Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other bookstores also have it, too. It was a good book with plenty of hints on using expanders.

Saving Keystrokes by Diana Rolland.
I think that's what she titled the newest version of her book. I got mine from Half.com. I went from 6% to 34% on my expander stats since I read the book, and I still add more expansions every day.
I read the book "Saving Keystrokes" but it still didn't help.
You can't make many shortcuts and remember them all if you don't get the same dictators saying the same thing day after day.
Oh, yeah. I had this guy about a month ago. What was that shortcut for his physical exam?
I disagree. I think the site was sold to Sheri and she was screwd
deleted because the new guy doesn't want people to think maybe she's right and he isn't. I still think if Sheri put her phone number on her site then maybe she's telling the truth.
Not a site, but Stedman's Ophthalmology Words is a keeper! :) nm

The Latest Word was a waste. Stedman's might have monthly updates on their site, not sure. nm
s
Gotta get the Stedman's Ortho & Rehab Words. Wheeless encylopedia is a good site to book
s
Yup, same as Diana ... if the work dictates (sm)
I work until it's done even if it's weekends. Technically I don't "have" to since my contracts state M-F but I don't mind the weekends if I don't have huge plans and there's a lot of work to be done.
The Outlander series by Diana Galbadon ~ sm
Read the first one ~ Outlander ~ 4 times and the rest of them twice, except the last one, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, but I am sure I will reread it before the last in the series comes out.
Awesome books! 
Congratulations! Diana O. of W. Virginia on winning the third dinner!
Send an email to admin@mtstars.com with your full address and your choice of dinner gift card and we will ship it out to you immediately!
Stedman's Med Dictionary and Stedman's Med Spell checker are two different programs. Which on
do you have? If it is the medical dictionary, as far as I know it is only a reference software and can't be used as a spell checker.
If you have the spell checker, go into Word. Click on Tools, Options, and then Spelling & Grammar tab. Then click on the Custom Dictionaries button about half way down the window. This will open a new window that lists your available dictionaries and one should be checked. Mine is checked next CUSTOM.DIC (DEFAULT). There is an ADD button to the right. If you click it, you will be able to browse for your custom dictionary.
Hope that helps.
I have only used Stedman's. What are some differences in Dorland's and Stedman's?

I think MQ will be/or is sold too
 I think it for several reasons
like the person above says......it's an albatross
I never thought MQ/phillips would keep it in the first place - it has outlived it's usefullness which was to get their hands into hospitals on a personal basis - they want to do billing and they want to sell them VOICE RECOGNITION SYSTEMS...they don't want to do transcription...no person in their right mind would...it's labor intensive and a pain in the butt.
Frank doesn't know anything about MTing - he knows elevators .....and how to dismantle companies.
So all in all, I'm totally shocked it isn't sold yet.
Plus I see accounts leaving MQ offices and nobody saying anything like - we need more accounts.
They say they want to be "leaders in the MT field" but never come up with a plan.
The only people getting "good benes" are "employees" in the offices, yet are closing down offices. And when they finally do close down completely they will have very few people to pay unemployement to because they have squeezed us all into SE status.
Well, that's my answer.
I think you sold me
I have a gift card for Sephora (from Christmas) and was thinking of trying some. I use prescriptives, which is OK, best I have found so far, but I think I may try the Bare MInerals, especially with summer coming up.
Work is sloooooow today so I think I may just go place my order. Might as well do something fun on my downtime. So far I have mopped the kitchen and vacuumed while waiting for work.  Time to shop!
So what if it is. He said he sold it (sm)
who to trust is a big mystery, he said, she said. She seems to have deceived us all. It doesn't matter to me anymore. Everyone needs to get along and move forward. Things change. Yesterday is old news. Today is a new day, hope everyone enjoys it.
Spain sold to the U.S? ever
Guadalupe Hidalgo and U.S.land grabs?
If your assertions are correct about new immigrants not serving this country in the last 25-30 years why don't you respond to the post above about the disproportionate number of hispanics dying in Iraq?
I've read your posts before and you just don't seem to like anybody who isn't just like you....Hispanics, African-Americans and you tell Native Americans to "get over it"...but I'm the ignorant one,huh? So I doubt it would matter if we all spoke perfect English.
Has anyone ever sold jewelry?
I want to sell a DeBeers' diamond that will get me out of a tight financial bind. However, an ad in the the newspaper made me think of how easy it would be to knock my over and steal my ring. The jewelry stores said that it would sit on their shelf possibly for a few months. My dog is requiring emergency vet care and it is going to total much money. I know the pawn shop is a possibility. Any ideas? I hate this idea because I know I will not get what it is worth but it is the one thing I have that would bring me hard cold cash. Thanks!
Have you sold your soul yet to them? nm
:
you may have been sold that policy
it doesn't mean you could have collected on it.
membership sold
Yes, AAMT does sell membership list with your info -- I asked. Is one of their main sources of revenue. Then I asked to be removed from the list they sell and the calls became less frequent. Then I didn't renew.... ha.
First co went broke, so went to second, which sold
xxxx
I succumbed, then sold it
Been MTing for a very long time. I've learned that every employer has their own idea of what's right and what's wrong. At the same time, even if they demand going by the BOS, their intepretation of the BOS is what's right and what's wrong. Not everyone, even within one company, agrees about how things are done. Period. So, I got some money out of the book (after never opening it, even once), and I listen to the dictates of the boss, because that's what's "right". It changes with each job. I learn during the probation period what all those things are. Don't need it after that.
It will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe it will get sold
.
My neighbor across the street did that...sold
I was dying to ask her how much she got for her house but didn't want to be too nosy, so I didn't. She was pregnant with twins and near the end of her pregnancy and not able to work full time anymore, and her husband had lost a good job and was working at a lower paying job to just try to get by, and the house only had 2 bedrooms and they already had a son and were having twin girls, and she didn't say but I think they were having trouble paying their mortgage.
Anyway, although I don't know if they got a fair price for their house I know the whole transaction was very fast and easy. She told me that THEY were allowed to set the date that the house changed hands; it was totally up to them. The whole thing was done in a just a couple of weeks, because they wanted to move and get settled into a place (they rented a duplex) with more bedrooms before the twins were born.
She told me that part of the reason they sold it like that was that the house needed some work done to it before they tried to sell it, and they just didn't have the time or the money to do it.
But, I have to say the company that bought it didn't do anything either. She told me they told her they were going to go in and do work to it and then rent or sell it. Well they didn't do a thing that I saw - no one was ever there working on it. They put a sign in the yard that it was for sale or rent and within a couple of weeks someone bought it.
Sold your info to who and put it on internet why?
Most of your info is public domain anyway.
This is the only way my husband and I have sold our homes. sm
And it was very easy despite what naysayers may thik or say. My husband is very knowledgable with real estate law, so that helps us a great deal. He has all the forms you need on our computer, etc. He can communicate well with others, etc. He asks for earnest money and he does ask if they have already been pre-approved or if their house if for sale, etc.
Since I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, I can go anytime and show any one of our homes for sale.
You can definitely do it yourself. Don't be afraid and don't let others intimidate you. My parents "lost" 30,000 in real estate fees in Alaska. Basically, they went to an agent who put their house up for sale. The agent never showed up to the open house, my mom had about 15 people come and look that afternoon and she had no idea what to do. One of the guys who attended was an officer in the military who wanted a contract signed THAT DAY. My parents state that the only good thing her real estate guy did was provide an office for the paperwork to be signed. There was a high demand in her neighborhood at the time (about 3 years ago).
I've sold my eggs...
well, my chicken's eggs really. Although now that I rethink that, perhaps selling various pieces parts would pay a few more bills....hmmm....
Seasonal things make good spare cash too like an honor-system veggie table parked at the end of the driveway and homemade wreaths and x-mas centerpieces made from local greenery.
Oh the possibilities are endless if you posess a certain moral flexibility! I've been thinking of rigging up a pay-per-view "boobie cam" pointed my way to make some extra cash while I type away. "PayPal Accepted!"
Yes, but that's been for a while now. AAMT sold us up the river.
I knew they sold us up the river, but
I didn't think (well hoped) they didn't have the you know what to totall and completely sell us out by letting them test before the US MTs were even eligible. That is just WRONG!
I sold out once to a company that offshored
Still dealing with the ID theft issues. They repeatedly broke into my computer. This was a US company that used offshore MTs, and I am telling you what, it has been a nightmare. I will never work with anyone who will consider offshoring nor will I ever let anyone install a platform on my computer system again. Tsk, Tsk? Say that when you spend a few days on the phone with all of your financial institutions and 6 months later having to scan every piece of info on your credit report. Not every one is shady but think about what you open yourself up to.
No, taken back by THE owner, then sold.
Built by the guy in Pakistan and run in Sherri's name. IMO the only reason she doesn't have her site up is that SHE doesn't know how. She sat back and had this guy do the work (offshoring) and collected money. Now she's scrambling to find someone to build her site over there.
The adaptor is sold on ebay and
through their website at www.tvps.com. Cost around $22 shipped from ebay. It works good, but the prongs are a slightly loose fit in the plug; I'm not sure if that's a problem with the adaptor or the plug itself. Nonetheless, I'm able to use my better quality headphones. I believe the company that sells these also offers a 60 day warranty on the item when it's purchased. :)
So you sold your soul for a severance wad?
Re: the letter - the paper wants to know if what you've written them is on the up and up. A reputable rag checks it sources for accuracy and truth. If they print the story, you can ask not to have your name or company printed (though I doubt they'd do it anyway) but unless they have real facts, real names, and real experiences, they're not necessarily going to believe that what you tell them is true. There is always SOME risk when you want to make changes, but in this case I think it's almost nil. Still, refusing to accept the risks associated with change often means a person is willing to SETTLE for the status-quo.
the other poster is correct you sold sm
your sold for a wad! Sounds like you are trying to live on both sides of the fence! you have no credibility here and probably will never have any credibility with MTs again. Take your gripe elsewhere!
I mean the post below regarding MQ being sold. I have tried to attach link.
I'm gonna speculate and guess that MQ has been sold. ???
you a package is coming unless it is a legal maneuver?
They never cared before that we understand anything about their company and if Philips has truly written off $438 million or something like that this year for MQ, why would they keep it?
I have a question for the poster whose son sold a Twinkie :)
and then ate the other one.
What is he doing now? I'm figure he's either a lawyer or in sales.
Thanks for the laugh. I just thought that was so funny.
I haven't sold much on E-bay, but I'm selling lots of
things on my local Craigslist and you don't have to worry about shipping or paying a commission. I have some things that just aren't selling, but I relist about once a week and out of 5 items maybe 1 will sell. I'm hoping to cut back my hours next month and start listing more things. I have one room full of stuff, probably only 2% of stuff I even want to keep. I figure I can declutter and make some $$ at the same time. I'm no where near making enough to consider quitting, but every little bit I make goes towards debt.
At one time, I was an MTSO, but sold & retired from
MT last year. I do, however, still own, operate, and offer MTStars to American MTs.
Several companies still train on site. In fact, we are piloting an on-site training sm
program, where everyone would come in to the Keystrokes office to train for 1 or 2 weeks. We have a large training room and feel that this may be a way to cover all aspects of an account, be right there to answer questions as they come up and have one-on-one contact.
It will be optional at this point and may not be more effective as remote training, but some people have expressed that they miss the training that you get when you start at a hospital.
We are trying to bridge that gap between working in-house somewhere and working at home.
It may seem out-dated in many ways, but sometimes going back to basics is a good step to take!
Yes, you sure do! We have sold since 1998, I believe. I'll never forget my first negative.
I sold a collectible PEZ angel dispenser. It sold for like $200. I had a hard photo, as in like a photo we developed from Kodak. My husband and I were SO excited, we nearly fainted. We took the thing to a professional packer, can you imagine? Back then, nobody sent packages - know what I mean? Maybe only sweet grandmas and mothers with kids at college! So, we paid nearly $20 to have this professionally packed, shipped it insured for $300, etc. Well, the buyer got it and claimed it was smashed to pieces. UPS investigated, and they are REALLY fair about this stuff - the box was unblemished - perfect condition. Because a UPS rep had packed it, it was packed to perfection and their specs, so they refused to give the guy a refund, and told us that he was a scammer. Back then in the early years of E-Bay, scammers would buy collectibles, get them shipped, and then return a broken/damaged one they had laying around already. Bait and switch! And many buyers got bullied into giving them their $$ back. So this guy went NUTS on us, demanding the $200, which was long gone for groceries! Plus he was lying, and UPS said so!! Well, he left me the most scathing negative. My very first feedback! I cried and cried and cried. Wrote to E-Bay, wrote to the President, wrote to my mother - nobody cared back then and feedback was NEVER removed no matter what. I'll never get over that first negative. Now its a scam - if you get a negative, you basically go to that company that E-Bay owns - not safe harbor - something else - the name escapes me, but they even "guarantee" some sellers. Anyhow, you go to them and basically pay $10 to $20 and your negative gets miraculously "removed"...So, even feedback really isn't reflective of the truth anymore...My husband still sells, but my heart just isn't in it anymore. He uses the $$ he makes for buying more junk to sell! It keeps him amused and out of trouble, and he's happy if he has $20 in his pocket (not much $$ in the MT world anymore!)....
Unless you have DEFINITIVE proof that MQ has sold, DO NOT post innuendos here.
All posts referencing a so called MQ sale have been removed. Posters should be above pettiness by posting rumor. FACTS speak volumes.

I hope they sold it quick! What an ungrateful brat - nm

POST OFFICE EMPLOYEES INFORMATION SOLD?
It seems the postal service is selling employee information including information to access the employee's health records? The article stated that they did it because they "needed revenue." I can't believe I saw this.

I thought Dr. Ahmed sold it or gave up control, too.

Shorthand and Speedtype are the exact same program, just sold
under different brand names. ShortHand does have a trial version.
Found an old couple who were moving. Sold us 4 cords of wood for

The majority of pcs being sold at present are labeled as "Vista Ready." This is
your best bet. Most MT companies will not make Vista a requirement for at least a few years.
Keystrokes. sm
I know that they have gotten beat up on here lately and had good posts too, but I think that each company is different for each person. I have found a permament place, as long as they stay this way or improve. I am treated fairly, paid well and on time. I am left alone as long as I do what I commit to. This is a perfect situation for me, but to each his own.
Try Keystrokes
They may have radiology positions open.
