Jeremy,
Perfect.

Thanks again, Christine.
My techie advised me to e-mail him the .dmp file that Windows creates.

Jeremy,
To back something up in CaseCat, you highlight the file, hit Ctrl B and choose where you want to back it up to. You can back up to a flash drive every time you edit or finish working. Not sure if this answers the question.

When dealing with a "crash" though, by choosing "user," I was referring to when you are not in CaseCat. It's the screen that pops up after you have chosen "Safe Mode with Networking" and the bios files finish loading. The screen will say on the left side "Administrator" and on the right will be your name and designated icon . This is the screen I was referring to. Many times the mouse is frozen at this point and you just need to power off and start up again.

When you have a crash or problem, take a picture of it. This has helped me. I will take a picture with my iPhone and send it to my computer tech. He can direct me from there.
The error codes and information displayed will help in trouble-shooting.

Hope this helps...

Christine, et al,

In my Automatic Number Conversion file I have the following:
For these, I use digit after cap with number

Section
Rule
Precinct
Highway
Interstate
Route
County route
Rural route
Town route

Plaintiff’s exhibit
Plaintiff’s exhibit No.
Plaintiff’s exhibit number
Plaintiffs’ exhibit
Plaintiffs’ exhibit No.
Plaintiff’s exhibit number
Defendant’s exhibit
Defendant’s exhibit No.
Defendant’s exhibit number
Defendants’ exhibit
Defendants’ exhibit No.
Defendants’ exhibit number
Deposition exhibit
Deposition exhibit No.
Deposition exhibit number
Government’s exhibit
Government’s exhibit No.
Government’s exhibit number
State’s exhibit
State’s exhibit No.
State’s exhibit No.

The rule for the above entries is {DIGITAFTER}{CAPWITHNUM}
(All of these entries should be entered as lower case.)

Letters with Numbers
Example A-19, B-12, C-13

Enter into number conversion file as
A-, B-, et cetera

The rule for letters and numbers is {DIGITAFTER}{NO_SPACE}{CAPWITHNUM


Best of luck to you! Glad things worked out.

Christine, thanks for your response. I'm new to CSRNation, I know to next time start a new thread.
One question, I'm assuming your advice regarding choosing one's user is if one is already in Catalyst. In my case I was on the main desktop. So the larger question is, should this happen while in a job, is there a way to back it up within Catalyst after choosing the user.
Thanks, Jeremy

Anthony and Jeanese,
Just spent two hours with Sandy Starbuck (awesome CaseCatalyst trainer) and now have cleaned up my number translation!! I am so excited to see the numbers coming up as they should. A little refining is still necessary, but I'm ready for LiveNote accountant testimony this week. Woo-hoo!! Thanks for your help.

Now for some Number Conversion file refining: Question: Do you have a list of words that you assign "digit after" to? I.e., page, line, column? I am really looking forward to having the software do all the work instead me editing it later. Or any other great tricks regarding that file. I just modified the "Roman Numeral" rule so that it translates "Roman Numeral II." This is great stuff!! Why didn't I do this sooner? I feel like a newbie!!

Looking forward to some great translations.....

Blue Screen of Death. I was starting up realtime when I put in my RT cable into my USB and after a pause received the BSD telling me I had to shut off my computer and that my BIOS disks are full. I tried it again without incident. My techie says that Windows can be fluky and is running diagnostic tests. Any court reporting ideas?
Thanks, Jeremy

Anthony
Thanks for your explanation. I an setting up a test user and will begin deleting thousands of entries in a copy I have created of my personal dictionary. I will keep you posted....
Thanks SO much!!

No, don't delete all of your numbers. If you have 1 - 100 defined separately e.g. wupb = one; two = two, etc. That's fine, that will work. I'm talking about where you have numbers like 5/hun = 500, 3/thou = 3,000. Those will interefere with the number conversion features in Case. So, if your write 3/thou/1hun, you would get 3,0001000 instead of 3,100.

Automatic number conversion converts numbers based on keywords and their associated rule. For example, eu/was/thr/on/maeu/two/#2ou7/apbd/waoe/phet, would translate to I was there on May 2, 2007, and we met...
or upbd/sefm/two/-f/-t/tpraouls would translate to: Under Section 2 of the Federal Rules...

That's how automatic number conversion works, you have a keyword, a rule, and an option.

Now, if there are entries in the automatic number conversion (ANC) file you don't want to use, then highlight the keyword, a dialog box opens, and in the first box type /// to make that keyword and associated rule inactive. I love the ANC in Case, it really makes life easy when writing numbers.

Also, your number conversion settings that are checked off in your translation options are good for both realtime and if you do a "normal" translation by reading on a file and translating it.

Also, if I didn't mention it earlier, create a new user to test your settings before you go "live" with them just to make sure you're comfortable with those settings and like the way they're converting your numbers. And back up your system files case.
