Many styles...
Jon, This is definitely an interesting style of using Instant Text. The idea is to use dedicated abbreviations or a "system" for a good part of the work, and these entries are in the Phrase advisories (a misnomer if you are using this style). Then there are the long words that are less frequent. So while it may not be worth defining and remembering an abbreviation, you will be glad to find them in the Word advisory regardless of what you type. Also for imprecise typists like myself, the word advisory shows the words even if I miss some letters "imrecise" "impecise"... But there are many other styles. Many people use smaller glossaries that are more narrowly targetted to a given doctor or specialty, often produced by compiling past production. It all depends on where you start. If you come to Instant Text from another expander such as PRD, Jon's style may be a natural. If you have well-defined specialties, the glossary-per-specialty approach may be preferable. It also depends on how good you are at memorizing long lists or using a system... Jean Ichbiah
