Questions #1:  

I do medical transcription using an MS word-type program called Extext.  I  
would like to find out if there is a way to create jump/stop codes within a
Macro/Expander/Template or just a regular document using certain characters
and function keys.  For example:

The patient is a    **-year-old male, who came into the ER with.............

I would like to be able to jump to the spot with the asterisks .  I used
another program that used @@ and then control-J to jump to the @@ codes, but
I do not know if MS Word 2003 has this sort of function.  Additionally, the
EXtext program utilizes the control-J feature to access the patient
demographics screen, so another command would be needed to use for jump/stop
codes.  

Questions #2:  

How do I align my numbered lists properly.

For Example:  If I have created a number list here is how I want it to appear:
MEDICATIONS:
1.  Tylenol
2.  Ibuprofen.
3.  XXXXXXX.

However, when I use the number function on MS Word 2003, this is how it
appears:
MEDICATIONS:
   1.  Tylenol.
   2.  Ibuprofen.
   3.  XXXXXXX.

How do I keep it from pushing the text over to the right under my heading?  
This happens with bullets as well.  thanks glogrrl

What you appear to be describing are macrobutton fields used as place
markers - http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm
Use F11 to move between the fields.
The indenting with bullets and numbers is a function of the paragraph
formatting. Create numbered and bulleted paragraph styles using whatever
number/bullet format and indent  you require and apply the style(s).
