GRAY TYPE MAKING ME BLUE
Posted By: mcMcFingers on 2008-03-15

A gray type keeps showing up on documents I type in word. If I highlight the whole document the font and style boxes in the toolbar will say the same font and style for the whole document but there is still a gray text here and there. I think it might somehow be in an autotext I use. I even remove all formatting when I am done and then reformat it but it will still show up occasionally after that. It is driving me nuts. Has anyone ever heard of a glitch like this? I could try not using any autotext but I would lose way too much time.

Is it gray highlighting or is the text actually gray?
The highlighting would mean that the text is in a field and that doesn't print, it just shows on your screen. You can turn that display off Tools.
Your best bet is your local Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield company, depending on where you live
Here in Idaho, we have both companies but a lot of other states have BC/BS combined. Our family has a policy through Regence Blue Shield that is $196 for my husband and three kids. It has a $25 office copay and it is a limited policy, which is 12 office visits a year and lab up to $300. It works great for us because we never got to the doctor, yet we have it if we need it.
I have an individual policy for major medical, $35 office copay, with our local Blue Cross and it is $59 a month for me and it has prescription coverage too. Not a bad deal. I think they are your best bet for decent coverage at a good price.
Blue Cross/Blue Shield or Mutual of Omaha - Which company pays off claims the best w/o hassle?

No, its gray
No, the text is actually gray and shows up when it is printed. I'm starting to think it is the autotext for some reason I can't figure out so I guess I'll get an Expander when I can afford it.
Gray's Anatomy
I have not watched it yet, I did tape it. I will watch tonight. I understand, I am totally addicted to that show. I never want it to end!
Oh, my, now it' a pic of a gray-haired man

DAVID GRAY and tiramisu.
I exercise my gray matter more than most..sm
so I believe it's from having TOO MUCH ON YOUR PLATE.....*l* - really, more responsibilities, more things to remember......all that stuff.....so who would remember typing the report.
What's great is....if someone down the road ASKED you about that certain report(s), MQ, QA, or an MD's office....you'd most certainly remember it......*LOL*
So, it's only the short-term memory that is affected FIRST *l* - that and the eyes.......first to go *rofl* 
sigh...another report to add gray to the head
Doing a psych eval on a patient I really got caught up in, one of those sad cases that can get to you, feelingbad for the family, traumatic brain injury after an MVA, 23 with 1 yr old twins....has not been the same since, hence needed a psych consult on admission. IF I typed this phrase once I typed it 20 times "patient very highly distressed and anxious"....well so was I by the time I spend 45 minutes for 68 lines ...nope, not ESL, but all American good ol boy, must have had a beard, can't figure out what the static & noise was, but noticed when he blew my ear drums out it was there,,,when he strained them, it was'nt..not sure why he felt he had to whisper on parts then break the sound barrier on others anyway...signed off before another one of HIS reports..geez!
I used to have a cat named Dorothy too. She was gray and white.

That's not her problem. Gray text is "here and there."

sure i was. i'm making fun of the people who are making a case for background checks, etc
to do medical transcription at home as if they may do something AWFUL with the info they receive. So if you want an invasion of privacy let's REALLY invade it and make sure fat chicks don't transcribe because they are so busy eating they can't get the work done, they mess up the keyboard with food and if they are provided health insurance they will raise the rates for the company sky high because their health risks are higher than others. Then there are the psychological issues overweight people bring to the table. After we eliminate fat people, we can go on to eliminate diabetic people who may have low blood sugar while typing and go into a spell and type the wrong thing. I could go on and on through the process of elimination. How about prescribed medications that may cloud your thinking? So you take Ambien to sleep but you have an Ambien groggy hangover when you are transcribing? Should they transcribe. How about your teens are on your last nerves and you take a Xanax? Should you be allowed to transcribe?
Loreal will cover the gray. Try an ash blonde shade. SM
That is what I do and when my white starts growing in at the sides, it blends in nicely. Looks like highlights.
Professional color looks amazing, but costs a fortune. You can do it yourself, but don't use the inexpensive brands, stick to the better ones. They will cover the white.
My gray talks like crazy. People on the phone will often ask who is there with me.
:+
yes, hair can turn prematurely gray from stress
I hate days like that - when every dictator is bad (and when half the reports maybe get sent to QA). Bless your heart for the struggle!!! 
Either online or hardcopy anatomy reference, like Gray's. (nm)

I think it is tied into working at home and not exercising the gray matter, except for MT stuff.

Blue ?
 HELP. Has anybody heard of, or used a transcription platform called "Blue"..... (something...don't know what...). I heard somewhere(?) about this "Blue..." system and apparently it's supposed to be super ?!! Anybody have a clue?  . TY in advance.
Yes, I have the blue W and
I have typed a few reports using these steps and it does report, and no one is complaining about format so I guess it works. Thanks a bunch for your help.
I'd give anything for blue!
My carpeting is pink, not rose, but pink. Apparently the previous owners to the person we bought our house from also had a pink stove and pink refrigerator with horrid looking kitchen wallpaper with big pink roses on it.
If that's not bad enough my bathroom is purple. Lilacs on the wallpaper, purple tub, flush and sink. My daughter used to call it the "Barney bathroom."
Great neighborhood though.
blue smiley
what do the sad looking blue smiley faces mean beside some of the threads?
The blue lines don't mean anything on the (sm)
digital tests. Please visit the site peeonastick.com for more info. That chick knows her pregnancy tests.
Did you try right clicking on the blue bar?
There should be a place to check for an address bar.
I'm planning on getting blue flu that week. nm

The audience would be the blue states,
aka, the ones who voted for Kerry. I guarantee this movie will flop in the red states. It's just one more attempt to push the gay agenda down our throats, making it more mainstream and palatable. Won't happen in my state, Texas. There is no such thing as a gay cowboy, that's an oxymoron.
blue screen of death
I'm not sure if he went back to myspace a second time, I'll have to ask him. Thanks for all the help. I got it at Best Buy so I think I'll take it back there and see what they have to say also. I just don't want him away at college and have the darn thing crashing all the time. It's not like you can just keep buying new ones at that price!
It still happens, mostly in blue collar jobs,
jobs,too, but not as much. The employer tells them they are IC, but there are still many people out there who don't understand what that exactly means. All they see is the extra money on their paycheck and they figure they'll worry about the taxes later, or don't fully understand the implications of being IC and don't know what a 1099 is. Rack it up to immaturity or being naive, but it still happens. The IRS has cracked down in recent years and has it's criteria for IC status, which doesn't apply to everyone (look at real estate agents, who can only work for one broker, but yet be an IC). It is beneficial to the employer because it saves the employer money on the SS 'match', plus savings on work comp insurance, unemployment taxes, liability insurance. To me, being an IC means I don't have an employer - I have a customer and I must do the work they hired me to do or I will lose that customer to someone else.
And how do you know they weren't cussing up a blue

I second that, Wild Blue works well (sm)
for me. Tried Hughes a few years back and it was awful but maybe they are improved now. Have had Wildblue for 2 years and it works pretty good.
I don’t think he would just out of the blue suggest the medicine
Probably you made mention of having had the cervical cancer and that is where the dialogue started, right? As far as the x-ray, think that is being overplayed with that and fertility. Loads of children, females included, have x-rays when younger and do not lose their ability to have children. You sound like you are stressed out, mentioning this and that, xrays, miscarriages, sterility, etc., etc.
Possibly Wild Blue?....sm
I don't live in Oregon, but am in rural western Washington. I know a few MTs who use Wild Blue and are happy with it, so that would be my only suggestion.
I did want to say that I have been using satellite for about three years now (a small local company), have been on no less than 4 different MT platforms, and never had any problems. Yes, satellite can be susceptible to extreme weather...but if you're in a rural area you're about as likely to have your power go out anyway in extreme weather!
Best of luck.
You realize by doing that they're making more money & you're making less? You should reconsid
I like blue, too. I'd do the walls a light beige or tan.
Our house here was icky when we first moved in. Each room was a different color of pastel. The mottled blue/gray/white/brown carpet was nasty because they had cats and dogs that evidently must have been locked in the bedrooms while the adults went to work. The living room and hallway were blue-gray, the kitchen was yellow, laundry room peach, bathroom pink, and the bedrooms were lavendar, purple, and fuchsia. Of course, the walls matched the carpet that matched the curtains. Blechy. We painted everything just a plain off white before we moved in.
My parents never deviated from plain white walls when I was growing up. I'm just now learning to go wild with decorating. In fact, we just got the funds to do our addition today, so we're adding another bedroom, an office for me, and a second bathroom, and enlarging the kitchen and utility rooms. Fun, fun, fun, more household disruption for the next several months. I just can't wait for the end result.
Wild Blue satellite internet
Anybody currently using Wild Blue satellite internet? Any responses good or bad would be greatly appreciated.
The Forum Subject is missing in the blue box...
don't know what happened with my format. All forum subject is missing. Now, I can't switch from one subject to another without going back to home page 
I've noticed that myself - if he said the oceans were blue, you'd all believe him
haha
Blue Cross only pays $25 towards exam. sm
They have coverage for glasses up to $100 (what progressive trifocals cost under $100?) Of course, my doc does not have the frames that come under the $100 program. Natch

I'd do a neutral sand/bone color because of the blue

Links with blue background still on left side for me...

12 x 10 light yellow walls, blue ceiling
Desk with hutch and pullout drawer and keyboard shelf, on top of desk and in hutch two transcription units, a clock so I can watch time fly (haha), lots of miscellaneous reference books, most outdated but can't give up, plus large filing cabing, small filing cabinet, two printer stands that match wooden desk and hutch, loaded with more important stuff (yeah, right), one of those organizing paper holders (two stacked on top of each other) with 16 slots for different clients' letterhead, a laser printer (HP of course! LOL), the dozen roses DH bought me for Valentines, dried and looking pretty in the vase, DH's desk and hutch, with his two printers, a shelving system with a bunch of candle and soapmaking supplies (mmm, it smells good in here!), and .... of course! .... my TV. Geez, I can't live without it!
How I got my links back (in the left, blue area!)
I went to Tools, Internet Options and deleted Files and Cookies (although I don't know as though this had anything to do with it as I have done this MANY times in the past). I then experimented with my Norton Antivirus. You must do this at YOUR OWN RISK! Down in the right-hand corner of my screen, I chose "Disable Norton Internet Security" which when I reloaded the Main page here (after I had gone and done the above steps in Tools) it didn't make a difference. So, then I went back down to Norton Internet Security and chose "Disable Antivirus Auto-Protect" and reloaded the main page here and BINGO I had the links all back! I then Enabled all my NAV I had disabled, reloaded the page again and everything is still there! So, if this happens again, at least now I know how to get it back.
I thought I would share this info as I know there are others out there that has experienced this same problem and I have done everything the administration has suggested and it did not resolve the issue. So, apparently it has to do with Norton and I am not clear why Norton Antivirus (I would expect it more to be an Norton Internet Security issue) but in any event I am elated it worked! I hope it will work for someone else as well - again at your own risk. :)
I hope this might help administration/moderators to help others as well in the future. :)
This just made my day! :D

I see them all, too. Some people seem to be missing headings from the blue bar on the left. nm

Soft Script just called me out of the blue looking for recruits...
I must have inquired about a position well over a year ago, and thank goodness it did not work out based on the archives. But, with no warning, no provocation, they called asking if I or anyone I knew needed an MT job. Hmmm, weird huh?
