I bought mine as a download a few years ago. If you want to copy it to another puter, just send

Just copy the cd to your C drive
You cd software should have a copy mode. I copied mine from my CD to my C: drive. I put an icon for it down in my quick launch and it works great. I have icons for my Stedman's electronic dictionaries on the quick launch as well. Hope this helps.
Copy autocorrect from WP to Word...HELP! ...sm
Is it possible to copy the autocorrect in Word Perfect and put it into Word, on the same computer? Really didn't want to write everything down and re-enter, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, Debbie
Copy your autocorrect file before you upgrade. I did't do that, wish I had. nm

This is a very basic computer skill/concept. You copy files to another drive using Explorer.
There are very detailed instructions in the Help files that accompany Windows. You can read those for more information.
Basically, you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate the files you want to copy, highlight and right mouse click. Choose Copy. Now, find the location where you want to copy these files (usually another drive like D: or H:, whereever the flash/jump/thumb drive is located) and paste the files there.
That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.
Then you can paste it in a document.
It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.
It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.
How do you copy your SH file to text - do you copy each dictionary separately? nm

A jump drive is the same as a USB drive. SM
It's basically a small device you plug into a USB port on your PC and you can store files on it (like the floppy disks of the old days but with WAAAAAAY more space!). You can pick them up at Wal-Mart now for pretty cheap. I have a 2 gig and I can back up my entire hard drive on my PC (programs and all) if I needed to.
I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
Just turned on puter
and find all kinds of slander about the x-3. So if you are confident that I have been "bad mouthing" the company give me your facts. If I recall correctly I went off on you and apologized for it. You are the one in the end that said you needed time to lick your wounds. I have not bad mouthed the company to anyone!!!! and to quote someone whom I thought was an excellent friend "venting to friends is okay, that is what friends are for."
I am actively seeking employment, will continue to do so, and keep my opinions of the company to myself. If you feel I have done otherwise share the facts you have, give me a chance to defend myself.......
It tears me apart on a daily basis that we have no friendship........if you truly feel you cannot forgive me that is fine, but please don't bash me on a public board about things that are not true.
Thanks, is on my daughter's puter and will try...nm

He's using the puter to relax & de-stress, same as you. - nm
be a good little person and get off Mom's puter
 
Do you shut your puter down overnight?
Just curious how many shut completely down at the end of your work day or overnight? Why or why not?
trouble since hooking up 2nd puter
I set up a second computer in my home. I had a router hooked up for this purpose by my telephone technician. It is a brand new router, Lynxys brand. Since then I have had problems with staying connected to the Internet.
I shut off the firewall on my pc and that seems to have taken care of the problem on that computer. The second computer is from a MT co. that I am starting to work for. I cannot stay connected to the Internet on their computer. The phone tech was out and checked everything and the router and phone connection is fine.
I am at a loss since I am not an IT person but an MT. It is so frustrating.
Any ideas?
TIA
New puter with Vista - need Word!
Has anyone needed to buy Word 2003 on their new Vista computer to handle their client's documents? Is it compatible? I need to make a decision if I'm to use their "Works" program installed (will have to pay $300 at the end of the trial period) or just go ahead and buy Word 2003 and Excel on my own. Thanks for any 2c. I need to decide Today, so I can start transcribing again next week!! Happy Easter..
You should be able to find the folder on your puter sm
and open it in word or notepad and see everything there. Check out the Instant Text site for their forums, I am sure there is a blow-by-blow there for you to follow. I have never done it, so I am not 100% sure.
I would worry about them on any puter owned by a company

I have to buy a new puter and was told by employer NOT to get Vista.

Desktop or Laptop? Gotta buy a new puter...sm
Not sure whether I would like to buy another desktop or a laptop. My hubby has a laptop and the only way I can transcribe on his is if I use an adaptor to connect my ergonomic keyboard. I am wondering if the screen from the laptop would cramp my style. I am leaning more towards another desktop because I can use my hubby's when traveling, but then still question what brand. Anyone willing to give some suggestions as far as brand, specs, capabilities. I would rather hear from fellow MTs versus sales people in the store selling me things I really do not need. Thanks!!
That puter with a D is OK if you don't have to call (India) service n/m
New Ativa keyboard not being read by puter...anyone know why?
Or is a return trip to Office Depot in my near future...
Thanks!
Can you load the Stedman's speller onto the puter there? Can't imagine not having it! nm
s
You're using your puter to chit-chat here aren't you? Why can't you let him have some fun t
You'll have to ask your tech person if it's possible. Or set up another puter with a KVM switc
s
It should be fine. I was told the same thing about old versus new puter and nothing
s
FYI Blew motherboard. Need new puter. Was told not to get Vista as not compatible with work program

KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

How far is the new job to drive - sm
You need to consider many things.
Consider the expenses of driving further and parking fees if there are any. How much time out of your day is driving back and forth, etc.
Teaching hospital - means more ESL than a community hospital. Do you want your day filled with difficult dictators?
Personally, when I was in my 20's - I'd make the change no matter what. Now, that I am 38 and have 2 teens at home, etc. it is way more beneficial to me to make more money at home.
Go with your "gut" feeling! That usually never steers you wrong.
Good luck in whatever you decide.
I was thinking this the other day, I don't drive much
and short distances at that, but its comparable to that movie minority report where tom cruise is driving in one of those computerized cars and people are whipping by him and you just see the blur. I feel like that. Also people are so ornery, I go the speed limit or sometimes five over, I get passed and given a dirty look or yelled at and even a finger here and there. I feel like I need to pull over and take a deep breath or something, its a jungle out there. We're lucky we don't have to deal with traffic everyday, I would be grumpy as well.
just drive it into a lake
yes - it will probably drive you crazy until you get

zip drive discs
Hi: I know absolutely nothing about zip drives, but if you go to www.worldstart.com and go to their message board and ask this question, a techie person will answer you, usually very quickly. They have helped me a lot on problems with my computer. Good luck.
I have about a 20 mile drive
There are a couple grocery stores in that vicinity. I won't shop at Target, either, as they will not support the military and will not allow the Salvation Army outside their stores at Christmas. They are a big supporter of gay and lesbian causes as well. So far, I guess it is K-Mart for other things. Around here, Wal-Mart is trying to build a super center practically on every street corner, trying to run everybody else out of business. Really sad-- Sam Walton is probably spinning in his grave.
You pay $26,800 to drive a new car for 5 years! You can buy
 a used 2004 buick lesabre for less than that AND drive it for another five years for free... (see link below) then pocket the extra 26K you spent to drive a "new" car for those five years. You can put 200,000 miles on those cars. They are extremely reliable. Even repairs couldn't possibly cost you over $6000 - and that's what you're paying in ONE YEAR to drive your "brand new" leased vehicle. I guess if you want to throw away $6000 a year so everyone else can see your brand new car, be my guest. Me - I'd rather travel or spend it on my education or sock it away in my IRA rather than look good :) Would be interesting to hear how much debt those who lease carry.... don't say this to boast - not at all -but to give weight to what I say about living below your means. We live in a very nice, (average for our area ) custom house, 10 years old, on a 5 acre lot. We each have a vehicle to drive with no rust that don't require repair. We have 0 debt on credit cards, 0 debt in car loans, 0 debt on mortgage (paid it off in 7 years when my MTs was doing quite well)....ask anyone who leases what their asset sheet looks like...and then decide who you would rather be like. Those who lease tend to be Big Hat, No Cattle.
Drive in Movies sm
I remember as a kid going to the drive-in movies with my mom hiding us in the backseat so as not to have to pay for all of us.
As a kid I remember the amusement truck coming around and we could take a ride on the "whip" for $0.25.
I remember when it was legal to open the fire hydrant and get wet during hot summer days. (Yes, I lived in a "city").
I remember "Happy Days" was the hit show when I was a teen and the boys tried to look and be like the "Fonze".
I also remember as a teen, a bag of Doritos was $0.25.
Can you guess my age?
(Hint - between 37 and 39) LOL.
Anybody drive a convertible?
I must be going through some weird change in my life or something, but for the last 6 months or so, I've just been obsessed with buying a convertible. I have just about talked my husband into going and shopping for one this weekend.
Do any of you fellow MTs have a convertible and if so, do you like it or do you not? I would be interested in hearing pros and cons of convertibles. Thank you in advance!
Not really sure, that file should be in your C drive - sm
just check and mine comes up fine. Double click on the C drive, have all the files come up that way....also make sure that the box just right of the C drive selection has an * in it, this should get you all files and folders shown. It's a pretty simple program so once you figure this out you should be fine. Have fun.
When you click on the C: drive,
'Documents and Settings'? That is the folder that I would double click on in the C: drive folder, and then 'Owner'. My 'My Documents' folder is inside the 'Owner' folder.
Does it drive anyone else crazy when..
You are listening to a dictation and can hear another doctor in the background dictating quite loudly, and then go to start that same docs dictation, and can barely hear him?? 
I think you'd drive me to drink, too,
if I lived with you!! Amen!  Nasty, much?
60-mile drive
I used to drive 50 miles one way for my transcription job. It took me four years before I got to go home, and then I still had to drive back and forth to pick up the tapes, until they got me on the system last March - so now I totally work from home. So nice, but you are the only one that can determine whether it is worth it for you. I need/want the bennies and was willing to do it. With a sickly husband at home, it is so nice now to be at home working. Don't know if I would go back to working outside again.
where is the hard drive sm
I never unscrewed the tower case. Where will I find the "hard drive?" I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I really don't know squat about the guts of the hardware.
Hard drive out, now what?
So now you have the hard drive out, what do you do with the hard drive? TIA
You need a jump drive, not PCA.
Put the files you need on a SECURE jump drive (flash drive, thumb drive, whatever you call it). You need FTP software, such as CuteFTP or Filezilla, to access the FTP site and transfer files.
Flash drive to
copy Word to the other computer. Don't know about the other question!
flash drive
get one, they are worth it. i just got one at target for 14.99. i have seen them as low as 9.99. i type at home for a cardiology practice. i upload all my work onto the flash drive, bring it into their office, download it to their computer. when the doc makes changes on his dictation, they just bring my work up on their computer and do their thing. saves them from calling me, me making the changes, printing it, getting in the car and bringing it to them. it is wonderful. try to get one with a key ring on it, cuz they are just so small, you can lose them easily. once they go under the seat of the car, you never see them again. lol
As soon as I drive into my garage
before I ever get out of my vehicle, I am lowering the garage door. In my community houses have been broken into just the way you have stated, by leaving the door open. It matters not where you live but safety should be upmost in your mind. I never open the doors to anyone. My workroom is situated to where I could see anyone entering my property and my front door has glass to where I can see and talk through to people and not only that solicitation is not allowed in my neighborhood. I had a person to come to my door 1 day and asked them if they read the signs saying no solicitation. Guess not. You should be more careful as a mother and you should also teach your children not to just open the doors, no matter who they might think it is.
Do yo mean a jump drive?sm
Those little keychain thingies? yeah, you can use one of those. They are wonderful. I use mine all the time.
What car does this Dr drive, vacations does he
