure out how to back them up just in case, but have been unlucky in this regard. The Microsoft site gives instructions to back up autocorrect, but the files in program files are not there as they state th ...

Hello, I have been fortunate enough to be offered a new MT position with an MTSO that needs me to have MS Word 2003 available. I have the trials of Word 07 and Word 10 right now, but neither of these are compatible with this new MTSO's software. It needs to be Word 2003. I'm having a hard time finding Word 03 anywhere on the web. But I am sure it is legitimately accessible somewhere, at least for a 30- or 60-day trial. Could anyone recommend a way I could acqu ...

Does anyone know if there is a fix for Word 2003 to correct the compatibility issue with Smartype? If I highlight a word and then type without deleting the text, Word will lock up. Sometimes if I type over highlighted text without pressing delete, I get three duplicate letters in a row, and then the cursor scrolls to the bottom of the screen and Word crashes. It is a real pain to have to hit delete all the time, and if anyone knows of a way to fix this, I'd appr ...

(I'm ready to throw both computers out the door.) Anyone ever have any trouble with Word not responding? I tried to caplitalize the word INC. and when I put the period at the end of Inc., it stops responding, I have to end the program and get back in. Sometimes it saves the document, sometimes it doesn't. I also wanted to make a change in a short in AutoCorrect and noted that some of the replacement words have an '*' after them. If I click on any of those words, Word will n ...

Are most MT employers using Using Word 2007 or Word 2003? Word 2010 is out in June. Would the MT industry upgrade quickly to Word 2010 or does it usually take a few years? ...

I am breaking in a new keyboard and evidently hit a key or combination of keys, and now whatever I type is in red and underlined. Can't change it by clicking on Undo in the Edit screen. When I hit backspace, it put in a red line clear across the screen to the right margin with a circle that said Deleted and a paragraph sign. I've seen it before on something I got back from QA once, but I've never used it nor do I know how to activate it. How do I get back to just ...

Help me if you can! Thanks in advance. ...

I've been away from MT a couple of years. I think I had created a quick keystroke to delete the last word, but this may have been in a more current version of Word. Does anyone know how to do this in Word 2003? Thanks for any tips! ...

I just got a new computer and am trying to find a downloadable version of Microsoft Word (ideally 2003, which is what is on my old computer) or even 2008 or 2010. I had found a downloadable version of this for $39.99 a couple of months ago, but I didn't bookmark it and now can't find it. When I go to the Microsoft website, the only downloadable version I can find is apparently their new Office 365. TIA to anyone who can help :-) ...

Does anyone know where I can buy my own copy of Word 2003 to 2007 for a reasonable price?? ...

I'm attempting to create a generic overall macro for my VR editing that includes multiple corrections, two of which are g and L to grams and liters (account preference for single-letter measurement designations, and hey, more characters for me). However, when I try to do this via Find and Replace function in Word, even when supposedly adding a space before and after the g and L, I end up with those characters being replaced in any word that begins with either of them (i.e., 1 g gentam ...

Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? I work in Meditech with Word 2003. Whenever I create autocorrect entries, they will work for that session, but the next time I log on, they've all disappeared. This is very frustrating. Really hoping to find a solution! Thanks. ...

Every so often when I press the delete key, it zooms through the report and deletes every character past where the cursor was located. Once everything is gone, the hour glass keeps flashing, the cursor no longer works, and I have to shut down the program and lose all of the material deleted. I have lost entire reports when going back to the beginning and trying to edit something. Any ideas on how I can stop this from happening? ...
