You are so right
Jean, You are right on target in my case. What I thought I could not live without (How PRD worked) because nonessential after I was up and running with IT. However, I do still use the space bar for expansions. I now have more than one entry for the same short form, but I end of remembering the number at the end instead of glancing down. That just seems to work best for me. In retrospect to the transition to IT, I think the most overwhelming fear is financial. When an MT is paid strictly by the line, the fear of not getting a paycheck clouds openness to a new way of doing things. For me, transitioning to MS Word was scary enough, so having IT function like PRD for a time was very reassuring. Then as I said in my column, Marianne's excellent support was probably the thing that kept me presevering. Probably the second reason I was so determined to preserve my PRD file was the hours I had spent over three years building that file. I was not going to give that up without a fight! I look at the glossaries available with Version V and marvel at what a great start that is for newbies and students. Too bad I didn't have that. From all MTs, thank you for listening to what we want in an expander and continuing to update your software to meet those needs. That's a rare commodity these days that someone actually listens to MTs. Sharon
