Hello,
In Ms Word97 you can have much more powerful tools for macros.
I created a voice macro in MS Word 97 that will pull the patient's full name and
date of exam as a filename.
Such as: John, Smith Feb. 22nd 98
In a specific directory as well.
It goes as;
First create a macro in MS Word 97 that will get the patient's name and date of
exam from the dictated document.
Then create a voice macro that will
1- run the MsWord macro
2- bring up the save as dialog box with a SendKeys "{Alt+f}a"
3- specify the directory with a SendKeys "c:\my documents\"
4- paste the contents of the clipboard with a SendKeys "{Ctrl+v}"
5- and close the save as dialog with a SendKeys "{Enter}"
Also to speed up DNS you can turn off some features in MS Word :
-Click on Tools and then Options...
-Turn off all features in the Spelling & Grammar tab, at the View tab turn off all
features but the vertical scroll bar.
-That wil speed up a little.
If you have any more questions let me know!!

Rose,--------------E3E451953E0F6132B772F1B7--This actually helpful to me, I have been thinking of writing my first
macro that does a similar procedure. Perhaps you can tell me if Nat's
macro language can handle this:I dictate patient progress notes and name the individual files as the
first 3 letters of the patient's last name followed by the 4 digit month
and day (ie a note for patient john doe on February 20 would be named
doe0220. I use the RTF format, the extension is added automatically by
Win95).The patients name and date is always in the format:
Name: John Doe
Date: 2-20-98The name line is always the 3rd line of the progress note (1st 2 lines
are letterhead).I want the macro to extract the 1st 3 letters of the last name,reformat
the date and string the day and month with the 1st 3 letters of the last
name, then bring up the file save box, insert the file name and close.Do you know if Nat has the selection, date, and string functions to
handle this?Thanks
