What’s going on
QuickText is the list of ready-made phrases you can insert into a transcript with a click. In Word, it’s found under Transcription Tools on the ribbon.
When TRX customizes QuickText for your court, your court’s preferred wording is saved inside a special starting file made just for your jurisdiction. You never have to set this up yourself. It happens automatically when you open a TPro transcript.
Blank Word document: Word has no idea which court you work for, so QuickText shows only the standard phrases.
TPro document: The add-in recognizes your jurisdiction and loads your court’s custom wording.
So if QuickText looks different after you install, reinstall, or update the add-in, check which type of document you have open first.
QuickText at a glance
| Blank Word document | TPro document |
Jurisdiction name at top of panel? | No | Yes |
Your court’s custom wording? | No, standard phrases only | Yes |
Who updates the QuickText list? TRX does. You can’t add or edit entries yourself. If you need a phrase added or changed, contact TRX Support.
How to check your QuickText
Use these steps after you install, reinstall, or update the add-in.
Step 1: Look at a blank document
Open a new, blank document in Microsoft Word.
Click Transcription Tools on the ribbon to open the panel.
Look at QuickText. You’ll see the standard phrases, not your court’s wording. This is normal.
Step 2: Look at a TPro document
Download the TPro Word document for your transcript from Request Central.
Open it in Microsoft Word, then click Transcription Tools on the ribbon.
Look at the top of the panel. Your jurisdiction name should be listed there.
Look at QuickText. The phrases TRX customized for you should now show your court’s preferred wording.
Troubleshooting
My wording is missing in a blank document.
This is expected. Your court’s wording only loads with a TPro document. Open one from Request Central instead.
I don’t see my jurisdiction at the top of the panel.
Make sure the file you opened is a TPro Word document downloaded from Request Central, not a new or blank Word document.
My jurisdiction shows at the top, but my wording is still missing.
