header/footer
Its the info that goes into the top or bottom of a page. One doctor that I type for has me put the info in (Type of report, pt's name, date seen, etc). into the header/footer. I click on "insert header/footer" and put the info in. That info becomes "ghosted." Hope this helps.
Put the logo in a header.
As for the information down the side, use a Text Box. Details would vary based on what you want that text to look like. Be sure to make it the full length of the page and remove the border around the box (either double click or right mouse click on the box and choose format text box. Play around with the Layout to get the text to align how and where you want it to go.
The one thing I'm not sure about is how your line counting program works and whether it will ignore whatever is in the text box. (You should be able to get it to ignore the header/footer info.) However, my feeling on this is if you did the work to get it set up, then every time you use this template, you should be compensated the pennies that counting those lines that would be counted.
P.S. You should be able to just double click on the header.

why need see if you can make a header on your paper sm
to put their preprinted info on there rather than having to worry about a new printer, different type papers, etc. this sounds like it would solve all if agreed upon and aren't that hard to set up in word. then you could have that set in your template when you pull open your work.
Might even want to do the letterhead into your transcription as a header...
unless he wants fancy embossed or something. See, there's something new you can offer him!
Can someone explain a header and footer..nm

Either create it in the header section of
page set up or use a hard return after it and a page break at the end. Center text below the hard return but above the page break and leave a regular line at the bottom of the page. I would then copy it and paste it however many times I needed a report for then go back to the first and start filling in.
Hope this helps.
Think it's around 40 without header or footer info, pg. #s, etc. but

my header is in a table and want it to list in
format in document. So my header is in table format but my document has headings can you do this that it automatically fills them in for you or do you have to do each one singly?
Header infor difficulties
I've been on this account that I have for over 1-1/2 years and the rules they keep a changing. I'd been going back and forth regarding date of service versus date of discharge and finally this week got an explanation that actually makes a modicum of sense so hopefully now I'm doing it right according to new rules. Doing headers/pt info is sometimes the hardest part because accounts are so picky and they're always changing. Don't stress too hard about it. Five reports a day doesn't give you much exposure to it either. Practice makes perfect and all that. Good luck!
Shouldn't standard material like this be in a header anyway?sm
I mean it sounds like it is their letterhead, and you're not typing it anyway...Originally it should have been in the header where it would not have been included in the line count. But since it didn't start that way, you better just keep quiet about it. It's only 36c a page anyway.
If the names are in the header they won't be counted by Word. nm

they probably are taking off for the header/footer and maybe spaces.
i would ask them. My company knocks off about 5 lines a page for the header/footer.
how to display header info on dictaphone?
Hi,
I have just started a new job that uses the dictaphone. Is there anyway to get the job information to display in the display window? I had an account years ago that used the phone as well, and I remember there was a way to program the phone to display this information, but I cannot remember how to do it and cannot find this information anywhere! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Can someone tell me how to set Word so that header stays in view on the report? nm
Packet is the size of the message (with header info) being sent.
When contacting Linksys, ask about this. They should be able to tell you if that's where the problem is and how to fix it.
Hmm..patient information, name of facility, etc. on top of page is a header. Stuff on bottom like ph

Take the character count divded by 65 and that will give you your line count.

it does not count gross lines...I count 37 and it counts 67.

Nope, not a higher count. Actually, the count is the same...
I use a word count and not a line count, but because you mentioned it, I ran a few documents using line count, and the count is exactly the same. However, Flashcount has a lot of nifty features. I like it. :)
You need to Ctrl + A, then hit F9 to update all fields. To update header,
you need to switch to print preview and back or print the document.
You need to watch your line count. I was working for them and got reports that had line count of 0
You need to watch your line count. I was working for them and got reports that had line count of 0 in them. They did not pay for templates, they would deduct the template even if it was not used and deleted. I notified them and said they could not change it.
So I asked to be put on another account and they refused. I quit.
I was also promised they would have an incentive plan going into place if you type a certain # of lines. Two years went by and nothing.
I was really disappointed in OSI.
They also offered to pay half on joint AAMT, which they failed to do.
I am glad I am no longer there.
Word count: 824 lines. DocuCount count: 897 lines.
I just counted the same file in Word and then in DocuCount, and DocuCount was higher than Word.
Just as an aside.
Don't count on it
If they can program out the space count, they can certainly pick and choose which characters they don't want to pay for.
Even if you could count on MT as
we know it to be around forever, unless you are a robot or a glutton for punishment you will probably burn out well before your 20 years until retirement. I wish I had used MTing as a way to make a living while studying for a better job, but it is probably too late for me now. I will probably die slumped over the keyboard trying to make a few pennies to supplement my Social Security! 
count me as one!

Help with MP count
Cannot figure how to use this with word, is there a way to have it come up in the program? I want to count lines only.
thanks ya'all!
WP Count
Chews the heck out of work but it does count... company is based in Carnation, Washington.
They don't count at all, I don't think
As an IC with this company, if I don't submit an invoice, I don't get paid. I wish THEY would do it. Oh well.
Does Fox count as
one of those channels that Bush can interrupt? Boy, if I miss 24 or Prison Break, I'm gonna write a letter to him....
While I don't think you can count on
any industry anymore, you can always count on yourself. If you decide to return home, maintain your other abilities and contacts and expand your options. Additionally, have you spoken to your current employer about the possibility of working at home one or two days a week? Turnover is costly, and they might prefer to work something out than lose you. Good luck to you.
MP Count
Does anyone have the Software for MP Count? (The older version). TU
MP Count
Anyone have the exe file for MP Count? My computer crashed and I lost it. Thanks.
Here's how I count.
I count 65 characters with spaces, tabs, returns, indents, header/footers, and bold, underline and caps on/off. I also use Abacus right now. Abacus will also count all caps or all bolds or underlines but I don't think that's fair. I used my fingers to turn them on/off though so I charge for that.
Count me in!
I would be interested in this. I agree the effort has to be specific to a person or show to have an impact.
Don't count on it
The cost of shipping them would be very high as well as the shipping the reports back as they would probably want them ASAP and so Fed Ex or next day service would be quite expensive. Most of the docs want 24 and a few will go with 48 TAT. That is just the standard. My suggestion would be staying with digital only but it is the dire hard using the tapes that are utilizing a lot of us small MTSO's. Good luck, again check into Fed Ex and see just how expensive it is. I don't think that they will eat the cost as it is your choice not to come in to pick up, again I think the liklihood of a clinic going this way is extremely low. As for HIPAA/HIPPA -- cannot remember which one sometimes, violations, they do mail reports all the time to other clinics, etc. You just have to use safeguards.
You can set it to count that. nm

Let's count off.

Add one more to the count
My husband is the worst of them all. Recently when people ask how work is going for me, etc. He will chime in with "She doesn't work!" I have told him if he keeps it up, I won't be working and he'll see the not working paycheck. He also likes to think that just because I work at home that I shouldn't take breaks like every other employee in the U.S. If I take a quick break - I'm screwing off and "not working."
I think it is a lost cause trying to get anyone to understand what transcription and/or working from home is all about.
Not up to the count sm please!
It will be up to the "courts" -- we do not need people like you defaming us. Shame on you! Don't bother to flame me, I won't open it!
I should add that you can only count ř"
reports at a time if you do not have a code to enter. My employer gave this program to me as that is what they use to count lines, so am not sure what you have to do to get the code.
Line Count...
Does anyone know if the Word 2000 line counter is generally the same as what most MT companies go by? I'm trying to see how I do being paid by lines as opposed to report.
Line count. No way, no how, ever. nm
Nope!
I think that's a good count
Personally, I have to think those #s are exagerated. I know there are some whirlwind folks out there, but really: I know of someone who claims 2,000 per hour. I think not.
200-250 is most respectable. I do about half that unless I am doing all OPS, and I'm a fast typer and researcher. I always tell myself slow and steady wins the race.
Line Count
I have worked for SS for a few years and I DO NOT like the fact you cannot check individual line counts. I do not like having to trust someone to be in charge of my line count and I have no way of verifying it is correct. The line counts bounce all of the place. Try it yourself. I have a line count program and one day it is a couple of lines off and others over 10%. Not good and I can't believe they get away with this.
Character count
I have no tip, but my co is also doing that. UGH!
DQS does count spaces
DQS counts everything on your text page including spaces. However, it does not count anything imported into the ADT field. It does count anything the MT types into the ADT field.
My problem with your post is that your office actually reduced your line rate because they said you would be making more money? That is really messed up. Here's why: Even though many ADT fields are autopopulated, these are characters we would normally get paid for. We still have to listen through the dictator giving the information, information I was able to type in no time and get paid for it. Then there are the times we have to do searches and sometimes be very creative with the searches and sometimes have to sift through multiple admissions to be sure we have the right selection. Then there are the times the doctor keys in data for the wrong admission and we have to recognize and fix.
Therefore, this simple ADT field and the fact we do not get paid for it, IMO, takes away whatever production assets the program offers. I have been on DQS for a year and am lucky to produce the same as I was on my old platform. Since I know everything in the text field is counted, the only reason I can figure is the ADT field.
Any MT who was cut back in pay when put on DQS should absolutely be upset because I don't think anyone's production has really been increased that substantially.
DQS does count spaces, but you definitely deserve the 1/2 cent increase.
changes in DQS line count..sm
Apparently, now the ASR count is included in the "transcription" count. As of yesterday, I had to
look under "correction" to see ASR count and as of today, there is no "correction" listed. Hmmm.
line count
When they first started ASR it was under transcription, then they separated it, now put it back. Actually QC is a level higher than QA, at least that is how it has been explained to me, if QA can't fix it then it goes to QC
mq line count
Yes, I was surprised to see that suddenly happen on Sunday, I believe it was. Seems like explanations should be given to us before or at least shortly after making such a change. Maybe their lawyers suggested they do it this way? I have not yet had a pay cut for ASR.
To MQline count
They ahd the system down for 2 hours on sunday to revamp it, that is when the changes occured. Not sure why, but when you go into DocQmanage, there is a little box to click to see all the new improvements (in their eyes)
