It depends on font size, line length, margin size, etc.
There are too many variables.
Format, Font, Choose Font, Style Size & Color
.
Make sure you find out what font and font size
.
Ask what font, font size and margins are
Then you can figure out how many characters would be in a complete line of text. I am not sure if I am explaining this very well. :-( I worked for one place that had a small font size and small margins. So it did not work out for me as each line averaged closer to 70 characters, and there were not many lines that had only one or two words on them because of the set up.

When paid by cpl, does it affect your line count if you type in a size 10 or size 12 font?
Font size
I have an account and they did not indicate a font size - I know that it makes a big difference the more that you have bolded in a report - what would be a reasonable font size or the standard font size to use?
Font size
I have read with interest the thread on font size. Now I know why one company allows you to transcribe in one font and then it gets printed in another - which is much smaller - which does make it harder to get your lines. I thought that it was me - but could not understand until I saw what was getting printed and counted, as to why it was so difficult to get a good line count when I had always done so in the past. Is this not in some way misrepresentation? You see what looks like a nice report and then when it gets printed it is so small that you can hardly read it - this also messes with the end of your lines and sentences - where if you make a hard page break on what is on your computer screen it comes up as something different on the copied version on the other side. All of the info offered was good and this is a good point to make when looking at work - especially if you are new and do not know anything different. 
font size
If you are counting by dividing characters by 65 characters, no matter what font you use it will be the same. However if you count by gross line -- line charge no matter how many words on a line you will lose money. But if it is by by every 65 characgers (including spaces) you could use an 8, 9 or 12 font and the charge will all be the same.
font size
Every place I've ever worked or worked for has a default font. You can have text on your screen set at newspaper headline size (like my MT friend who has macular degeneration) and it'll usually default to their 11- or 12-pt font. I'm sure every hospital or MTSO's software specs are different, though.
font size
I think you just go under view and change the text size to whatever you want it to be.
what is your font size set at??
The zoom feature will not affect the size of the printing font, but the font size will. Make sure it is at least 12.
Font size
When I highlight the text it is in the font size I want, but when I insert the autotext it makes the font smaller.
Sorry. Got cut off. Nothing I do can increase the font size.

Font size! I never knew.
What an eye opener. I did not realize this was happening. Thanks for the info to all who submitted to the font thread.
The font is the size of the type, has nothing
to do with the character line count.
Autotext - font size
Hmm, I don't know. Let me play around with it, and I will get back with you. I have never had that problem. When you highlight your text, is it in the font you are wanting, or is it changing from that to a smaller font? Strange. 
HIPAA laws have nothing to do with font size.
Some in your office don't have a clue, evidently.
A summary of the HIPAA law is posted at the HHS website.
http://www.cms.hhs.gov/HIPAAGenInfo/02_TheHIPAALawandMore.asp#TopOfPage
Or you can go to HIPAA.org.
You have to be working in the default font and size of the
document template to keep autotext from changing. IOW, when you open a document and change the font or size before you start typing, you are not working in the default of the template the document is based on.
The font size could stand to be a tad bigger here for us w/old eyes! Thx. nm

Does anyone have to use size 10 font? Does it take you longer to make your lines? nm

Definitely a common font size. Ask if increasing the zoom on your end

Do y'all think the size of the font matters in line counts?
If your font is smaller takes more characters to make a line? I just wondered this today.
Increasing the zoom view does not increase the font size.

Gross line was 7, not 8. Depending on font size and margins
7 cpl is about 8.5 cpl.
I have IE set to display text size as largest, yet this font is so tiny I can barely see it.

I've been seeing a lot on this board about fonts and font size affecting line counts and I was...
wondering how this is possible? I mean if your lines are based on a 65 character line then what difference does the font type or size make? I mean, a character is a character whether it's type in Arial, Times New Roman, or Courier.
I use MP Count to count my lines and I decided to do a little test. I typed a document and saved in Arial 10 and 12 font type and size, Times New Roman 10 and 12 font type and size, and Courier 10 and 12 font type and size. And then I ran a line report on each individual document counting lines by 65 characters per line strict (no spaces) and came up with 24 lines each time in each font type and size.
There was an MT below who was saying she types in Arial for her client, but bills them for Courier like it made a difference in the lines. Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't see how it makes any difference at all.
I agree check with your facility. Enlarging the font size can cause problems once a report uploads
I wrote a macro that would take the font size back down to 100% once I was finished and ready to sign off. I think I assigned to something like CNTRL+ALT+F and I got into a habit of doing that before hitting whatever function keys to spell check and sign off. It worked great.
Format, Font, pick the font you want,
click the Default button. It will ask if you want to change...say yes.
Now how are you going to get that size 12 out of

Trying It On For Size...
I've been transcribing for nearly 10 years, so I'm no longer considered a *newbie,* but there are still a few things I don't know about, so I'm hitting this board to see if anyone can offer up some advice...
Does anyone out there work for more than one company as an independent contractor?
I already hold one IC position and I am considering taking on a couple of more. I have to commit to a certain amount of lines for each, but no set schedule. They all are paying the same primo-rate with no incentive scale, so it doesn't pay extra to put all my lines in with one company.
You might ask, *Why don't you just increase how much you are working with your first company?* Well, my answer is that I don't like having a primary and then having my backup account constantly changing in order to provide me with work. I am thinking that it would work better to work for a couple of different places, each giving me just one primary account (and yes, there are still companies who do that!), and then just sign off of one and onto another when the first one runs out of work...
In my mind, this works out beautifully, but since I have never done it before, I'm hoping to get some pointers for those of you who have.
I had no idea there was such a size either.LOL
Just out of curiosity, does anybody know how far into the alphabet the breast size goes?
I have a 7 y.o. boy who wears that same size.
He has a 16" and it's a bit small for him. I'd get the 20" so your sponsor boy can grow into it. They can always put the seat way down low if he doesn't already know how to ride without training wheels. Better to be able to grow into it than have to replace it 6 months later.
Does that help shrink it's overall size as well?

What size is your monitor?
Just wondering what everyone uses. I use a 17 inch but would like a 19 or 21. I like mine big, but my mom who is also an MT says when the monitor is too big it slows down her production because her eyes have to travel further back and forth to read what she is typing. LOL Everyone is different. I've seen these huge monitors at the computer stores lately, widescreen, like 30 inches, and they look pretty cool. So...what size monitor does everyone use or would like to use? Thanks!
Hospital bed size HELP!
Is there somewhere to find out hospital sizes. I am applying for a new job and need to know the sizes of the hospital I have typed for. I am not aware of where I can find this information. Is there a site or database somewhere. Thanks!
It could be the size of your file.
If I understand you correctly, you have one word document that contains 50 (patient) files? That alone could be the problem, although your hard drive may also be getting full and slowing things down. Check the properties of your hard drive; do a disk cleanup if it appears to be full. Another option may be to reduce the size of your document, maybe splitting it by DOS or patient name.
screen size
Does anyone know how to change the size of your screen size so the text will larger. I saw this a couple weeks ago on how to do it and forget to write it down. I know it was either alt or control and some other key.
Thanks!!
Size of monitor
What size of monitor are you using??? I am seriously considering buying a new one and would appreciate input as to what people have, including brand suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
size does matter!
Is this fact or opinion? INC. is usually a larger business. The reason for that is because INC. means they can be a public company, have shareholders or venture capital, while an LLC is usually a small or one-owner business, an individual who wants to protect their personal assets from business concerns. You may see INC more often simply because of the size, giving them more public exposure, but doesn't mean they are outside of the US.
Size 10 obese...no way! I'd rather be
thought of as obese rather than looking older than my age. I would love to be size 10. Well, maybe if I get down to size 10, I'll look younger than my stated age. Thanks for posting! By the way, I have seen myself referred to as moderately obese in my medical records years ago, but that didn't bother me like the age thing. I know when I'm overweight, but I guess a person can't always tell if they look older than the are, unless someone else says so.
How do I change the size of ....sm
the font or whatever so that when I am looking at my report the print is bigger. It not only changes the print for just the reports but everything else too. I did this before on a different computer but I can't remember how I did it. Any ideas?
Font
only when using a method other than character count, such as gross lines or straight lines. Otherwise, size makes no difference (in transcription . . . LOL)
Font
Font has nothing to do with line count.
font changes
try selecting all text in the template, then while it is all highlighted change your font to what you want- then re-save template and that should do it
font changes
the easiest and surest way to make sure you are changing the entire template is to do go through edit and select all- this will pick up hidden formatting as well
That's true.. At 16 I ate anything and was a size 7, now at 45 I watch what I eat and am

Size of foot rest - sm
I got a large one - 17 x 20 - because I have two foot pedals to use (different platforms) and they both fit on it side by side. I can adjust it to slope up from the floor in front to about 3-4 inches (or more if I want) upwards. The top of the foot rest has a rubberized mat to keep the foot pedals in place, and the base of the foot rest is heavy to it doesn't move. The brand is Fellows, and I paid about $49.00 for it...and I think well worth it so far. If you Google foot rests, and look on Shopzilla, you'll find lots of them - different sizes and prices and styles. Hope this helps.
It's the quality, not the size that counts
