somehow my jump drive got messed up. It asks me if I want to redo the drive. I don't know what happened. How do you work from the jump drive?

You need a jump drive, not PCA.
Put the files you need on a SECURE jump drive (flash drive, thumb drive, whatever you call it). You need FTP software, such as CuteFTP or Filezilla, to access the FTP site and transfer files.
Do yo mean a jump drive?sm
Those little keychain thingies? yeah, you can use one of those. They are wonderful. I use mine all the time.
A jump drive is the same as a USB drive. SM
It's basically a small device you plug into a USB port on your PC and you can store files on it (like the floppy disks of the old days but with WAAAAAAY more space!). You can pick them up at Wal-Mart now for pretty cheap. I have a 2 gig and I can back up my entire hard drive on my PC (programs and all) if I needed to.
shorthand on a jump drive
I work for a company that utilizes Meditech with its horrible, cumbersome canned text. I downloaded and started using ShortHand and it was like a revelation, how much faster and more efficient. My output shot up at least 20%.
Now the company says I have to use their computer... won't let me download shorthand... and I've tried to use a jump drive, but that doesn't work. Technician tells me there have to be some files installed already on the computer for the Shorthand-via-jump-drive idea to work.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to start working twice as hard for less money and the idea is unpalatable to say the least. I've gone into desperate mode.
TIA for any solutions, any other word Expander that'd work via a jump drive or whatever.
wish I could help with ur jump drive, but personally
.
The easiest things is to use a jump drive.
Use Windows Explorer to locate the voice files and then copy or move them to the jump drive. Jump drives are coming down in price. I just bought a whole bunch of 2GB drives for $19/each at Staples last week.
Maybe try restarting your computer? I have an external zip drive
most of my disks...had about 10, now only 2 work. They just don't seem to last long for some reason. Going to start using CDs as I have a recordable drive now. Feel like throughing my zip in the trash sometimes but I need it for my lap to in order to be able to easily transfer data from it to my desktop. Took me a half hour last night to retrieve a file I needed since it was acting up, got it eventually though...thought I'd have to resort to emailing it to myselft at one point in order to get it on my desktop. Pain in the butt.
Does your computer even recognize the flash drive? sm
It could be that the flash drive was not removed correctly the last time it was used and now the computer doesn't recognize it. A lot of the new flash drives use that annoying U3 program; you have to wait it to load completely before you can use the drive and you also need to use it to eject the flash drive before physically removing it from the computer. Also, make sure you're actually dragging it to the flash drive and not the U3 System, which shows as a separate drive in Windows Explorer (not IE).
Are you planning to move the external drive to the new computer?
If so, save whatever data you want to move on the external hard drive (you should already know what the letter drive is for that one). Connect it to the new computer. Easy enough.
Can anyone explain how to copy macros & autotext to another computer?
I did this one time years ago and can't remember how I did it. Thank you!
This is a very basic computer skill/concept. You copy files to another drive using Explorer.
There are very detailed instructions in the Help files that accompany Windows. You can read those for more information.
Basically, you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate the files you want to copy, highlight and right mouse click. Choose Copy. Now, find the location where you want to copy these files (usually another drive like D: or H:, whereever the flash/jump/thumb drive is located) and paste the files there.
this is a loaded ? sm
IMO, MedQuist is an excellent choice! And I know I'm gonna get flamed, but I don't care! I've been with MQ for over four years now and have been EXTREMELY happy with every aspect of my job. I'm always paid on time, never run out of work, have a nice coordinator, workflow is very helpful and friendly, and tech support is good, too! I have nothing to complain about and would highly recommend you give them a try.
And NO, I am not management, though wish I were! 
Wow. That truly seems like a loaded question to me.
I think it is fair business practice to determine what you pay your employees dependent on what your overhead and expenses are first of all, and secondly what your target profit values are.
I make just under 11 cpl at 2 different nationals, including my incentive bonuses. It is very good work and I am happy with that pay.
That is my experience though. I'm absolutely sure you will hear songs of a different tune from others.
Re: loaded question
I understand what you're saying, but keep in mind your initials are only related to the clerical aspect of the report, not the clinical one. No one looks at a report and connects the MT with the procedure. With that being said, I think you should do your job, which is to transcribe the reports, unless they are coming into your queue so often that it's genuinely affecting you emotionally. If that's the case, perhaps you need to change accounts, rather than cherry pick.
Re loaded question
I rarely post on forums, but will share with you a similar experience I had about 10 years ago. A facility I worked for had a physician on staff who routinely performed third trimester abortions. I found myself sobbing one day as I was transcribing the words "heavy crushing fetal forceps." I went straight to my supervisor and told her I would never do his work (or similar) again.
My client loaded my templates into their EMR and are now doing it themselves
I feel for you. My clients had me turn over all my templates/macros and loaded them into their system and are doing it themselves. This was after dishing out thousands and thousands of dollars in equipment and training additional staff. I was making $7,000 a month and now it is $65 a month if I am lucky.

I have a question that I realize could be pretty loaded.
I in no way want to spark a debate and I won't engage in one. I just have a moral situation and I ask that only those who have had similar experiences respond. As stated, no need for a debate. I am adamantly opposed to abortion for any reason. I don't condemn those who do or have had them, but I oppose abortion. I work for a national and just recently had a few abortion procedures to transcribe. I felt awful doing it. I was really torn between wanting to cherry pick past those (which I feel would be perfectly acceptable to do while letting a supervisor know why), but didn't. I just feel like a real hypocrite that my initials are now attached to an abortion procedure that I do not support. I just wondered if anyone ever found themselves in this situation and what, if anything, did you do about it. Now, this is about abortion only. I'm sure many of you could jump in and say you're against gastric bypass but you still transcribe those, etc. I respect others' views. This happens to be strictly about this situation and in an effort to avoid ugliness by way of a debate, I respectfully request that you only respond if you have dealt with this situation specifically. Thank you and God bless!
I bought a Vista-loaded system and I have tried to
work now for several companies but Vista is incompatible with their platforms.
I HATE IT.
I loaded my old PRD files into Instant Text
I still had PRD on my old Windows 98 computer and the Instant Text folks told me how to save my files and upload them into Instant Text when I changed over to a new computer. I was very happy about that. It corrupted a few of them but after editing them they worked fine.
Hands down, PRD was the best. Shame they didn't keep it updated as Windows changed. It was set up to work in word patterns, making it easier to remember abbreviation names. I've set up IT the same when making new additions.

MediFast is just like SlimFast - can't take either as they are loaded with Iodine and I am allerg
However, I have seen results from both. It is hard to keep the weight off or maintain it once you start eating food again.
I worked for a physician who specialized in the MediFast program. The initial results were good, but the patients had a very hard time maintaining it and gained some back.
I tried it. No dice here. It looked like it loaded but the sound would cut in and out. Too frustrati

Hey, don't jump all over me....
I DID keep my kids at home while I worked. However, to not help someone become "aware" of the potential stressors isn't realistic. This original poster is a single mother, not exactly an easy situation to be under the best of circumstances. I was married and not under pressure to produce an income to live off of. I also did not work set hours, I had a situation that allowed me to work whenever I could. Again, not always the way it is, especially when your choices are limited by being a newbie and having to take any job you might be offered. Yes, lots of people do this BECAUSE they want to be home with kids, myself included, but to make it sound easy to care for small children AND learn a completely new field of work, WHILE being a single mother just isn't fair. It's not that she's being discouraged, just enlightened, which is what she asked for. Reality, not candy coating.
Just had to jump in on this one
After living with an alcoholic ex-husband for 20 years, I don't think this is labeling. I think it is a reality. He was a functional drunk. In other words, he managed to fool the people around him at work that didn't know him well enough or didn't work with him closely. Those that were close enough to him to see him on a daily basis could see that he only fooled himself into thinking that it didn't impair him. He would use the same reasoning you just did and say that it affects every person differently and some have a higher tolerance. My point to him is the same as yours: if it starts affecting your everyday life then it IS impairing your judgment. If you can't even wait a few hours until the workday is over to have your drink and feel you have to make excuses for why you're drinking on the job, then you're judgment is already impaired before you even take the drink. I don't think it matters if you're a doctor, bus driver, MT, or zookeeper, you are being PAID for your skills and time while on the job. Save your drinks for recreation. If you can't, then either you have a problem with it or you don't respect those who will receive your finished product or those who employ you.
Think about it....if you were on a job interview and the interviewer asked if you had a problem with drinking on the job, would you honestly tell that person, "no, I think it's okay to drink in moderation" and then expect to be hired?

Jump on it sm
Forget the miles stuff, outsourcing is in, line money is down. You will make it up in that you will be getting used to the dictators, etc. and pick up speed. I would rather do one hospital than multiple other accounts. It will go fast after awhile, Keep a few small people in case this does not work out for some reason, at least you will have some small money coming in. I say go for it and accept the 12 cents or India will steal it from you at half the price. From the voice of experience, I would go with the hospital at .12 CPL, not a bad deal!
Jump for joy!
The BOS means nothing. What your account wants does.
Let me jump in, I know what you're getting at here..
Oh, long about the time Tom Cruise came on the scene as a very young actor, the hunks all seemed to be the shaven, hairless chest, short, prety boy actors. Not that they ARE'NT men, it's just that they LOOK like young teenage boys. Ben Affleck is another one. Good looking, but boyishly so. Compared to Tom Selleck, Sean Connery, Sly Stallone, Arnold Swarzenegger, and those types, these guys all like like "girly men" as Arnold would say.
Seems to me some people are just too willing to jump into

I would rather jump off a cliff!
All you get is lies, so would do no good.
JUMP code
I need to insert a "code" so I can jump from one place to another in document. using WORD 2002 XP. I had a macro set up for this and lost it and have tried to make another one, but when I try to do any macro Microsoft Visual Basics pops up. It will not allow me to assign anything to the keyboard...ANYONE? TIA

Has anyone ever had their tax assessment jump 50%
because they have chosen to work at home doing IC medical transcription? This may not be why, my DH is down to the TA office right now to find out why they jumped it this much. That's enough that we could have added 2 rooms to our house. DH thinks they may be doing this with the assessments locally so that in a few years they can raise the tax rate and say, "Well we haven't raised taxes in x years." It's a load of bull either way, so wondered if anyone else has had this happen to them. Thanks.
I would jump on B in a heartbeat
Not much frustration there.
just had a big ground hog jump on....sm
my glass storm door, at my front door. Just happened to see it happen, and scared me to death. They are such big ugly, rat on steroid looking creatures! Now, I've convinced myself that it's rabid and going to get me if I step outside. News last night said they had 4 dogs found with rabies in a city about 15-20 miles from us, so...?? I just think it is so strange that it jumped on my door. Yuck!
Jump Codes
In Word -- go to View - toolbars - check forms. Now on your top toolbar you should see a little box with 'ab' and a check mark next to it. Put your cursor where you want the jump code and click on the 'ab.' Jump code will come in.
Where is the JUMP TO button?
I no longer have the boards on the left either, and have tried all of the fixes suggested by MTStars. I did see a JUMP TO feature when I checked out a message posted on one of the state boards a couple of days ago, but it only allowed for jumping to another state. Would really like to be able to use this feature. TIA for any help!
I would jump at the chance....

Why are you asking? I am about to jump ship here too
A post today was taken off twice for no reason really. They blanked out places just because I was asking about what company now did so and so work. I worked for the hospital before and wanted to hook up again. They are being overboard on these matters.
