Brief It Options
Write Twice to Define
Brief It, by default, automatically creates a J-Define the first time you use a Suggested brief. When this
option is active, you must consecutively write a brief twice before Brief It creates a J-Define. All
subsequent uses of the brief only need to be written once. For example, Brief It suggests, S*F, for “State
Family Insurance.” You want to use the brief so you write, S*F/S*F, which places the words “State
Family Insurance” in your transcript and puts the definition, S*F = State Family Insurance, in your job
dictionary. To use the brief again, write, S*F.
You may want to use this option to try a Suggested brief before making it a definition or to prevent a
possible misstroke in accepting a brief. The default is Yes.
Only Suggest One Stroke Briefs
Brief It, by default, always suggests a one stroke brief with the asterisk before suggesting a two stroke
brief. When this option is active, Brief It suggests only one stroke briefs.
