I am 34 and have a profile.  I'm not trashy or sleazy (for whoever said that in an earlier post).  I am female and have found a lot of people from high school and even a few from grade school on there.  I have my profile set to private also, only if you are my friend can you see my profile.  There is lots of crap out there on myspace, just as with any other website but I don't think it's all bad.  I don't use mine for evil lol  I use it to keep in touch. 

I agree with the person who said it's okay for your kids to be online as long as you monitor.  I have an 11 y/o daughter and she is allowed online but there are rules and yes I do check up on her.  She doesn't have a myspace and won't be allowed to have one for a few years.  Luckily she's never asked, I don't think she's really discovered it yet.  I think these days constant monitoring of your kids' activities online is a must. 

If so, he's looking kinda rough!  JMO, of course.

Go to My Computer, click Tools, Folder Options, click File Types tab.

Scroll down list and select WAV.  In the lower part of the window where it says Opens with, click the Change button.  In the new window, scroll down and select Scribe, then click OK.  Then OK to close the other window.

How To Set Up & Use The LX-219 IMPORTANT—PLEASE READ CAREFULLY!!!! • IF THE FOOT PEDAL IS NOT ALREADY CONNECTED---Remove the Front Cover of the terminal block that has the cables attached, and Plug the Foot Pedal into the black connector. • Plug the cable marked “Trans Station” into the jack on back of the LX-219 labeled, “To Recorder” • Plug the cable marked “Power Supply” into the jack on the Power Supply. (some power supplies have two jacks, use the left one and ignore the other) • Plug the cable marked “UDLT” into the jack on the back of the LX-547 VTI, marked UDLT. • Plug the Telephone line cord into the jack on back of LX-547 VTI marked “TELCO”. Plug the other end of this cable into your telephone jack. • Plug Power Supply into wall outlet. • The VTI will now undergo a self test; all of the lights will come on momentarily and begin blinking. After a few seconds all lights will go out EXCEPT the TA and VD lights. These will remain on. (the letters identifying these lights are read from top to bottom, not left to right) You are now ready to Program your Station to call into the Lanier system and begin transcribing. Go to the Programming Instructions, and with the help of your Supervisor or Client, program the Codes and Telephone numbers that they want you to use, into the LX-219. AFTER programming is complete, use the following instructions to begin using the Transcriber. Copyright 2003 by: Ranzy Luster Plug Headset into jack on back of LX-219 labeled “Headset” • Put Headset on. • Press the ON/OFF key. You will hear a dial tone. • Press the Key that you have programmed your Telephone access number into • After the system answers and “Digital Connect” appears, the screen will display; “Enter Trans ID” • Press the key that you have programmed your ID number into. • The display will show “ENT - request Job” • Press the ENTER key. The small screen will display; “Searching for job”. After a few seconds, a job number will appear in the small display screen and all of the information will now appear on the LARGE DISPLAY screen. • Place your foot on the LISTEN part of the Foot Pedal and press down. • Press REVERSE to back up when needed, and if you have backed up quite a distance and don’t want to listen through the dictation again, Press FORWARD to get back to the point you were at when you started reversing. A Loud tone will be heard when you reach this point! • As you are transcribing and reach the end of a job, you will hear a steady TONE. At this point, remove your foot from the Listen Pedal and press the Finishing Touch Button. This will Complete that job and bring up the Next available Job. (the Finishing Touch Button is the one which you have programmed with the Code 1370) • When finished transcribing for the day, Press the button you have programmed with the Code 1371. This code completes the job and prevents others from coming to your station. • In Addition to the two codes listed above, the Telephone number of the system you are calling into should be programmed into a Key and your ID number should be in one. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS YOUR EMPLOYER/CLIENT WANTS YOU TO USE WILL BE EXPLAINED BY THEM!

This is for WORD 2003. Just follow the steps EXACTLY as outlined. 

1.  Open a plain word document and type your ??.  (A couple of sets with one set per line).

2.  Go to Tools>Macro>Record New Macro

3.  Name your Macro (type it in the box)  Mine is named "jump". (Make sure in the second box, it says NORMAL template or normal.dot.)

4.  Click the Keyboard button - choose the keyboad combination you want to use (I use ALT+J) Click Assign.

5.  You should see a little button floating around that looks like a tape somewhere on your screen.  Don't touch it yet.  Instead, Go to Edit>Find and type in ??.

6.  Hit find next (you should be seeing your ?? being highlighted while you are doing this.) Click the cancel button on that same window. 

7.  Go to Tools>Macro>stop recording. 

Type in a few ?? sets and hit your shortcut combination to make sure it works. 

If you have trouble with this, feel free to e-mail.  I make these all the time.  :)

from your employers:

The BOS is to be followed, except when it differs from this company's style guide and except when also not in conflict with the site specific information of the client. 

So, you check the site notes from the hospital and if the question is not answered there, you check your company's style guide, and then if there is still no answer you do what the BOS says to do. 

Does this make any sense?  Making us consult three different references for the answer to one simple question?  Do the MTs in Indiastan have to do this?  Or do they get a pass because they work so cheap? 

In a Word document, type a few words, like a diagnosis on a line.  Leave your cursor at the end of the line.

Click TOOLS, MACRO, RECORD NEW

A window called Record Macro pops up.  I suggest you put a name in the "Macro Name" field.  (Hint:  No spaces allowed in the name.)

Click KEYBOARD to assign it to the keyboard.

A window called "Customize Keyboard" pops up.  In the field "press new shortcut key", press what you want as the shortcut.  (Hint:  I use ALT+N so I can remember it for numbering.)  That key combination you type should populate that field.

Click ASSIGN, CLOSE

You will be back at your document (your cursor still at the end of the line of text you typed) and there will be a small window called "Stop" that has a solid square (the STOP RECORDING button) and another symbol (PAUSE RECORDING button).  At this point, every single thing you do is being recorded!

Press the HOME key (to put cursor at the beginning of the line).

Press the 1. keys and space twice (or however many times you space between your number/period for your account).

Press the END key (to return cursor to end of the line of text).

Press the RETURN key.

Press the 2. keys and space twice (or, again, however many spaces you put between your number/period for your account).

Click the STOP RECORDING button in the little window.

Your macro is complete.  I suggest you try it out.  Skip down a few lines and type a line of text.  At the end of that text, hit your macro shortcut.  It should run (you won't see it do anything but make the changes you recorded) and automatically go to the beginning of the line, number it as 1 with a period and spaces, and return at the end of your text and start the number 2, period, spaces and be ready for more text!!  Email me if you have problems. 

NOTE:  This will only work if the text you type is only 1 line long.  If it word-wraps to a second line, this will not work...you will just have to manually return to the beginning of the line and number. 

More ideas for building macros, at least the ones I use most: 

-- macro to increase the zoom to a certain percentage (I use 110%)

-- macro to scroll down 1 frame or page

-- macro to copy the preoperative diagnosis heading, the 1-line text below it, return a line blank and type postoperative diagnosis heading and paste (for when the dictation is for "postoperative diagnosis same").  I use ALT+; for postoperative diagnosis and ALT+' for postop diagnosis

-- macro to copy the physician names/credentials in the signature block and search for the header for SURGEON and fill it in, putting it in all capitals, etc.

Just a handful of ideas I use.  Hope these help.

I believe I understand what you're trying to do. Try following these steps.

Open a new blank document and set the margins as you've been instructed (File, Page Setup, Margins). Next, click on the tab for Layout. Make sure Section starts has New Page in the box. In the next section, Headers and Footers, make sure none of the boxes are checked. Change the measurement from edge for the Header to 1". In the Page Section for vertical layout choose Center. In Preview Section make sure that Whole Document is selected. Click OK.

Now, Go to View, Headers/Footers. Type the information that you want into the Header area. Don't worry that it looks like the Header area is larger than it should be; it will shrink as your letter grows. Save this as a document template (.dot)

Now, whenever you use this template, just type your first letter, use Ctrl+Enter to go to the next letter/page. The Header information will show at the top of each page and each letter will be centered on the page for you.

I did read the instructions, thank you.  I downloaded the PlayAll player also, but my footpedal that I use for Olympus player is not working for the PlayAll player.  I can play it by starting and stopping it with the keyboard, but I would prefer using my pedal.

One file has an extension “.ofc” This is an actual work file. YOU CAN NOT OPEN THIS WITH A CLICK OF YOUR MOUSE. You must download this file to the .wav player software and open it with the PlayallX or the software you already have.

The file “playallx.zip” is a zipped file that will open the software to play our compressed digital work. This is necessary if your .wav player will not open the compressed file with the extension .ofc.  PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS FOR WINDOWS XP ONLY.

products like shampoo and hairdryers.  Even though it seems stupid to us that they are pointing out "rinse after lathering" or "do not submerse in water"...the fact that it is on there is likely due to the fact that someone somewhere in this crazy world actually did it..and might have even tried to sue them for not telling them not to.  I've been an MT for 15 years.  And from your post I knew what DEXA was because I type radiology.  I had no clue what pallor was.  If I did clinic notes I would probably have known.  It's all in what you're familiar with.  So the other poster is right...if he's spelling it, it's probably because he knows a newbie is on the account or he's already had to correct it himself on a previous report. 

To the original poster, don't feel like it's whining.  That's completely understandable.  I get frustrated over the same thing too.  The docs sometimes spell a word that they have got to know we use all the time...but do you think they would spell a referring doctor's name that they could hardly pronounce themselves?  Uhhhhh no!   So yeah, it is funny and frustrating at times what they think we need help with and we all need to vent sometimes.

Thank you so very much.  Got them.  What a pain. 

Thanks again.

Where can I find instructions on this platform?

Thanks!
