Please let me know if you have any questions!įor single words, I tend to use a few letters. Be sure to include whatever documentation you have that shows that you meet the prerequisites for the course. Right above the description for the course in tiny print there is a link to “request an entry code.” Click on the link and follow the instructions. Please go to the Psyc& 100 entry in the class schedule and log in with your Highline username and password. I’m glad you’re interested in taking General Psychology! I just type and it expands to students email me for an entry code to get into my General Psychology course because the system doesn’t know they meet the prerequisite, I type #entry which expands into: I don’t type out my work email address any more. I bet you can guess what I use for agreeableness, openness, extraversion, and neuroticism. Bfc, for example, expands into conscientiousness. I don’t want to repeatedly type any of the Big Five, but especially conscientiousness. I have another assignment on the Big Five personality traits.

Your web browser – and, yes, that includes your course management system.Ī text expander, like PhraseExpress, allows you to create keyboard shortcuts for longer phrases. It works at the level of the operating system. Personally, I pay for the “Standard” version not because I need the features, but because I want to support the developers who maintain I product I use daily. For significant version upgrades which do not happen often, you’ll need to purchase again, but you’ll get a discount as a current pay-for user. They’re a one-time fee – not annual subscription – for that version. The pay-for upgrades give you more functionality that may or may not be useful to you. (Mac functionality is similar, I just don’t have a Mac.) PhraseExpress is free for non-commercial use. The reviews for the mobile versions are mixed, so I’m going to limit the post to Windows. PhraseExpress is a text expander (and more) for Windows, Mac, Android, and iPhone. My new policy: if I’m still using a particular technology 10 years later, it deserves a new blog post. current-icons-from-lower-right-t.jpg system-config-1.jpg system-configuration-2.I first wrote about PhraseExpress in 2009. Thank you for your understanding and expertise. Rather than do that, I thought I would contact the gurus at Expert Exchange as to what I might be able to try without risking the 50 hours of work I put into it creating what I need in the latest version I am using (or have been using) on my machine. I have a huge amount of data in phrase express and therefore hesitate to delete both versions (if they are different) and start afresh with the latest version from the phrase express home page, since I am afraid that all of the phrases and work I have put into it to date will not be carried over and I will have to start from scratch. Approximately 2 weeks ago in an attempt to solve the issue, I tried different combinations of checking one version and not checking the other and found that by checking both, there was a greater likelihood that phrase express was active when I booted my machine. I have always had issues with phrase express being shown twice in the "msconfigexe" listing under the Startup tab (for years-but don't ask me which was checked because I don't remember). All I know now is that I cannot get phrase express to open, regardless of the fact that I have the icon on the Taskbar and is listed in the start button/all programs listing(twice). I opened up: Start button/msconfig.exe and made some changes. ![]() Once last month the small icons which are displayed after clicking on the up arrow on the start bar to the right, have occasionally not shown phrase express as active.įrom that point on, I have tried various things some of which may be counterproductive but it seemed like a good idea at the time, but I wasn't really sure what I was doing. ![]() I have a Windows 7 PC environment and I've been using phrase express for years without a problem.
