I figured it out----yes you can adjust the speed and here's how to do it. Hope this helps someone

There are a couple of ways to adjust playback speed.

1. Right-click on the Windows Media Player 10 title bar, choosing "Play" - "Play Speed" and selecting "Fast", "Normal", or "Slow".

Or, for more intricate adjustments:

1. Click the "Now Playing" tab.

2. Right-click on the Windows Media Player 10 title bar, choosing "View" - "Enhancements" - "Play Speed Settings".

3. A panel should appear at the bottom of the "Now Playing" tab.

- Click "Slow", "Normal", or "Fast" for basic play speed settings.

- Move the slider to the left to slow the playback; moving the slider to the right speeds up playback. For reference:

"Slow" speed is 0.5
"Normal" speed is 1.0
"Fast" speed is 1.4

If you're having trouble moving the slider, uncheck "Snap slider to common speeds" to allow speed changes across the slider bar. Note that some files may not correctly play at speeds less than 0.5.

I don't know exactly how to do it, but I think the file is called Web Correct.  Here is a website for some folks who can help!  They are wonderful with technical questions like this:

Hope this helps!

Yep. I had 2 scares within 2 weeks of each other. Found blood on the tissue very similar to when I start my period (I was 8 weeks and 10 week both times it happened). Hubby rushed me to the ER and after blood tests and ultrasounds I checked out OK. I'm now almost 18 weeks along with baby #3

I also had this with my son (second pregnancy) about 7 years ago. I happened almost every week. I carried him to term with no additional complications. And, with both of these pregnancies the bleeding ceased once I was out of the first trimester.

Hang in there.

You're going to need to be in "heading" when you number your pages (sure you already know that).  When you are in your heading, a toolbar should pop up called "Header and Footer."  This toolbar has an icon on it that looks like a piece of paper with a # on it.  That is what you use to insert the page #.  It should number consecutive pages 1, 2, 3, etc., unless you manually go in and create a new section (Insert Page Break, Section Break Type--Next Page).  If you inserted that type of break, a new section would be started at 1, 2, 3, with new headings if you wanted them. 

One thing to look out for--when you are in your "heading" section, a box is visible around your header with a broken line around it.  Sometimes it will say "Same as Previous."  That means, even though this might be a new section, you are telling the document to keep the header information from the previous section--which will really mess up your pagination!  To get rid of that, roll your mouse over the "Header and Footer" toolbar until you see the icon "Same as Previous."  Make sure it isn't highlighted.

Hope this helps and isn't too confusing for you.  Good luck!

The two-space thing was for typesetters and typewriters. With today's proportional fonts, it is no longer necessary, and in fact leaves a "river of white" through a document. <--- this is from memory. I wonder if the BOS says so?

Me 'n' my big mouth. I can't document it without leaving this website and going to google. :)

4. What type of environment do you work in (i.e. from home, physician’s office, hospital, other). Home
5. What do you think are the most important skills a medical Transcriptionist should have? Medical terminology, grammar, ability to work alone, discipline, etc.
6. Did some skills come naturally to you, while others required more practice? yes, typing was easy, learning ESL doctors was not.

I also considered going to Sinclair for my medical transcription career but decided to train from home.  I was told by the hospital where I was working that Sinclair had a great program.  Good luck!! If this is something you think you will like, don't let anyone bring you down.  You either love it or hate it and I just happen to love it.

It took me a while to get situated and then along came the summer months and my schedule got totally out of whack.  No school and the kids are home, etc., etc.

I have 2 accounts, one local and one national.  Unfortunately the national requires a 3 hour per day schedule (5 day week with one day a weekend), which really stinks, but what can you do?  My local only wants 24 hour turnaround and it's up to me when I do it, as long as it is back within 24 hours.

What I did was change my national hours to earlier morning, due to no preparation for school, and then I can get it done in case I want to go do something with the kids (they're older and are still getting the "winkies" out of their eyes at 10:00 a.m. when I finish).  If it's a really great day and I want to go sit by the pool and just relax and play, my local stuff waits until after dinner.  The kids understand the summer "trade off" and when cold weather and school starts again, I'll just work all day while they are in school and finish up affter they go to bed.

This is my very first summer doing this at home full time.  I got really, really lazy at first but finally just had to kick myself in the behind when the bills started getting behind.

Just passing thru tonight, but my kids are gone for a couple of hours with some friends, so I need to go kick behind and get caught up.

very little me time, but I was never a big me time person.  I truly enjoy spending time with my family.  I graduated one this year and I've got 4 more years left and then I'll have all the me time I want. 

My DH is an ex-math teacher so he handles math.  He usually does the grocery shopping and running errands.  My house is in a constant state of chaos and my flower beds are full of weeds.

This year is the first time I've had to work a strict schedule.  In the past I still tried to work a split shift, but had flexibility so I could do the field trips, the classes, etc.   My remaining child is a teen and does a lot of work on his own and he isn't into the field trips and other stuff now, so it is a bit easier in that respect, but we are also having to be more regimented in his studies because we have to be thinking about college.

You can Google your state or city and home educators to find support.  For the life of me I can't think of the national organization.  We're not very active in the homeschool community now because we prefer to do our own thing, but we have a weekly activity day.  It is usually bowling or rollerskating.  The kids are able to do their thing and the parents (usually moms) are able to socialize.  We have a gym day once a week.  It usually isn't structured, but gets the kids active.  We also have enrichment classes.  If foreign language or calculus isn't your thing your child can take enrichment classes.  We have a basketball team, a band.  We have proms and balls.   Places like the Y or the rock climbing place that don't get much business during the day have special rates/times for the homeschoolers.  There is a field trip at least once a month.  We have the science fairs, spelling bees, etc.  We have graduation ceremonies.  There are once a month support group meetings.  People who don't know anything about homeschooling always comment about lack of socialization, but as you can see from the above there is no lack of socialization.  Plus your child can participate in community sports, scouts, church group, plus have neighborhood friends, so we don't really keep our kids isolated.   We also have a year state convention/book fair.  We don't get any government funding or tax credits (though some states will provide the same textbooks that they use in public school), but we usually get teacher discounts.

Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. 

  What is the best way to prepar for this.
