How to make a small keystroke macro in MS Word - to start the AutoCorrect function? SM

Hey everyone, I am new to shorthand. I was hoping someone could help me make a macro. I am trying to make a macro for ALT+L, D. I know how to do key control and then pick a key, but staring with ALT has me confused. I would appreciate any help. Thank you. ...

I work on the Beyond Text platform and would like to know if anyone knows the keystroke short cuts for Word 2003 while in a document (such as speeding/slowing dictation). Some of the ones listed under the tabs do not work for 2003. Thank you. ...

It has been so long since I needed to do this - the macro to do this is on a long dead computer. I am creating macros for particular reports. After the heading and the : I would space twice and put a /. I had a macro that was called by the person who created it originally I suppose, pause. I copied that macro (named it pause) as a separate macro and assisgned it a keystroke (let's say F5). Then when I pulled up say the op note macro, to move to the next f ...

Hey everyone. Why is my macro disappearing everytime I close word? I don't normally use macros but for this instance I am. I just created a simple macro by going into Tools, make new macro, etc. I test it out on word and it works. When I close out the word program and bring it back up and run that macro I just created it is not there. I'm not well versed with macros so I wrote down that it was saving it as a normal.dot (global template). Can anyone ...

Which is better? What are the differences? I have been using macros in MS Word. I downloaded a trial version of a shorthand program once, but it was a little confusing and it seemed much more involved than recording a macro. Any advice/opinions appreciated! ...

I've been having problems with my macros "sticking." I'll make one, and the next day it doesn't work. I'll go into the list of macros and it'll still be there, but the command won't work. I just made one that removes the cc line if it isn't used. I'm curious to see if it's still there when I log back in tomorrow. Any idea why this happens? I was a pro at editing my macros in the dinosaur days of DOS but not now, so I don' ...

Hi, I was wonder what program you would suggest for a macro program for Word 2003. If there is a free version, that would be helpful; but any good program would be good. Thank you or your help, Diane :) ...

Every once in a while my shift key doesn't take and I have a sentence started without a capital letter. Is there an way to create a macro that can go back and do that so that I don't have to either backspace out or stop and go back and correct and then carry on? I'm thinking to do a find function to go find the last period and then tell it to skip to the next letter, but I'm not entirely sure how that would go. If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd really app ...

I am editing using a word based program and the text populates with spaces in between the ROS and PE sections every time. I have to manually go to each line and eliminate the space. My hand is taking a beating. I would like to know if I could find a function that when I highlight that section would make that particular space one between each line instead of two. I hope I am explaining this right. The spaces right now are 2 spaces in between each section. ...

I just switched to Word 2010 and now I need to create Macros. I'm lost. Is there anyone who can help? So far all the instructions people have given are for Word 2007 and it's just gotten me more confused. ...

I've been using Instant Text for years but realized that there are probably quite a few macros I could create in Word 2010 to make certain repetitive commands a lot easier for me. I know the basics of creating a macro in Word but cannot for the life of me figure out how to create a macro to do this: I want to copy text,(i.e. from a Preoperative Diagnosis) and have it pasted into the next line after the heading Postoperative Diagnosis when the dictator says "same." I tried recording ...

MRI scan results show findings consistent with an anterior dislocation with a probable small *S/L heal saxilation* in the posterior humeral head. There is a small anterior-inferior glenoid labrum tear as well. There also is the elongated piece of the posterior-superior labrum 5mm to 4 mm in diameter, which probably is an old detatched posterior labrum. TIA ...

I am having a brain malfunction. I cannot remember how to make the expansions type. For example, tp for the patient, it will not type out the patient. What is the control for this? Thanks. ...

And is it hyphenated, or not? I find it both ways for both questions. Looking for input from the pros here, thank you. ...

Looking for a program that will only count keystrokes done within a document. I have a bunch of templates but cannot count that part just the stuff we are typing. Any suggestions. ...

Has anyone heard of charging for using the shift key as a keystroke, meaning if you capitalize something, you basically get 2 characters instead of 1? ...

VR drafts have BECOME so far off what was clearly dictated that it is taking LONGER to edit than it would to just transcribe it. Not only do I have to re-transcribe it, but delete full sentences and phrase that sound nothing like what was clearly dictated! As MTs we used to be paid for our keystrokes which was fair. Today we probably put in twice the keystrokes we are paid for. Anyone know of a cheap keystroke counter as I think this would be very useful in a suit again ...

Every company is bashed here. Is no one happy anywhere or is it mostly unhappy people who post here. When someone says they like a company, they are beat down. When they defend a company, they are management. When they are happy, they must be lying. Geesh, it's like taking a downer coming here. I used to get good information, now I don't know what to believe. ...

I'm trying to help someone with her Word problems. How do you get it to where it doesn't automatically make the numbers indent when you're numbering something? I've tried the Bullets and Numbering and the Styles and Formatting, and she says neither changes it. TIA ...

They pay for EVERY keystroke which is simply not true!! THEY DON'T PAY FOR SPACES, isn't that correct? ...

Does anybody have any idea what I accidentally hit to get the calendar dropdown for the current month *without* using the mouse after hitting Alt-D to get to the date field? It was totally keystrokes only, I was nowhere near the mouse, but it was just a fat-fingered mistake and I can't replicate it again, after trying multiple combos. (It was a report where the date was originally grayed out, by the way, because I needed to do a patient search.) It took me years to f ...

Hi: I am hoping someone can help me with the above. I don't have much experience in the macro tools (although I have one to jump from field to field). This doctor is a psychiatrist who examines a client and then reports his findings sometimes to attorneys. He constantly in his report will want to quote and bold a statement or set of statements even within the same sentence. So he will say, Mr. ?? said quote bold blah, blah blah quote unbold, and then stated again quo ...

So I have all these templates to pull into a single document all the time depending on what the patient is being seen for. I also have to put the name, dob, etc, in a particular place in all of these templates. Is there anyway to make a macro that will ask me the pertinent info up front and then when done it all just populates ready for me to just type? This is in Word by the way. ...

I am new to Shorthand. Is there a macro for putting an automatic space after a comma, semicolon, etc.? I have ones someone else wrote for two spaces after periods. So far I am not that great at making my own macros. I have registered at Productivity Talk and follow the SH forum, but am not allowed to look at the posts I really need. I get an error message that I don't have permission and the admin hasn't responded back yet. ...

I am trying to make a macro/expander for "-year-old" and in order for the expander to work right it needs a backspace but I don't know how to put a backspace in. Can anyone please tell me how. ...

Just wondering if it's okay/possible to put my "Call" macros back towards the end of General_Macro? And if so, where? I tried moving them to just before End Sub and also before Page 1:Selection..., but those locations didn't work. I'm getting an occasional errant "g" or "L" (apparently related to the GramLiter macro) at the very beginning of my VR text when I run it now, which I didn't have at all before when the "called' macros were at the end. Was part of the fix ...

Would enjoy talking with Macro Diva about all things macro! I've written one big macro with which I preprocess virtually all of my transcribed documents. First, it identifies the document template type, e.g., office note, letter, hospital discharge, echocardiogram, PV study, etc. It then displays a dialog box with drop-down lists from which I select the ordering physician, dictating physician, date of study, date dictated. etc. (The date of transcription is, of ...

I don't know where to begin with trying to record a macro for this need myself. On my main account, we're required to list meds without any following punctuation, but due to other MTSOs also subbing on it (who apparently don't have any specs or just don't have to follow the same specs we do), the lists invariably come through on VR with totally inconsistent punctuation. Such as this: MEDICATIONS:Ativan,ZofranDexamethasone.DiltiazemLanoxin. But should be this: M ...

I use Radnet...Can anyone tell me how to create and use a jump macro for this program? I have asked at my company but no one knew what a 'jump macro' was. Perhaps called something else? I know how to do it in Word but havent figured it out yet for Radnet. Thanks. ...
