New puter with Vista - need Word!
Has anyone needed to buy Word 2003 on their new Vista computer to handle their client's documents? Is it compatible? I need to make a decision if I'm to use their "Works" program installed (will have to pay $300 at the end of the trial period) or just go ahead and buy Word 2003 and Excel on my own. Thanks for any 2c. I need to decide Today, so I can start transcribing again next week!! Happy Easter..
It should be fine. I was told the same thing about old versus new puter and nothing

I was told to contact escription before going to Vista.
I still have XP though.
my son is a computer grad and told me not to get vista
on my new lap top. i ordered direct from Toshiba with windows XP.
Also was told Office 2007 is meant for Vista.
It requires a lot more power than most machines have with Windows XP.
Just turned on puter
and find all kinds of slander about the x-3. So if you are confident that I have been "bad mouthing" the company give me your facts. If I recall correctly I went off on you and apologized for it. You are the one in the end that said you needed time to lick your wounds. I have not bad mouthed the company to anyone!!!! and to quote someone whom I thought was an excellent friend "venting to friends is okay, that is what friends are for."
I am actively seeking employment, will continue to do so, and keep my opinions of the company to myself. If you feel I have done otherwise share the facts you have, give me a chance to defend myself.......
It tears me apart on a daily basis that we have no friendship........if you truly feel you cannot forgive me that is fine, but please don't bash me on a public board about things that are not true.
Thanks, is on my daughter's puter and will try...nm

be a good little person and get off Mom's puter
 
Do you shut your puter down overnight?
Just curious how many shut completely down at the end of your work day or overnight? Why or why not?
trouble since hooking up 2nd puter
I set up a second computer in my home. I had a router hooked up for this purpose by my telephone technician. It is a brand new router, Lynxys brand. Since then I have had problems with staying connected to the Internet.
I shut off the firewall on my pc and that seems to have taken care of the problem on that computer. The second computer is from a MT co. that I am starting to work for. I cannot stay connected to the Internet on their computer. The phone tech was out and checked everything and the router and phone connection is fine.
I am at a loss since I am not an IT person but an MT. It is so frustrating.
Any ideas?
TIA
You should be able to find the folder on your puter sm
and open it in word or notepad and see everything there. Check out the Instant Text site for their forums, I am sure there is a blow-by-blow there for you to follow. I have never done it, so I am not 100% sure.

Desktop or Laptop? Gotta buy a new puter...sm
Not sure whether I would like to buy another desktop or a laptop. My hubby has a laptop and the only way I can transcribe on his is if I use an adaptor to connect my ergonomic keyboard. I am wondering if the screen from the laptop would cramp my style. I am leaning more towards another desktop because I can use my hubby's when traveling, but then still question what brand. Anyone willing to give some suggestions as far as brand, specs, capabilities. I would rather hear from fellow MTs versus sales people in the store selling me things I really do not need. Thanks!!
Can you put the old drive in new puter and copy AutoCorrect from old

That puter with a D is OK if you don't have to call (India) service n/m
New Ativa keyboard not being read by puter...anyone know why?
Or is a return trip to Office Depot in my near future...

I told you once, I told you twice, eTransPlus is going down the drain!
Don't expect communication from anyone, we are only little "peons."
KVMs $20-60. One internet connection. You'd have no email or a 2nd email acct for your 2nd puter.

TELL EMPLOYER!!
I'm going through the same thing. Twenty years of experience and this career is fast going downhill. Used to make $19 per hour, now can barely make $13 because of MEDQUIST. Even though I do not work for them, they have ruined my paychecks.
As a single mom, I struggled enough as it was. Now, it's absolutely horrible. I work two full-time jobs and have no time for my children (especially my 12yo diabetic son). I hate to change careers, but it looks like I'm going to have to.
I hope to see this all go public someday. I want to see VR and EMR backfire completely!!!! Okay, I don't know if that helped or if will do any good, but I got it off my chest. Thanks and sorry for the rambling. :)
new employer?
do you mind saying who you went to work for? i've been with MQ for a little over 3 years and ready for a change - tired of all of the psychological bullshit that they think we're falling for.
This is also not an employer who has never
not like a company that you never see your employee. I feel that makes it a little easier for some of these companies to do what they do to their employees...Easier when you don't actually have to face someone.
Maybe your next employer.

Employer??? An employer
Think about what you are saying. Yes if the painter decides he's going to have to finish another day, so be it. I chose the painter didn't I. I also have the right to tell that painter forget about it and find another painter, and the turn around and call back the same painter who had the better job. It's all business. You cannot control an IC.
Did you ever consider that the employer has a right to use that name, not you?
Some names are trademarked and you could be in more than just a little bit of trouble if a company found something like this and wanted to make an example of the person who did something like that.
Business names are registered to the person/people who use them for their business. They have the right to ask that it not be used when they feel it's not appropriate.
Then why ask how DH could be employer and

That is just such bs. An employer should have..at least..
6 months worth of expensives tucked/socked away. Where did these people attend school at??? No way would I go for that. During the contract walk through, I definitely would have specified 2 dates of the month; i.e. 15th and 30th. Anything else is... well...as all job descriptions state at the very end: and to include other duties as assigned.'
The employer is asking for it, so - sm
what do you expect the MT to do? Tell the employer it's not necessary?
It's not. The employer has been, (like many)

I would think your employer would
be concerned about HIPPA violations. If someone is hacking into their files, this is major concern. Since it apparently is your personal computer, I guess you could either acquire or request another that would only be for hospital work or try one of the geek services to trace it back. I am afraid this would involve $. Since it involves HIPPA, wouldn't that be a felony? What an unusual problem. I bet they will end up finding out a lot about this guy.
Who was your previous employer? I'm more
interested in making "insane amounts of money" than if an employer is nice to me. That's my personal preference.
Mind telling me who your previous was?
Thx.
I think though with SE the employer has to match the SS but IC is not that way. I rather like SE
status and I know there are some companies that have that but I dont know which ones.
Two accounts at each employer ...
Main accounts are acute care hospital; secondary accounts are clinics. At one employer, haven't typed on secondary account in over 6 months. At other employer, type on secondary maybe 8 hours every other month.
shouldn't you ask your employer
Is your employer hiring?
Thanks for the tips.
so, if your employer is QAing
production and quality are high, why wouldn't they be able to judge your ability without being certified by AAMT who has sold their soul to large transcription companies like Medquist who offshore?
Shouldn't an employer pay
Not doing that is what has made the world go upside down right now.
If I am paid 7/cents a line and my cost of living is based on 12/cents a line plus
benefits, it's almost impossible to keep working for that company who is paying
7/cents a line.
It's pretty simple.
America still demands that we live an "American life style - no sh^t in the rivers, building codes, codes on how many people can live in a dwelling, high insurance rates, etc etc"
well, paying all that and making what a company is paying a peoples who don/'t have those demands is insane.
It's a simple question to our leaders?
Do you want us to live like the third world country? or do you want to give us ability to make salaries to pay for the LIFE STYLE America is demanding we do.
Frankly I'm sick and tired of paying for free loaders of any color. When I saw Laurie Duh (don't know how to spell her name) on Fox yesterday report that one of the homeless from New Orleans........went out and bought a LOUIS VUITTON PURSE
with the $2000 she got..........I STARTED SCREAMING and if I could have gotten my hands around the neck of the idiot who thought it was a good idea to give these people the money in the first place I would have strangled him.........and then I would have done the same to the woman who bought the purse.
I'm sitting here in pain from a bad tooth and no insurance.........and she bought a purse.........LOUIS VUITTON.
p.s. Billfolds in Louis Vuitton start at around $600 and the purses are around $1500 to $5,000.
You have to remember that you have no employer sm
matching your Social Security withholdings.
No - My employer does match (sm)
The SS tax, so I guess I'm technically a statutory employee with the added benefit of a very flexible schedule that an IC would have.
Convincing employer that you can do the job-sm
I want to apply for a job that I am confident I can perform; however, there are a few things listed in the job description that I am not familiar with. How do I address this when applying.  In the cover letter? And how do I address it? I meet all the qualifications except one and I know I can learn it. I feel like I need to address this somehow. The other option is to not apply and at all and I really want to shoot for it. I would appreciate some input on this situation. Thanks!
