My office is in a separate room, yet close enough
I can hear what is going on. I have a shock collar that I put on my dogs to keep them quiet when they are outside (I don't have to shock them but very rare occasion). I work late afternoon/early evening so that part of my schedule, pets and husband are in bed and I have total peace and quiet.
No, having a separate office doesn't make
me concentrate any better. The part that is nice about it is when I'm not working, I can close the door and not think about work. When I can't concentrate, I usually put in some soft music, light a stinky candle, make a cup of tea and force myself to type for at least one hour before taking a quickie break. I pretty much make a deal with myself as a reward to get it done.
Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

I gave a tin of toffee for each office and a Lia Sophia necklace to each office manager. ~nm~

Office politics. That is why I enjoy working at home. In the office,
people are in other people business. Just mind your own business.
Can anyone suggest an office in MQ that is not run like this Amherst office. They are absolutely
pathetic. I wonder how many other MTs are in that office in the same situation.
Just DQS from my office was transferred and the rest are getting on DQS before the office closes.

Pay kids work around office, renovate office.

I would have to separate by category!
first 3 that come to mind are: The Notebook, Hope Floats and Sweet Home Alabama (SHA didn't get rave reviews, but I just loved that movie!)
ET, Titanic and Forrest Gump are like classics and you HAVE to love them!
Independence Day, MIB, most of the Marvel (comics) movies, Van Helsing and both Underworlds top my list too!
Oh, and then there is the animated stuff... the list is never ending! (and we own over 400 DVDs!)
Not on a separate line, per se
but separated by paragraphs. It looks something like:
Name #1
Address
City, State, Zip
Name #2
Address
City, State, Zip
...and so on.
MS Word not separate (SM)
MS bundles Word with their MS Office product. Previous companies I have worked for had MS Word alone on a generic disk. As far as I know, none of them are in jail yet.
OpenOffice.org provides a program that rivals MS Office. You can download it for FREE from their site. If you are doing this for work however, I don't know that it would be compatible with platforms you would be using - I'd say probably not.
Should you need to purchase MS Office so you can have MS Word, check out newegg.com. I know with operating systems such as Windows XP, you can buy versions that computer builders use - no fancy packages, just a disk and a license - for significantly less than what you'd pay for an off-the-shelf product at say Staples. Don't know if you can do the same with Office. Check out CNet.com for reviews. CNet.com also has forums where you can post a question and an Editor will answer you.
Good Luck!
I use a separate room
I have a 2 bedroom place, hubby and I use the master room and I transcribe in the "office." This keeps me, for the most part, without distractions other than those I create myself. I set up a place for my cats to sleep so they don't sleep on the computer desk, and have found that this works the best for me...very short attention span when I tried it in the living room. Just don't move work into the bedroom you sleep in, might cause sleep problems.
Are they separate checks (sm)
totalling 12,000+. You'd have to check the court system, but that may actually be over the amount for small claims court and you'd have to go to the next level. Has she made ANY attempt to pay any of it? Do you have any "demands" for payment in writing? If not, I think I'd get that in the mail today. You need to establish a papertrail. Formal demand asking for payment in a set period of time by cash or money order. Send it cert mail with return receipt.
Yes I did have a separate firewall....sm
I have also used the AVG for years. My friend has also used it for years. I know a lot of people who have used it and continue to with no problems. I had no problems until someone hacked into my computer. When I took it to the computer guy, he said you are using a free AVG version. He said that is the problem. He said why do you think they are free? They don't fully protect your computer. I have no idea with a firewall on how they still got into my computer but they did. My friend had someone hack into hers while using AVG free version and separate firewall and stole her identity. I am just trying to keep the expensive mistake I made from happening to other people. It is costing me $250 to have the computer repaired.
Yes, separate computer sm
I have kept an older computer with SP2 but don't have the original CD rom. I use it for checking personal e-mails etc.,, will try it tomorrow, sore neck from trying to "make it work". Will try tomorrow when my neck feels better. Stress........Thanks for trying to help me. Of all things, to misplace a CD rom, how dumb am I????

Two separate issues
Her medical records were indeed compromised several years ago and they did a sting with the doctor to find out who it was. The person responsible, ironically, died of cancer before she could be prosecuted. Farrah talks about it in the documentary. The documentary itself is Farrah and Alanna filming her treatment and journey over the last year or so.
Yes, it sure is. I was told on 3 separate occasions that
I could use it for work but when they saw how much I was racking up in charges, they told me I was not eligible and sent me a $2500 bill. I would be careful if I were you!!!!!
Or try to get the kids a separate policy

set up a separate entry for that with all caps. that's what I do.

its separate from hair and nails
is around 40k a year. Thats the highest ive made as an MT. You need a license, go through state board, and there are several schools throughout the US. Just do a search on "aesthetic or esthetic schools"
I use a C phone and 2 separate lines.. sm
I have DSL and I was not able to have my DSL on the same line as my C phone though now I cannot remember why it did not work. I do know that if it had worked I would not have had a phone to use to call out or receive calls while I was working (which was fine by me.. my family knows to call my cell). At any rate, because of the fact the C phone and DSL did not co-exist I had to use a separate line for my C phone and then my DSL is on another line and that frees up my main phone line for calls in and out.
Are the numbers in a separate column? sm
If yes, go to the Data menu and choose sort, then sort by the letter of the column.
Also fortunate enough to have a separate room. And

It doesnt separate. You end up transcribing at

Each 401K is a separate entity. You can have...sm
as many as you want. Sure helps with the taxes!
These are separate reports, called sm
corrections or addendums. We are not even allowed to change any report once it has been sent, and chances are that we are not the original transcriptionists who transcribed it. It is simply a new report.
I don't really mind at all when they say "go back up to History of Present Illness and put this in". It is just part of the job, not a big deal at all.
If it were me, I would have a separate hourly rate that
I would charge for things such as that, and keep a total of the time you spend doing this, but definitely bill them!!
Is it possible to use 2 separate monitors with just one computer?
I'd have two monitors but only one computer. I guess there would have to be somewhere to plug it in...and I only see one place to plug in a monitor but was hoping someone knew of some kind of adapter or a way to get around this? Thanks!!
Transcend bought MDI-FL. MDI-FL and MDI-MD are 2 separate entities. nm

Info on using 2 computers to separate jobs
Does anyone else use 2 computers to work different jobs? I'm having conflicts between 2 companies so decided to buy another computer to separate the them. I plan to use my monitor and cable on this computer too.
I was told by the one company that I cannot use a router. Does anyone know why? I'm not very computer literate anymore so... how else can this be done?
I certainly don't relish the thought of unplugging and plugging my monitor and cable every day and definitely do not want the expense of another cable line. I am not reimbursed for my cable or equipment by either company. Thanks for any info you can provide.
Is each address on a separate line? And do you have Excel?

separate bedroom makes sense
at my last 2 places that I lived I always had my office in a separate room but Iwas on 1 floor and I guess I felt more "together" that way. I am going to give my upstairs extra room a chance. At least I will have a window that sees a pretty scene small creek, tall trees. The only downfall my little dog cannot look out the window there as the windows are too high! Thanks all.
It sounds like you are talking about a separate platform
in addition to the Express Scribe. Maybe part of those steps would work for the OP, though.
When I left my former employer, they cut me a separate check. (nm)

You're talking about a separate program add-in.
In the standard MS Word program, there is no such creature as "word count" on the Tools menu. Either you're not useing MS Word or your company added this program. The other poster is telling you how to get the line count using the MS Word statistics/properties for a document.
If your company has added this program feature, they can configure it any way then want to and you're at their mercy.
Please make sure in the future when you say you're working in "Word" that it is MS Word as that is the assumption that will be made by anyone reading your post.
Office 2003 so far, but going to Office 2007 as soon as I can. nm

We have a separate work type for Short Stay
Usually the summary looks almost like a DS, but sometimes they start out like an H&P, where they appear to be dictating a combination H&P and DS.
Same here. Separate worktype for Short Stay Summary.

Your Shorthand expanders can become separate glossary. s/m KyITuser
Instant text actually comes loaded with dozens of different glossaries stored into a separate glossary folder. For instance, to name a few: Medwords.glo, (glo is a filename for glossary), Legal.glo, ER.glo, GenMed.glo, etc. I could go on. After I imported my PRD+ expanders, I created a folder for it and just named it (after my first name), Toni.glo. So when I pull up IT, I just click on my Toni.glo file and go to work.
Ironically, I'm looking into ShortHand because even though IT has SO, SO many different functions...so many that I will never learn in this lifetime, that in itself is the only con...other than the price $189.00 and no trial period is offered!
Personally, the best advice I can give is to visit the productivity board and browse through it. Don't get me wrong, IT has to be the most advanced expansion program on the market, but again, being so advanced is it's only pitfall. If you are like me, an IC paid on production, I just don't have the time to sit around and play with it. I hope I didn't confuse you even more. Good luck!
Totally agree with separate space, it helps my discipline, also!
Good luck!
