Instant Text - expand simply by typing in the abbreviation and hitting the space bar?

I'm new to IT and have a question: How do you bold text? I went into "Edit" and see several options but not for bolding. Yes, it's probably in the manual but I'm on the clock right now so hope someone will post it here. Thanks! ...

Hi all. I would like to know what the best way is to not leave a space after a hyphen when typing an expansion, such as 2-centimeter, etc. I know the formula to make it backspace once, such as with my expansion for -year-old, but thought there might be a better way for this one that I'm not thinking of? Like a way that would work with any hyphen-word combo? Thanks! ...

Anyone have any good websites for Instant text tutorial or questions? I did read through productivity talk and did find what I needed. I have not used this software in years. I use autotext, but I would like to use the line counting software that comes wtih IT. I am trying to figure out a short cut to copying text, right clicking on IT , clipboard statistics, and logging each note. Any thoughts on how to do this with keystrokes and NOT the mouse? I am using Scribe Editor ...

Just wondered about what you all think is the best expander to use with VR. I used to use Shorthand up to a couple of years ago and now work with Instant Text. It seems to me that Shorthand is very very popular with the VR crowd. Does anyone use Instant Text successfully with VR? The version of IT I have (V Pro) does not have the recording functions and the ability to use shortcuts (like Alt+ and Control+) like Shorthand does. Nor is there there an ability to record commands or key combina ...

I am trying to use Instant Text with Emdat. I know it is supposed to work, but for some reason it isn't. The shortcuts don't expand, the "period" key doesn't work. The spacebar only makes a space if I hit it twice. Has this happened to anyone else. Any ideas? ...

Just got Instant Text and can't get the darn think to work.

Does anyone know if there's a free upgrade or download or something to get this compatible with Windows 7? I really don't want to have to buy a new word expander. Thanks so much! ...

I am looking for Instant Text users who may be able to get me headed in the right direction in regards to compilations. I have been using Instant Text for quite a while now, only adding things on the fly, or using the enrich feature. I do not understand the compilation feature it seems. Whenever, I try to utilize this feature I come up with phrases that I really will never hear again, odd things within reports. For example, the patient's dog's name - lol!&n ...

Does anyone use Instant Text with Probity's Integra platform? I just downloaded IT and am having a lot of difficulty using it. First, I had to set it to be on the right side of the screen because otherwise the time marker disappeared. Not a big deal though. When I add an entry while in Integra, it moves the screen down each time I make an entry and the only way I can make the typing screen large again is to exit out of the report back to the RIS screen and then go back i ...

I just signed up for the 30-day free trial of Instant Text. This is what I have found: * IT is faster than Shorthand. * IT has some good features that SH lacks. However, IT also has some annoying limiitations -- just like SH does -- as far as what you can name entries. For example, when naming an entry you can only use letters, numbers, _ and - . No special characters allowed! Also one-character titles are NOT allowed. This frustrates the heck out of me. I ...

Does anyone know how to link Instant Text with Bayscribe? I can't get it to work with Bayscribe and I can't find a direct phone number for tech support for Instant Text.... Thanks:) ...

I was charged and used up my 30-day free trial, but I've never recieved an email telling me how to install permanent version or code for it. Emailed their support mail, but apparently they're only in 9-5 Mon-Fri. Just wanted to see if this company legit or if anyone else had a similar exp and how it was resolved. Please and thank you, of course. ...
