Can someone help me, please? I'm trying to set up my own templates and need to create jump codes. Does anyone have any suggestions? I did the Ctrl F9, but when I saved the template and reopened it, the blank symbol was gone. If anyone has suggestions, I am willing to try them. Thanks everyone. Have a blessed day.

Jump Codes
In Word -- go to View - toolbars - check forms. Now on your top toolbar you should see a little box with 'ab' and a check mark next to it. Put your cursor where you want the jump code and click on the 'ab.' Jump code will come in.

Well, that didn't work either. Nothing happens when I do shift+F11 or just F11. Thanks anyway.
Need Word help again please :) (jump codes)
I posted yesterday about the jump codes. I put the brackets in by ctrl F9 and that worked great. The problem is that once I save it, I have to get the normal back to the screen when I want to use it by going to insert and then file and clicking on that normal. Once it loads the normal, all the brackets I inserted have turned to little square symbols and the F11 function is not working on them anymore.
Any ideas on what else I could do? I have to use the file and then insert though to retrieve the normal.
Thanks in advance!!
For jump codes in MS Word,
I believe that when you are setting up your template you use F9 to create the jump to field, and then use F11 to jump to it when you are transcribing.
bayscribe jump codes -- yes
You set your jump code (mine is ^, can't remember the default) under Bayscribe word Expander settings, tab "Local Configuration" ... near the bottom of the list, "set quick find text" is where you enter your personal ^ and then under "find quick find text" you set your key-combo to take you to the next one ... (mine is shift-control-Y) ...
The big caution is to make sure that your "^" and key combo aren't already in use (or something that might appear legitimately in a report)... and that work for you. I had a problem with the defaults, but I can't remember what it was! Good luck -- works great!

Can someone tell me how to create a resume on MTStars. Thanks
Creating glossaries
To create glossaries, the first option would be to import your AutoCorrect file. Right-click on Phrases and go to Importer and click on the AutoCorrect option and follow the prompts.
The next option would be to do a compilation as suggested in the previous post. To do a compilation, right-click on the glossary list and select "Multiple File Compilation" and then follow the prompts.
With regards to not seeing any matching phrases in your advisories: What glossary are you currently using? What are you typing for a short form? Do you see anything in the advisories at all?
It may be easiest to troubleshoot over the phone. Please feel free to call us at 781-272-3200 ext 2 with any questions and we can help get you started. We are here Monday-Friday 9am-5pm eastern time. You can always email us as well.

Creating a proposal for services
I have been asked to submit a proposal for transcription services for a local imaging facility. The dictation is accessed over the internet and the reports are typed directly into their own system. I am a bit sketchy on how to submit a proposal like this. Can anybody provide me with a "sample." I will be hiring additional subcontractors to help me on this account. I have only been employed as an outside contractor on one-site facilities and dont really know all the wording that is needed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Need help creating a go-to function in Word...
I would like to set up Word so that I can press tab (or some other) key and it will move to a specific point in the report such as ???, so that I can then insert text at that point. I have had many templates come to me with this function but I would like to be able to set it up for my own templates, only don't know how....after spending 30 minutes in the Help menu I'm just frustrated!!  But I bet one of you folks know how to do it! Sure would appreciate the help.
Help creating letterhead templates
I would like to take an existing letterhead, scan it and create a template for it that can be pulled up and typed right into. Someone I used to know did this for one of my accounts at one time, but I have no clue on how she did it and no contact with her anymore. It doesn't seem like this should be anything difficult to do, but I have played around with it and just can't figure it out.
Would really appreciate any pointers, or even links/websites where I might be able to find simplified information on how to do this. I am a little "behind the times" and not very experienced on much besides typing at this point. I will be changing direction soon and need to update my ways of doing things.
Thank you in advance for any tips or direction.

Creating a resume on MTStars
Would someone please explain how I can create a resume on MTStars. I appreciate your help. I really need to post a resume ASAP. 
Instructions on creating a field.
Using Word 2002, you would do this by creating a field in the report. First, you must enable Field Codes by going to Tools, Options, View, under Show check Field Codes and Shading Always. Then hit OK.
Next, in your template or blank document in Word, go to Insert, Field, select Go To Button. The Go To Button will be grayed out on your screen. However, you will be able to see the Go To Button field on your monitor screen if you enabled the field correctly as described above.
To use the Go To Button field in your report, to land in this field when transcribing, use F11. This will place your cursor right in the Go To Field box in your report. As soon as you starting typing, the Go To Field box will be replaced with the text. This field is very useful when you only need to fill in text in a paragraph. I use it all the time in my templates to save time. And we all know time is money in this business.
Of course, these instructions could be slightly different in other versions of Word. I use Word 2002. But this is the basic concept of setting up a field in a document.
I hope this is of some help to you.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Questions about creating a bid proposal...
I am fairly new to the business. I am currently transcribing part-time for a local clinic. I learned that the clinic will be accepting bids for a new contract position. I have never drawn up a bid. Do not know the first thing about it. I have someone who can help me with that. What I would appreciate any suggestions or advice on are:
1. What to charge per line? Will picking up and dropping off tapes at 3 sites. Will be transcribing outpatient clinic and radiology reports.
2. Turn around time? Current contractor has 3 days. The contract in place states 24 hours but they have been lenient lately.
3. Would it be accurate to figure 30% for taxes and 20% for benefits?
I appreciate any and all advice. Anything I have forgotten, please let me know!
Thank you for suggestions. 
Creating back space in IT
I admit that I am challneged when it comes to Instant Text. Year-old is already entered but have been attempting -month-old with no success.
Any ideas?
As always, my gratitude!
Very sorry if I'm creating the wrong impression...sm
This post will be a little long - my apologies in advance.
First, I wasn't "discounting" the dslextreme suggestion per se. However, the OP had already indicated that her phone company couldn't provide DSL, and if the phone company can't physically configure a line for DSL no other company like dslextreme, which has to rely on the phone company provisioning the line, can provide it either. I should have been more explanatory in my response, but then I suppose I would have been "preachy".
As for whole "preachy" thing and the "belarc" post sounding like a magazine article, I write the way I write. It's true that I've written many articles on technical subjects, so perhaps that style has crept into my forum posts as well. What I'm trying to do is to include as much information as possible in my posts so that I'm not just leaving everyone with more questions than answers. Sometimes, a little information just confuses people while a little more information would have made it clearer.
In other words, I'll plead guilty to sometimes trying to teach, but I have no gospel that I'm trying to preach. Perhaps you'll make that distinction in the future.
Maybe it would help if you knew a little about me. I've been in the transciption industry for over 25 years, and in that time I've sat in most of the "seats", including production, QA, supervision, management and tech support. The latter is most relevant here, so I'll go further to explain that I've always had an interest in the technologies that we use and have invested literally $tens of thousands in taking everything from college courses to certification "bootcamps" to seminars having to do with telecommunications, networking, operating systems, PC maintenance, computer security and even digital forensics. I've also done quite a bit of HIPAA training. If you'd care for a list of the training I've had, I'll be happy to provide it if you reply by email.
I don't say this for any other reason than to point out that I don't come on this forum for any other reason than to share what I've learned with the members of the forum. If it's not helpful to post on the forum, I have other things to do than posting and I'm sure members have other things to do than reading the posts.
Personally, I think it's a shame when anyone who has something of value to offer and does so voluntarily finds that they're being attacked on "style points". When you commented on my Belarc post, my only thought was, "Yes, but did you download and run it, or did you let all that other junk get in your way?" If it's the latter, you're the loser, not me.
...and now, as I said, I have other things to do. Have a nice day!
Are you creating a template or form letter? Then try this. sm
Your message makes me think that you're trying to create some kind of form. If so, try these steps.
View, Toolbars, Forms. You will now have a toolbar that makes creating the form much easier for you. Mouse over each button to see what it does but it sounds to me like you'll use the text form field button the most. Finish creating your template/form and click on the padlock on the toolbar to lock your form. Save it.
Now, you can just hit tab to move between the fields to make filling it in faster. Hope this helps.
But at least with straight you're creating a document, not -
correcting one a machine did. I just get so bored proofreading, that I think correcting VR would put me to sleep.
Also, doesn't editing pay a lot less per line than straight transcription?
India and China will undoubtedly be creating
Just as the blue collar workers in manufacturing can be replaced, in this global setting, so can the entire corporations - I give them 10 years before the enterprising businessmen in China, India (whereever US CEOs have fled to gain access to slave labor) steal the info and create their own companies and compete as they certainly would be happy with a fraction of the American CEOs income.

Field Codes
Not sure if this is what you mean, but if you place field codes (CTRL + F9) in the appropriate places in your template, you can jump to them by pressing F11.
Field Codes - yes that's it...
thank you so much. 
You mean ASCII codes? Try here:

Why Time Codes?
Hello,
Time code stamps are used for a variety of purposes. First, it makes it much easier to find where you are in the audio when you are reading through a transcript. For example, a 6-hour medical conference can generate a 300 page transcript. It's not always possible for the Transcriptionist to identify all the speakers, but the end user of the transcript often knows who is speaking by his/her voice. With a time coded transcript, the end user can go directly to the point in the audio that they are interested in.
Also, if you want to create scrolling text with video editing software, you have to give the program time codes. Some companies that do online CME use a scrolling transcript on the page. Time codes let the program know what text to display at what time.
Finally (and this is the application I'm least educated about), after a movie is filmed, the production company often requires a very detailed transcript of the movie, including time codes.
There are probably other applications, but these are the first that come to mind.

Does anyone know how to set stop codes in
Word? TIA!
Stop Codes
Its Ctrl F9 to create the stop. Ctrl F11 takes you through the document.
Stop codes. sm.
What do you use stop codes for? I know how to use jump codes, but how can I incorporate stop codes into transcribing document? TIA.
Need Help W/Stop Codes
I've tried saving the stop codes as part of my template in my AutoCorrect in Word, but whenever I pull in the template, the stop codes are gone. It appears as though they won't save in AutoCorrect. I've also tried saving them into my template in my expansion software, but they disappear in this, also. Can anyone help? Thanks!
ICD9 codes?????
I have a dictator who is giving the ICD9 codes after each diagnoses. Are these usually included in the report??? I know that I have to follow the accout specifics for every account, but there is nothing about this in any of my specifics or standards. I have never run into this before! Any help would be appreciated!!!! Thanks~
Can someone please tell me how to see document codes in Word?..nm
nm
Hit alt F9 to show the codes. Did you tick the
formatted text radio button when you added to autocorrect?
If your company does not give you the codes..
which I am sure they will I will be glad to assist you. I can possibly get you the codes tomorrow as I will have my daughter scan and copy it and then email it to me and I will email it to you. Most likely your company will get that to you. Good luck...
Press Alt + F9 to toggle on field codes.
Or go to tools, options, and check field codes on the view tab.
Alt F9 also shows and hides field codes.

Ctrl. F9 to create codes, F11 to move through them - nm

Thank you Sarah1114 for your info on stop codes!
I ran across that note from 1/22 today. I've been trying to figure out how do do that for the whole five years I've had this computer, but didn't even know what phrase to look for (ie, "stop codes"). You've just made my like a lot easier!!!
I have a question about inserting field codes..sm
When creating templates to be stored on Bayscribe, is there a way to insert field codes? Some call them jump codes or stop codes. I'm trying to create templates for an ER account and desperately need these code! Thanks!
How are codes separated? - comas, hypens, parentheses
nm
You can manually type the codes for caps lock on and off
Just type the symbols on the keyboard with the B and it will go in fine. Don't know why your keyboard is beeping, but hope it won't when you manually put the codes in. Hope this helps! :)
Hey, don't jump all over me....
I DID keep my kids at home while I worked. However, to not help someone become "aware" of the potential stressors isn't realistic. This original poster is a single mother, not exactly an easy situation to be under the best of circumstances. I was married and not under pressure to produce an income to live off of. I also did not work set hours, I had a situation that allowed me to work whenever I could. Again, not always the way it is, especially when your choices are limited by being a newbie and having to take any job you might be offered. Yes, lots of people do this BECAUSE they want to be home with kids, myself included, but to make it sound easy to care for small children AND learn a completely new field of work, WHILE being a single mother just isn't fair. It's not that she's being discouraged, just enlightened, which is what she asked for. Reality, not candy coating.
Just had to jump in on this one
After living with an alcoholic ex-husband for 20 years, I don't think this is labeling. I think it is a reality. He was a functional drunk. In other words, he managed to fool the people around him at work that didn't know him well enough or didn't work with him closely. Those that were close enough to him to see him on a daily basis could see that he only fooled himself into thinking that it didn't impair him. He would use the same reasoning you just did and say that it affects every person differently and some have a higher tolerance. My point to him is the same as yours: if it starts affecting your everyday life then it IS impairing your judgment. If you can't even wait a few hours until the workday is over to have your drink and feel you have to make excuses for why you're drinking on the job, then you're judgment is already impaired before you even take the drink. I don't think it matters if you're a doctor, bus driver, MT, or zookeeper, you are being PAID for your skills and time while on the job. Save your drinks for recreation. If you can't, then either you have a problem with it or you don't respect those who will receive your finished product or those who employ you.
Think about it....if you were on a job interview and the interviewer asked if you had a problem with drinking on the job, would you honestly tell that person, "no, I think it's okay to drink in moderation" and then expect to be hired?
Don't jump!

When they jump on someone like below..

Jump on it sm
Forget the miles stuff, outsourcing is in, line money is down. You will make it up in that you will be getting used to the dictators, etc. and pick up speed. I would rather do one hospital than multiple other accounts. It will go fast after awhile, Keep a few small people in case this does not work out for some reason, at least you will have some small money coming in. I say go for it and accept the 12 cents or India will steal it from you at half the price. From the voice of experience, I would go with the hospital at .12 CPL, not a bad deal!
Jump for joy!
The BOS means nothing. What your account wants does.
Let me jump in, I know what you're getting at here..
Oh, long about the time Tom Cruise came on the scene as a very young actor, the hunks all seemed to be the shaven, hairless chest, short, prety boy actors. Not that they ARE'NT men, it's just that they LOOK like young teenage boys. Ben Affleck is another one. Good looking, but boyishly so. Compared to Tom Selleck, Sean Connery, Sly Stallone, Arnold Swarzenegger, and those types, these guys all like like "girly men" as Arnold would say.
Seems to me some people are just too willing to jump into
