That should be fine except for the hyphen (type 2 is not a compound modifier). nm

hyphen words
My Stedman's Orthopaedic and Rehab Words book shows lunotriquetral (one word no hyphen) and scapholunate (one word no hyphen)Spelling on both is a little different than yours.
Hyphen usage in the following

Serious question for a hyphen pro
ASR often comes through with a suture stated as 0-Vicryl. I don't think this is correct, as I would not type 2-0-Vicryl but just 2-0 Vicryl or 0 Vicryl. Any opinions?
No hyphen in 0 Vicryl. nm

hyphen in mid-phalanx
I was just about to make a post about whether or not to put a hyphen in the word mid-phalanx .. saw this post but am still confused as to whether or not to use a hyphen. Please help.
even midday does not need a hyphen, and definitely
not midafternoon.
Word is not always a reliable source for correct grammar and punctuation.
Add the nonbreaking hyphen in your entry. sm
Add the nonbreaking space for your other entries.
In MS Word, the shortcuts are: Ctrl+Shift+Hyphen and Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar
no hyphen but Client Profile comes first...SM
Too lengthy to type here - but if you can get to a BOS (Book of Style) it covers hyphens from pages 207-211 in their entirety!! 
Doctors prefer no hyphen.

cntrl+shift+hyphen
I agree, but drop the hyphen (nm)

agree... but leave the hyphen in!
either way is correct. They are moving away from the hyphen but it is not incorrect.

BOS under prefixes says to omit the hyphen in most re- words. But..sm
say to use re-cover (to cover again not recover from surgery) and re-create (not recreate, meaning to play). Or use it if the resulting word will be awkward as in re-x-rayed or re-emphasize or re-introduce. This is on page 330 of BOS II.
But even though it's in print, your QA may still disagree with you. :) nm
Positive the hyphen doesn't go in sm for Vicryl
The zero (0) and one (1) can stand alone. You put a # if the dictate it, not if they don't. 1 Vicryl, or 0 Vicryl is correct, as is 2-0 Vicryl and 3-0 Vicryl and 5-0 Vicryl Rapide (not RePEED) as I had an MT transcribe and who SHOULD have looked this up!
Numbers really can stand alone, as above or in 2 days' time. I had an MT type in 1-day and that is wrong, it is just 1 day or even one day. We are so used to sticking stuff together with hyphens and what not, it seems odd at times, but it is true. I'd rather see a number stuck alone that really needs to be a compound modifier, than see them always as compound modifiers when they are not. This is the most common error I am seeing in QA right now.
drop the hyphen, it is a stand alone, no noun follows.nm

look up each definition..and it is drug-eluting stent. with hyphen.

Stedmans has it with NO hyphen; that's how I've been typing for years. NM
I don't know, but the AHDI will probably want to get rid of that hyphen in Fisher-Price to save a

A hyphen never killed anyone but a left and right error did and I catch plenty of those as the MT.
blah - these aren't rules, they are decisions made by a circle of anal retentive MTs. Dorland's and a grasp of the English land and basic sentence structure all make it happen but a love of medicine is what makes an expert in this field because they follow the doctor's hands, eyes and mind.
don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

For me it isn't an account type but a dictator type ...
and that would be oriental. An oriental dictator (hahaha, that kind of sounds funny...hahaha) is the most challenging for me.
No, you don't type directly into ES. You type in Word -
or whatever their platform is, just like you did with your tapes.
Then you do your line count in Word or the platform.
You should type them. I usually type them in parentheses following the diagnosis.

remind me, type what they say, type what they say, type....

Shorthand users: Is there a way to type a word, use a slash and then type another word..sm
immediately following the slash and have it expand. For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark? TIA
Right above where you type (SM)
There is a "T" with a colored block. You can highlight the text you want to color, click on that block, and then click on the color you want to make it. :)
I hope your kitty will be around for more years to come. I know 19 is very old for a kitty. :( It's hard to think about losing one of our "babies."
Take care,

TV on while you type?
Do you keep the television on while you type? I think I would get alot more done if I would stop watching TV and stop surfing the web!
If you don't know what type you have,
you probably don't have an FTP server. You would have to know that to set it up and configure it.
FTP stands for file transfer protocol, which just means that it's a way to upload and download files from a server using the Internet. If you'd like free FTP software for a potential job, you can download CoreFTP for free from Download.com at the following link.

how would you type this?
How would you type "section 8 housing"? Would it be Section 8 housing, Section -8 housing, Section-8 Housing or Section 8 Housing?
TIA
Tabatha in Charleston, SC
you type what?
Ummmmmmm, okay! LOL!
you never type don't or can't but only do not and cannot etc...lol
If all you have to do is type....
and they do all the rest (if you are subcontracting through a service), after the 25% take, they are paying you 9.75 cents per line and that is better than most national companies. Plus, hopefully, you do not have to learn 100 or more dictators! If this is the case, go for it!
