Jumping in here .....
But I just wanted to say that I know very well where both Rome and Douglasville are -- I'm in Cedartown !!
JUMPING
Change your macro or Expander to include a destructive backspace.

Also, if you do not use those fields to type on you can simply hit Alt + A then ctrl + shift + F9 and it will turn all the field codes to test instead of having to go delete them all.
No hoop jumping
I said nothing about specific companies, nothing about cpl. It was mentioned having to sit for days with no work and to that I say, then why stay? Keep one job while you look for another, but there is no reason to stay with a company that has no work. And while we are at it, why do so many people say "Tell me a good company that pays well." Do you want someone else to write your resume and do the work for you, too. Check out ALL the MT boards, Google for jobs, send out resumes, make phone calls. As has been said a million times on this board, a good job for one will not necessarily be a good job for another. Just don't sit staring at an empty screen, waiting for the MT fairy to drop jobs in your lap. Last I heard, her job was sent to India.
Jumping in topic....
A third of my work is radiology and the rest is basic four reports. I prefer doing rad because of the fast pace. It's a small hospital with a rotating doctor and I do anywhere from 50 to 150 (this is not counting combined reports) reports a day which only takes a couple of hours of my day. Would really like to do more rad but afraid of the committment it would mean. Any suggestions?
Ctl + F9 works for me, then F11 does the jumping
Have you taken MT courses yet? Or are you just jumping in on your own? nm

You are right. I guess I'm jumping the gun. It
just really upset me. I'll be shocked if it's NOT true, but stranger things have happened. Time will tell.
I'm jumping in a day late.
I just wanted to second that dogs don't do well with berber. My dog loosened one loop while chewing/playing with something (I can't remember whether it was a treat or toy). When he realized what he'd done, he then proceeded to pull it until I had a huge run in the carpet dead center in the room. We've never had behavior problems with him since we got him, but he didn't know any better and kept right on going. I vowed never to get berber again after that.
jumping around in word doc
Is there anyway that you can jump around in a word document? Meaning say if i have a template set up with all these headings is there a way just to put a * or something after the heading and be able to hit shortcut keys to jump right to that spot so I could start typing. THANKS FOR THE HELP!
Why is everyone jumping all over her post?
I don't believe she mentioned that she believes there is anything wrong with prayer. I think she was surprised to hear this being dictated. It is surprising! I have never come across such a statement in my entire career. It doesn't mean that prayer between patient and physician does not happen, it just is unusual that it is being dictated...that's all.
Jumping to fields
Hi everyone! For years I have been jumping to fields in Word by using the F11 key. Does anyone know if I can customize my keyboard to use alt/c to jump around and how to set that up?
Thanks!
Those jumping on you are jealous, that's all.
I think when some people got into transcription, they figured it would be easier than it is. It's a real job that you have to concentrate on at all times. I don't answer the phone, my husband knows not to bug me and when my kids were still at home they knew not to bother mom while she's working.
This is still a great career for me. I get as much work as I want and make as much money as I want.
Again - Someone jumping to conclusions
Is it that they can not comprehend what they read? This post was an effort at encouragement to some, not all. Again, someone takes a sentence out of context, turns it into something else, just so they can be this rude. No some may not want out of this business. It is all they have left. What she was encouraging was that if you are still young enough, why not start searching for another passion if this one has been taken away from you? I don't think the message was too hard to comprehend. If you want to "vent" (if that is what some call it), please do not do it to people who do not deserve this.
There you go jumping to conclusions.
above.
I seems strange that clients would be jumping
ship when the TAT time is pretty much up to the minute. You would think transcriptionists would be jumping ship instead. I don't believe the clients are jumping ship.
I really don't have any problem jumping accounts
A bit time delaying at first to learn the specifics and keeping the client profile open for referrence.
The only thing I hate is when I'm literally changing accounts with every other report and realize (usually as I hit send) that I did things on that report that is the standard from the account previously ie: number med list versus not...using 1. vs 1) etc.
Woops. I am so sorry for jumping the gun like that. Didn't know. Sorry! :(

You are certainly jumping to conclusions. I assure you sm
I would not send anyone to AAMT for any reason.
I think alot of people are jumping to --sm
conclusions here about the whole situation, including yourself. You do not know that just because she gave your husband's friend a ride home, that anything happened between them. Since she already had his friends cell number, perhaps he simply left something in her car and she wanted to return it. It could be totally innocent on everybodies parts. She may not even be aware he is married. But any way, that all is between your husband's friend and her. Since your husband told you about it in the first place, I think there is nothing to worry about in that respect. However, your over reaction to it will probably change things between you and him, and calm open communication is the only thing that may change that back. You already crossed the line with a jealous outburst, and perhaps will never be able to cross back. He will always see you in a different light now, and that you possibly do not trust him, and he will be very careful about what he tells you in the future. I have learned through experience that jealousy, anger, and mistrust are the quickest ways to drive your husband to find someone else. Secondly, if there IS an affair going on between the friend and this woman...it is none of your business. Don't confront the friend..don't confront the other woman...and definitely do not call the wife to tell her. If there is an affair going on, she will find out on her own, but if you stick your nose in, and they patch things up between them, you will have lost a friend for yourself, and your husband. Stay out of it. I definitely think you need to sit down with your husband and calmly talk about this. Tell him that you are sorry for over reacting and that you DO trust him. That is the most important. Never bring up the phone call again. Never ask for the number. He probably feels that you will interfere in something that is not your concern and that is why he does not want you to have it...not because something is going on. He thinks you will embarrass him. that is all. Don't start making waves when you are the one who would end up losing in the long run. Trust me...I know. I was jealous and suspicious of my ex husband and all of his female friends. I reacted to every situation with jealousy and anger, and tried to FORCE him to stay with me. If they want to go, you can't stop them from going. I ended up losing him because I drove him away with mistrust and jealousy. He is married to her now, and I hope they are very happy together. I am not angry and I am not bitter. I did it to myself and I take full responsibility for that. I just do not want to see it happen to anyone else, because it can be avoided simply by how you approach things. Take care and good luck to you.
Cannot remember macro for jumping
I need a macro for Word 2003 to jump to ?? as the next field and, even though I've done this before, I cannot for the LIFE of me remember how to do it. 
Any clues? THANKS in advance!
Microsoft Word margin jumping
Hello. I've had this happen before when opening MS Word and suddenly the curser jumps to the very top of the page and not at the usual 1" margin that I have set at. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't remember how I did it last time. It just started doing this again. I've checked my margins and they are fine in page set up.Thanks.
That's hilarious, hiring bonus. Everyone jumping ship?

I'm afraid if you posted anything on here, people will just start jumping -
down your throat. People on this board, unfortunately, are notorious for that. Hopefully, you are working for a better company now and not dealing with the MQ problems and accounts.
If you have the knees for it, jumping rope slims fast.
Jumping rope is effective because it doesn't build a lot of muscle bulk in the thighs, which many women don't want. You get calf definition and it works your core muscles, arms, and especially your heart and lungs. The effect is very slimming.
But I also saw a study that said men slim fastest with aerobic exercise, and surprisingly, women slim down fastest if they do strength training in addition to aerobics. Weird, hey?
They're great! Lots of sweating, jumping, dancing. Fun! I just ordered more. nm

Need to get up every 2 hours and take some sort of break. Food, dog walk, jumping jacks, laundry,
.
Why am I not surprised.

Wow! I am surprised
When I vacuum every week with my Fantom, I can dump the cannister up to three times (and no we are not filthy-lol) while vacuuming our one story ranch home, about 1600 square feet, and we get a LOT of dog hair (and our dogs are on very high quality dog food that is expensive and take supplements/vitamins for their skin/coats) as well as dust and debris, and always have had hair from the three Shih Tzu we have. I know they don't shed nearly as much as most dogs do though.
When I purchased my my first Fantom, I used a Hoover vacuum that I owned at the time and did a room with it and then used my Fantom and what the Fantom picked up was incredible.
I asked for the experience of someone who have used both to compare fairly the Fantom with the Dyson and your experience sounds very impressive! I really appreciate your input.
Thanks so much.
You'd be surprised
The 'Oprah' show for example. Many people who are big fans of hers order transcripts for 'keepsakes' or 'souveniers' so to speak. This is compounded, like if a guest like Tom Cruise or other celebrities appear, fans of these people will order a transcript for the same reason. I have a relative who worked there for a few years who gave me some insight on this. There are many many people who could care less about tapes and DVD's. They prefer the transcript.
Not surprised :). nm

I'm surprised you'd ask......
your job is to flag discrepancies. Your job is to get the record straight. Your job is NOT to guess or assume. But you already knew that, didn't you?
Well can't say I'm surprised, look
at the President. How smart does he come across? And what about the voters that voted him in? What's their excuse. Very sad when American is on the downslide from being the world leader.
I was surprised at
Taylor's performance - almost pitiful. Liked Chris - I LOVE that song. Thought Paris was very cute and I loved her little bucaneer outfit, I liked her hair that way also.
surprised no one said...
The Wizard of Oz... Maybe Gone with the Wind and Imitation of Life... I love tearjerkers!
surprised?
According to People magazine, Star said she was told her contract was not going to be renewed for the 10th season. She has apparently known this for awhile but just felt today was the time to let the audience know. She told People she felt she had basically been fired. Guess it really will be a new direction for the view this fall.
You might be surprised (sm)
Lots of crummy ESLs say the same phrases over and over again, and once you know what they are saying, you have a standard (free lines!) The hospital I work for is about 80% ESLs and I have some form of standard for nearly all of them. There is one Indian cardiologist who comes to mind. Any time someone asks me what department I work in, and I tell them transcription, they say, "Oh, how can you understand Dr. So and So? I always hear him dictating and he talks sooooo fast." And yes, it is true. He does talk fast, but everything he says, whether it is on the past history, PE, ROS, consent, he very routinely says a lot of the same phrases. He is terrific lines!
I guess you are in a position where you can say who you will type for and who you won't. Good for you. I don't know anyone that fortunate. Most of us just need a paycheck and we take what we can get, like it or not. 
You'd Be Surprised...
At just what kids are getting pierced these days. Ouch!
Not surprised!
I'm not surprised it knocks you out. I took amitriptyline for about 15 years. It is calming in itself, but the other drug is a benzo, like Valium:
What are Amitriptyline; Chlordiazepoxide tablets? (Back to top)
AMITRIPTYLINE; CHLORDIAZEPOXIDE (Limbitrol®, Limbitrol® DS) is a combination tricyclic antidepressant and benzodiazepine used to treat depression. This medicine can lift your spirits by treating your depression, especially if it is associated with anxiety. Federal law prohibits the transfer of this medicine to any person other than the patient for whom it was prescribed. Do not share this medicine with anyone else. Generic amitriptyline; chlordiazepoxide tablets are available.
not surprised
Well I suspected as much.. but hadn't heard anything about that so I couldnt say. LOL
You surprised me!
I was braced to hear a derogatory and/or nasty post but was instead pleasantly surprised to read a constructive, nonaccusatory post.
You have certainly given us some information to think about, and I do appreciate your post.
I am surprised
lots of people don't use Expanders extensively? No expanders, no $$. I (not fondly) remember the days of typing everything single thing out.
Wow!! Why are you surprised? sm
There are so many different personalities that nothing surprises me anymore.
I probably wouldn't hire her either.
Just go with your gut feeling and hire who you think would be the best candidate. Good luck!
I'm not surprised at all!
AAMT (by whatever name it chooses) has ALWAYS been about making money. I remember when my Iowa Chapter was begun. Anyone with 5 or more years' experience could be grandfathered in. I only had 2 years under my belt, but a couple of transcriptionists with whom I worked had over 10 years each. One was an extremely talented Transcriptionist and most likely would have aced the CMT test. However, the other one was just awful (examples of misspellings: payed, recieve, intellagent....so you can imagine the errors in the medical terminologh). Not only was her work not up to par, but she only transcribed the easiest doctors and even at that only produced 12 to 13 reports in an 8-hour shift (average was 20 to 25).
Needless to say, I was very skeptical of an organization that used the grandfather clause. After all, wasn't this supposed to be the stamp of excellence? Can you imagine the nursing profession allowing someone who took care of ill family members for a few years to be able to put the RN initials behind their name? This is why I felt it utterly unnecessary to become a member. I wasn't the only one who felt that way, either. It really looked like they were money hungry, and as long as you were a paying body (who typed a couple of letters per day for a few years), you could have your CMT. I felt no need to pay a couple of hundred dollars to belong to the organization that just allowed membership without testing to an extremely incompetent transcriptionist.
About 10 years later, I did become credentialed. The test was done in 2 parts at that time (written and practical). I passed and became a member. I kept up the CUs for several years, but then let it expire because even though I enjoyed the symposiums, I still didn't feel the initials had great meaning (I mean, how would people know I wasn't grandfathered in?) More importantly, I didn't receive increased pay at my job, and the cost of keeping the CMT active outweighed the information obtained at the workships and seminars.
AAMT (ADHI) and whatever they decide to call themselves in the future has in my opinion always been about the money. This isn't the first (and probably not the last) time they've thrown the (American) transcriptionist under the bus.
We were surprised as
well. I am still in shock.
JD, you'd be surprised....sm
...how many MTs do just that--knowingly put in wrong info, out of laziness or just for the sake of faster production. I used to see it all the time, and times have probably not changed that much. Unprofessional but true.
I am quite a bit surprised
that you say think priorities about work but not family. When they lay be in my grave, I hope my family will not have to say *Geez, I wish I got to see her more, she was such a worker*
The reason there is no work on my shift anymore is not because there are no doctors dictating at that time, it is solely because it is in foreign hands. So, I should adjust my family life and work life to work around people in another land? Apparently they are not forced to work nights and weekends but I should be forced to?
My opinion is that for the past 12 years with this company, my schedule was awesome and I volunteered every weekend, but now being forced to comit to a schedule of nights and weekends after they gave my accounts away.... FAT CHANCE. I will find an American Company and continue working my schedule and giving my family the best of me!
It does nothing for you to bow down to your supervisor every time they call... after 12 years of doing just that, they sold my job out. Now I KNOW where my priorities are, and that is not at work.
Surprised you just figured this out.
Not trying to be nasty or anything, I just thought it has been broadcast so many times. The people of means (AKA - the ones who worked) left the city when the evacuation order went out. The others had to stay there and rely on the mayor who would not take them out in school buses, he wanted air conditioned Greyhounds. Please, give me a break. His head ought to roll with Michael Brown's, AND the governor's.
You shouldn't be surprised
Anybody can get a husband. You are a perfect example of that. I'm not going to settle for just anybody like you did. Just in case you couldn't tell, I have standards.
I am surprised the IC was let go after just one day of a TAT problem.
