Dictaphone EXText Word Client question.

I've been working along and all of sudden I noticed my trans status window is gone.  It's the little window that shows your downloaded jobs waiting to be transcribed/edited.  How do I get the box back without logging out and logging back in?  I'm not sure where it went or how I closed it, but I must have inadvertently clicked something.

Thanks!

Anyone out there know Dictaphone EXText?  You need two phone lines, this is a dial-up account with a toll-free number.  E-Mail me and I can give you all the details. Great paying account.

Thanks!

Do any of you using Dictaphone ExText use Stedman's Smartype as your Expander instead of the expander that comes with ExText?  It should work because it uses Word but I am not having any luck.

Who is using this platform, and can you tell me if it supports third-party expanders, i.e., Smartype specifically? 

Thanks.

I was just wondering if anybody can tell me where to find a manual for Extext?  I did a Google search but could not find anything.  I do not need the whole manual, but I would like to know some of the shortcuts of using the program.

TIA! 

Are there any MT companies doing Dictaphone EXText Speech. 

I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.

I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000.  Has anyone done this or doing it now.  If so, have you run into any problems. 

I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company.    I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription. 

I am interested to hear any and all comments.  Thank you so much in advance for any help!

Most places don't like for you to use it because it screws up the formatting, or at least that is what they say.  I could not get Emdat's Word client to open on it was installed on.

I have a friend who works in it.  She types in Word, pastes in WordPad, back into Word and over to Emdat...copy paste copy paste YIKES.  I may have that wrong and she may work in WordPad, copy to Word, copy back to WordPad and into Emdat, but in any case it is a hassle, but she says it works okay.

I'm having a problem where when I'm in a word document using Extext, I can't click anywhere in the document. I scroll with the mouse wheel, but I can't click on and move the bar on the right, can't click anywhere in the document. I can only move around by moving the cursor with the arrow keys. I don't have that problem when in a word document outside of Extext... only within Extext. I also don't have that problem on my desktop, but I'm working while out of town this week and am having the problem on my laptop.

Does anyone know if this is just a setting I need to change in word while within Extext or anything? Thanks for any help.

The EXText job is a employee status job I took for benefits.  I work as a remote MT for a 235-bed community hospital.  I would say I do the same 20 docs or so on a weekly basis.  The other account is a dermatology account that is my own and I do three docs there. 

I should add that with the hospital I have a great boss who basically lets us expand everything.  Same with my derm account.  They really don't care, just as long as the works on time and the notes and letters are basically what they said.  No exactly verbatim, but close.
