Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.

No, the Works "Suite" has a full version of Word... sm
that is compatible. It's the plain Works version that usually comes installed on new computers that uses a different file format and is not compatible. You just have to be careful that you are buying the Suite.
Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
Yes the Works Suite is a full version - sm
of MS Word not an upgrade. It just has a lot of other programs most people don't use. I only use the MS Word program and do not install any of the suite stuff as it is.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

Anything that works with Word..NM

Word comes with Works as an add-in.
Look in the discs that came with your computer. You should already have it.
It works within the Word
Program you already have on your computer. It pulls up and opens your word, so any Autotext, etc. you have, you can still use. Hope this helps!
If you got Works alone, you don't have Word, just the
Works word processor. It looks like Word but doesn't have all the features of the full version. Full versions of Word only come with the Works Suites and the latest version of the Suite only goes to Word 2002.
Smartype only works in DOS WP5.1 and MS-Word
and if you are trying to use Smartype in a cottage program that has stripped out some of Word's features, Smartype will behavior improperly or not at all. It will also behavior improperly in MS-Word 2003 due to a change Word made that is not compatible with Smartype. Last time I talked to Joe, Stedman was not making this fix a priority so I reinstalled MS-Word 2000 to avoid the conflict.
MS Works and MS Word are NOT compatible. SM
If you do a document in MS Works and try to open it as an MS Word document all you will get is machine code. So if you are transcribing for someone who wants the files and they have MS Word, they will not be able to do anything with them (except pull their hair out).
MS Word is included in MS Works now sm
What Dell probably met was that MsWorks includes a full version of MS Word. It's the less expensive way to get Word without having to buy Ms Office. The student version of MS Office cannot be upgraded, btw, so don't get that.
No, I do not have Word, Just Works that does not count spaces.

Wanting to buy used Word,(is this legal? ) only have works.

I use CS and ST, works great. The CS that I use is actual Word -sm
I have heard that Chartscript net, which is the newer version, is different - more like a box that you type in instead of actual Word. I have worked for 2 places using CS now, and it implements the actual Word program. As long as it's not Chartscript net, you should be okay. When working, we're told to open our own version of Word first before we even log into CS because it will save anything there if the report you are working on is lost somehow. When I type in CS, which looks just like my Word, ST is up and running right in CS, just like when typing in my own Word program. No problems with it at all. I know what you mean.....I would haaate to work without ST too. Hope it works out for you!
I have Word 2003. works spiffy.
I do have the small office version.
Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
google works wonders as does word board......nm

You'd be limiting yourself. It only works in MS Word 2000 & 2002.
Lots of people have had problems getting Smartype to work in Word 2003 and you can forget 2007. It doesn't work in different platforms either. You'd be much better off looking at ShortHand or Instant Text.
What Word program works best with Vista? Has to be less than 2007. nm

Smartype only works in specific Word versions.
You want an Expander that works in all programs and a lot of platforms, such as Instant Text or Shorthand.
This is funny blaming it on Microsoft. SmartType only works in Word and they need to keep up with
nm
What is the version of word for windows that works best for you? Still working off 2000.

No. EditScript works fine with my 2003 Word version. sm
It is ExText with Word 2000 that I am worried about interfering with my EditScript from eScription.
Sorry that happened to you. I have been running Word 2003 with eScription for about 4 years now. Everything works great!
Email works fine with my Word docs are open...
it just doesn't work when ChartScript is open.
No, the Works Suite 2003 and 2005 have Word 2002.

Thanks XXX. I found a "Microsoft Works Word Processor". You say I save those as files?
I do have a CD drive so if I can buy WORD like you mention, I can load it.
Do you think it would be beneficial in the long run to invest in WORD (maybe buy it at BEST BUY or something) and load it on my computer? I am going to be doing lots of work, so better to use as good a program as I can as far as being able to SAVE stuff - There will be lots of opportunities for macros (or saving paragraphs, etc). Whatever the term is these days to mean: saving lots of words, LOL.
You don't need to close Word after checking the auto numbering option. It works right away. nm

Well, Word is easy to buy and easy to install. Word 97 works great. Cheap. SM
I still would not work anywhere I could not use a spell checker with grammar checker and a Steadman's Medical Spell Checker.
IF they want people to TRANSCRIBE MEDICAL REPORTS, then I guess they better get the programs they need.
It's like probably 110% easier to buy and install Word 97 than to try to program their own programming. And, yes, I do mean Microsoft Word 97. Why? Because you can install it unlimited times, in case you need to install the operating system again. And it has a few features that Microsoft, in its un-wisdom, took away in Word 2000 and 20003 and 2007. So, yes, I'd go with Word 97 for its cheapness and it works better than the later versions. Just my opinion, with 20 years experience being an MT. So what if they "don't have it" on their computer? It's easy to get.
Emdat works with Instant Text Por V - ony version that works with Emdat - nm

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

this works at least for
fire ants, probably for most any I would think. Just sprinked around some QUICK grits, (not the slow cooking kind). What happens is the worker ants take the grits to the queen, she eats the grits and blows up; usually the ants move on....I had to do this several times over the years and have never been disappointed. Good luck to you.
Maybe she works because she needs to
not because she thinks the transcription world can't make it without her. That's what I do. I do occasionally take a day off (very occasionally, but I work lots of weekends and lots of holidays because, simply put, it pays the bills and puts food on the table. 
They want you to know something is in the works.

Here's how ASR works
ASR is NOT more production than when we were just doing MT work before. I like ASR because it is a variation in muscles used, NOT because of productivity. I have gone DOWN 10% in overall production since the induction of DEP/ASR. They say I have gone up 50%. It is not short to explain but I will try to brief it- They are taking a 1 week period from this summer and comparing the production of your MT against your ME work for that week. This does NOT show what your production has increased since you are an ME. An account with ASR puts all the well spoken dictators on ASR and leaves the more inaudible speakers on transcription. If they were to take production from the yearly quarter before DEP/ASR started and compare it to the most current quarter completed - That would be more accurate. This is another set up for failure or a carefully concocted tactic for MQ to make us think our production is going up!
DD only works
if the company you work for offers it, though. What's even worse than a late mailman is the idiot at headquarters who didn't mail the check on time.
Works?
I have Word 2003 that came with MS Works. I use the Word count with spaces and divide by 65. Mine has a count with spaces and one without. Is this not what you mean?
Don't do it. No one really works that way
anymore if they are legit. I would really doubt this. Lines is what most of us work by. You can do lots by bytes to hide things. Years ago they had an article in AAMT when I used to read it about just this very thing. I don't know if you can find someone with an issue of it or not. I have no idea when I saw it but it was an interesting article comparing how our work is measured. This one was the last one that they would recommend.
works better for me than others..
Cymbalta has a more subtle affect than others. I take it in combination with Welbutrin and have been on this combination for about six months... I was on Celexa before that, which was horrible. Weight gain and unobtainable orgasm with that one...I seem less overwhelmed on my current combination, also with Xanax for STAT relief.
My kid works at
My kid works at Burger King for a part-time job while in college. Been there since he turned 15, so almost six years now. If he could talk to you, he would tell you to work any place but there. Yes, they start you off at $6.50 to $7.00 per hour and guarantee four raises the first year; however, after six years, he is now making $7.95 an hour (with excellent evaluations). Get ready to work Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc. Get ready to be dumped on by lazy managers who don't want to do their job and can make you do their job for them. Get ready to have customers curse you because another employee screwed up your order. Get ready to have cameras watching your every move. Get ready to clean toilets after filthy customers who don't care if they trash the restroom stall. Get ready to mop floors several times per shift. Get ready to come home stinking to high heaven because of the grease, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, etc, that is all over your uniforms. And, before I forget, get ready to do laundry on those greasy uniforms every day because you only qualify for one uniform the first thirty days.
Give up medical transcription? Never -- even though the doctors never say, "Thank you for a job well done." I'll take the deadlines, the stress, the competition and the back pain if for no other benefit than the fact that I still smell good after I finish my shift.  Don't forget the extra pounds you'll get at Burger King -- I do believe just inhaling that stuff puts on the pounds.
It works for me
See, I don't have enough expenses/deductions to qualify to itemize on my income tax. When you are an IC, your tax burden may be less because you can offset it with home office space, books, software, hardware, etc. Maybe you own your own house and/or have children to claim on your taxes. Maybe you are married and have a supplement income (all thes things are none of my business, just listing things  )
Anyway, my point is this: If I need an appendectomy tomorrow and need 6 weeks off, since I don't have anyone to support me and I don't have any savings, then PTO, STD and LTD covers my income so I can recover without worrying about losing income or possessions.
It's all different strokes for different folks. See, I also just started with this company a few months ago. On my last job after 5 years, I was making more than $50,000 as I did MT and worked as a certified coder for a hospial also. My income always goes up each year after I start new accounts 
here's how it works
You have to have high-speed internet to use Vonage, either cable modem or DSL through your phone line. Vonage sends you a router box which connects to your internet and then you can hook up a phone line in the back of it so that your calls are being made essentially over the internet instead of the traditional method, so I plug my C-phone phone cord into the Vonage box and use it for calling to access dictation. This is my home office, but out in other places in my house I have my regular phones connected to the jacks in the wall and just use the same number I've always had for regular calls. I keep the 2 lines because I couldn't get a local phone number with Vonage. However, in a lot of areas your phone number will transfer and you can eliminate your regular phone bill all together if you just want to use the Vonage phone service, but it's your choice. Hope that made sense.
What works for me.....
I type approximately 1800 to 2000 lines a day. I heavily use my Autocorrect in Word and start off with a saved template which has all the general headings that my ortho doc uses. Then, I just basically fill in the blanks!
what works for me---
I ask them to once. then, I sit back and wait awhile, usually a couple of days. I don't nag, I don't complain, I don't bitch and moan- I've found it to be a waste of time & energy-- I jump right into stark raving crazy, to the point that they worry about my sanity and the safety of their body parts --works every time ;) (you'll probably need to use that technique only once tho')
What works for me
I will try to explain this stretch as best I can as I am not finding a picture of it. I was told that the reason I have this chronic pain is because I spend my days with my shoulders turned in a little (while typing). I was told the best way to fix this is to do the opposite sort of stretch which is stand in a doorway and put each hand on the sides of the frame about shoulder height, then lean forward and hold. I do this a few times a day and I swear it has been a miracle for me. I was also told to stand and raise both arms straight above my head and then gently lean backward - I can't do this very far yet but I am getting more flexible all the time. Hope this helps at least one person!
What works best for me is
to listen to the relaxing tapes of rain and the ocean and etc. I have tried sleeping pills for years and nothing has ever really worked, but this is the best for me.
What works for me is..
melatonin and 5-HTP. I take one tablet of each at bedtime and sleep like a lamb. I used to take a Benadryl tablet each night which also worked but then you have a slight "hangover". Also, although it's not habit forming, I wasn't comfortable with the idea. The melatonin and 5-HTP really help with sleep and lower anxiety, as well. They can be purchased at health food stores, but I got mine on ebay for a very good price. My husband and I both notice nothing but a positive effect. Good luck!
You tell her. That's what I did, and it works. (sm)
You mothers of boys, heed this. My DIL once told me she was amazed that my son could take care of himself, even knew how to run the washing machine.  True story.
Here's how it works...
I've never heard such a thing.
Once a person gets their real estate license, they are free to work for any Realtor they choose and for any Realtor who is willing to take them on. The catch is like starting out in any field, they are a newbie,so they can expect to work their behinds off - try to sell houses 24/7 - and make a pittance of a commission split until they get experience (experience = # of house sales) under their belt, at which time their commission split increases.
Here's an example of how it would work:
Newbie Sue goes to work for Coldwell Banker selling homes. She lists a home for $300,000.00 at 6% commission, and an agent from ABC Realty finds the buyer and sells it. Total commission is $18,000.00. (Note: This is why it's important that you concentrate on listing instead of running all over town with buyers. When you get a listing and when/if it sells, you are guaranteed a commission - this is not the case when working with buyers as buyers are very fickle and not loyal to agents AT ALL!) Anyway....
ABC Realty and their agent get half of the commission - 3% - or $9K - half of the total $18K total commission - and that 3% is split between ABC Realty and the agent, according to their agreement.
Let's say Newbie Sue and Coldwell Banker agree that because she is new with not much experience under her belt and because the Realtor will be basically baby sitting her in her dealings/closings/open houses for a few months until she gets the hang of everything involved, plus pay for all of her home advertising, etc., she will get a 30 percent cut, so Coldwell Banker's split is 9K, and 30 percent of that goes to Newbie Sue or $2,700.00, with Coldwell Banker getting the remainder.
If Newbie Sue lists AND sells the home (finds her own buyer) then she and her realtor get the whole cut of the pie -$18K, and then they split that according to their agreemtn splint - in this case 30% or $5,400.00 would go to Newbie Sue,with the remainder going to her Realtor, Coldwell Banker. This is called a double whammy - the listing agent gets the whole commission pie, but double whammys don't happen that often. Anyway, that's why it's important to get as many sales as you can under your belt because your split with your Realtor will be higher; i.e 75% perhaps.
If a real estate agent goes to work for an operatoin like Re-Max, they get the whole piece of the pie when the house sells; however, they have to pay "rent" to ReMax for their office space plus pick up the entire tab for all their newspaper/magazine advertising, which is FAR from cheap, so that's why when one goes to work for a Re-Max Agency, one had better know what they're doing or the cost of doing business will sink their ship real fast (unless they have a deep reserve.)
Hope this makes sense....
it works for me
For autocorrect I click Alt+T and then A. Its a very fast habit to pick up. And you can do Control+F9 to insert markers and then use Fll to jump to each marker. Works with my Word version.
What works for me
I don't need to look at account specs every single time, just a refresher about a couple of items usually.
I made a table on a Word document with the most important aspects for all accounts then listed information to refresh my memory for each account in a column. I left a few columns blank for any additional accounts I gain later.
Then, I printed it off, and took it to Kinko's and had it blown up to just below a poster size.
It is hanging right next to my desk and I just need to glance at it (not even turn my head) to see if this account uses patient names or if that account uses special headings, etc.
No books. No taking my hands off the keyboard. Just a "tickler" file on the wall!
Works for me
I got my Bachelor's degree right out of high school and worked my way into management positions with a company that manufactured ultrasound equipment, and later on a large public home health agency and after that, a hospital. I made good money, got very good benefits, and also spent my (long) days dealing with very stressful situations and unhappy people. Now I have a family and have no desire whatsoever to go back to that. As an MT I am making less money, with fewer benefits, but I truly enjoy what I do. There are tradeoffs in everything. I have a flexible schedule, am here for my kids, and have very little on-the-job stress. The trade offs are worth it for me. I'm glad I went into MT and I'm not going to waste my energy worrying about whether MT is going down the tubes. They were saying that 17 years ago when I was hiring MTs, and there are still plenty of jobs available.
