Disappearing text - luv2quilt


Posted: Jun 03, 2010

I don't know what combination of keys I hit but all of a sudden the text in front of where I am editing disappears.  What combination of keys will stop this.  I thought it was control + insert but that did not help. Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Ins and delete keys together nm - do this all the time

Your insert key is programmed for 'typeover' text. - SM

You can uncheck that option in tools.

Oops! That should read overtype. :) - NM

If I'm reading this correctly, Control+Z works for me using Word - Backwards Typist

It is to undo the last change. I'm always using it. LOL

No, once you turn overtype mode on, your typing replaces previous text depending - SM

on where you are. You can see the OVR icon on the status bar turn dark. You can turn that option off or double-click the icon to turn it off.

Ctrl + Z will get your text back, but it will happen again as soon as you start typing if you don't turn off overtype.

Webmedx Work Disappearing

Ok, so maybe we should have a separate board to discuss what in the world is going on at Webmedx lately! I have noticed some strange things this morning.  There was a bunch of work on one of my accounts (300 minutes or so) very early this morning.  When I started doing the work, I noticed that it was from 3 days ago.  I am wondering why we are sitting for days on end with no work and then getting work that is 3 days old?

Seeing A Trend? Work Disappearing?
Aug 29, 2013

Anyone else notice a trend that you get assigned to a "new" account (new to you and to Nuance) and work slowly builds up to a good amount, then starts to get out of control and behind, then starts to dwindle, then eventually it's such a trickle that you're constantly out of work?  This has now happened to me 3 times, and I'm beginning to wonder what's going on.  I know that staffing increases, when things get behind secondaries get pulled onto an account, and that a ...

Been an MT for almost 15 years now, mostly from home. Am starting to see that I can't get the same line counts and am wondering if anyone else sees it.

Used to do 2000+ for a good 8 hours and now still typing as fast as before but struggle to get 1500. Is it the software? Am having no problems understanding dicta ...

Instant Text And VR
Sep 18, 2010

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 ...

Text Expander And SR
Aug 03, 2011

In school, we were given the opportunity to have a 4-month trial of Shorthand for Windows. I really enjoyed using this program and had considered purchasing an extended license for it when I become employed; however, I thought of the MT industry heading more towards SR/VR editing and wondered if having a text expander would be useful at all. Any inputs? I'm currently using Word's AutoCorrect as a substitute. ...
