    Hi. I just passed the SpeechInk test with a 92 and I have a few formatting questions for people who do SpeechInk a lot. I noticed they had a MS word template so I downloaded it because I assume they want you to use that. I cannot type right on their hit because I need to use a foot pedal and auto word shortcuts or I will never get these done fast enough.
    1. After the "Q:" do I tab?
    2. How many spaces after the end of a sentence? I can't tell from their sample.
    3. I thought I read somewhere that Word's AutoCorrect shortcuts would end up garbled. Is this true? If so, what about Fast Fox (works with Express Scribe) shortcuts? I was planning to work directly within Express Scribe until I saw that the format has to be .txt, .doc or .rtf only.

    Thanks very much for any help you can give me!

    Never tab in. All sentence spaces are 1 space and all paragraph breaks are 1 empty line.
