I'm starting with Transcend soon and will be having their program downloaded. I bought a new Windows 7 computer and can't find the autocorrect. My older computer is a Windows XP and autocorrect has always worked great for me. I'll need to supply my own word expander program. Should I use the old computer or is there an expander program that works great with Windows 7? Money is tight for me right now so I was hoping to stay with autocorrect. ...

I've had a dreadful time with IT Pro (it keeps crashing Word, sends an error message, sometimes recovers my document or I simply end up losing documents). I've both called and written to the company but they refuse to help me because I bought it used from someone and say they don't support the older versions anymore. Well....I'm through with them, their horrible product, and their nonexistent help. Thankfully I didn't purchase the newer version if this is how they treat ...

I have been blessed with being able to work for smaller companies for the last 9 years.I just started with a new company and the platform doesn't support Word so I can't use my autocorrect, which I have been building shortcuts in all this time. We have tried pcshorthand/speedtype and are having issues with the expansion. I so miss typing in Word. Is not supporting Word the trend of the future? Should I just accept it, or look for something that I can still use Word in? ...

give me any advice on this program? I've never used Instant Text before...or Autocorrect (used to work for MM - they had their own expander)....but now I have a job where I use MS Word. It's taking forever to make my expanders....and now I am hearing that if you put too many in there it can slow things down? And that it's easy to lose all of your expanders! Does anyone love/hate Instant text as compared to AutoCorrect? Do you think it's worth the mone ...

Hi, can anyone tell me if Autocorrect has a suggestion box that stays open while you type? I had been using Shorthand for 8 years and then just got a new job where they won't allow us to use anything but Autocorrect. It is their computer, a Thin Client, which does not allow you to upload anything. With Shorthand and Instant Text a suggestion box pops up showing you all the possible shortcuts and I can see in Autocorrect where you can type in your shortcut and the expansion that it repres ...

AutoCorrect seems much easier to deal with, but won't handle long canned text, and there is no "normals" program in eScription I can add long reports to. I cannot tweak Shorthand to my liking; no matter how much I try, I still have to fight to get a lot of terms to expand. It's really annoying. But it can handle unlimited entries and long blocks of Text that AutoCorrect can't. ...

I have thought of trying Carbonite Backup, but I'm sure there is a cheaper way! TX ALL! ...

This happened to me a while back with another job, and someone here gave instructions how to delete all the words that I inadvertantly somehow coded that made it so these words when accompanied by a period, did not auto-cap the next word (beginning of next sentence). I can't remember the process now. Thanks for any help! ...

The only time I really need to do this is when I'm typing allergies. Account specs are to cap whole drug word, but when the shortcut for the drug expands, it expands to lowercase. Is there a key to hit to disable for just one word? Esc worked in IT, but not for Autocorrect. thanks :-) ...

I started using AutoCorrect for my expanders. The problem is when I use them followed by a period they won't work. So "t" doesn't turn into "the" just "t."

Do I lose all of my AutoCorrect entries and have to start from scratch? ...

Hello, Can anyone tell me how to convert the glo file in Instant Text to autocorrect? I have asked for help from Instant Text with no response. I do not want to/can't afford with the wages today to upgrade, and quite frankly getting sick and tired of what appears to be constant glitches in programs (which IMO are on purpose) to more or less force people into buying newer and better versions. As an MT, I am already in the poor house. When I bought it years ago, I was told ...

think it would be worth it to purchase something like Instant Text. But I'm worried that if Word crashes, my computer crashes, I change jobs, etc that I will lose my entire expander file. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to back up these files to move to a new computer when necessary or do you have to redo the entire thing (ugh). I have one of those little flash drives -- but not sure how to get the files onto the thing. Thanks so much! ...
