If one is making 7 cpl in 2007, and they were (sm)
also making 7 cpl in 1977, how does that add up to more money? Only if one works oneself into an early grave.
Have 2007 BMW, before that 2002 BMW, now
that is is almost 2008, well will just have to see what my better half wants to do. He buys me these, surprises me. I do not know what it cost, what he pays each month, don’t care- He says he wants me to have really good drive and he sees that I do.
Yep, I worked for them in 2007
I used to live in VA Beach and they were the only at-home company that would give me a chance since I had only worked in house and only had 1 year's experience. I did QA of transcription from Indian MTs and the pay was low for quite a bit of editing, but at least I got my foot in the door. As soon as I had enough experience, I went elsewhere for more pay. The owner is a really great guy that is very understanding if any personal things come up and he always paid on time. Their IT people were really great too.
Word 2007 help

Can someone out there with more knowledge please help?


I have Word 2007 and my doucments changed from doc.file to docx.files and I have no idea why. I have had word since 2007 so this is not new to me.  


I am also unable to email a document from the Word 2007 home page. I have run a Word diagnostic and cannot seem to find any problems.


Any suggestions welcome.


Thanks!


Word 2007 help
I had the same problem when I switched from Word 2003 to 2007 and had problems with my invoicing due to the docx files. I contacted the person who created MP Count what I use for my invoices, and he said to to open up word and click on the icon in the top left hand corner and scroll down to save as, that will open up other options one being save as Word 97-2003 and from then on everything you save a document it will be saved under doc.file and not docx.file. Hope this helps. FYI I still do not like 2007!!!
I worked there from 2007-08 sm
They people were great.  The platform really just utilizes word and copy and pasting demographics (which you get paid for) and then you upload back to the company.  The pay is on the low side, but my accounts were pretty easy clinic work, so it evened out. 
Anything new on Probity? Last info was from 2007 (nm) TIA

Has Spheris improved any since 2007? I saw an add SM

and was thinking about applying. I worked for them before all the changes happened.


Thanks.


You should take the post of 3/7/2007 off about similar posting
just a suggestion. Again, nothing bad was said by poster, but it does have the phrase over and over again.

I apologize for not knowing that you are not interested in what happens on other boards.
Line count in MS Word 2007
Does anybody know how to get their line count when typing a regular office note in Microsoft Word 2007?  This software is so new to me.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Applied at Transcend but they do not allow Word 2007

and Microsoft quit selling Word 2003 in June of this year, which means they will quit supporting it soon, too.  I hate to pay $187.00 for an outdated piece of software for working.  I have a new computer and specifically requested Windows XP but did not think about Office 2007 not being usable.


 


Been there since 10/2007. There are still slow issues. I do not think they are that flexible..sm
I've been MT for > 10 years. They are better than the evil Q, for whom I worked for 8 years, but I am sure there are better companies out there. The acct specs are no problem, but the platform definitely still is. I have cable Comcast, so slowness issues are not on my end. IT works with it, but not well; there are issues. They will not give me time off--less than a week--to accompany my sister when she picks up the baby she is adopting because I have been there less than a year...Email me if you have specific questions. I would say think carefully before accepting their offer. Make sure you tell the recruiter if you think you will need ANY time off in the next year or you may not get it. I did not think to mention last October that I would need time off this May. Mistake.
I did. On page 3 post from 2007 says no current
x
They were bought by Nuance in the spring of 2007.
And apparently they feel that stating that fact makes them sound more respectable, I guess.  Nuance also owns Dictaphone and Escription. 
Post here in Jan. 2007 said they have mandatory overtime. Is this true?
s
Medware..There hasn't been anything on this board since August 2007...(sm)

Does anyone who works for Medware care to share their opinion about the company in regards to steady work, flexible schedules, platform, benefits, etc.?  You can e-mail me if you wish.  TIA. 


I just filed 2007 taxes for gross income of $52,341.
NM
They offered me 9.5 cents a line in August of 2007
I don't think that is very low.
Is Dictaphone EXText compatible with Word 2007?

LOL, they still aren't compatible with Vista or Word 2007...

Use the Google box search for MTStars at page top. A few posts from 4/2007 come up.
.
They started looking in 2007. No promises. Now it is a reality and yes, they are paying half. sm
They always come through. Why do you tell lies on here? They are the best out there and those of us that are there and have been a while know that.
Cbay systems layed off 32 employees via conference call on 12/21/2007
Anyone here affected by this?  I am so sick over this.

I doubt you will make enough money in 5 hours a week to make
nm
I make 4 cents a line, work part and make
over $500 a week on part.
Great post! I make 0.085 at Keystrokes and make more than at any sm
other company in the last 5 years. Why? Because there is always work for me. I love starting work each day, knowing that the company I work for appreciates me and has plenty of work. Transtech and Keystrokes sound very similar; those of us that work for either can count our blessings that we are not part of the cesspool or huge corporate mess that makes up the biggest few companies. We do not have to worry about our jobs getting sent overseas and we see a future in this business!!!
Yeah, but we don't make what docs make. nm
nm
But we don't even make what in-house make.
It would be different if we made the same as the in-house MTs.  In a lot of cases, most of the people working in-house make much more including benefits than we do at home as full-time employees.  That's where I think the unfairness comes in.  The in-house employees don't all work every single weekend.  Most of them rotate at a much higher salary and much better benefits.  The MTs at home are expected to fill in for the in-house for less money, less benefits and give more and more back in the form of weekends and holidays.   Most remote MTs only receive benefits contingent on production, and even then they're not nearly as good as in-house benefits.  How is that equal in the healthcare team perspective?
you might want to make sure you don't make yourself look like an IDOT before you go any further.
/
I make $1.10 per report and make much more sm
than by the line. Day by day it varies and goes back and forth, but over a long period, it is better by the report. Make sure they pay links though; this is key.
Do Shapin MTs really only make 6 cpl and QAs make 1.5 cpl?
/
Why can't you make money with all OPs? I do all OPs and make
good money.  I'm not with WebMedX though. 
I'm happy with what I make. I still make more than if I went anywhere else and hardly noone in th
biz gives raises so I feel blessed that I make a lot more than most, raise or no raise.
And always make sure you don't make line
counts that amount to anything.  They always place you with impossible ESLs as soon as you start making decent money. 
I make more than that with Spheris but never have work. I would rather make $1.25 and have work. s
My SIL works for KS, and she gets paid double for linked reports too. Where do you get $2.25? I am ready to leave Spheris.
Make sure you have some (sm)

money saved up so when they don't bother to send your paycheck or give you excuses, run out of work constantly or take a long time setting you up, you won't go bankrupt.


 


Okay, those using DQS, how do you do it? How do you make (sm)
your line count?  How do you everything???  Is Instant Text V Pro anything like Smartype where you key in a few letters and the list comes up?  I'm so stressed from trying to learn this program.  Any, and I mean any, positive pointers you can share would so oh so appreciated!!!  Please help!
Did you make more as an MT or are you
nm
make, not may nt
 
Well you would still make more if
you typed 15,000 instead of 11,000.
I make even less than that for IC . Nm : (
x
PS - I make top $$
well over 0.10/line on one a/c. Nobody does 20-25 reports/hr on this 100+ MD a/c.
Why not? Do you think they are just trying to make themselves look better on the
to all the outsourcing talk? It's okay now since they got a bonus?

None of what they make you go SM
through is really worth the job you end up with.  It's a very average place, with average work, average pay.  You can do the same elsewhere without the hassle.
How much do you make (FT or PT)? (sm)

and how are you paid?


see and I say take the IC, just make sure
you have a professional prepare your taxes and find a CPA who is up on at home business laws. I have been an IC for nine years. I get to write off a portion of my mortgage payment, utilities, etc. It works for me.
Me too. I make over $20 but you have to
get in with the right company. Do not let companies undermine QA by accepting positions that lessen our very purpose!

I will not say my company name because needless to say they do not get openings very often and yes they pay hourly.
I make 9.5 cpl as an IC with 27 Y sm
experience. I just started with them.
How is it you don't know what you make?
:+
I know what I make...
I'm just not posting it here.
