VedPro 6.0 Editor Guide

Please keep the following fundamental rules in mind while working in the document editor:

• Component Assembly: We have divided the document into distinct components, all securely stored in the database under your Job ID. Whenever a preview or PDF is generated, these components assemble dynamically into a formatted document according to the worktype template.
• Instant Database Persistence: Whenever you press Save, Preview, or Submit, your work is immediately committed to the database.
• Preserve Empty Spacing Lines: Never delete empty lines from the Header or Footer. They are specifically calibrated for precise visual placement on printed and exported pages.
• Tabular Cell Confinement: Most text fields requiring data entry are positioned within specific table cells so that content cannot unintentionally overflow or disrupt neighboring sections.
• Font Integrity: Watch out for sudden or unintended changes in font family or font size. The default system font is Times New Roman – 12 pt.
• Smart Action Buttons: The Save / Preview / Submit buttons activate as soon as at least one change is detected in the document content.

There are three ways to switch the editor to full screen for an immersive, distraction-free transcription experience:

The universal keyboard shortcut to toggle Full Screen is: Ctrl + Shift + F

To insert a page break and force content onto a new page, use the toolbar Page Break button or Insert menu:

The Header & Footer contain repeating text that appears at the top and bottom of each page, with specific exceptions such as the Cover Page or First Page.

Depending on the template configuration, a document might not utilize a Header or Footer. In such cases, the buttons to edit them are automatically hidden.

The total vertical height allowed for Header and Footer content is restricted by the Top and Bottom margins defined in the worktype template.

The Contents section is the primary body of the document positioned between the Header and Footer. In multi-page reports, content flows continuously across pages.

By default, the editor opens with Contents ready for immediate typing. If the template contains distinct Headers or Footers, switch to them using their respective editor buttons.

The Cover Page is a distinct page with its own independent layout that does not share the common Header, Footer, or Content of subsequent pages.

It represents Page 1 of the document and operates under its own template rules.

The First Page (Front-Page designate) serves as Page 1 with unique introductory Header and Footer elements.

The contents of the First Page may span onto multiple pages. Starting from subsequent pages, the standard Header and Footer will apply consistently through the end of the document.

Whenever system or script updates are released, changes may not take effect until your browser cache is refreshed.

To clear the browser cache quickly, copy and paste this address into your Chrome address bar:

chrome://settings/clearBrowserData

When the popup appears, click "Clear Data" and reload the editor tab.

For legal pleadings or transcripts with vertical line numbering, please adhere strictly to the Font Family and Font Size preset in the template.

The line numbers along the left margin are geometrically calibrated to match the line height and font size of the template. Deviating from template settings will disrupt alignment.

Each template has predefined typography, line heights, and justification. To maintain these presets when pasting text from outside sources:

If you intentionally need to maintain an intricate external layout or table structure, use standard Ctrl + V.

To highlight text, select the desired words with your mouse or keyboard, click the Highlight ("Background Color") icon in the editor toolbar, and choose your color.

The toolbar provides two dedicated buttons for paragraph indentation: Increase Indent (Indent-Right) and Decrease Indent (Indent-Left).
