Shorthand for Windows^TM
Version 7.x Revision History

• There is a new "Verify Target Window Receives Keystrokes" in the Preferences box. If you experience very slow text playback, try unchecking this option to speed up Shorthand.

• There is a new Tabs checkbox in Dictionary Edit box. If this box is checked, pressing the TAB key will insert a Tab character into the Text to Type box instead of selecting the next button.
• There is a new Keyword Color button in the Display page of the Preference box. You can use this button to change the text color of the keyword column (which is color red by default) in the Dictionary list box.
• Registered users can now remove their registration from a computer by deleting the SH7.LIC file. Shorthand will then revert back into an unlicensed copy.
• Pressing a file shortcut key from within Shorthand's Main Window now works correctly.
• The Show Shortcut command in the Dictionary menu now works correctly.
• SHCNV.EXE Version 7.01: This new version of the Shorthand File Converter Utility fixes a bug in which SHCNV fails to convert PRD long forms that contain multiples lines with PRD "{accept}" tags.

• The new Suggestion Window displays the nearest matching keywords as you type.
• You can now link in entries from other dictionaries into the active dictionary.
• There is a new "speed button" toolbar on the Main Window which allows you to access frequently used functions (e.g. add a dictionary item) with a single click.
• Keywords that start with dashes ("-") or apostrophes are now displayed together in the dictionary list box. Previous versions had used Window's "Word Sorting" feature which essentially ignores dashes and apostrophes when sorting.
• Fixed bug in which Shorthand did not correctly simulate the "=" and "-" keys with the @KEY tag.

• Fixed "Access Violation Error" which may occur if you uncheck the AutoReplace box and restart Shorthand.

• Picklist items can now hold strings with more than 255 characters.
• Fixed bug in which input forms did not receive focus in certain situations.
• To conserve space, the optional description field of dictionary items are now limited to a maximum of 80 characters.
• The SHIFT key was being enabled if you right click on the Shorthand icon without choosing any of the menu options. This has been fixed.

• This major revision has Shorthand redesigned as a 32-bit Windows application compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT 4.0
• The Shorthand icon is now conveniently accessible from the Windows sytem tray.
• Very large dictionaries with thousands of entries are now supported.
• The on-line help has been redesigned with new sections on troubleshooting.
• There is a new @INPUTFILE tag for inserting text files anywhere within your Shorthand text.
• There is a new @PAUSE tag for simulating pauses anywhere within your Shorthand text.
• The @KEY tag syntax has been revised to support repeated keystrokes.
