Font size has nothing to do with it, it is

SORRY ABOUT THAT LAST POST!! THE I USED FONT RAN SOME WORDS
together, and it's a little hard to read!

take font size into account too nm

Font size should not matter...sm
65 characters per line, if a line is calibrated that way, is 65 characters per line.
Change your font, gave me a headache

Can we change the font size without changing
the appearance of the document font/size when it goes to the client. This is a Word-based program, and I know QA has asked me not to send with View size changed, so it must stay at 150% (or whatever size) when you change it in the document. Thanks for your help.
Work night shift and eyes are tired by the end of the day.
LOL ... I loved switching those little font balls too. sm
I was in Heaven when we got the correcting Selectric -- no more white out, which of course is a major faux pas nowadays. I still have my old IBM Wheelwriter in the closet -- first typewriter with memory that I used and could store reports. I thought I had reached the technological edge then. (smile)
Thanks for making me smile. Although I love my PC, it is kind of fun sometimes to look back and see how far we have come. 
AND YOU'RE THE SELF-APPOINTED FONT EDITOR HERE?..nm
Larger squeeze. .
Since medical care is 24% of our gross domestic product (1.9 trillion)and electronic charts has been made law, a small MTSO could not pay for a VR machine or an $80,000 dictation retrieval system. Smaller is better, but bottom line always speaks. 1000 lines a day is achievable working in one hospital, familiarity, normals. Unfortunately that standard carried over to MTSOs, with MTs transcribing eight accounts at the same time. No money!! Pay for your own computer, $$high-speed internet and/or phone line. Unachievable benefits based on production. What a deal!
What better/larger companies?
I have noticed that all of the better/larger companies that everyone talks about are all going offshore. Spheris is already there and so is MQ. We need to stick together on keeping our MTSOs HOME where they belong!!! If they want to send work offshore, let those MTs from there transcribe their own medical reports!!!!!!!!!
I would imagine all the larger ones do, whether

...and Easter. Wonder if any of the larger ones do this? nm

Larger companies are doing this...........
I have become very angry when my husband has told me this is happening, as I too believe it is nothing more than age discrimination, BUT on the other hand, there are younger employees who have major medical situations and any company's insurance could be greatly affected by this.
Most of this is practiced by companies who pay high range salaries. I believe they are checking to make sure if they put that kind of money into an employee, that employee will be around for the long haul so to speak and not out sick all the time....
Either way, if all the hooplah about discrimination against handicapped, gender, etc. is out there, why would this even be legal. It obviously is legal but I really don't understand why it hasn't been brought up in an age discrimination case myself. The employer can always just say that candidate didn't fit the bill and it had nothing to do with their health but of course, companies used to say the same thing about race and sex, so who knows!!
Can I make the font smaller on this board? Some text is being cut off because it's too big on

I think it was to control some font size change issues
At least I think I read something about it on the internal company forum. It wasn't affecting my accounts, so I didn't pay much attention, but some people on some accounts were having to reset their font size over and over and the update was supposed to correct that.
There is a new, larger account coming on in Dec. (sm)
I would imagine they are hiring in anticipation of that. Work flows vary anywhere, but these people go out of their way to try and keep us all in work on a steady basis. Benefits good, you are treated well by management, pay on time, accounts pretty good, platform is such that you can actually make money.
Ups and downs are the name of the game, but I would highly suggest you at least talk to them. Hiring on with them was one of the best things I ever did for myself. I will ride the waves of feast and famine gladly with this company.
Font size matters for gross line, so do margins
less lines because more fits on a line. First person asked how a gross line compares to 65 chars. If it's 12 font with 1 margins, it's about 1-1/2 to 2x 65 char line count, i.e., 7 cents per gross line would be around 8.5 to 9 cents per 65 char.
Opinion: Small company vs. larger one?
Just looking for opinions on the positive side and/or negative side of a small company vs. a larger one. Help me out here....please!
The larger companies are squeezing out the smaller ones, so they
probably do have 3 new hospitals starting. I have been letting my accounts fade out naturally, not renewing them when contracts come due, not replacing people that quit, etc. I am down to 3 of us, and will be looking to work for a national soon. No more headaches, no more worries about keeping hospitals happy, no more worrying about the financial well-being of my employees. I am done kaput. Finished as an MTSO.
Who do you think will still be around? I am looking at Medware, Execuscribe, Keystrokes, SilentType, Cymed and MDI-MD. Any others? Do you think these will be around and survive? I lost two accounts to Keystrokes and one to Silent Type. Neither was cheaper but the hospitals all felt they were bigger so better. What's up with that?
Correction: They owned the other one and built this which one which is much larger. sm
I just read this in one of the magazines and asked my lead if they were moving far. She said it is literally across the parking lot from a small office to a huge building, taking on the whole building. I am thrilled to be part of a growing company instead of the sinking ship I was on!!!
I'd be afraid to jump from a larger company to a
Sometimes these smaller companies seem great, but then the contracts run out and they lose accounts. Also, the smaller companies do not offer as many benefits. Don't feel left out. All of these people going to Keystrokes could be in for a rude awakening and then have to go back to MQ. JMO.
I think they are making a much larger profit on the backs of MTs...
Think about it. Do you think it is costing the clients any less for their transcription. How would they even know it was VR? If the MTSO charges the same, they are making more money (half of what they used to pay the MT).
The requirement is 50% participation. It is actually harder for a larger company sm
than a small company if they are national to get good rates. Once in, they will have it easy after that. I dealt with it personally for another company and it was a nightmare. Insurance is crazy and once national, it is harder to get the insurance. They should have gone with BC/BS when smaller but chose Unicare for some reason. Now they are regretting it.
Most larger companies do not close for holidays, this is a 24 houra day/365 day a year job. (nm)

This hospital started in July after WX lost another, larger acct.
Currently, the acct is always out of work. Perhaps they will be sending more work WX's way now.
