It's not the password they're asking for.  I can't even get to that screen.  They say the license is expired and they want the serial number from the little piece that sticks in the laptop.  It doesn't follow the instructions I got at all.   I'll  just call Steno. in the morning and see what's up.

 

Good to know you haven't had any problems.  It'll be nice not to have that cable in the way.  The less cords the better!

Hi Gwen -

 

I have been using the wireless bluetooth with my Diamante and have not had any problems.  As far as the password, I remember getting it off my Diamante -- select "More", then "Wireless", then "Bluetooth", and your passkey will display.  I can't remember if there is more to it, but maybe that will help :)

P.S. I think it's time for a drink....

I'm having trouble getting it installed.  I only got to the second step (where you put the little device into the laptop) and then I got a message that it's expired and they want a serial number.  I put in the serial number on the device (which is extremely tiny) and they still want like 10 more numbers before you can proceed.  I guess I have to wait til the Steno help line is open tomorrow.  Why is nothing easy?

Gwen, I use cables so I can't help you on this.  Sorry.

Also, I'm going to install the wireless thingies that I bought so I could 'hook up' the diamonte and the laptop wirelessly.  (Is that a word?)

 

I've been sort of afraid to do that in case it didn't work well.   Sometimes my laptop has issues trying to communicate with the wireless printer.

 

Two questions:

1.  Anyone who uses wireless and has CC and the diamonte - have you had any problems with that?

 

2.  If a law office has stuff on wireless, there won't be any interference, will there?  I guess that would actually be the same as question #1 because it would come under the heading of 'any problems.'

Gwen,

When you have time, you might check out the discussion up above about Alt A.

Gwen, another thing I use sometimes when editing is the automatic number conversion.

Let's say the witness gives their social security number and it comes up in your text as 111005555.  You can put your cursor on this number.  Hit Control U.  The Number Conversion box will come up.  You can just hit S and it will take down to social security and select that and the computer will put the dashes in for you.  

You can do the same thing w/ telephone numbers, many things.

Gwen,

If you define something and you don't like what you've defined (a global), hit control Y and you will see your global table.  Select, by putting your cursor on what you want to get rid of.  Next go up to "EDIT" at the top and get the drop-down menu to appear.  Select "undo global."  That will take it back to steno or English.  You need to fix this entry from the beginning.

I'm not sure what you mean by "shortcuts."

If you search for something in the transcript by hitting F4 and then say you're searching for "puppy," and you want to go to every spot in the transcript where puppy is, you can just hit F3 to keep searching to the next spot "puppy" comes up.

F8 takes you to scan stops and steno.

To make a scanstop you can just hit F4 O.  

To take this particular scanstop out, you can just hit "enter" in front of a scanstop you have put in.

Control S saves to your hard drive.

 

That's all I can think of for now.

OK, good.  Now I know how to do a global, which I didn't before!  ;)  Are there other ways to do a global?

 

I type quite fast, as I'm sure many of you do too. <g>  One thing that happened when I was on turbocat, is that I'd often be typing so fast -- well, not really typing but using the keys as I went through editing, that I'd do something 'wrong' and I'd get some sort of result that I wasn't expecting.  This would result in me finding a 'shortcut' to doing something useful.  (It could also result in huge catastrophes; thank goodness for control z.)  I also had friends on turbocat that discovered things and would share them with me.  Has anyone discovered 'shortcuts' in CC?
