Yes like the larger font. Thanks.

Yes, a larger font would be more comfortable. Thx! nm

Can't please everyone although we try. The majority like the larger font.
Format, Font, Choose Font, Style Size & Color

Make sure you find out what font and font size
.
Format, Font, pick the font you want,
click the Default button. It will ask if you want to change...say yes.
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.
Probably why the larger Nationals have their own

not MQ, not SS, but see, most larger companies are ALL doing this...
everyone is trying to cut costs...
my question is, when the hospitals cut back on staffing (for example, the entire transcriptions departments, most all ancillary departments, nursing, etc.), the salaries/pay for all these Jobst, where did all that money go?
all I hear is how 'broke' supposedly hospitals are etc etc, but with all these cut-backs, all throughout the country, even in government, WHERE is all the MONEY?
why are we now to want all the savings to go to the heads of these corporations (hospitals are now businesses as well). they do not want to share the earnings anymore with employees, and we are supposed to like it?
benefits no longer have to be supplied by employers, etc, and every chance they get they are now making them contingent with hours worked or production...
well, where is all the money from all the savings?
it does not go to the patients (in the case of hospitals) because they do not even get to have nurses anymore, and are pushed out of the hospital immediately before they are even well.
it does not go to the employees, it does not go to the community, because none of taxes seem to go toward community programs much anymore...
where is the money?
why are we made to feel 'bad' about wanting more in our paychecks?
just not getting it here...I am worth every penny I get, and more, and deserve to have benefits and everything I used to have. rather, I am making less than I did 10 years ago in this business, plus less benefits...
sorry to go on about this...for those who are making tons of money right now, you obviously do not have to worry, but I am old-school, I guess. too much has been taken away from when I started...
10 is smaller not larger than 12, so it would be more than 65 cpl- nm

I think mainly the larger companies have
incentive plans, or the companies that have an unfriendly system so that it is hard to get lines, or horrible dictators so that MTs do the minimum and no more. From what I have seen of the incentives there are a lot of strings attached and a lot of times the company finds a way to get around them, others make the line counts so high that is is near impossible to get the incentives without working 16 hours a day. My company offers incentives if they get in a bind and get too far out of TAT. They pay a 20% for any lines over your normal line count, so that anyone is able to reach the incentive level, just how much depends on how much they are willing to work extra. I am an employee, but the ICs are offered the same incentives. I have worked for other companies that did not offer an incentive until they got in a bind.
I think some companies try to confuse you with an incentive, so that you think you could make more than 7 cpl, but then the incentives aren't that easy to make and you'd have been better offer spending the extra time living instead of working.
Yes I like it larger..helps my old eyes! nm

Does anyone know how to make the text larger in Word?? TIA
nm
larger text in Word - start by
to preview and select what suits you best. Toolbar should be showing at top of screen, pull down where is says what font type is in there. Otherwise, you can to either go to Tools to select the "formatting" toolbar, or go to View, then Font. Since my old eyes are going, I also choose the option to increase my page view to 150% (also on the toolbar at the top of your screen displaying some kind of number) by dropping down the menu (use the arrow next to it) and select the % that suits you best. Hope this helps.
Making text larger in Word
Ctrl+A to select all text, choose font size from format menu. Also make sure view is at 100%.
Yeah, we just moved and got a larger house...
so we have brought the dogs in the house now. I love having them with us and I know they are loving it, but the hair is just horrible. They are labs too, so they need lots of attention.
EMRs already in place and working well in larger institutions
The midsize MTSO I edit for uses an internet-based transcription system. Our programmers re-wrote some of our proprietary software so we could interface with one of our clients' (university hospital) EMR system. What it amounts to for us is that the dictator now dictates only the objective portion of the procedure/op note or followup note. The demographics, history, etc., are already in the record. In other words, what used to be a 150-line job is now less than 50.
I connect a larger screen - having two desktops is nice. sm
Just got my laptop cooler with its built-in USB hub, so I am adding other things.
Of course, the greatest thing you can do is take your job on impromptu vacations and not have to worry about approval from the boss.
keyboard shortcut/make letters larger
Somewhere I saw a simple keyboard shortcut that would make the letters in a program appear larger without changing the font size. I have a program I have to access at work and the letters are hard to read, but I'm not allowed to change the size. Does anyone know about this? Thanks!
If starting with a larger service, yes, you'll get training... sm
...sometimes one day, sometimes 2, 3, or more days, depending upon how much depth they go into. You should get account specifics for your account(s), as well as their expectations as to style, procedures, etc.
Of course, the depth and quality of the training can vary, both with the company and with the trainer (and, to some extent, can be determined by the others in your training sessions and how much instruction they need).
If starting with a smaller MTSO, I have no idea what to expect; but, with a larger company/national, there's usually a couple of days plus a period in which you're on 100% QA so they can monitor your output and let you know what you may be doing that needs changing, etc.
Softer touch, clicky, yet larger size keyboard.
Don't know if you'll see this, but you may want to try the "cloned" IBM keyboard by the company I mentioned previously. It is the same size & layout as the IBM, "clicky", and yet there was a subtle difference in the "touch". I felt it "was" a "softer" touch compared to the original IBM. Wish I could offer a better explanation, but it's such an "individual" thing that it's hard to describe. What is comfortable for me may not be for you. I have the one I bought from them years ago boxed up for repair, so I'm just recalling this from memory. Haven't used it in quite a while, but do remember I did get comfortable with it in the interim without my IBM keyboard.
Oh - the memories - I'll never forget the "mag card" & how the part-time worker at night never failed to wipe out the "negatives" I had stored on "certain labeled" cards everytime she worked at my desk :o)
Well - if I do run across another keyboard I think you might be interested in, I'll address it to you as "me" & hope you'll see it.
I don't work for one of the larger nationals, but a good-sized national and
in 5 years the hospital system has been down twice and my company wasn't able to pull work and the company's system was down once for a hurricane and once the power was out for part of a day. I never went a full day without work.
I think maybe some of the nationals are poorly managed and they use "server down" as an excuse for no work. For a company that depends on their servers for their livelihood I don't believe they actually have the much down time. I don't think most companies pay for downtime.
Most larger drug stores carry a selection of OTC braces and will order others, too. nm

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
yes! like the large font

LOVE the new font...THANK YOU!
It's so much easier on middle-aged eyes.
Guess I am, too. I don't like the big font at all. nm
tiny font
Something is wrong here. It sounds like this board shows up in huge font on YOUR end, but it is about an 8 font on my computer. The main board, job seeker's board, and compary board show up tiny for me, but the other boards look about 12-14 font, which is MUCH better!
font size
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 does matter
if you are on a gross line account, like me, font does matter. I am "required" to use a 12 point font and no more or less, and it does make a difference in the line count...but then again, gross line ends up paying more than 65 character lines!
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.
I think you would specify the font or renegotiate

change font
I have several accounts that use different fonts, one Arial 10, one Times Roman and one Univers and when I do my invoicing I just highlight and change the entire document to Courier 12. All the docs are aware that my cpl that I quoted was based on using the font Courier 12. I have never in 18 years been questioned or challenged on an invoce or line count. Easy enough to do. Takes 2 seconds to do it. Patti
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 question
When I hold down the control key and scroll the mouse wheel to enlarge the font in EXText, does it change the way the document is seen once it's sent or is the change only on my desktop. Sorry but I'm very technically challenged. 
regarding smaller font
I will type in any size font that they want, use what ever margins that they want but when I do my line count I change the document back to Courier 12 and use my usual margins. I tell them up front that my charge per line is on Courier 12 with 1" margins on sides. No one has every questioned me for this. They can have as many characters they want on a line in whatever font that they want but not for my line count. Saves me on my sticky paper and so I don't care. But have been doing this for years and am very upfront about what my definition of a line is and yes I do gross lines.
Does anyone know how to change font
When I read web pages everywhere, the font is huge and I do not know how I ended up with it this way? Does anyone know how I change it? I have AOL.
Thanks!
font size
I think you just go under view and change the text size to whatever you want it to be.
FONT QUESTION
Do most services use a Times New Roman 12 font? I was told by the service I might be signing on with that I could not use Courier New 12. I use this font size due to my eyesight.
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.
The font has nothing to do with the length
of a line, that is set by the margins. A 65-character count line is a line, whether the line itself has 55 characters or 85 characters. It takes 65 to make a line.
Can you change the font??
I've been typing for this doctor for about ten years. He recently changed the email address where I sent my finished work, and is having some new girls put the notes in the chart. They just asked me if I could switch my font. I looked at a file, and in switching the font, I lost 300 lines. How would you handle this? My husband told me to tell them I'll send it and they can put it in whatever font the want it in. I know that may change the formatting somewhat and make it not look right. What the heck?!
Sorry. Got cut off. Nothing I do can increase the font size.

change your font by going to "view"...
then "text size" and change the text size to larger. (I think)
I don't know why your message font is so small but it's too
