Shorthand - subscript/superscript - Eva


Posted: Oct 21, 2009

Trying to find out for a friend of mine -- she has Shorthand and I'm trying to help her figure out how to do subscript and superscript. Can anyone help with this?  Thanks!

You can record keystrokes in SH. - CrankyBeach

[ In Reply To ..]
I've never actually tried that one... but you can record keystrokes in Shorthand just like you can record a macro in Word. So, presumably, she could put the cursor in the proper spot in the document, probably after the character(s) that she wants super- or subscripted, start the recorder, then use keystrokes to highlight the text to be altered (shift-ctrl-left arrow key will highlight the word immediately to the left of the cursor), then use whatever commands one would normally use to super-or subscript. Then perhaps use the 'end' key to put the cursor back at the right end of the text, then stop the recorder.

And if you mess up, you can always start over again. :)

Here's Another Shorthand Tip...
Oct 17, 2009

Someone recently had an issue with Shorthand and Autocorrect both operating at the same time, and they were apparently fighting with each other, because both of them had some of the same expansions/corrections, so the user was getting duplicate text. I finally worked out a system for myself where Shorthand is used for actual expansions, shortcuts, etc. Autocorrect is restricted to correcting misspelled and mis-capitalized words.If I have done it correctly, never the twain should meet, and I can ...


Shorthand V10 Help
Jun 16, 2011

I've been using Shorthand all along on my work computer and love it, particularly the fact that it works anywhere - email, Word, platforms, etc.    I recently downloaded the trial version for my home computer, but, while it works fine in Word documents, it won't work at all anywhere else.  Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? ...


ShortHand - What's So Different About It?
Feb 11, 2012

Ok, I downloaded Short Hand expander program but, for the life of me, it looks just like the standard auto expander/auto correct that comes with word. I've looked over the very brief tutorial that came with it and I don't see where this will increase my productivity anymore than my current Word-based AC/AE work for me. All those Short Hand experts out there (and I believe there are at least a few of you), can someone tell me how this works differently than what I'm already usin ...

Shorthand 10 Help
Nov 17, 2014

Since I'm unable to use MS auto correct with my current platform I explored Shorthand, a program I used years ago.  They've gotten too smart for me.  All I want to do is add words on the fly.  The screen I get when invoking SH10 shows no way to save any entry I might make.  Surely I'm missing something here.  If anyone can point the way I'd appreciate it--enter text, save and move on.  Thanks.   ...


Anyone Use And Like Shorthand?
Dec 03, 2014

Does it work interactively in MS Word?  Can you easily transfer your entries from Autocorrect to Shorthand?  I was checking out Instant Text but apparently now you have to download it, not avail on disk.  I think this means if your computer crashes and/or you want it on a new computer you have to RE-BUY it (at almost $200)...yeah I don't think so!   ...

Need Shorthand 10 Help With Font . . . .

Don't know why this is not working . . .  I need to get the "Suggestion Window Font" to a bigger size.  I have changed the font to say Times New Roman 14 and it shows that it changed it in the "Suggestion Window Font" but when I go into my report and run a shorthand word it stays small, never changed.  I got everything else to a bigger font except for this.  I hit "okay" after I changed it. Any suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks!     ...

Shorthand Problem

I am utilizing shorthand as an expander.  During entering shortcuts, I seem to be inadvertantly pressing more than one key (my flying fingers) that is shutting shorthand down in the middle of a report.  It is a bear to try to finish a report without the use of shorthand (we do get so used to it).  It there a way to turn shorthand back on while you are in a report, instead of finshing the report long hand and then closing down the transcription application and reloading it to bring ...
