I just posted this over on CR-Net:

I think we are getting confused because we are thinking that AutoMagic is the same thing as the info bar.  The info bar is the column to the left of the transcript.  You can have AutoMagic choices appear there as well as AutoBriefs if that works for you.  You can check them to appear in the info bar settings by right clicking on the info bar or getting into User Settings/Display tab and checking the view toggles button. The info bar can be resized by clicking and dragging its right side.

There are other options to toggle as well.  If you know your hyperkeys already, uncheck Hotkeys.  That will give you a bit more room for your transcript.  Try unchecking the info bar, check pop-up, and see if you like your AutoMagic choices to pop up in your transcript for you.  Experiment!  And read the manual!  If you don't have the V5 manual, it can be downloaded from the Advantage site.

Thanks, Christy.  That's very helpful.

Sorry.  It might give you 8 suggestions of how you want to change the word "dean", not "job".  Tired head.

I only use AutoMagic popup window at jobs.  So when your cursor is on a word like dean, it might have 8 suggestions of what you want to do with that job.  It might ask do you want to global "dean Smith," do you want to change the word to "done", change the word to "deal", usually close suggestions in case you stroked it wrong.

So it will have a # 1, 2, 3, etc. beside the options.  While you're in a depo and you put your cursor on that word, you just hit the number you want.  I also have a way to do it from my machine that is just like me typing 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. from my laptop.  So then it changes it whatever you chose.

I don't like it when I'm editing because it gets in my way.  I use hyperkeys and I can do those keys much faster than reading all the options and picking one.

It's mostly for beginners that don't know how to edit yet or in a job so that you can make quick choices for untrans or for words that tranned incorrectly.

It's pretty cool.  And smart.  Just turn on the AutoMagic popup under User Settings, Display, ViewToggles, InfoBar Settings, Popup checked.  That will pop the little box up above the word where your cursor is.

What exactly is this Auto Magic anyway?  What is it going to do?  I have it checked but not quite sure what to expect it to do.

Yeah, I called tech support and they said I have to have that Pop-up window checked and then it will come up.  I didn't have it checked for some strange reason.  I would think all of that would transfer from V4 but maybe not.  Thanks, Jenny.

Kelli, Are you working with a split RT screen?  If so, make sure your cursor is in the top screen, and hit your panic stroke, or Ctrl Page Down.  Are you doing a virtual retran or are you in RT right now while testing?  Do you have the Auto Magic window open?  Did you make sure you checked the box in the User Settings/ Realtime tab?

you may not be hitting a group of words often enough for it to trigger a suggestion....try doing a group of words over and over again....with some other ordinary rinky dink words in between just to give it some relief

I just did a test run with V5 and I don't see AutoBrief coming up at all now.  I have the box checked for it to but it's not.  Any suggestions?

And the Number of Suggestions means the number of total suggestion for all the briefs.  It's NOT the number of suggestions for one group of words you want a brief for.
