Video: Case CAT Edit Commands
Here’s a video showing some of the edit features of Case CAT.
This video shows how to keep names that begin with the title of Mr., Dr., etc., together with the person’s actual name on the same line of a transcript. The sticky space feature is explained.
The video also shows how to create a new paragraph. In my dictionary, I personally have PRAF/PRAF defined as a new paragraph, and PAR/PAR defined as a new line. There is also a demonstration of how to all cap a phrase, or to uncap a phrase (highlight it, then press Ctrl + F5).

“Do you solemnly swear or affirm that you will interpret accurately, completely and impartially, follow all official guidelines established by this court for legal interpreting or translating, and discharge all of the duties and obligations of legal interpretation and translation?”
