Word Expansion Question

Can anyone point me to a list for good word expansion ideas? I would like to get my line count up as high as possible and I know the more I expand, less i type, more money I make. Is there a list out there that can help me with the basic stuff I should start with besides the obvious hpi, pe, report headings, etc... Thank you so much. ...

does anyone else have favorite abbreviations they just love using? I noticed yesterday when I typed my expansion for 4th-5th webspace (45ws), I actually got a rush- my heart sped up and I felt like "gee that was fun!" I have a few more that just make my fingers feel good and get a kick out of using. I'm not a newbie - I've been doing this for twenty years. Do I just lilke my work too much? It's these little things that make whole days of typing stuff ...

Hello, I am going to be using DocQscribe (sp?) soon and I want to know if I will be able to use my Shorthand 10 word expansion software with it. I have been using Shorthand 10 for years and it is second nature now. I can't imagine working without it. Thanks! ...

Hi all, I have gotten a different computer and now have Word 7 on here as opposed to 2000. What would be a good expansion program to cut back on keystrokes? The techs where I work can only my dictionary compatible if I use the F3 key which is really inconvenient. Is there another program that might be compatible with using either the space bar or enter key? ...

I have been using this possibly little-known word expansion program (Shortcut for Windows) for years now and have umpteen thousand macros in it. I just bought a new computer and used the disc to install the program on it, but I can't get it work in Word like it did on my old computer. I tried googling "Shortcut for Windows" to try to get in touch with the company that made the program but no luck. Probably went out of business. Has anyone else heard of this company o ...

Is there a preferred expansion for BPH? ...

I almost got caught just now, dictated as BPH, expanded BY THE SPEECH ENGINE to benign prostatic hypertrophy. Guess what happens when they catch that? I would get marked off because BPH can be either benign prostatic hypertrophy or benign prostatic hyperplasia, right? Ridiculous. Can't they teach the speech engine not to expand things when they have set the rule not to? Sometimes I have to wonder if they sit around trying to figure out ways to get us, really. ...

Does anyone here that uses IT have problems with capitalizations after periods in ASR? I know it was always an issue with ASR and even with docqscribe expander, but not sure if using IT would capitaliize the first letter after the period. TIA ...

I've been out of transcription for a couple of years and wonder what the most popular expansion program is now. I loved PRD before it expired years ago. More recently used Abbreviate for it's ability to provide formatted text (bold print, etc) in the short forms so an entire H&P format could be saved. Is that still on the market? I'm not sure if Abbreviate is still on the market. Any suggestions for current programs. Thanks m ...

Dictator says, "brought in by SARS" and I don't know what the expansion should be, but it's obviously not the respiratory condition, more like an emergency response team of some kind? Please give input. Thanks. ...

Anyone else missing ALL their expansions other than headings???? I expected nothing less than what's happening today with this transition. So frickin' typical. ...

I have the Shorthand expansion program. Sometimes it will put a space between the first and second letters of the expansion. Not all the time, but often. Is there any way to correct this? Thank you ...

I've used the ShortCut expansion program for 13 years so I'd hate to have to change now, but I'm having a problem with my expansions popping out ever since I installed Word 2010. They actually come out in slow motion, so slowly that I have a paragraph typed and only two or so words will be expanded. Is anyone aware of a problem with Word 2010, or if you use the ShortCut program, are you aware if an update is needed? I do recall needing an update of some sort whe ...

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. I got 0.25 taken off for the dictator having dictated "temp" and the report having "temperature." Had I typed it from scratch I would have typed temp, but the ISR did it and it said "temperature," so I did not change it. Are we actually supposed to shorten the expansions perpetrated by the ISR? Now if the ISR expands BPH to benign prostatic hypertrophy I know to change it back to BPH (I have actually come across this - you think they would mak ...

I thought my expansion file was unique to me. For some time, I have questioned about expansions being in there that I know I did NOT put in there. I did not think we shared our expansion file. HMMM. ...

I used to use AutoCorrect in DQS, and when I put in 72yo, it came out 72-year-old. With ShortHand, it does not expand, I assume because the 72 is attached to the yo and the computer therefore doesn't read yo by itself and therefore does not expand. Can someone tell me how to enter this into my ShortHand dictionary so that whenever I enter a number plus yo, it expands to XX-year-old? Sorry for my ShortHand newbieness, and thanks in advance. ...

I am trying a 30 day free version of Smartype. I used Stedman's in the past and loved it and now they have a new version of it. Does anyone use this? I am trying to get it to work but every time I enter a space to autocomplete a word, it enters a space wherever I press the space bar, even mid-word. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...

I work full time for a company where I am on a platform with a built in expander program, but I recently started picking up jobs for a friend's company when she gets too busy and her staff can't keep up with it. All of the work there is done on Word and would be so much easier if I had an expansion program. The problem is, I don't want to pay $150 for a program that I only will use once or twice a month at most. Does anyone know of a program that is really cheap or free? ...

Hopefully somebody knows the answer to this question. When I did the 6.1 upgrade, none of my personal expansions were transferred. Is there a way to find that old file and copy it to the new upgrade? ...

Just started 7.1 today. I believe this has already been addressed, but I cannot find it on here. With autocap enabled, my expansions with a single letter, such as "t" for "the" and "r" for "right" capitalized the whole word. Any fixes for that??? ...

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! ...

I was looking for confirmation on "sed rate" - the doc dictates it just like that. Wanted to make sure that was okay to leave it as such OR if the new BOS (i have yet to upgrade) recommends it should be expanded to "sedimentation rate." ...

Is there a way to import or convert my Bayscribe word expander file (thousands of entries) into 2010 MS Word's autocorrect and/or dictionary? Thank you. ...

I have Microsoft Word 2003. Is it possible to upgrade it online to Word 2003? A company I worked for for a short time did it. If it's possible, can someone give me the link? I looked on Microsoft.com but don't see it. ...

Is there a way in AutoCorrect (Word 2010) to change a comma to a period and then cap the next word to make VR go a little faster? The platform at my old company did this automatically, but MS Word does not : ( This is so frustrating having to change from a comma to a period (or vice versa)--which as you all know happens constantly...and then change the next word to be capitalized (or uncapped)....my wrists are killing me, not to mention it takes so much TIME..... There HAS to be a better ...

Is it possible to do this in MS Word 2010? I'm using AutoCorrect and there isn't a way to do it that I know of. What do all of you doing VR do for the CONSTANT having to change a comma to a period and cap the next word easily? Any suggestions would be SOOOOO very appreciated. ...

I will be changing from Word 2000 to Word 2003 and have a few questions. I am not that great at figuring tech stuff out so hopefully someone will be able to help me. Will changing from 2000 to 2003 affect anything on my computer at all, i.e., will all my other software work okay. I rely on my PC Shorthand expander and my electronic Stedman's books, plus how about my Stedman's medical spellchecker, will they all work the same or do I need to do anything to make sure th ...
