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!

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.

Any of you computer smarties out there who can help me out?  I'm new to Word Client and EXText and I'm trying to figure out the least maddening way to set up my lists and numbers.  I already have a great macro for when they dictate 1., 2., 3., etc. so no problem there.  My problem comes in when some of these guys want 1. and then a., b. c.  They want it to be set up like this (hope it comes out right)

1.   text text text

      a.   Text

      b.   Text

2.  Text

      a.  Text.

I can get my a. b. c. macro to look right when I type it as a stand alone macro, but if I have done my 1.2.3. macro and then try to do the a.b.c. underneath the 1, then it scoots the a.  waaaay too far over to the right, to where it is under the second word of the text, not lined up right under the first letter of the text under 1.  Does anyone know of a way to do this that doesn't involve a bunch of time and extra key strokes?  Hope this makes sense trying to explain it, I'm waiting on deliverye of my Word For Dummies book but then had the thought that I have seen computer-related questions answered here before and thought I would give it a shot.  TIA.

One of my clients requested that I charge this way.  We do 10 words = 1 line, so basically a penny per word.  From what I have figured, I'm doing okay when compared to the character count way of charging on this account.  I think they requested charges calculated this way because of being ripped off by their last MT.  Once I send their files, they can check the word count and keep a running tab to compare with my statement.  They're satisfied and I'm satisfied, so it works well. 

A client approached me AFTER both HE and I had quit working for this one particular MTSO...I worked for him, she found out and tried to sue ME for $20K.

I sent her back a play $20K bill and told her that was about as much as her "lawsuit" was worth. Never heard another word from her.

I was asked that when applying for a job. I know it means file transfer protocol, but how the heck am I supposed to know how my audio files get transferred?

And I thought I was pretty gosh durn smart.

It depends on the rate in your area, but I would charge no less than .12 per 65 char line.  I think this rate is not too high and not too low.  You have be careful about charging too much as someone will undercut you.  Practicount is a line count program that will allow you to charge for headers, footers, bolded areas, underlines, and so on.  This way if you have to drop your price in order to get the client you can charge for other things that will make up the difference.

Good luck!!!
