Word 2007 Spell Checker
Is anyone having a problem with Word 2007 spell checker? Somtimes it underlines a misspelled word and sometimes it doesn't. I sent some notes in with quite of few misspelled words. It is so aggravating. I have checked all my settings, and it is set up to show misspelled words and grammar mistakes. I just don't understand why it works one minute but then doesn't work the next.
Medical spell checker
What is the best spell medical spell checker to buy? I'm new to this. Thanks.
MEDICAL WORD SPELL CHECKER
I want to update my 2000 Stedmans Spellchecker. Is there a newer version and what would be the best one to get.
Your Favorite Medical Spell-Checker?
Does anybody have any suggestions for which medical spell-checker to buy for a Word-based platform? Any suggestions on where to find one cheap that is still thorough? Thanks!
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced medical spell checker?
I've seen some advertised and the prices vary, and I'm wondering which ones are good. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
I use Sylvan software's medical spell checker and ...am
also their Shortcut word expander. I love both of them. Unfortunately, the spellchecker does not work in DocQscribe, which I work in now. I wish I could get it to because I hate the DocQScribe spellchecker.
Definitely need a spell checker. I use Spellex, very good. (nm)

Spellex has a Medical/Pharmaceutical Spell Checker called Spellex-Anywhere
Spellex has a Medical/Pharmaceutical Spell Checker. The program is called Spellex-Anywhere they have a free trial on there website so you can try if before you buy. I hope this helps :).
DQS spell checker
When you type "whre" instead of "where" when you spell check it the first word that comes up for a correction option is "whore." Wonder how many reports typed by some of our wonderfully accurate Medquist MT's made it through with the word whore in the report? 
spell checker I use
I have used steadmans spell checker for word in the past but the company I work for uses Spellex. I cant really tell a difference between the two but I do know Spellex has a free trial on there site so you can try it before you buy.
Spell checker
I have used Stedman's spell checker on two different jobs and love it, but not the price, especially since it is just for one user. Can I really only put it on one computer? I am an IC and have two computers, and now need to buy a medical spell checker. What do all of you guys recommend? I like the fact that the spell checker automatically corrects a lot of the words, and does not simply flag them. I also do not want to go through a manual spell check after I finish a document. Is there another spell checker out there that works as well for less money?
spell checker
If you are working off a template or sample that has been spell checked previously you have to reset your document in - tools, options, spell check - check document - so that it will re-look at everything. I do this with every document just to be sure.
Spell checker
I recommend Stedman's Plus Spell Check software through their website. mnm
spell checker
I highly recommend Dorland's spell checker CD that comes with their illustrated dictionary (I paid about $55.00 two years ago). It has all of the words the dictionary has but the beauty of it is you install it directly into your word processing program. You have to change your dictionary from default to "medical". It then works like any other spell checker, except it is all medical. It saves a tone of time and is great for accuracy.
I use Spellex Spell Checker
I have Vista and Office 2007 . I use Spellex Spell Check for Office 2007 and LOVE IT! :). You can go to there website and download a trial. I hope this helps! :)
Stedman's Plus Spell Checker
I purchased a new computer that has Word 2007. The Stedman's Spell Checker that I have is the 2005 version. Does anyone know if it will work with Word 2007 or do I just need to purchase a new medical spell checker?
My Stedman's spell checker
If I do not capitalize a non generic drug, my Stedman's capitalizes it, however it will not lower case the generics if I accidentally type it with a capital. However I am luck, my docs don't care and if I accidently capitalize a generic, no biggy or if I do not capitalize it, no biggy as long as the spelling is correct. I do try and be accurate but sometimes I am not. But I have noticed that my Stedman's will capitalize if it should be and I wish it would work the other way also. .
I type into EMR with no spell checker
KInd of like balancijng your checkbook without a calculator but it can be done. I keep the internet running in the background and at first did a lot of Google search as I did not trust myself especially with meds. But now I do. Are you typing in a word program or EMR's as if the EMR's are word based you can load on your Stedman's -- I was doing another type of EMR and could do that. Otherwise, you can copy and paste onto a laptop that you bring in with the spell check and do it that way. But again, I started out with a Dictaphone belts, Royal typewrite, then a selectric without correction and then correction capability. So it can be done, it really makes you think but now when I do my other, I don't have as many mistakes. Also don't be surprised if there are no expanders. Good luck.
Stedman's Spell Checker works for me. nm
Best Spell Checker compatible with Vista?
 I just bought a new Sony Vaio and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a spell checker that was compatible with Vista for Word 2007. Are there any out there that are good?
No, Stedman's spell checker does not work with
Meditech. Meditech has its own spell checker, and believe me, you want to stay away from it because it has been added to by transcriptionists at each site who DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL!
Meditech is the worst platform of any around bar none. It is not geared to transcription. It is only a data base system. The hospitals that use it are too cheap to do anything to upgrade to a Windows based transcription system. They will offshore before they will do that. Bottom line, you know. MEDITECH IS A PRODUCTION KILLER.
what kind of electronic spell checker to you use? sm
i'm thinking of getting an electronic spell checker, where it will automatically correct your words as you type. is there such a program?
thanks
Can anyone recommend Spell Checker for Word 2003?
Stedman's spell check does not work with 2007.
Tech support at Stedman's said that come Feb 28, 2007 they are releasing an updated version of their spellchecker and it will work with Word 2007. If you already have Stedman's spellchecker 2006, on Feb. 28 you can call with your registration number and they can give you an update in the amount $39.00 instead of buying the whole thing all over again!
Office 2003 so far, but going to Office 2007 as soon as I can. nm

2007 macro help..anyone good in 2007??
hi,
I now need to start using Word2007. I would like to know if anyone out there knows how to build a macro in word2007? I could do this in word97, but cant find the same commands to do my macro in 2007?
HELP please
Tiffin
Stedman's Med Dictionary and Stedman's Med Spell checker are two different programs. Which on
do you have? If it is the medical dictionary, as far as I know it is only a reference software and can't be used as a spell checker.
If you have the spell checker, go into Word. Click on Tools, Options, and then Spelling & Grammar tab. Then click on the Custom Dictionaries button about half way down the window. This will open a new window that lists your available dictionaries and one should be checked. Mine is checked next CUSTOM.DIC (DEFAULT). There is an ADD button to the right. If you click it, you will be able to browse for your custom dictionary.
Hope that helps.
How did you get Office 2007 when it has only --sm
been released to businesses and is not available to the general public yet?? just curious. (wish I had it)
$400 for Office 2007?
Why so expensive? I cannot afford to buy this. Any suggestions? I need to upgrade but at that price I simply cannot afford to take the job.
Spellex already supports Office 2007
I just recently got a new computer and it came preloaded with Vista and Office 2007. I went to Spellex's website and they had the Office 2007 version already available and I believe it was $40 for the upgrade for current customers. Hope this helps :)!!
Office 2003 versus 2007
Hi,
I am still working in Office 2003 but have been considering Office 2007. Is anyone using this? Do you like it? Do you know if programs like Shorthand, Abacus, and other transcription programs work with it? Is it possible to have Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same computer without interfering with the one another??
Also was told Office 2007 is meant for Vista.
It requires a lot more power than most machines have with Windows XP.
New in-office job has NO spell check
Hi - I am starting a new position at a psychiatric facility; will be working three 12-hour days (!)...on initial review of work environment/computer system, etc., they have their "own" program that their "team" set up, but it has NO spell checker, not even one for "general" words, much less a medical one...the other woman who is scheduled to start with me kept on saying, "why is there no spell check... I have never heard of that".... in my opinion, it saves a lot of time having a spell check, we are going to ask their "tech guys" who set up the program if one can be installed, but unfortunately I don't think that is going to be an option, ?...what is your opinion? would you work with no spell check, with a place that is backed up about 1-2 months?...(or have I just gotten too 'spoiled" with working at home with all the "gadgets" that make transcribing faster and more accurrate....less frustrating. Thanks for your time.  Jen
you are exactly right - an MT should spell correctly in everything she writes, medical or not

Are there any free medical spell checkers for Word that can be downloaded?..

Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
It was a very very large medical office that
outsources the transcription to various transcriptionists rather than to a service. The form that I was sent for formatting, I was told is basically the way they do it, but yet, the transcription I did for them definitely did not apply to the format.
If it is a medical office, they should have one as we all sign one when we work there -- nm
...
Take your medical degree into the office and voice your concerns.
How do you know the patient isn't getting the proper care? No two patients are alike, just because your child has the same condition doesn't mean anything. This parent probably has googled her child's condition and is working along with the doctor. As an MT, you should not talk about any patient even with the other people in the office. It is confidential information and very unprofessional.
Must be a good MT...you can't spell
...LOL
It's a good idea to run a spell check
I would not correct as I went along. I always do a spell check.
Does anyone know of a good, but cheap spell check program? sm
Just did an upgrade to XP and have lost my "free" Spellex that I got with my schooling on my old computer. I have a new job but cant afford to buy the Spellex program yet. Any good ones that do both medical and drug names that is CHEAP? I plan to buy the spellex again when I get a few paychecks, but for now I need something. It is getting really tiring looking up so many drug names! 
Your QA needs to get a good medical dictionary. SM
I've been an MT for a long, long time and I have never heard of anything so ridiculous.
IC good thing is no more office politics.....nm
Those are all very good reasons why I left the office, - sm
but at least I could leave at the end of the day, and afford to buy things at the supermarket on the way home. Money worries have become the big glaring issue that is always there, and won't go away no matter how hard or how many hours I work. And then, all that gets sabotaged when you run out of work. (Which is happening to me as I write this. I intended to work all afternoon and evening today to make little extra, and now that's not gonna happen.)
So everything is a trade-off, I guess. And as much as I hate to think about having to have a "work wardrobe" again, or deal with all the issues you mentioned, I hate it even more that I haven't funded my 401K in about 3 years, nor my savings account, which has been dwindling because I keep siphoning funds out of it to get by each month. I'm hoping to land an onsite job before my savings are depleted.
need a good online medical dictionary
that I can use without having to download it because I'm not allowed to download anything and I can't intall my stedman's.
What's a good source for very new medical terminology? sm
I'm wanting to avoid paying for a $95 subscription to something like The Latest Word, if possible. Is there a web site that posts new medical drugs and other terms that are so new they haven't hit the books yet?
thanks!
Can anyone tell me of a good medical search engine? nm
