I changed the background and text colors in the Windows appearance settings.
It does not transfer to anybody else. The colors you see on your screen are going to depend on your video card so only you can play with the colors to find one that is soothing to your eye.
Shorthand, I believe works in all Windows
programs. It works in my email, etc. so should work in Works also
It works in any Windows environment, but to be sure you might want
to download the demo and check it first. See the link below.
Shorthand works everywhere in Windows.
Can't speak for that platform specifically... but ShortHand for Windows works everywhere, including e-mail, instant messaging, and every other place that you type. They even have a 30-day free trial so you can download and test it out before laying out the $$.
Anybody know if Shortcut for Windows works with Chartscript? nm

ITVPro also works in any Windows application sm
If you find you need a glossary, write me and I'll send you mine. Only about 19K to 20K strong and I have used for about 12 years.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
I use Shorthand for Windows and love it. I have found it works well with most every program. SM
I have used with Word and Word Perfect. I have used it with Meditech and Cerner. I have used it with RadNet and StarNavigator for Radiology. I can use it with my email applications and on the internet if I choose. If the Expander is open and running, you can use it with any and every window program you use.
I was really simple to learn to use too. Very user friendly.
What is the version of word for windows that works best for you? Still working off 2000.

MTStars FlashType works in any Windows environment including Vista.

Are you working in DOS or Windows? In Windows, it's Kilobytes.

I would say pack up and run as far as you can! sm
This guy sounds like my ex-husband. I'm only hoping you don't have children.
My ex is bipolar, OCD, etc., etc., but there was never anything wrong with him. It was always everyone elses fault. I got tired of keeping the perfect little house, the perfect little yard, making sure that he was okay, making sure his eggs were perfectly cooked just right in the middle, and that the kids were okay when daddy was in "one of his moods."
When he started having an attitude with the kids (at ages 5 and 2), I finally filed for divorce. His "punishment" for me has been telling the kids that they are "worthless" because they have me for a mother and that I am "insane". When they started going through their early teen years he just stopped talking to them because they did not live up to his "expectations."
He never went to counseling, but my kids did for many years. He told everyone that his kids were in counseling because their mother was insane. Of course nobody believed him. I see his mom and his sisters out and about a lot (small town). I don't say anything about my ex because I know that it is his family, but they will occasionally say, "Well, you know how he is."
Now he lives alone now in his perfect little house with the perfect little yard and has nobody to cook his perfect eggs. Friends, family, dozens of perfect girlfriends, and his own kids finally gave up on him a long time ago. Even the cat ran away. :)
Pack and run if the "boyfriend" (obviously noncommittal to your relationship) doesn't get help.
Good luck to you.
one can short of a six pack! nm
I would tell them to pack sand
With an attitude from a doctor like that, I would refuse to do his work. There is plenty of other work out there, and there are plenty of other MTs out there. I'm sure the doctor could find someone willing to put up with his crap and I could find someone willing to show some courtesy and respect for my time. Again, I admit I am living under a rock, but I just don't see why it has to be so difficult, and why we should have to put up with so much nonsense. We are all human beings, allegedly on the same team, so why can't we work together? Is it a power struggle? If it is, I'll lose becuase I don't need to be the bigger person; I need to be able to understand the dictator so I can transcribe the report.
Service Pack 3
Service pack 3 does not work with my spell check. Does anyone know how I can keep this thing from downloading on my computer?
but, also, now you don't have service pack 3. nm

DQS XP home Service pack 2
Hi there. I have a new computer and run XP home edition which contains service pack 2 and have never had a problem with DQS. My brother, however, ADDED service pack 2 to his older XP professional edition and had nothing but problems and eventually took it off. However, he downloads music and stuff and doesn't really know if the service pack was the problem. (He is not a transcriptionist, so no DQS info there.)
Hi! I'm the one who never has had a glitch, and I'm on XP with service pack 2! Maybe that's
Honestly, it is the fastest smoothest platform one could imagine - seamless, really. Never a problem - sound quality is perfect. I hate to say that, cause I'm not a MQ devotee, but the platform is truly awesome!
Yes - hubby is the pack rat. I throw everything that is not being used out.
After I read the newspaper, it is in the trash. Nothing sits around. Hubby would save everything; however, he works shift work, so when he is at work, I toss things in the trast. My home is neat and clean and everything is in its place all of the time!
Taught my 2 teens to be the same way - Love neat and clean and organized!
My home is not enjoyable if crap is everywhere - in my opinion.
Same here. I just pack my keyboard and plug it in.
There is no way I could be productive on a standard laptop keyboard.
he has been smoking on and off 1 pack of cigarettes for 5 years.
should be good for him.
Wouldn't that pack get stale or something, yuck!
tee hee, that's just frugal I think.
Remove Service Pack 3 and go back to
Service Pack 2. I had nothing but trouble with my computer with SP3. I do not have automatic downloads turned on. I go over to the microsoft.com website occasionally and see what is new for downloading. I choose the custom settings so I know exactly what is being uploaded.
Start
Control Panel
Add or Remove Programs
Find SP3 and remove it.
You need to download the conversion pack from Microsoft
website and then you should be able to convert your documents. Not sure if it will convert from Word 2003 or 2007 to WP5.1; however, WP5.1 can be converted to Word 2003 and higher.
I certainly hope no one in your family ever needs defending. You might pack up and leave them too.

I am so sorry to hear this. I also had a close call with a pack of dogs.
These dogs were a very different breed. They were a spitz type (similar in type to my sweet Siberians, but not of the peaceful pack type). The dogs look like huge Shiba Inus, but when they came at my through the tall grass, it looked like we were being hunted by a pack of hyenas. Four or five of them slipped right through a flimsy excuse for a fence and surrounded me and my two dogs. Thank goodness I was there and was able to keep a cool head to bellow at those dogs to stay back as I stood between my dogs and the pack and we backed away, back to the street. Thankfully some men had heard my initial screams and came out of their yards to meet us. It took a lot of phone calls from me and other people living nearby to force her to give up those dogs. They killed one small dog in the neighborhood and had a child cornered, too. I notice this lady replaced the dogs since with some bigger dogs. Some people don't deserve to have dogs.
I am so sorry for your loss. Do whatever is necessary to secure that fence - we had to bury chicken wire around ours to keep our escape artists in, but it's worth it.
Do get pictures of those monsters outside the owner's property. That was important where we live. You might also want to put up warning signs near the owner's property warning of her dangerous dogs, with photos. Maybe that will embarrass her. Go around and collect stories about these dogs from neighbors, and have them sign the descriptions of their experiences. Then mail those in to animal control with the pictures. If that doesn't do it, call the news station and get them to come and see for themselves.
We mingle with pit bulls at the dog park here, but these are well-socialized dogs. If they ever start acting inappropriate, these owners haul them out quickly, but it's pretty rare they have to.
I'm sorry that should den of lions or pack of wolves. Gotta get the terminology right!

My conversation with you is over. You sound worse than a pack of 6th grade girls.

Norton Internet Security 2009 and Service Pack 2 or 3??
I am having a heck of a time! I have Windows XP and just purchased Norton Internet Security 2009 for my antivirus, as my previous version is just about to expire. Upon installing it it says I have to install Service Pack 2 or higher for it to work. I never installed SP2 because I read that many, many had problems with it. Should I go ahead and download SP3? Is there anything I need to do before installing it? I'm thinking of taking the computer to a professional and having them download SP3 and install it for me because it makes me really nervous! Anyone have any experience with this? What should I do?
Thanks!
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
No such luck. The tech wants me to update to the XP service pack 2, but I've heard that can be tr

Bag of frozen peas for a cold pack and heat up dry rice in a sock for a hot one. Ah...nm

Exercise isn't the issue here, him lifting leg in house is. Bye, Bye, Pooch, pack your bags.nm
:{
Yeah..call me crazy but I pack it in bubble wrap and pillows..You'd be going a little further so
As far as a laptop, it's a hassle, but you can take that in a carryon bag so you know it would be knocked around. The worst part is that you have to take it out everytime you go through security at the airports but it isnt bad. I just ordered a laptop today so I can start taking that and retire my desktop..that is as long as this new adapter I just bought works like others say it will. My husband is bascially retired and I hated that he could travel without me so I quit my in-house jobs to go home this year doing transcription and now that summer is here and our little one is out of school, we're off and running. Vegas this month, then Calfornia the next..etc... I love this job!!!
NO, this sounds like good training. Dogs are low rank pack members of any family,

RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

Asked on the drug board...ever heard of a T-Teck Pack for pneumonia? Cant find any info on it. Help!
Has this changed?
Congrats!
Will all MTs be changed over to ASR?
x
no, nothing has changed.
Just a very bossy lady who waits until the last minute to give me the work, sometimes three to five days later than it came in, and then demands it ASAP. It isn't my fault she cannot keep up with the work.
Fed law changed that
We got a notice last year that the feds required they get 911 in place in all areas by the end of the year. When we first got it, we had no 911 service. We had to use the 911 service twice due to my son being so ill and it worked fine, however afterwards we had to reboot the modem and wait for half an hour to get the phone back. I think having a regular line just for local calls is advisable and using Vonage for long distance only or work is the safest way to go.
Has changed now though
My husband - now ex - has been in trucking for over 25 years and all of our friends have and are and were. It has changed a lot and also depends on whether you own your own or drive for someone else. Kind of like IC versus employee. Also a lot have also been outsourced as there are a lot of foreigners driving the trucks now a days. There is such a similarity between the two (MT and trucking) but this started with trucking sooner. Just like MT you do not make money unless you are moving and when that truck has to pay two salaries it is hard. But like you said, your dad raised four kids but in this day and age it would be hard to do. If you are cross country it is so hard watching expenses, etc. Again just like MT it was a good career and if you have been in it for years it is still decent pay but to start out in it, would not do that. Just like MT as I have very good accounts, make very good money but when someone talks to me about starting out in it, I do shudder a little as I read such horror stories on this board and I know it is not as easy to do as it was when I started 20+ years ago. I do still yearn for the open road sometimes though. It is a way to see the US. Drove through 42 of the 48 states here and Canada. Anyway that is my thoughts for what they are worth.
changed
Yes there have been changes but not all companies abide by them either. Some stuff comes up to be all subjective though and some companies QA team is quite picky. Obviously your own accounts still like what you do so I wouldn't worry about it.
Maybe you changed the
spellcheck setting so that capitalized words would be spellchecked, which is a very smart thing to do.
I don't know how to make the change the poster below mentioned, but I'd rather have it spellcheck names than not spellcheck capitalized words, especially since I have to cap allergies.
I just changed ..
I did start at 4 a.m. but was finding it very difficult to get up consistently. Now I start at 5, and it's much easier. Due to kid's activitise it is often 10:30-11:00 pm before I get to bed, and I just personally could not do it.
so, you would have to make going to bed early a priority ..
Good luck to you!
I would think that if ANYTHING is changed
such as that, the MT would have to be notified. If you have a signed contract stating a line is XXX, then would they not be in violation for not disclosing the fact that the contract is now in violation?
I just changed my IT
Thanks for the tips. I just recompiled my Instant Text glossaries and then went into the Importer and created abcz glossaries. I hope this helps. I really need to be making 300 to 500 lph because my huby was just laid off and no one is hiring.
Thanks again!!!!
Pack years = packs smoked per day x years of smoking - sm
25 pack-years = 25 years of 1 pack a day, or 12-1/2 years of 2 packs a day.
I don't think pack-years applies to someone who smokes only cigars. But I don't know for sure.
Can they do surgery extra fast? What do they do with the extra glove in the pack?

Emdat works with Instant Text Por V - ony version that works with Emdat - nm

I think you are right. I think they may have changed back to what it should have been all along.
