Dictaphone users, equipment question. SM
Several years ago I read about a line splitter from Radio Shack, that would allow you to talk on 2 lines at one time. I called, but they know nothing about it. Did this really exist? Is there any way to switch between the Dictaphone and regular line, so you can answer your calls as they come in, or do you all have 2 lines? TIA.
All Dictaphone EXSpeech users, do you have advice..
on how to increase line counts? Can we all list a few "tricks of the trade" here or things that have helped you? Been on EXText for years but fairly new on EXSpeech (now on EXEditor), but I know I am probably not using the system to its full potential. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!
Question for mini-laptop users. Are you able to use Dictaphone Extext program
on one of these. I noticed a lot of them do have Windows XP Home Edition but only like Microsoft Works for the word processing. I guess my question is are you able to down Dictaphone or does it have to have a Word processin program in order to download it.
Instant Text Users
I have been using Instant Text for about 2 months now, and I really like it. I am in the process of tweeking it to my docs, etc. I have a questions in regards to productivity. I have set formats that I just pop in which as information that the docs say all the time, such as in the physical examination. However, they do change things here and there, and I have to add and delete at times. Would it be more productive to have these sentences in Instant Text to pop in, or leave as is and do the editing as I read along while the doctor is dictating?
Instant Text users. Do you use markers.. sm
I am new to IT and so far am using my space bar as it is what I am accustomed to but realize there are lots of reasons to use markers. Just curious how many of you use markers and how many use the space bar and what your opinions might be. Thanks!
Question for Instant Text Users
I have been using Instant Text now for about 3 months. I really like it and it has helped increase my productivity. However, I have a question. I use the abcz method for words, but when I make a short for this it wants to pop it in the phrase section, not in the word section. If I add words to my phrase section like this will it clutter the phrase section too much? Also, does anyone have more in their phrase section than in their word section, and if so how is this working for you? I do tend to glance at the phrase section more than I do the word section. Any answers or advice is greatly appreciated. TIA 
Question for Instant Text users
I transcribe for 42 emergeny department physicians. Would you create one big glossary or create a glossary for each doctor. A lot of what is said is the same? I have one big glossary now. Which do you think is the best way to go?
Need pop up help on technical board -- thanks!

Quick question to Instant Text users: What does this come with? sm-
May be a dumb question, but is it a download or a CD? Once you pay, can you use it on multiple computers? I have several computers in different locations I use to transcribe, including a laptop, and am wondering if this can be used at multiple computers with just the one purchase. I have found several sites where you can purchase it. Any suggestions as to the best site to purchase it? Looks like a great program. Thanks ahead of time!
Is there anything on the Productivity or Technical board?

Instant Text with Dictaphone?
Is it possible to use Instant Text with Dictaphone? How is Dictaphone to work with? Thank you!
Instant Text and Dictaphone - sm
Instant Text is an Expander program that works with most programs that you transcribe in....Dictaphone is a name of a method of receiving the voice files to transcribe. So, Instant Text has nothing to do with Dictaphone. Did this clarify for you? I'm not good with technical terms, but the two have nothing to do with each other. Hope this helps.
Instant Text and Dictaphone's ExText
No problem. You can use Instant Text with Dictaphone's ExText and ExSpeech platform.
You can also import any esp file that you have built in Dictaphone's platform and you can use your list in Instant Text.
If you have any questions you can always call Textware Solutions at 1 800 355 5251

I need some help on the technical
Technical help please......
I work in Word 2003 and am needing to make headers in some of my reports with the following information (page #, patient name, date and report type). My problem is that the page number stays the same (#2) for all pages and when I go into change it all pages change. I know there is something with "sections" and all that, but I'm just not getting it to work. How can I make a header with the numbers to change from page 2 to page 3 and so on? Thanks for the help guys!
Technical help
I'm really lousy in the technical department and I just got a message on my computer that my local C disc space is almost full. I'm thinking I need to empty my recycle bin, but not sure. It is quite full, as I type the reports in Word and send through Outlook Express. Is that what this means? Any help is greatly appreciated.
No, no technical available. Need to have something set up by sm
late fall. Thanks for the help.
In the technical world
the quality of the parts that comprise one computer is no longer a deciding factor, because they are all designed and manufactured by only a few companies that are world class manufacturers. It's the service that counts. If you get good service (including after sales service) then go for that company. Check, too, the available hardware that are offered in both companies that you are considering. If the local co. has everything that Dell or Gateway has to offer and also give you good service, then go for the local.
I bought mine from Best Buy and gets good service from the pc manufacturer.
I have a question on the technical help
board please ASAP. TIA
MS word technical help
I type on ExText using MS word 97, and starting yesterday the spellchecker keeps picking up the words "as" and "is" as misspelled words. I even checked MS Word outside of the ExText forum, and it still picks out these 2 words. I keep hitting "add" to add the words so they will not keep coming up, but every time I start a new document, back it comes. Anyone with any ideas on how to permanently add these to my spellchecker so I don't have to keep dealing with this? thanks!
I have a technical question
I'm thinking about getting a new computer, and I think I recall seeing that a lot of companies' platforms aren't compatible with Windows Vista. Is this true, and if so, what do you do in that case. Cause it's not like you can buy a new computer with an old Windows system on. What do you do in this case?
that would be technical - normally I can spell!

Try core FTP lite. I have used it and it is pretty easy once you get it configured. Just drag and drop files from the left side of the screen tothe right
You are welcome. It is my best resource for any support or technical help.

I have a technical question. On my toolbar when
I click on any of the categories (File, Edit, View, Tools or Help), instead of getting my dropdown menu I get a trasparent square. If I drage my mouse down, then the titles appear but you can see the screen under them. The same thing happens on Outlook Express. (I have Windows XP). The only one that shows the regular dropdown menus is Favorites. This just started today. Has anyone had a similar thing happen or know what to do about it? Thanks.
Got a technical question, not MT related
I have a priceless message, left by my son, on my digital phone/answering machine, and am wondering if anyone here would know how I can transfer it to the computer so I can share it (and delete it from the phone).
TIA for ideas/solutions!
Long ops are the best! I love the technical
stuff! My favorite is cardiac surgery. Consults are good, too. I really don't care for discharge summaries or H&Ps, short or long. But always glad to just to have any work these days! 
What are the technical specs on your notebook (sm)
Would like more info on the specifics such as the brand, RAM, processor speed.
Wow to Technical Support! Thanks soooo much! ....
for your extensive answer!
I'll start with cleaning up my mouse and working up from there if this does not work.
I'll let you know.
There are still very kind, knowledgable, helpful and generous people in this world, THANKS !
Technical help, please- buffer overload?
Going along today and computer decided to show me a buffer overload, not able to do anything at all, said something overloaded. Anyone know what this means and how to get rid of it? I used to have Dell, oh how I miss and was told you could not have a computer made by Dell because of Vista and cannot use Vista on my platform. I need assistance, anyone??
structured text from free text...
eventually just templates filled in. being that I am near 50, I will probably be okay, but I feel bad for all the younger MTs just now in school. according to this article, we will all have to be willing to learn the new ways.
no more 'blind faith'
Please use Word and Technical boards appropriately. (NM)

I fired my ISP today because of non-US technical support....
To give a brief summary, I developed technical problems after my ISP decided to do some upgrades 2 weeks ago. The problems resulted in my getting kicked off line every few minutes. Upon contacting technical support I found myself consistently running into people that had no English comprehension skills and their responses had nothing to do with my problem or how to fix it. I found another ISP that would provide the services I needed and signed up with them 3 days ago, then called my main one today and told them they were fired because of their non-US based labor who couldn't help anyone. The lady I spoke with apologized and said this was an experiment they were doing with outsourcing technical support, but I told her that their experiment cost them a customer who had been with them for almost 4 years.
I've fired off e-mails to everyone in management that I could get ahold of telling them exactly why they were fired, and sharing the idiotic responses I received on my technical assistance requests.
I agree - charge for your technical expertise
I worked a hospital account for an MTSO that liked my work so well that they asked the MTSO to use my templates and daily logs for all of the work types asked the MTSO to give them to all the other MTs on the account, present and future. I did not know they had pirated my logs and templates until after I received a promotion to work in the office. I was livid! It took years to perfect those templates and logs. They were created based on my knowledge of what Joint Commission liked in audits. They did NOT get the macros or instructions on how to move around the documents (lots of hidden codes in those logs/templates).
I had negotiated a relocation fee of a few thousand dollars to move to their area to work in the office. I didn't feel badly about not paying it back when I left 6 months later after discovering lots of things like that once I started working in house.
You did the work. If he wants them and if you want him to have them, decide on a fair price, then add 15% :)
Must be a highly technical medical word as
