No but there is a site that tells you how to create a customized shortcut.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking, but-- - CM

In Word (at least in Word 2003 up, to the best of my knowledge), if you want to begin a numbered list you only have to type, say:
1. Text
and then hit enter and Word will automatically start the next line with
2.

Similarly, if you want to start a bulleted list, type, for instance:
* First line
and then hit enter and Word will change the asterisk to a bullet and put one at the beginning of the next line, as well.

No need for a shortcut ... you just type. Or am I misunderstanding what you're asking for?

There's an easy way to set one up - Word 2003 user

I'm assuming you want to know if there's an easy way after you already have your list typed.

In Word, go to Tools, then Customize. Down on the bottom of that screen that pops up, near the mid/right, you'll see a button that says "keyboard." Those are all of your keyboard shotcuts, both assigned and unassigned. Click on that button. You'll see another screen come up that has two lists. On the left hand side list, find the category that says "format" and click on that to highlight that. On the right hand list that says commands, scroll down until you find the one that says "FormatNumberDefault."

This command is not currently assigned to a keyboard short cut and you can tell that by the box that says "currently assigned" is blank. Pick any combination of keys that you want to use for this. If that combination is already assigned to another command, it will come up and show you what it is currently assigned to. You can assign over a command and re-write it, basically, or you can find a key combination that doesn't have something assigned.

Then just close out of those screens. All you have to do then is highlight the text you want to be numbered, use your command keys and you're good to go.

Hope that helps.

Ctrl+Shift +L starts a bulleted list. Numbers are automatic if you - SM

have that setting checked in your AutoCorrect options on the AutoFormat as You Type tab. Type #1 and tab, then type your text. #2 appears when you press enter.

Thank you all! I should have mentioned that I am using Emdat Inscribe..sm - OP

and the Word that is used with that program. I have to use my mouse to create a numbered list as there is no assigned hotkey and while that seems like a small thing it is time-consuming and cumbersome, not to mention frustrating! I will try all your kind suggestions. Thank you all so much for your help!

I've used Shortcut for Windows for years always on a Word-based platform. Now I am using it in SpeechMotion which is not Word based. I need to know if there is anyway in Shortcut to set up a code to jump where I need to enter text. I have normal templates in Shortcut and have used an * to indicate a jump-to field. I had a macro in Word that let me jump to the *, but there is no way to set up a macro in SpeechMotion. Any help would be appreciated. ...

Has anyone had any problems using the Shortcut for Windows word expander with the Editscript platform? It's always worked fine in the past when I used to use Voicescribe. It also works fine in everything else currently that I use. When I expand a word it in Editscript, the expanded word moves back a couple spaces and cuts off the previous word I had typed. It works fine in Word by itself. I just don't get it. If anybody can help, I'd greatly ap ...

Is there is quick way to add commas between items in a list? Of course, using Ctl K in front a word will change the punctuation, but it will also change a capitalized drug to lower case, and you will still have to get to the beginning of the next drug which will require 2 Ctl arrows and backspace. Ctl arrow takes you to the beginning of the next word, but you will have to backspace to put in the comma. Adding punctuation to lists is so time consuming! ...

Hi all, Any MTs who work on Editscript. Do you use the shortcuts recommeded by the program or do you do your own workaround and remap keys or use Shorthand to map a different key to do the same or a combination of key commands. I tried using shorthand to overide the other key commands in Editscript and it will not let me. I like to use my ALT K and ALT J keys to move forward and back in the report rather than CTL right arrow or left arrow, but it will not let me create that in ...
