Ha! I was just thinking to myself I think I totally misunderstood what you wanted to accomplish. But what I posted is good info. I'm wondering how you really have your files set up. I'll blab more later. I'm going downstairs now to finally turn my working computer on. That's great you've got it working. Now I want to know what you've done. Maybe we all need a macro like that! Export it and email it to me when you get a chance!!! Oh, I know you're busy!

I'm a bit dense. Is your new macro anything like inserting the blurb for (Record Read) while writing? Is it an actual .ecl file or did you make a RT macro only? I'm really curious now and want to know!!! Do you have time to email it to me?

When you get into the macros and you see the whole bunch of them on the right side, you select the one you want to export. When you click export, you export it to a certain place. Like the desktop. You have to give it a name. Then when you get into your email, you click on attach and browse to the desktop and select it. That should do it. I hope it works - I really appreciate you trying!

If you're exporting the macro, it would be CLAYMACRO.mac The include/bock file would be an .ecl file.

I just got online - normally I'm up much later!

You can't ever open a .mac file. They can only be imported. Look, I don't want to stress you out, but if you export it to your desktop, when you give it the name, it will automatically add the .mac to it. Then don't open it. Just get in your email, write me, attach that CLAYMACRO.mac and hit send. If it doesn't work, forget about it. I would really like to talk to you about this one day, however! No worries! I'm going to the chiropractor this morning and I have a depo this afternoon. I tell you this as a friendly reminder to take your stretching breaks!!! Don't be like I was 30 years ago so you end up having to rehab yourself later. I really appreciate your effort - I'm not kidding.

Clay, I just got home. I took one of the absolute worst depos in 32 years!!! More on that later. I don't know about my email issue it's really

jenlug@pacbell.net

Anyway, my fields work out fine so when I go downstairs later tonight, I'll look at them and let you know. Maybe you called support in the meantime???

Later!

You say it's cutting off some letters. I think it's because you're clicking on Adjustable before you've given the field size a number. First click on field size and give it a 25 or something. Then click on adjustable.

You have to remember that what you see BEFORE you fill out the fields doesn't count. For example, my caption page has a place for the Day of the week, Month and Day. However before it's filled in, it takes up three lines. No biggie. When filled in, it's one.

They're like this: Ctrl A to make the field. Field label DAY - Field size: check Adjustable - Variable weekday - Use list file - I browsed to my YWeekday. All my include files start with a Y. If I want it always capitalized, I put a check mark there.

My month is Field label DEPOMONTH - size X Adjustable - Variable - DEPOMONTH - Use YMonth

My DEPODAY is similar.

Where I have a check by Last field is when I want my filling in to stop so I can make an adjustment of some kind. I don't use Right flush contents. I do use Delete line if empty often. Like where I have my
---oOo---
INDEX OF EXHIBITS
{This is a field that is adjustable and says Delete line if empty and last field}(NO EXHIBITS MARKED)

If there ARE exhibits, when I land on it (by pressing Ctrl E to fill it in) I press enter and the whole line disappears. If I have no exhibits, I fill it in with a letter and then I backspace to delete that letter so all that remains is this: (NO EXHIBITS MARKED) Then I fill in my next field by pressing Ctrl E.

This is so complicated when you write it down. If I had your email, I could email you my files. My brain is fried after today. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, call support. I have no idea what your fields need to look like. Good luck!

Dear Magnum Steno Fan Club Member,

You are being addressed in the group, and a few of the members would appreciate a response.

Thank you sincerely for your time and attention to this matter.

Hey Clay,
Are you seriously in Mozambique! If so, I think we're neighbors!!! I hear it is beautiful there!

LOL...oh, well, I hear it's beautiful there too! :0)
Congratulations on rocking the test!

Clay,
I feel so out of the loop! We were at the beach when you posted your funny photo and I couldn't get it to come up on my iPhone. I clicked on the link you have posted here on CSR Nation and got "Not found." Could you forward it to me at clreporting@mac.com? Or forward the link? I am so curious now.

Sounds like you're busy. Good for you. Are you liking court or depos? Still have time to skateboard too?

Megan has one more 200 and then her qualifier. Shooting for the Oct. CSR.

Waiting in anticipation for your response :)

Hey, Clay! Are you still pro teming? San Diego was just told they can't use pro tem reporters until further notice, and I just got hired.

I officially got called today and was told that I was approved to start pro teming, however the court reporters office was just told yesterday that they cannot use pro tems until further notice because of the budget and probably because of Arnold. So as soon as they are able to use pro tems again, I'll be working with them. It really sucks. I'll just have to freelance till the time comes. Hopefully it will all blow over once this ER thing is voted down!

My numbers are great but I write them out - no number bar. I don't know how you write, but I can pull out all my numbers in my main dix, and give you a pic of what's checked on my numbers conversion setting.

Let me know if you use the number bar.

I'm leaving in 20 minutes to go again to the chiropractor!

Too bad you use the number bar! I really don't know how it works, but I'll email you a pic of my number settings.

Something in here may help. Scroll down.

Good luck!

CRR here you come! But first, just enjoy your pass!!!

Does Jenny know something I don't know???

I'll forgive her for the "too-bad-you-use-the-number-bar" comment. :)

Since I'm sitting here bored, (*whistling) wondering if my phone is broken, checking out your new pic. . .

I don't see RPR up there ^, silly.

"Delete Quick" before anyone sees. :)

MY BOY IS AN RPR!!!!! WOO-HOOOOOOO!!!!

You know it's going on my page!!

LOVE FROM YOUR DORKIE MAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats!

Thanks 4 a Great Birthday :) You better come visit me in SanFran!

Congrats, Clay! You're an inspiration! CRR next?

Hey, I just picked up your message tonight. I'm off this week. Maybe I didn't tell you that.

Your checks are still in my center console, so when you get home on Friday, there they'll be.

Hope you're having a great week!

Chase and Cole left for wrestling camp this morning, and I'm already missing them. They're gone until Saturday. It seems so weird with only one kid at home!!

We still might make it to the desert this week, but I'm not sure. It's just kinda nice being home, piddling in the garden, etc. Dad wants to see you in action, though, so it is a possibility that we'll drop in on you, even though I'm leaning wanting to stay home. I already know how cooool you look when you work. :)

Smoochies!

Glad to hear your dix building is going so well! Spread the word on those integral deals with your less-techie reporter KWOERKS.

WOERK = worker
KWOERK - coworker

It only took me 30 years to learn those!

Whatever is one stroke that works is lovely! Have you downloaded the RT editing kit yet from the Advantage website? Are you doing any RT macros? I'm doing more and more - love it! It only took me 29 years to do that!

Macros from your writer only like fix the last untran. You stroke the correct stroke, then stroke your "fix" stroke. Mine is F*KS. Or you writer the wrong word so you want to find it and change it into the right word. So you stroke the wrong word, then the right word, then your Find and Change macro stroke. Mine is F*TS. Like that.

Listen, it's more advanced, and you don't have to do it now. BUT if you find you have a day that isn't too jam packed, go to the updates section and download it. Print out the manual and read it over then from there. You don't have to do it all at once. I've been slowly incorporating more for the last two years!

I'm off to my massage now - take your breaks!

To the WSS sufferer:

I write "imagine" MAJ and "imaginary" MAEJ.



So you all went to the beach without me??

My shoulder is absolutely killing me, and I'm hoping I can make it through the day picking another jury on a DUI.

No more aggressive baseball games in the pool on Sundays!!!!!

Of course Dad and I lost, soooo I take that back. I'm not quitting until we WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off to doc's. Hope today went great for you!

Clay, planning a trip to the Bay Area??? I noticed you joined the group today. Work is slow around these parts, but you never know! I did get a job through this site in October. Hope you're having some fun along with working these days!

Where are you? What a beautiful - although warm day today! I'm a half an hour north of Santa Cruz in the mountains.

Gee, I wish I could help! It should be gorgeous over there. That's where I had one of my super hard video depos on the 1st. I stayed at the Hyatt at Embarcadero 4. I'm actually doing the billing for the job now. The CR firm is paying for my hotel. That's how they bribed me into taking the job!

Good luck getting something - but enjoy your stay!!!

did you get this?? 4:47 pm
A message from Karen Cooper to all members of Cover Depos (The bay area) on CSRnation!

Hello to all, I'm in need of a reporter to cover a 9:30 in San Francisco tomorrow. If you are available please email Karen Cooper at calendar@benchmarkdepo.com

It shows they got it covered. Is it you????

Rats! There's a lot of hungry reporters out here!

Just enjoy it!

Hey,

Dad has the boat from 8:00 to 12:00, so whenever you get off the plane and over there, you can just hop in da boat!

(Jenny finds the most incredible pics!)

I ordered you a toner cartridge to be delivered to Autry tomorrow, Thursday ($70).

Also ordered ten boxes of covers -- we're splitting them -- all sizes, hopefully to be delivered on Friday, but Monday at the latest. Covers are going to be well over $500, so good thing you're making the big bucks this week. :)

I'm thinking about you . . .

I sure hope you're holding out okay. Remember, it's okay to call "uncle."

Did you see this:

Attorneys' Choice in Century City, Ca.

doesn't pay their bills.

It's just the price we have to pay to get the job done.

I ordered ten boxes. You get a rate reduction at three boxes and nine, so I did an even ten so it was easy to split. Oh, and that was after a 10% discount from Pengad as they just newly acquired Stenograph's clients.

There are four different sizes, so you'll have two boxes of the smalls, which are the ones I use the most, so I just thought you would, too, and then one box each of the remaining sizes: 300 pgs, 250, and 150.

So you're going to be stocked up for a while.

I'm ordering paper tomorrow.

Oh, and you're welcome!!

Hope you're still hanging in there with the killer week. Good thing you just came off a vacation!!

Well, how many pages today??

How many hours of sleep are you getting??

(I'm trying not to be a mom and stop worrying:)

The covers already showed up today. I can't believe it!

So I have a surprise for you . . .

Are you buying lunch on Tuesday or what????

Mozambique still?

Oh, and you need to drag your "about me" and pics back up top. They got shuffled down to the bottom.

Clay, GREAT skateboard photos! Man, you're GOOD! Oakley and I were duly impressed.

Hi, Clay! Hope you're doing great!
