#1 Global Edit Shortcuts When defining or replacing in the Global dialog box, with your cursor positioned in the New Text field, you can right click and select a multitude of additional actions to be applied to the text in the New Text field. Such actions include number conversions, suggesting capitalization options where the word "and" is changed to an ampersand (&) and more. When the cursor is positioned in the New Text field of a Global or Replace dialog, you can right click the New Text field or press Shift+F10 and a menu containing a number of actions displays.
Old Text to New Text Press F6 or from the right click menu press n. This action brings the text in the Old Text field down to the New Text field. Why might you use this action? If the text in the Old Text field is spelled correctly and just needs something added to the end of the text, you can copy it to the New Text field rather than retype the text.
Auto Number conversion Auto Number Conv(ersion) - press Ctrl + Shift + u or from the right click menu press v. This feature brings down the old text to the New Text field and uses the keywords in your NumberConversion.ini file to convert the number and/or words based on the text in the New Text field.

For example, if you have "25 hundred dollars" in the New Text field and you select Auto Number Conv, the result will be "$2500." If the New Text field contained 15 red river Drive, selecting Auto Number Conv would result in 15 Red River Drive. This option allows you to use the automatic number conversion feature and global it throughout the transcript.
Number Conversion Press Ctrl + u or from the right click menu press m. This feature displays the Number Conversion dialog box with a list of conversion formats. For example, let's say "twelve thousand four hundred sixty-eight" is repeated throughout the transcript. Instead of highlighting the entire number and pressing Ctrl + u to convert each occurrence, you can simply highlight the number, define/global, press Ctrl + u and display the same conversion list and global it throughout the transcript.
Cap Suggestions Press F5 or from the right click menu press g. This feature displays a list of capitalization suggestions along with capitalization suggestions that change the word "and" to an ampersand (&). Although the right click menu is available, F5 can be used directly from the Global dialog box.
NOTE: Alt + a and Ctrl + F5 are still available in the global dialog box to cycle through the usual capitalization options.
Surround with commas Alt + , (comma) or from the right click menu, press s. This feature displays a list of suggested comma placements based on the words in the New Text field. Once you select a suggestion, it is globaled in the transcript. This is not a new feature in the Global dialog box as Alt + , (comma) in the Global dialog box will bring down the same suggestions.
Surround with quotes Alt + ' (apostrophe) or from the right click menu, press r. This feature displays a list of suggested quote placements based on the words in the New Text field. Once you select a suggestion and complete the global, it is globaled in the transcript.

Split word Press Ctrl + l (L) or from the right click menu, press l (L). This feature displays of list of words that can be made from a compound word and allows you to global the split words. For example, if the word in the New Text field is "background", the list displays "back ground". This feature uses the same split word logic as Edit's Split Compound Word feature.
Extended Characters F9 or from the right click menu, press x. This action displays the Insert Character dialog box which allows the insertion of extended ASCII characters or symbols. F9 is active from the Global dialog box and also from the right click menu.
Spelling Lookup Ctrl + F7 or from the right click menu, press e. Invokes the Spelling Lookup feature on a word in the New Text field depending on the cursor location.
Spelling Lookup F7 from the right click menu, press f. Highlight a word in the New Text field and check the definition. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary dialog box displays the definition, if available.
Definition F7 from the right click menu, press f. Highlight a word in the New Text field and check the definition. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary dialog box displays the definition, if available.
Add To Wordlist From the right click menu, press w. This action allows you add words to your personal, job or case (if in a case) directly from the New Text field. Rather than waiting for spellcheck to tell you something is misspelled, you can add the word right at the time you are defining it.

#2 Smarter Punctuation End of Sentence Double Punctuation Certain words like a.m., p.m., M.D., Ph.D., etc., if at the end of a sentence you would need to define that steno as the abbreviation followed by one space and a . In Version 17, this is no longer necessary; the double period that would have appeared if the abbreviation and period were only defined separately is automatically eliminated and spacing and capitalization are automatically corrected during translation. Surround with Double Punctuation Catalyst has shortcut keys to quickly add double punctuation around words. This includes punctuation for commas, quotes, parentheses, and dashes. With the exception of dashes, simply mark the word or words and press the punctuation symbol. Dashes > Ctrl =
Enhanced Punctuation Tools > Options > Advanced Edit > Yes/No If set to Yes, you can remove existing punctuation by typing the same punctuation whether the cursor is on the punctuation or not. For example, the sentence, I believe so, yes, it was a home improvement store. If your cursor is positioned immediately after the comma following the word “yes” or immediately before the 'i' in the word "it", and you press comma (,) the result is: I believe so, yes it was a home improvement store. (The comma after the word "yes" is removed.) If your cursor is positioned in the word "yes" and you type a period (.), then the result is: I believe so, yes. It was a home improvement store. (The comma after the word "yes" is replaced by the period, a space is added and the 'i" in 'it" is initial capped. Valid punctuation includes: Period, Question mark, Comma, Semi colon, Colon, and Exclamation mark
The Best of the Edit Commands – Course #5 STARtech March 11th – 13th, 2016

NOTE: If this option is set to Yes and you need to add punctuation in the middle of a word, you will need to use another method such as the Insert dialog box or switching to a keyboard map where the punctuation is not assigned to Smart Punctuation. In other words, the punctuation mark is defined as the punctuation and not Smart Period, Smart Question, etc.
Reporters Dash removes punctuation Tools > Options > Advanced Edit > Yes/No If set to No, when inserting the Reporter's Dash immediately after a question mark, period, comma, colon, semi colon, or exclamation mark ending, the dash will be inserted, the punctuation will not be removed and the initial letter of the word following the dash, if appropriate, will be lower cased. This setting also applies to the Surround with dash (Ctrl + = by default) command when there is punctuation. If the option is set to Yes, punctuation will be deleted. If the option is set to No, the punctuation will not be deleted. See examples below. For example, let's say the questioner is asking a question and pauses long enough for the reporter to think the question is over so the reporter writes a question mark but immediately the questioner continues but with a change of subject. The following sentence is in the transcript:
Q.
And there's what's her last name? She's 43.
If the Reporter's Dash removes punctuation option is set to Yes and you positioned your cursor before the "s" in She and pressed Ctrl + /, the result is: Q.
And there's what's her last name -- she's 43.
If you highlighted 'what's her last name?' and pressed Ctrl + =, the result would be: Q.
And there's -- what's her last name -- she's 43.
If the Reporter's Dash removes punctuation option is set to No and you position your cursor before the "s" in She and press Ctrl + /, the result is: Q.
And there's what's her last name? -- she's 43.
If you highlighted “what's her last name?” and pressed Ctrl + =, the result would be: Q.
And there's -- what's her last name? -- she's 43.

In previous versions, if you positioned your cursor after a colon (:) with two spaces and pressed Ctrl + /, the Reporter's Dash would be inserted and the colon would not be removed. If you positioned your cursor after a colon (:) followed by one space and press Ctrl + /, the Reporter's Dash would be inserted and the colon would be removed. Regardless of the setting of the Reporter's Dash removes punctuation option, pressing Ctrl + / after a colon will work the same as previous versions.
NOTE: The default action is set to Yes which means the Reporter's Dash (Ctrl + / by default) will work the same way as it has always worked and no change is needed.
#3 Homophones Homophones are two or more words that are pronounced the same but differ in spelling or meaning or both. For example, the words "there,” "their" and "they're" are homophones. Even if you have different dictionary definitions for each of them, you may occasionally write the wrong one. You can position your cursor immediately before "their" and use the Cycle Homophone command and replace "their" with "they're" without having to type the correct word. You can also use it to put common complicated mistranslates in the Homophones file as a quick and easy way to cycle between the words. For example, if occasionally you mistroke a word such as "commission" when really wanting "communications" you could put the word "commission" in the Homophones file with the word "communication" as a homophone and then put the word "communication" in the Homophone file with the word "commission" as a homophone. This allows you to then quickly switch to the correct word. One other use for this feature could be to switch between acronyms and full names. For example, you could add Federal Bureau of Investigation as a full description to the FBI entry. When you want to change Federal Bureau of Investigation to FBI you highlight "Federal Bureau of Investigation" and use the Cycle Homophone feature to change it to "FBI".

For example, the name Carol has homophones of carol, carrel, Carroll, Carole, Carrol, Caryl, Karel and Karol. If you didn’t want any or most of these, you could delete all of them at once and, if desired, then add back only the ones you want.
