Stedman's with the yearly updates. nm
s
The Stedman's and then you buy the yearly updates afterward. nm

The Latest Word was a waste. Stedman's might have monthly updates on their site, not sure. nm

If you only bought 1 stedman's word book, what would it be?
Just got a new job (!) and want to take advantage of discount books from my old job (!). Don't know what specialties I'll be working on, general acute care AFAIK. The only book I've ever owned is Dorland's dictionary. I'm leaning towards Medical and Surgical Equipment.... but would be really happy if anyone has any ideas for me, thanks!
And I may just Go Wild and buy two.
Help! Bought Stedman's new Spellchecker and can't open ZIP files!
I emailed Stedman's numerous times and their Tech email addy bounces back. I have called 3 times and left messages!! I work at home for my hospital and haven't gotten a Call from them. The new Spellchecker was downloaded and I should have bought the CD!! Because it was downloaded I can't get my money back!
Can anyone email me instructions on how to find these files (says I'm missing the exe file and won't run) and get it installed. I'm really getting disappointed in Stedman's. Their reference Books are great but customer service is the Pitts!!
It's really not a great idea to disable Windows updates. Just because updates are scheduled to be
installed, does not mean 7.0 will be automatically installed on your pc. You will always receive a notification when installing anything other than critical updates, which 7.0 is not.
Quicklook
I have Quicklook on CD - I use that and if it's not on there, I use the internet, but I rarely use the book anymore, if ever.
Quicklook/internet
Lisette: Which internet site do you prefer? Thanks
I have an older version of QuickLook so the
newer meds aren't included. I always go to RxList first, but lots of times find that even drugs that are a year old aren't included and I have to go to Google.
I prefer QuickLook for a drug book or
either Drake and Drake. I don't know anything about Gregg's, but I think HPI are a waste of $$ and Stedman's is probably the most popular. There is also Dorland's, thought I don't know anything about those either.
Yes do check the classified board here, www.half.com, or e-bay. You should be able to get books for a fraction of new, especially if you get an older version.
What books you need will depend on the type of work you do. If you only do clinic work, just something like Sloane's Medical Word book might be all you need, in addition to a drug book. If you are just doing one specialist then a Stedman's book of that speciality would probably be all you need in addition to the drug book.
If you don't see what you need listed on the classified board here, post a wanted ad to see if you get any response.
Offer 1 week notice, but willing to offer 2 if they would be in a bind. Also, (sm)
make sure your resignation letter is written with class. Never good to burn your bridges.
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.
I have only used Stedman's. What are some differences in Dorland's and Stedman's?

I bought a wedge at Michael's for about 59 cents. Bought one for my SM
Lanier station so I could see the display and one for my keyboard.
How sweet was that!!! See ya in 2008!!...sm
Ok - cyber daughter!!! I just saw this post as I was not online yesterday (3/16). GO HILL !!!! *wink* Have a GREAT weekend!!!!!
Thanks, and Happy 2008! NM

Don't forget it's 2008 sm
The rest is up to whoever writes your paycheck. Happy New Year!
Anyone here using QLDB 2008? (sm)
Can you do wildcard searches for drugs if you don't know the first letter? For example, can you use *s*ax to search for "Fosamax"? I have QLDB 2005 and I have not upgraded because someone said you can no longer do wildcard searches without the first letter (which you can do in the 2005 version). If this is so, I won't upgrade because this is a feature I really need sometimes. I wonder if there are any other electronic drug references besides QLDB.
Thanks
Spyware 2008
Is anyone, or has anyone dealt with this thing? My daughter is home for Christmas and I do not know if she accidentally started this thing or not. She only goes into Facebook and MySpace, as I do. Anyway, this thing keeps popping up. My virus scan keeps blocking it. Do I have anything to worry about?
If you have your last pay stub from 2008
or know how much you made, you can file without it.
glad I could help!! Hill in 2008!!!! nm

Two 1099 for one company for 2008?
I just received a second 1099 from Lee Perfect Transcription from last year, who I quit for partial non-payment. They are for two different amounts. The second one is $50 over what I made for the year. The second one was under what I made. The two together obviously are WAY OFF. I called and they gave me an email address to write to, which I have not heard back. Did anyone else have this? Thanks.
It was already published in June 2008. nm

Why is that some are still stuck in the year 2008?? LOL

The Sted's 2008 comes out next month. Wait
s
This is 2008. Why work without the correct tools. nm
nm
if you look - the cert letter is dated 2008
click on the tabs there, they are not in good standing for state taxes up to 2008
I just paid $150 to take it in July 2008,,,in the states
with the study group discount
They put out an update every year. Might want to wait for the 2008 version now. nm

2008 AAMT Book Of Style? Is it worth getting?

Also avoid Antivirus 2008/2009. It is very nasty.

updates
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/render.aspx?displaylang=en&content=updateservices#
click "Microsoft Update"
click "Express"
you have to do this in Internet Explorer.
updates
the whole software was installed via net, and they say there has been no problem ever with that with other users, and it seems this is the latest software they are having.
Good luck to ya! Hope 2008 is the year of the transcriptionist !

They don't do yearly updates and never have. If you must
get hysterical about something at least get the real information about what you are carrying on about. Statements like this just make folks dismiss what you are saying because you don't know what you are talking about.
Anyone more updates on MQ bankruptcy?
 When I read that note on this board a week or two ago, it got me really worried. I'm working really hard right now training on a new MQ account, and the thought of losing my job in the near future makes me want to cry. Any feedback out there? Does anyone know what's going on?
Go to CNN.com for all of your news updates.
I also get my local newspaper online free. Why pay and kill trees when the highlights are all on the internet?
Automatic updates, or
http://www.microsoft.com/dst2007
You may have to update your calendaring programs and some cell phones as well.
Did security updates; seems all better now. -- nm
I have an HP and intermittently get updates for it...sm
Might try that before you uninstall and reinstall. Good luck!
Waiting for what? They don't do yearly updates.
What else is there to say? But if you want to keep on whining about something that is untrue be my guest.
MS Word has updates, just as Windows does. Have you
.
I was only going to get the book, but no more online updates. sm
You need to get the CD in order to get updates. Ellen Drake said on www.mtchat.com that the CD is much better than last year's.
It will still work, but will not allow you to receive updates.
.
I use Avast...it updates almost every day and runs in the background....
all the time. If I get an email attachment within attachment from forwards, it checks all of them before I even open it. It's a free program, too.
Thanks! Do you have a spellcheck that includes drug updates?
Thanks for the updates, glad to hear things
are going well for you. Go to church together, even if you split. Life can get better. God bless!
Has anyone updated yet to the new version of XP to 7.0 on updates and how does it work.
:
I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates
I'm sorry to hear that. To each his/her own. I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates. I would encourage anyone to try out software before you buy it.
Need to load some microsoft updates, need assistance here
I was told to go to microscoft and upload the latest - got the information to go to windows and click the express button and download and install. Where in the heck is the express button? Don’t see that anywhere. Thanks.
If you have not switched over to the new website for MQ updates call 800 dictate and get that done
and you will find that news on there.
