no. it is an internet browser. Windows is the OS. nm

I know that IE is an internet browser and I know that Windows is an OS!
Sheesh!  My point is they are both made by Microsoft and they both have endless updates.  That was my point.  Apparently it went over the heads of some.  Next time I'll try and dumb down my response.
A much better browser to use than Internet Explorer. You will love it!

Switching your internet browser doesn't automatically
make you immune to ALL viruses. Firefox is a browser just like Internet Explorer. The Windows XP viruses come through your operating system, not your browser. Viruses can also come through your email program. Your ports can be hacked no matter which browser you use, too.
Internet based transcription - need advice on how to go internet
Can anyone offer any help/advice on how go about becoming internet based from a call in system, or how to keep the call in system for the docs and put transcriptionists on the internet?  Not sure where to start to get information on how to go about doing this. Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.
Most are internet based. $$$

Not anymore. Most are internet based.

You need to use your password to get in there and it is an internet based website that is why you
need to get set up if you dont have a password or just go to the website and follow along.
All internet-based accounts & laptops...sm
Excuse me for being so dense about this, but what kind of laptop and internet connection do you all get that enables you to work outdoors or on the road?  Can this work for anybody on any internet-based account?  Do you just plug your foot pedal in your laptop, hook up to internet (but how do you connect to the internet when you are outside or camping?) and go to work.  If someone could explain this to me in detail, I would very much appreciate it.   TIA
Are there any companies out there OTHER than MQ that hire part time SE or IC that are internet based
that are a decent company that supply you with a decent amount of work.
14.00/hr for radiology private contractor job/PT, internet based. Good dictation.

When he said we pay by the hour not the line, I was unprepared to give him my fee!   I typed for these rads when I worked at the hospital so know them well.  About two hours per day of work for their outpatient imaging center (MRIs, CTs, mammograms, ultrasounds).


Thanks!


The sound clip is internet based, like music, play and stop.
Teletrak has position available for PT work. Taking the test without foot pedal though is difficult and I wondered if I were just slow (20 yr long MT) or if others would consider this test also a daunting task.

Thanks
Does anyone know how to put Outlook Express emails over to Outlook so they can be backed up to CD?

Yes, Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express are different programs
One of my jobs required me to switch from Outlook Express to Microsoft Outlook. It took a little while to get used to, but now I love it. If I keep Outlook open but minimized, new emails pop up on my desktop (you can set how long it stays there) so I know if it is important, like a new voice file, or just spam or something that can wait until later. You can even reply to the email from your desktop without ever opening Outlook. Pretty cool.
I'm using Outlook and Outlook Express and I've realized
that Outlook (my personal email account through comcast) is not pulling email from server. I can't even get to the Comcast homepage to try to get my email that way. However, my Outlook Express is set up just for my work email... different server, different ports. That's working just fine. Comcast has been changing ports in recent months, and I bet they did something that messed everything up. I hate to go to the techs there. They'll want me to change settings, and then I'll have a mess on my end, too.

Grrrrr. I just want my email and want to be able to get to some key websites that I use. Other websites are completely trouble-free, though. I've never seen this happen before.
Line-based vs. hour-based requirement
Hospitals do have an hourly requirement, and generally incentive after a certain line level. MQ only has a line based requirement, which is 12,000 per pay period. The hourly requirement is strange, unless they now plan to convert to an hourly pay plan?
Which web browser are you using?
Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Mozilla?  I had a weird problem with one of my websites that I couldn't access all of a sudden.  I think I deleted an internet utility, registry entry, or some java doohickey, or it's possible they changed their website.  Anyway, I downloaded Mozilla and use that for this specific website now.  I don't have time to mess with trouble shooting Internet Explorer, and I have a new computer sitting in boxes behind me that I haven't had time to set up yet.  Give Mozilla a try just to see what happens.
what browser are you using?
With internet explorer I was so now I'm using Firefox, everything is going fine.

I suspect it has to do something with the security breach with IE.
What is your fave browser?
Mine is Firefox - love how fast it is, plus tabbed browsing rules! Much better and safer than old Internet Explorer, I must say. BTW, the newest version of Firefox comes out today (free download) which is supposed 2B even better!
Check your browser
Possibly updated or reinstalled?

If you have Firefox, go to Tools ---> Options ----> Content. IE is similar.


You will see a link for "colors." You can check to see what the current settings are for "visited" and "unvisited" links.

Foxfire browser
I noticed someone below mentioned they use Foxfire.  Any comments on this browser?  Is it much better?  Any specifics appreciated.

browser exploit is a vulnerability within your IE

Microsoft has a patch for the browser

has a language option. I use it all the time when I need to transcribe for UK
on your tool bar at the top....
there is a paragraph symbol. click that and your formatting should turn off.
tool bar

Open Word, run your mouse up to the top of the page and right click in the space where you would see the tool bar, another elongated box should pop up, click standard or whatever tool boxes you use.  If this does not get your tool bar back, under tools go to customize.  This will bring up the same information to access your various tool bars.


HOPE THIS HELPS!

I'm ready to sign! But when I cut & paste it to my browser,
nothing comes up.
Yep, I'm a complete tool like that.

I thought as I aged I would grow cojones...the problem is, we moved up here and it's just so far away from friends and family, that when company does show up, planned or not, it is truly a blessing.  I am incredibly lonely up here, and as I work out of a home in a land where I don't know ANYONE except my immediate neighbors, friends have not been easy to make and, well, you can see why I have so many postings on this board. 


So, I guess I'll continue to treat people as I wish to be treated...with a big hug, a warm smile, and a "I'm so glad you were able to stop by"...and then stress out and drink black coffee laced with 1/4 pound of suger catching up on work while they sleep soundly.  I only got this one life, so I might as well try to squeeze everything into it with at least a calm and cool outer appearance    ;-)


 


moving tool bar
So I played around with Word. There are three dots to the right of the word File. Put your curser on the three dots and drag them back up to your tool bar. They will then be in a "little bar/box" then click on that bar again and "drop" it back on top. Hope that helps!
pick your tool
I am a slow-medium typer, and I do quite well straight typing, using a word Expander program and LOTS of expansions. With VR I found less opportunity to take advantage of expansions. Expander programs and VR are both tools we can use to increase our productivity. Because the VR pay is so low, I choose to straight type and use the expander tool.
downloading a tabbed browser will solve that problem

not the sharpest tool in the shed

great motivational tool

I have found that this greatly motivates me to keep my speed up.  I set one of those metal change counters that you wear on your waist next to my screen. Everytime I complete a line I press the nickel lever and a nickel falls out. Just the sound of that makes me want to type faster.  For those of you who make 7 to 8 cpl, it is a few more presses per line, but definitely will keep you going as fast as you can.


 


tool bars moving
Usually you can click - drag and drop them where you want them - hope this works for you this time.

SEARCH tool does not work...

When I try using the SEARCH tool, to look up past information, it does not work.  Is this just temporary, or am I doing something wrong?

MS word tool bar - another question
I also lost the "paragraph" symbol and cannot seem to get it back the same as the print and print preview method. Can you guide me on this one as well
MS WORD - TOOL BAR QUESTION

Part of my toolbar, from file through help, is now vertical along the left side of my screen. I checked "help" but could not come up with the solution for moving it back to the horizontal top of the screen position.


Thank you


I think you click on the symbol for return on your tool bar

Great tool for creating shortcuts

I just found this really great site with a tool on it for counting the repeated phrases in documents which we as MTs can use to make shortcuts! 


here it is:  http://medicaltranscriptionexpandproductive.blogspot.com/


My Norton's just blocked a browser exploit with a high security risk...
just now when I entered the main board forum here on MTSTars.  I would like to know what that is all about! 
The water bottle is a very good training tool

for cats (squart guns too).  Get a good scratching post and rub it with catnip.  I use double-sided tape that I get from the Foster&Smith website and the cats leave my furniture alone.  (I have 4 cats).  The log is a nice idea too...messy but nice in addition to scratching posts and such. 


Not all combs/brushes are created equal and I have found that the curry-comb type work best.  They are sometimes called a shedding comb.  It is in the shape of a loop with a handle.  I put a towel on the floor and go to town!  In the spring I can get a cat-sized ball of fur off of them using this comb.  Regular combing will really help keep your house cleaner.  You still need to use a roller or duct tape placed around your hand to remove it from your furniture on a regular basis.  Good luck.


icons/tool tray on side of screen
Can't move them back to the bottom where they were, inadvertently moved them when resizing screens.  How do I get them back on the bottom?  TIA
Transferring Bayscribe Productivity Tool into Word

Does anyone know if it's possible to make the Bayscribe Productivity Tool work in Microsoft Word?  Or at the very least, transfer the expansion list into Word's expander?


its a tool like macros, you have to teach it to understand you and edit at first the words it does
What I understand is, it helps out if you have body parts that are giving out, but it will not, say.. double your production. 
There is an upload hanheld icon on the tool bar of the Olympus software.
from the unit to the computer, then the file can be dragged and dropped.  Good luck!
There is a a button on your speech tool bar called "General Settings" SM
it has a hammer and wrench on the button.  Click that button and you will see in the center of the box that opens up (and slight to the right) "number of spaces after period."  Change that to 2 and click okay.  That should give you two spaces after the period at the end of the sentence.
You have to set up Outlook to do what you think I don't know what
Some versions of Outlook do not have this feature. Mine does. It is located under advanced mail options, tracking. Please do not assume others don't know what they are talking about unless you wrote the program.
