I have wordperfect 12 - sm
How the heck do I double space?? I have been through the whole tool bar and cannot find where I can double space. what I have found is how to space between paragraphs, which is not what I need. I need to double space my report.
please help me   I'm almost crying over this.
I have WordPerfect 11 and have no
problems with Vista. If yours is like mine, it came preloaded with Word 2007 as a trial basis. I just deleted 2007 and loaded my Word 2003 and have not had any problems. I don't know why WordPerfect 11 and 12 would be so different. Maybe you can go to the WordPerfect site and see if it says anything about Vista, or maybe even the Microsoft site.
WordPerfect
Wondering if anyone can help me figure this out. I am trying to put the patient's name flush left on the top of the page and CENTER the title on the same line. It keeps centering the name with the title...what am I missing?
WordPerfect X3
I just bought & installed WP X3. My office requires that all documents are password protected. As I save my documents, I can 'see' the password protect box, but the program does not allow me to check the box & give a password.
Is there something in X3 that I need to go to that will allow me to use passwords? I can't find it anywhere in the program & I've used Help, etc.
Thanks!
WordPerfect??
I am wondering how you put the places in your document that you can jump while typing dictation in WordPerfect? Can anyone help me?
Wordperfect 5.1 for Dos - does anyone use this anymore? sm
I' m not sure what board to put this one but . . . I have an computer with Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS on it that I've kept around "just in case." Are there any companies that actually use this program anymore or is it safe to say that I can get rid of it? TIA
Another WordPerfect question sm
I had to install WordPerfect 6.1 for a new client's work. I already have WordPerfect Suite 12 on my computer, but now WP 6.1 is apparently set up as the default WP program and any time I open a WP document from the Documents menu instead of with WP 12 running, it opens as a WP 6.1 document.
How do I re-set WP 12 as the default WP program?? I have a ton of personal documents in there (I don't currently use it for a client). I wouldn't mind so much, except that one document I use all the time, my telephone list, opens in WP 6.1 (instead of WP 12, where I originally created it) and then when I try to scroll down it says "insufficient memory" and the program closes. HELP!!!!
TIA.
WordPerfect for DOS or Windows?
Either way, you'd have to write a macro or something that would find the next instance of what your jump marker might be, and go there.
Help with WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows
Long story short, I do dictation at a hospital where we use WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows. I am going to be doing dictation at home and then pasting the file in WordPercfect at the hospital. I was looking for a way to convert files from MS Word into to WP, but wasn't successful in that so now I'm trying to find a copy of WP 6.1 and am not having any luck. Does someone know where I might could download this as I need it ASAP or can you use another version of WP with 6.1? Thanks in advance.
If it comes with WordPerfect, it doesn't come with MS Word.
Unless you pay extra and special order it. One or the other, not both.
Just had to switch from Word to WordPerfect. Could someone please tell me in the
mess that is Corel Office, where I find UNDERSTANDABLE directions for making macros for headings, etc??
WordPerfect numbered list help please!
Just starting to use WordPerfect, so unfamiliar with it. I can't get numbered list feature set properly. I can get it to number, think I have it set, and then when I save the document, close, and reopen, it has changed. Pulling my hair out here :) Any help is appreciated.
WordPerfect is 6.1 (I think) and Word is 2003

Any version of WordPerfect will be compatible. nm
Stedman's Spellchecker and WordPerfect
I have Microsoft Word and I have Stedman's Spellchecker on it, but I now also have WordPerfect and am wondering how I get it to pick up the spellchecker? Anyone know? Thanks!
Wordperfect instruction sites that are easy
I figured out how to assign shortcut keys to macros in Wordperfect and I found a bunch of other useful instructions for WP at these two sites:

In WordPerfect, could someone please tell me how to make a line break
so it keeps the justification? Ctl+shift+L just moves down another line and does not justify. Thank You.
How to copy macros from WordPerfect to Word
Does anyone know how to do this? Would save so much time, as we have tons. Thanks for any ideas!
Depends on the versions of Word and WordPerfect. sm
Some WP versions can read Word .doc files, some don't. Some versions of WP will not accept copy/paste from Word. The advice to save the Word document as an .rtf file may be your only choice.
Need help ASAP - websites that are similar to WordPerfect for dummies.
Went from working soley in Word for last 8 years to WordPerfect 8. Last time I worked in WP it was dos. I need quick tips, time savers, keyboard commands, that sort of thing. Need to get my speed up. Thanks.
Assign shortcut keys to macro Wordperfect?
I have to switch to Wordperfect after working in MS Word for 7 years. I have figured out how to record a macro, but how do you assign a shortcut key to it?
What I am wanting to do is jump to the next * in my reports because that is how I move from heading to heading.
The help section in WP just confused me
Any help is wonderful
Thanks

I've been Googling it and there is some info about going from WordPerfect to Word, but I can't find anything about importing them from Word to WordPerfect.
I just got really screwy account where we have to transcribe the reports in WordPerfect to get the line count, then save them in Word to send to the client.

married at 18....wouldn't change a thing even if I could go back in time. Our marriage grows stronger each year...
Hold up a sec.
You dictate your own VR as an IC? I don't think that's what the original poster was asking about. I think what the OP was talking about was a company that has VR and only pays 55% to 70% of regular line rate. Most companies' platforms aren't technically enabled to allow the MT to redictate the VR. In fact I've never heard of that before.
If you make money doing VR you're way, more power to ya. But I don't think that's what the OP was talking about.
Hold out for more.....7 cpl is way too low...sm
I just had the same experience, was offered that amount by one company. I held out and got something part time with a good company at 9 cpl on weekdays and 10 cpl on weekends.
Hold on........think about this. sm
First, you need to make up a pay rate to compensate you for your hard work. Re-negotiate your contract if you have one. If you do not have one, I suggest getting one.
You need to set your pay date/pay period in writing and the ramifications to the client if pay is late. Either charge 15% as a late fee, etc.
Next, you can either charge piecemeal for STAT work, faxes, etc or you can include everything in one line rate. That is up to you.
After everything is in writing, have the client/doctor/office manage, whoever it may be, meet with you and go over all of the details. If they agree, than continue on doing the acocunt. If they do not agree, and it is a well-paying account, when you get paid, try to work a few things out. If all fails, then move on.
But, don't just get frustrated and let the account go. The office just may not be aware of all the extra things you are doing and may think it is included in your line rate.
You need to either spell it out to them in writing or just raise your line rate to include everything.
Believe me, in my younger years, I was where you are now. On looking back, I would have done some things differently. Now, I can say I know things from experience that you can not learn in a textbook or college classroom.
Good luck to you.
I'd put it on hold it too. You are being
very smart right now. Hang tight. If it goes well-WONDERFUL. If it turns bad, you won't have to kick yourself in the a$$ because of buying a new house.
okay hold on I think we are...
talking about two different certifications!
I mean certification as in going to school. I mean we should have to have a CERTIFICATE from a school saying that we took the courses and have passed. To heck with AAMT, I've heard plenty about them promoting overseas transcription!
I just mean that there needs to be a standard for MTs. That way it isn't so easy to get into the profession. Besides outsourcing overseas, our next biggest problem is that there are people who are getting MT positions just by the luck of passing a test or are taking jobs at 4-5 cpl which is why someone like me who has spent a year going to an actual college, actually going to campus each night, now has to start off at 6 cpl. That type of pay is ridiculous for a professional. I can make more working at Burger King.
That's why I was saying that for those that are already proven MTs who have experience there should be some type of quick certification for them. Maybe a test, or three verifiable references that they have been MTs for such a time, or something. I don't know.
But that is what I meant by certification. CMT/RMT has just become a way for AAMT to make money off of us. There needs to be a mandatory, BY LAW requirement to be an MT. Just like a doctor absolutely has to go to and graduate from med school or a police officer has to graduate from the police academy, etc.
i would hold
off until about 3 (her time). then you could call her or if you have her email address just send her an email and just say you were wondering if they had made a decision yet. I would not worry about the ad being gone.
May want to hold off on cashing it
One of the attorneys handling the lawsuit or an associate of, suggested I hold off on cashing the check that came to me from MQ. This is the one that came with a letter saying basically the reason they robbed us of so much money over time was a system error. Yeah, right. The attorneys want to check into the true purpose of the checks. So listen to your gut on this one If this has already been said on the boards, sorry, I haven't read them lately.
To my goodness-You can hold your own
here! Hats off to you!
Capitalization will not hold!
I need to type VENTILATION PERFUSION SCAN as a heading. But when the capital letter lock key is on and I type in vps to bring up the three words in all caps, my IT changes it to small case.
Does anyone out there know how to make all caps remain all caps? I have auto capitalization check marked already.
Thanks soooo much if you can answer this!
Don't hold your breath

If I were you, I'd hold off on purchasing anything sm
until you find a position with a company as many (if not most) companies will supply you with the pedal and software. All you would need to do is plug the pedal into your computer. The companies usually will install the software for you via your phone line or will send you a CD, whatever.
USB is the type of "plug." It's small, about a quarter-inch wide and has a little design on it with a circle, an arrow that points to the plug, and a little square.
The other type of pedal outlet has the little pins inside. You will need to count the little pins to find out what kind you have.
Good luck to you!
Do they think you will hold reports for
lol
being delusional seems to hold
        
have a nice day and I will be sure to do an additional dance just for you when impeachment begins.......within the next year or two.
Want to hold my hand.
I agree, insulting a fellow MT is uncalled for, let alone a PS to imply this is unprofessional. I guess the word "brain" "dense" and "childish" are your words for the week! That makes what now, ? MTs you are wondering whether they have brains or not, are dense or childish. Oh, and please stop YELLING at people posting on this site. We are not children nor do we act like a child. Be kind as if we were your children, because you obviously are not around adults often enough. Geez!!!!!!! PS: Congrats to making fantastic money. I'm sure you are very dedicated.
Hold the train, here!
You actually feel justified to stoop to this level of vile hatred against Tinks personally?
Not nice, not nice at all.
Hold on before you take that survey!
I have seen this lady before. I could swear when we first checked out her "pay me to take surveys" MLM scam site before she had previously worked at Bloomingdale's, but I do not recall that she had worked there for 20 years or had worked anywhere for 20 years. Seems to me she had references from several people she had supposedly worked with from several different places all swearing up and down what a wonderful and qualified employee she was (too much so, if you get my drift). I don't recall ANY of those said jobs being QA positions, more like sales or clerical. She seems to have had a lot of jobs for someone her age who worked for 1 company for 20+ years.
My point here is that this gal was operating a pyramid scheme just a couple months ago. Her original site was "Join here and pay $20 to take survey's about our MT business, and then refer people to me and you will get $5.00 per person who signs up under your name." I don't believe she is interested in any of this information being factual, she just wants to collect it (along with our personal data) so she can make money by selling it to God only knows whom, probably costing us our jobs or at the very least a whole lot of aggravation with e-mail boxes being filled with spam from other companies. Her only goal (in my opinion) is to make money in a marketing scheme. I guess she thinks the national MT companies are going to pay her for this data just because she collected it? She will claim its accuracy because she did a survey? I also find it odd that while she talks about QA this and QA that, it seems to me what she really means is quality control - and that is a big difference, odd she would not know the difference, isn't it?
Being a former Spheris employee myself, if she was as "all that" in the QA field, she should have started with them. I do wonder if she is still with them and, if not, then my guess is this is how she thinks she can make a living since, apparently, no other companies will have her?
One thing we all noted before, and it is rather apparent on her new site too, is that for someone who has been an MT for 3+ years and is supposedly as good as she claims herself to be, she sure makes a whole lot of errors.
I hold the pedal always. NM

I've always had to hold it down
And I've been transcribing since 1974. I think you'll get used to it pretty quickly. I once had to work with a machine where it wouldn't back up a word or two every time I stopped the dictation - It made me nuts at first, but I soon didn't even notice it.
Hold your head up. It will get better.
Going to Acute Care from clinic can be a headache, because you are getting more detailed dictations. Just take the QA feedback and learn from it. I have been doing this for 30+ years and my income have decreased from 48,000 in the early 90s to roughtly 30-35,000 in the late 2000s. You have a Degree, in my honest opinion, if I were you right now and at your age, I would definitely go into another field. Since you like health care, why not try a coding position. They make good money depending on the state in which you live, and some hospitals are allowing their coders to work from home too.
As an IC, your employer does NOT hold
out any taxes whatsoever, you are responsible for paying them. ALso, as an IC you set your own hours with a company. They do not set a schedule for you, you tell them when you can work, how long you will work, or how much dictation you can take, and transcribe that within a specified amount of time (my IC job requires all work from one day be sent in by 6 a.m. the next morning). No benefits from employer; i.e., no insurance, vacation, or holiday pay if not working, and even if working on holiday, do not necessarily get the "extra" pay a FT person probably does.
As an employee, your employer deducts your taxes and you work a set schedule and, if FT, are usually eligible for benefits.
and you can hold your head sm
high because you have been honest. This poster is more than disgusting and I can't even think of a word bad enough for it.
Please hang in there. I have been at the very very bottom with illness in the past and thought I would never dig my way out, but it can be done. I admire you!
Too low. I'd hold out for hourly anyway.

hold down your control key. While
doing this, you can make the font bigger or smaller with your mouse wheel. I found this out by accident. It changes back to the normal font after you change the report, but is so easy to do it is almost effortless.
At that time was trying to hold onto my job
and with the physician calling me at home, in a very intimidating manner, hostile, I just thought no way to keep my job there with his being the head of the plastic's department. When I took the evidence of the falsified record to the head of medical records, not once was I told to take it any further, no mention made of the different depts you named above, only told I could put in a note in the record stating I was saying the procedure not done. Oh, had I known at that time the steps I should have taken and I would have. When he would call he would always say Miss...., not from his office, from him personally from another hospital that was affiliated with the one where the surgery was done. I was not a MS Jones or Ms Smith but an unusual name and I know after all the months he waited to falsify the record, he knew exactly what he wanted to do.
Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.
