If you change MS Word settings to
... do you have to switch it back to white background/black type when you send in your work?
I send my work FTP and wondering if I send it blue background/white type, will the MTSO get it that way or will it appear normally with the white bkg/black type?
I hear that using the blue bkg/white type eases eye strain, which will help me, and wondering if I need to change it back before sending it via FTP.
MS Word grammar settings?
I would like to set up my MS Word to catch as many grammar errors as possible. Should I just check every box?
Thanks
In Word, I think you have to turn it off under one of the settings in View. nm

Easy to work with. You can look up old reports. Your own word expander will work

What word expanders work best with MS word? Or..
.. is there another way? Do many use the "autocorrect" to make your own word Expander without having to purchase anything? Does that workout well or is it best to buy expander software?
I'm setting things up to start again after a couple years out of hte business. My Spellex spellchecker expired and I had to purchase a new spellchecker. Also wanting to get my expander going. GAH! It's a bit spendy to get things going again... not fun.
Work = word

does this only work with Word?
I type on DocQScribe, which has an Expander but I'm just wondering if something like this would be better.
Can you work in word also
Can you work in word so that they can directly download it and then make the corrections. I have one doc that always changes his letters and so I just email them over and he changes and has his girl do them. Again, I thought I bent over to help out my accounts but there is no way even I would do this. Good luck, they are taking advantage of you BIG time.
You would work in Word of WP5.1, whichever
you prefer. Pay per gross line. Work is staying caught up so not sure they are hiring, but you can apply on-line.
Does PRD work with MS Word? I thought it was for WP 5.1 DOS only? - sm
Or am I getting confused? I have PRD for 5.1; but now use Smartype for WP 5.1 DOS (like it a lot better)....yes it also works on XP but it took me me a LONG time to figure it out. I have passed the "how to" manual onto a lot of people over the last 2 years. Its actually quite simple once you know how. An inexpensive word Expander is Shortcut, and they have the one they sell here Flashtype that is inexpensive as well. I know Shortcut works fine with 98.
I work in EXText with one and just Word with the other. SM
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.
The wife cannot work in Word LOL sm
The wife knows WP but not Word. They have a Mac at home which cannot convert the WP file to Word or that is her excuse why I have to do the conversion for them. This whole business stinks and its just time to move on and not deal with any of this, Im tired of always feeling like a monster and having my heart beat in my throat because I never know what I did wrong this time or how I will be treated when I get in the office.

If it works for you, feel free to share with your colleagues. If double
clicking a doc or dot file opens Word 2003 and not 2007 it should work with
the company software - depending on how the company software calls Word.

I hope this will help everyone! I know it helped me. I love typing in Word2007, but for now, I will have to type in Word 2003 until my company's software is compatible with it. At least I can have both programs running at the same time! The info on his web page about creating a toolbar is not necessary, unless it is something you need to do for Word 2007. 
They'll do the work by posting every other word
because medical transcription is so danged "easy" to do! We just type what we hear (who cares about the danged PATIENT?).
PRD is a dos-based program, will not work in Word.
It is a great program, wish it would, but you might have to look at something like Shorthand. Same with Stedman's. It is a Windows installation, not a copy/paste like the old dos programs (WP, etc.)
I work for a place that pays per word (sm)
and to figure it you just get the total word count (using the word count feature in Word). You would have to find out if the 1000 words is based on "a word is a word," or if there's some "formula" such as suggested in another reply, like every 5 characters counts as a word and does that include spaces in that count, blah, blah, blah. I don't know. If it's just straight up $5.00 per actual 1000 words, then I don't think that's good at all. I make .0085 per word, and I've figured out that it would be an average of 8.5 to 9.5 cents per line. Anyway, if "a word is a word" at least, $5.00 per 1000 words would probably equal around 5-6 cents per line or so.
I do insurance work as well. It came by word of mouth.

I'd work in Word and cut and paste into their system. SM
Ask them if you can type it in Microsoft Word and then cut and paste (copy the Word document and paste it into their system).
It is not feasible to work without a spell checker. Word has a pretty good spell and grammar checker and there is no reason to do without it.
See if their "tech" department can come up with a macro to copy the text of the Word document and paste it into their program. Or, you could create a Word macro and paste it into their system. Either way. There is an excellent Macro recording program called Macro ToolWorks which is free for 30 days and then $40.00 that can duplicate key strokes and mouse movements, and could copy the document, go to their program and paste it in. They you'd just hit one button, like the Ctrl button plus a number. Their tech department should only take one or two days to come up with some solution.
Good luck. I just would not work without Word spell checker and also Steadman Medical Spell Checker. Essentials to any production typing job. Good luck !
Two versions of Word on the same computer will only work
correctly if the oldest version is installed *first*.
AAMT is a 4-letter word. I work for MQ and never been told
any more uninformed directions from people who don't count?
I'm pretty sure they told us it would not work with Word 2003 at all. NM

Does PC ShortHand work on Emdat or Word Client?
And if so how do I get it to work when using these platforms?

Smartype should work in any word based platform - sm
If Emdat is a web based platform, then it won't work. Fighting that (on Chartscript) myself right now and hate it!
I hear Radnet won't work with Word autoentries and stuff.
And I never worked out of Word before, so what are good and cheap word Expanders - will any import my Word shortcuts and expanders?
RE: I hear Radnet won't work with Word autoentries and stuff.
I currently use RadNet at my in-house job, and it has its own shortcut Expander pre-programmed. You create the expansion and use F9 to launch the expansion.
Will the Stedman's work with that version of Word? You buy the basic program and then

I haven't used Express Scribe since school, but have you changed the settings? I had to change it to change the settings for what food petal I was using. The one I chose was V-something (VEC? VRC?) 3-pedal, I can't remember.
It may have to do with your settings sm
under File, preferences. Make sure you don't have verify target window checked. Also, may be the pause....after so many keytstrokes. Play around with that one. Every body is different but what works for me is pause 5 msec after 1000 keystrokes.
Also, try waiting for the expansion to appear before you type the word after it.
And below, make sure you have simulate Keystrokes checked.

On Exp Scribe, click on settings,file type, and if you don't what type of file, just check them all. Then give it a try and see what happens.

count. It was still very inconsistent and would not count headers, even though I *told* it to. I would count lines with it and then recount with Sylcount and Abacus was always fewer lines. This was just MY experience with it and I don't need to be made to sound like I am not familiar enough with these programs to not do the *settings* correctly. thank you.
it depends on the settings
I worked before for gross lines, but it depends on the margins and the font setup. I had one account that was Ariel 12 and the other was only a font of 10. With the 12 font I got more lines credited as opposed to the 10 font. Working at 9 cpl without spaces actually evens out to about the same as the lesser amount with spaces. You can download Abacus and then take a document you have typed and have it count it without spaces and with gross lines and then see the difference, it's really not that much.
click settings then...sm
under Playback tab, adjust the Auto Backstep on Stop (0-5000ms). 1000ms = 1 second.
Go to settings, then file and
it gives you a spot to put the number of days to delete files.
