  3. In the STN Online and Results window, select File > Transcript Filters....

  4. In the Transcript Filters dialog, type the name that your modified transcript will have (e.g., express2.trn). Click Save.

  5. In the Specify Filter dialog, load a predefined filter from the Load Filter drop-down menu.
