Is the mute button on your keyboard engaged?
Posted By: Hayseed on 2007-01-30

You can tell if the volume is on mute by right clicking on the little volume icon at the bottom right hand of your screen, next to where the time is displayed. Click on "Open Volume Control" and make sure nothing is checked off in the little "mute" boxes. That's where I'd start first anyway...not that I have any first-hand experience in that particular matter

if pressing the mute button doesn't sm
work are you sure it hasn't been hit by lightening? I was told by the repair guy that when you get done using the C-phone you should always unplug it from the phone jack. These things get hit very easily and sometimes you don't even realize it until you go to use it. I am testimony to that as I have fried three of them!!!!!!!!
I have a search button on my keyboard--sm
that will open the search task window without having to go through the desktop program. there is another way to access it with key functions, but I am not sure what exactly that is, as I have only found that by accident and I was not particularly watching what key codes I had put in. Perhaps someone else knows that. and perhaps you can assign a key combination to open that for you on your keyboard. sorry I couldn't be much more help.
Foot pedal keyboard button?
I have had trouble with my feet while working the foot pedal. One of the services I worked for had a button attached to their keyboard where they could use that to start and stop the dictation, instead of the footpedal. I know theirs was proprietary, and I couldn't get one from them, but I just wondered if there was something like that out there that could be purchased? Has anybody else heard of this.
He drew my blood for my marriage license - engaged to someone else
True story. My husband was the one who was drawing my blood for my marriage license. I was engaged to someone else, and back then you have to have your blood drawn before you got married. When I sat down, he said to me "are you sure you want to get married before you and I have a chance to get to know each other?" I cracked up and realized he was right - I needed to get to know him before I got married to somebody else. We have been married 24 years - 4 children and 2 grandchildren.
Yes, but have to mute it and put captions on. nm

If you use a standard keyboard you can buy an old IBM model M keyboard on ebay or clickykeyboards.co
That key printing never wear down because the letters are part of the key itself. They just don't make them that way anymore because it is too expensive to make. Some of the mechanical keyboards like Cherry have what they double shot key imprinting and the letters are part of the key itself and don't wear off. That IBM keyboard is very noisy from the type of keyswitch it has so you may not like that. Logitech and Belkin make some membrane switch keyboards that are supposed to have longer lasting key imprints. I have a logitech that has the longer lasting key imprints and it is pretty good. You have to look on the specs to find out if has the longer lasting key printing.
I have experimented so much with keyboards and have done a lot of research. Way too much info.
I use a laptop with a full-size keyboard (no separate keyboard)
I'm using a lap desk but previously was using a pillow with a book on it under the laptop. No additional keyboard though, I bought one with a full-sized board with regular size keys (an HP) which I LOVE and it took no time at all to get used to it. I also love that when the weather improves, I can take my computer outside and get some fresh air! What a great job... :)
Keyboard and mouse. Is there such a thing as a keyboard that has a mouse on the actual keyboard?

Did not know about the button at the top
My eyes usually do not go up there. I reported it too.
YUCK, YIKE. He or she is probably too cheap to put an ad in the paper.
Is there an OKAY button there?
I was thinking there was something you needed to do to verify changing the volume, speed, etc., before you closed that box but I can't remember for sure.

Is the autosum function part of Word?
Where is the JUMP TO button?
I no longer have the boards on the left either, and have tried all of the fixes suggested by MTStars. I did see a JUMP TO feature when I checked out a message posted on one of the state boards a couple of days ago, but it only allowed for jumping to another state. Would really like to be able to use this feature. TIA for any help!
Use the Load button.
Find the Load button in the toolbar, navigate to where the file is saved and load it into Express Scribe.
hit the "view" button

Pause button!
Sorry have to vent. Why is it doctors are completely incapable of using the pause button! I mean honestly and I quote. "Hold on, hold on just hold on one second" followed by mumbling to herself. "hold on for computer change, hold on for computer change, (insert 4-letter expletive beginning with the letter s) radiology isn't on this computer, hold on, hold on" and then switches sections entirely. And last but not least, "hold on I'll get you the length of time of dosage of the Vantin, started on 04/12/2008, 13, 14, 15 (insert same expletiive), 13, 14, 15,16, so for a total of 6 does of the Vantin." Bear in mind I'm also having to put up with a doctor who sounds like Fran Drescher with a head cold!!!! This doctor always does this I mean honestly I have better things to do with my time (like make money) then have a doctor have the audacity to tell me to hold on one second and listen to them curse!! Sorry had to get that off my chest.
Go to your "Start" button
on left bottom corner of screen > Open Menu for Programs > Shortcuts will be there to open the dictionaries.
There is a Print Screen Button..
at the top line of your keyboard. Press it and then go to your Windows paint and > Edit > Paste it there.

Do a Search from the "Start" button. sm
Do a search from the Start button. Click search, type in a phrase or name that is in your template, click on search documents or entire database. There is where to find it. You will see the search in progress and on the right-hand side, the files with that name or containing part of whatever you typed in, will be there.
on the toolbar, next to the Bold button
There should be a little box with a number in it and a little black arrow. If you click on the arrow, it will bring up a bunch of font sizes. I would pick 12 as it is a standard size for printing. Hope that helps.
there is a report message button .....
Just FYI from me, just another poster...
when you feel like reporting a post, and you are reading their post - at the almost top right is a button that says REPORT MESSAGE. This way, you merely report that particular message without having to post to the administrators/moderators here. I've been posting here for 4 years now....and they added that button a couple of years ago. You see the button when you are INSIDE someone's post reading it....
Just trying to help....have a GREAT day!!! 
You are hitting the Ctl button by accident..sm

Kinesis Keyboard and keyboard tray
Okay, any lefties use this keyboard? How long did it take to get used to? I use my left thumb for the space bar and I notice on a diagram of the keys that I would always be hitting the backspace key.
I'm really interested in getting a better keyboard. I destroyed my left hand and wrist the other week when I fell because I'm becoming a real klutz.
I bought the Soft Flex gloves, but they only help a little bit. My production is down because of it and it's driving me crazy. I can only type an hour without stopping and then have to rest the hand for some time.
I did buy a Microsoft 2000 keyboard but have yet to recieve it. Is this a good one?
Do you use a keyboard tray with it or just set it on the desk? Do you think a kayboard tray would be the least expensive item right now that would help with a straight keyboard?
Any info you can provide to help me in making any decision would be greatfully appreciated.
'Scuse me for being old school, but I've only ever used a straight keyboard.
Does anyone know of a keyboard that has the backspace key in the center of the keyboard? NM

built in shelves, cute as a button!
Love it plus it is small with a built-in desk too!
Oops. Hit the send button too quickly.
How long before the person asking if you "want flies with that" will be from another country?
I can also understand why someone would move to another country to work because of economic reasons. We're approaching a time where the cost of a gallon of gas may be higher than the hourly minimum wage. 
Oops...thought I hit the reply button on the
original post.

Okay, there's the problem-view button is not highlighted
am I locked out of it or something. I don't have the view option to click on???
hit insert button before filling in fields.
see if that works for you. You will need enough space in between or you will type over the next field.
you also can do columns but I am not good at those; hopefully someone else will come along with info on that.
MS Office Button is top lt hand corner
when you are in Word. I actually added the button for my tool bar across the top of Word, as I like 2007 too look similar to 2003 Word. So, now I have the button for auto correct as an easy access.
