in up in WP5.1 so it backs up your work every few minutes, and is saves a back up copy as well. Also if you have to shut down then you just go to your backup folder (you make one up) and there it is under a different name, and you bring that up and resave it and you generally have lost very little work. Email me if you want and I will dig out the instructions on how to set up the backup feature. The problem I have is sometimes I hit something, no idea which 2 keys and I delete my whole report, so the backup feature for me is a lifesaver. Thouhg I have learned the hard way not to save the report after I delete by accident, otherwise the only thing that is in the backup file is a blank file. Luckily I don't make a habit of doing that!

There is a setting
to fix that and I can't remember what it is. But I complained about it and our IT guys told me how to fix it. There is something that you have to "allow" to get it to work.
SETTING UP A QA PROGRAM
Need some ideas/suggestions for setting up a very tight QA program. I have no idea where to start with this one. Any help is appreciated.
As an IC you should be setting your OWN rates
And then you inform the clients of the increase--period. You don't "ask" for an increase. That would make you an employee.
Aha. So it is a setting they could change.
I think they just haven't noticed or haven't had time to do it, but it's good to know it is possible to have it not spellcheck demographics. There is no reason for it since they wouldn't want us to change anything in the demographics.
Thanks.
You are setting yourself up to most likely fail...
if you try to start an MT business right out of school. Unfortunately, people take the college courses for MT just to find out that most employers do require experience. There are companies that do hire newbies, but one must have attended an "approved" school. It's not too late for you though. I see you as having 3 options:
1. You attend an "approved" MT course/start over with schooling.
2. You apply everywhere, check your newspaper, keep looking.
3. You attempt to start up your own business and learn as you go, although I highly don't recommend this route.
Good luck!
Setting up Lanier LX-219?
I'm at a loss - I cannot find a manual anywere about how to set up my Lanier LX-219 equipment. I have the terminal block, module and the unit. two phone plugs on the grey box, one phone plug on the back of the unit. Does anyone know where I can find a manual on how to set up the equipment? Thanks in advance
I am in our bedroom now, but am setting up - sm
an area in our dining room slowly. Will still work in the BR (I think) during the day; but will move out to the DR when DH wants to go to bed so my typing does not keep him up. That has been a running battle for years and finally bought a new CPU as a backup and now am loading all my programs, etc. which I don't have the time to do of course. Just need to finish doing that and get a new monitor as I am using an ancient one right now that is probably around 12 years old now, huge bugger. If I like it out there more I may work out there during the day too.
Are you setting your own rate?
If so, find out what others in your area are charging. If you think you should be paid more because you're doing pathology, then charge more.
If you're being offered a rate, then do you consider it to be enough? No one else can really answer those questions but you.
Setting up your own accounts
I've been doing some research on here and checking out various links and such regarding setting up my own accounts but am finding myself more confused than ever! I've noticed some talking about things like mydocsonline, bytescribe, wav player, Olympus, etc., but how exactly do these work? I'm assuming there is a system in their office or on their end and then I use some sort of system or connect with that to get jobs? How does this all work?
I've been looking into this and trying to understand how it works, as when I recently went to the ENT office they asked if might be looking for some work . I didn't feel comfortable talking about it in depth because of my lack of understanding. They are a mid-sized practice with 2 offices and probably less than 10 physicians. Any info or advice anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to email me also if you'd like.
You probably have your setting defaulted sm
to justify - it's "blocking" your text so it all looks like one neat block. It removes or adds spacing to spread it just so. Turn it off and you can eliminate the problem you're having.

Help with setting new entry in VPN
I need some expertise... I have VPN for a company on desktop set up, need to create a new entry for another company.. .is that possible? I have the file in the right folder (PCF or something close to that file) and did the wizard, but it says no valid ID when I know it is... what am I doing wrong?
Beats my clinical setting..
I'm shut off in a 12 X 12 room, hearing loud voices outside my door, file clerks running around hunting charts and griping every minute, nurses flitting about hunting "stuff", the office manager laughing loudly outside my door while she flirts with the doctors, and my WeatherBug is calling for the heat index of 115 for my area! I'll trade with YOU!
Setting the record straight
You purchased an IN-155 foot pedal for compatiblility with DVI VoiceWav. (We have sold nearly 1,000 of these with zero returns.)
When you called our toll free 800 number for support we told you that the problem was not the pedal and was either the software you were using or your computer. Reluctantly, we agreed to do an exchange for you. (FYI, when your first pedal came back to us it worked absolutely perfectly and still does. In fact it is plugged into the same computer I am typing on at this moment. It has been tested daily since it came back with no problems).
Now, you voice incorrect information on MTStars. Your problem is in your computer.
Please feel free to call us yet again if this is not clear to you.

Setting backspace for pedal
I have an older transcriber (DAC Model DA-125) and have had it for quite some time now. I moved my office over the weekend and had to unplug the machine. Well, my backspace has reset to practically nothing and I can't find my manual on how to reprogram the backspace. Is there anyone else out there using this phone and if so, how to do reprogram it for the backspace length?
Thanks so much for your help.

Setting up 2 computers with 1 monitor - Need help!
I will be starting a second job next week and need to use that companies computer. I know I need a syslink router to enable them both to use our cable modem, but I know there is a box you can get so you can use one monitor and turn the dial to switch back and forth between computers. Anyone know what this is called and where to get it? Also, is there a way to use only one mouse and keyboard also, or will I have to have 2 keyboards and 2 mice on my desk? (I have a small desk and am limited on space). Thanks for all help!!

Need help setting up formatting in MS word - sm
Computer crashed and died and now setting up my backup computer. I need to fix it so I don't have 2 spaces after a period. It is doing it automatically and I cannot find where to "fix" this. This is Word 2000 that I am using on a computer with XP Pro. Any help with this would be appreciated, it is driving me nuts (I am ending up with 3 spaces after a period as I am so used to spacing it myself).
Setting up icons on desktop
…I have a page that I want to appear as an incon. How to do? Thanks.
You can change the setting in Autocorrect...
for automatic numbering to the left margin by:
1) Open MS Word 2) Select Tools 3) Select Autocorrect 4) Click on the tab 'Autoformat as you type" 5) Make sure the box 'Automatic numberer lists' is checked (it's about the 8th box down) 6) Click on okay (otherwise your change wont take)
I hope this is what you meant.
Y'all are right. I am not setting up the boundaries myself! Thanks!

I found the setting but it is grayed out - sm
and I cannot select it, under Tools, Options, Spelling, says "Hide spellling errors in document". I never selected that and can only presume that IT did that for some freaky reason. How do I access it when it is greyed out and you cannot "unselect" it???
Yes its true. They seem to be setting impossible limits for everyone lately and you have to wonder
if they just want people to quit.
It sounds like a setting in your Norton firewall.

you should be setting your rates according to what the market will bear...
not what you feel like getting. If you like the account, you're familiar with it and able to make good money off of it, you might want to stay at the rate you are at. As a service owner, I used to plan to hire at 7 but bring everyone eventually up to 10 cpl by 0.5 increases every six months. I also used to be able to raise the rates from the hospital, clinic or physician office every 2 years. Nowadays if I bid on a new account, I am regularly outbid at 11 cpl, with 24 TAT. I have discussed it with my IC MT's. If they want a raise, I can try to negotiate a raise from the hospital...but it jeopardizes our account. Every time you raise your rates, it's a signal for them to start shopping around. So I would say, based on what the market will bear, don't expect to be getting raises. Ever.
Is there a way to change the default setting in Word - sm
for line numbering? It keeps indenting 1-2-3,etc. to the first tab and I need the numbers along the left margin. I went to <format>, <bullets and numbering>, <customize>, and changed the number position and alignment, and it lines everything up on the left margin.
However, if I have another numbered section in the report, it goes back to the default setting, indenting to the first tab.
Is there a way to change the default, or do I have to go through these steps for each numbered list?
Thanks!
You turned off the white space setting. sm
First switch to page layout view, then go to the Tools menu, Options, then check the setting for white space between pages. You can turn this off real easy if you happen to click your mouse near the top of the page.
I moved cross country, setting up sm
every night in a different motel, and with no laptop, either. I just used whatever table they provided and setup my total PC system, and got the work done. Not the usual situation, but it worked fine. It sure was not a vacation, though, but a cross country move. Had to stop by dark every night and get some sleep, get up a midnight to work 6 hours, then move on. Made a lot of money, at least as much as usual.
Setting goals helped me tremendously
I have had burnout in the past and when I did usually tried to take a day or two off. Do not have it now but I just got tired of making a low salary like I was doing so decided I would increase my speed as far as blocking out everything else during the day in order for me to achieve my goal. This last paycheck really paid off. It was $400 more dollars than the time before and I am staying at the increased line count. I like the money and that is more than enough to put some speed in my production. I do not like those lousy paychecks at all.
You may have to change the port setting for the footpedal.
Under Settings, Control tab. Try different ones to see if you can find one that will work with your pedal.
Actually, the double space setting is not quite the right answer.
Double-space will make affect all lines. The best way to get the appearance of a blank link is to change the paragraph setting. Mine is set to 12 points after a paragraph. One hit of the enter key and it looks like there's a blank line between paragraphs but it still only counts as one line.

User Acct Control Setting
Hi there,
I have had a few problems with Vista like this. I currently use Express Scribe with a USB foot pedal and its working fine for me. I have had to tweak a few things though to make Vista work with most of my transcription software. One thing I have noticed for most programs to work with Vista that I use for transcription, the user account control setting has to be turned off. I keep it off all of the time now. Here is a link on how to do that.
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/help/58b3b879-924d-4e08-9358-c316055d3eae1033.mspx
Also, if that doesn't seem to work there is another Vista option I have used with a lot of success. It is a software compatibility feature that enables software that worked fine with XP to be able to work fine on Vista. Here is a link to that as well.

Need help on setting up Word expanders and spell check
Hi All,
I will be starting a new job soon, and it looks like I will be typing in my own computer's Word program. I managed to download my old Expander entries from my old job into Notepad, so I now have a list of my expansions. I am wondering if anyone has any good tips on doing something with the Notepad entries to get them into AutoCorrect in Word, or do I have to just go through the whole list manually and make new entries into Word AutoCorrect to use for my new expander?
I am also open to any and all suggestions to the Word spellchecker since it does not know LOTS of medical terms and drugs. Just start entering them manually or buy a medical spellchecker that interphases with Word? I saw some listed when I Googled it, but they seem awful expensive. 100$ and more. Any suggestions?
THanks!
Make sure you haven't changed a setting by accident.
Check that you are not "shrinking" the document or have checked to print two pages on one page.
Volume Setting Command for Transnet/ExText
Anyone there who knows how to "permanently" set the volume for Transnet/ExText speech? I know to double-click on the volume icon to raise the volume for "Each Report", but not how to do it "permanently". I did it once by accident, but with recent upgrades, it wiped it out again. Anyone? Thanks!

If you are working at an hourly rate in a hospital setting, then you are

Have done both, and still prefer at home, making more money and setting my own hours. (sm)
In-house your required to meet a productivity of nothing less here on the east coast of 135 to 155 lines per hour, not to mention the QA's done weekly!! Yes, weekly, random 10 reports per MT!! I never had a problem with the QA's always between 99.6% and 99.8%. But, you work straight, no talking, in your little box (I call it). Yes, the benefits are a perk, but not that much and I worked 2nd shift always, so it was 18% of my base wage. I am still making more at home productivity wise and take a break when I want to. But, like you said circumstances change. Good luck!!
Setting up macro in Word for jump code...inside
(you can actually use any key on the keyboard, I actually use F3 because it doesn't seem to interfere with anyting.)
I call it a "jumpcode" and what you need to do is create a Word macro for it. For example, I use (Alt + /) to insert blanks in a document. Now if I want to jump to the blanks I use (Alt + >). In reading your question, it sounds as if the symbol you want to "jump" to is already in the document, so you would just have to define the jumpcode for that prompt.
So, first create your macro.
1. Tools - Macro - Record New Macro.
2. Name your macro (ex. Jumpcode) or use the default Macro name
3. Assign macro to Keyboard.
4. Pick what keys to assign the keyboard macro - Example Alt + J (NOTE - SOME KEYS ARE ALREADY DEFAULT ASSIGNED BY WORD. SYSTEM WILL ALERT YOU TO THIS FACT! YOU WOULD THEN PICK ANOTHER KEY OR THE DEFAULT WORD KEY WILL BE OVERWRITTEN)
5. Select Assign - Close
6. You will then notice the "record macro function" come on (symbol of a little tape cassette will appear on screen). All key strokes from this point will be recorded until you turn off record macro function.
7. Recording your macro. Since the jumpcode you want to jump to is the >" you should set it up this way:
A. Ctrl + F (the find function). This will pull up the "Find and Replace" box.
B. Type in the prompt you want to find which would be >"
C. Hit "Find Next"
D. Then close "Find and Replace" box.
E. Stop recording. (Hit the square in the record macro icon)
Now when you hit "Alt + J" system should jump to the >" prompt in your document
I would suggest setting a date and posting it on here multiple times
before jumping the gun and telling your employer you are not working today. If you really want this to be successful, you will need to rally and get everyone prepared and ready for it. Give us all a little time to get our finances in order so that we can go a month without pay while on strike, know when it is coming, prepare everyone else we know, etc. That will take a couple of months. If you really want success, you have to plan, not just fly by the crotch of your seat.
Are you setting up the open trunk like a scene of some sort? Are there prizes? Never heard of this
