i use the tabs
i set up my machine to always keep 3-4 tabs open (tools, internet options, tabs). rather than alt-tab, i mouse to the other tab and look up whatever. i can leave that one on a page i keep returning to, and have yet another one open for other searchess. works good for me. don't need that much ram to do it either.
Ibuprofen, 3 tabs every 4 to 6 sm
hours with food, faithfully for a few days. You may need a short oral steroid pack to calm things down. Cranky Beach is right about keeping your wrists absolutely straight. Try raising your chair or sitting on a big book. Use a chair without arm rests. The problem most likely is in your elbow or shoulder and not just your wrist. I spent a lot of time with neurologists, orthopedists, and physical therapy. I finally went to a chiropractor who did a few manipulations and taught me some stretching exercises which helped a lot. I go once a month and lay on a nice heated roller bed. I have bad insurance and the chiro. just charges me a flat rate. My sympathies go out to you.
And some places DO keep tabs on who keeps rejecting jobs. Best to just do what comes along.

Personally I don't charge for tabs and hard returns - sm
but then again it would not make a big difference for me. I just went over my last invoice and re-did it including spaces, tabs and hard returns, my invoice went up a whole $1.70. I will live w/o the extra $3.40 a month. On another point, I try not to put 2 spaces after my last period of each report (mine are just single block paragraphs on each patient) so I don't "pad" the invoice that way either. Now if I did a lot of reports with tabs and returns then I probably would bill for them, as it is a keystroke. As for how to phrase it, I thought you have already put it quite well, but I think asking for a cent raise might be too much, .005 would probably more than compensate you for your "loss" if you don't count the tabs/returns anymore. Run an invoice and see what the $$$ would be with .005 and .01 raises. Good luck.
Set up your tabs first - then use the hanging indent command Ctrl+T

I have an opening...sm
email me with your pasted resume and we'll talk.
I saw a job opening for mt at
a women's state prison in California. They didn't require that much experience, pay and benefits were excellent. It was too far from where I lived and I didn't know if I would like the environment. ![Prisoner](http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_1_112.gif")

Wow! This is eye-opening
You two have really given me some thought-provoking info.
I had no idea it was this bad. That is a hellish training period for such a pathetic salary. Exactly the opposite of what I've been reading. The websites I read from truly did quote up to $40. per hour, computer equipment given to you and a growing field, not shrinking!
Yes, I do work for slave wages, but I have a mortgage to pay and student loans and I am a single woman so I have to find something. Maybe a paper route . . .
Thanks for the info!
They might be having an opening soon.

I am opening up a transcription (sm)
business myself. I am fed up with the hospitals who are going voice recognition and are using a digital system for attendings, so I decided why not!! Another MT and I are do this and hopefully we will be successful. I am going in with someone on the computer end as well.
did you try opening the file?
If so, what did the instruction say? Do you have to open it with a special program? Is this a wav file? If not, what type of file is this (it will say at the end of the document/file name)?
That's an eye-opening article -
and scary, too. My MTSO was just taken over by Acusis......... 
Still not opening at all for me. I emailed
s
This is eye opening information and I will be
looking into more IRS laws. This is VERY interesting as the company I work for does not pay my taxes but dictates hours, etc. They also have violated HIPAA regulations and I will be inquiring as to what actions can be taken there.
Thanks for enlightening me.
Opening up Pandora's box of wine
Hey Patti, it's ok to talk about drinking and transcribing. People react strongly because it hits a raw nerve. It's a topic that is kept in the dark. I suspect many transcriptionists do and have drank at the desk. I myself have had a small glass of wine on occasion when I have been so stressed out, like when I have been given a 30-day notice that my work is going to India! Or my foreign-accented dictator yells at me for something stupid! I venture to say that perhaps more transcriptionists have a glass or two of liquor toward the end of their shift than they would care to admit. I just think you got such a response because it is a topic most transcriptionists have thought about in one way or another. I'm not saying it is ok or it is morally wrong. It does happen though.
Opening of her broadway show
It was the opening of her broadway show, The Color Purple that Letterman escorted her to. However, I dont like Oprah, never have. The fawning and oohing and ahhing was quite sickening, if you ask me.
Opening any of this person's mail
If you do any of the things you mentioned, you will have broken the law. It is against federal statutes to open someone else's mail, even if it was placed in YOUR mailbox.
Try opening the normal.dot and see if you can change it there. sm
Hide spelling/grammar errors in this document only affects the current document. Another place to look is the Language setting on the Tools menu. You may have it set to not check spelling.
Austin Radiological -- how did you hear about the job opening? nm

Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm

I think it is some of the emoticons, but maybe only the first instance of them opening or posting.

I worked in a hospital in radiology, and when an opening in MR was available SM
I applied, got the job, and that is how I got my foot in the door.
Your opening statement about our President is disrespectful.
Whether or not you like him, he is still the President and that office should be respected. Unfortunately, your statement is reflective of the mindset and mentality of many in our country. And people have to ask why the rest of the world doesn't like us--we don't even like each other.
At the very least you should be respectful of those in positions of authority. It's modeling of appropriate behavior that our children see and emulate themselves.
Playing CD-R
Do you have a photography program, such as Adobe Photoshop, etc.? In order for me to view my photo CDs, I have to open them through my Photoshop program.
Try this:
1. Put your CD in the computer.
2. Open your photo program. There should be a choice, such as "Get Picture", etc. Click on that.
3. You should then have some sort of choice of where to get the picture FROM, such as "Folder", "Drive", "CD", etc. etc. If one of the choices is from your CD, or the drive your CD is in (mine is "E", yours may be different), click on that.
4. If that works, you should then have a list of folders, or a list of picture titles, or whatever. If you click on a folder or picture name, it SHOULD open it in your photo software.
If I just want to view stuff QUICKLY, I invested in a wonderful software program called "Quick View Plus" from Inso Corporation. I love it because it really IS fast, and it'll open just about anything. You may be able to find it at:

You should try playing around with those
settings. In order to move my screen to the right or to the left, I have to push 1 button in to tell it whether I want it go vertical or horizontal and then push the other button to adjust that way.
Since your screen didn't reset when you rebooted, I would have to think the problem is with the monitor itself, i.e. adjust your settings or you have a blackout, which I think means you would have to replace it.
Have you visited the monitor company's website for troubleshooting tips and how to work those settings. There may be free tech support available there.
sorry, not in Kansas. PA is where I heard of a good job opening (near pittsburgh)
please, need help with startstop opening windows sound recorder.
When I open a file from within startstop, it wants to open windows sound recorder, and then it wants to open a file located somewhere else on my hard drive.
Sometimes it will open the file I want to listen to, and the windows sound recorder flashes on the screen a couple of times.
Is anyone having that problem? I've emailed and called startstop but no response to email and no return call from startstop tech support.
Any info you have is greatly appreciated. I'm on version 9.8.7
Your mother was right - but not playing the
sisters games and not allowing her to use you for holidays does not mean you don't love her.
Not playing fair-other ad too
Seems to me moderators don't play fair here. Another "job" ad has been posted since 6/17 with NOBODY objecting to it.
Look for ad by NSDExpress on job seekers
Over 1200+ lookers but NOT banned. Guess one has to funnel $ to the moderater to get posted on this board.
From their help section
Keyword: any_keyword
Text to Type: This is {@KEY Ctrl+B}bold{@KEY Ctrl+B}.
You can use the same concept to add any formatting codes to your ShortHand text.
PLUS I DID try the help section (sm)
in Word AND I have a copy of Word For Dummies (which I am sure you would think is quite appropriate) BUT I did not think to look up SELECT TEXT. I looked up DELETING text which is what I thought I wanted to do not thinking that I had to SELECT if FIRST.
I said at the outset that I was Word challenged and if that annoys you then just ignore my post.
Have you had a C-section?
I don't know about you, but I took the full eight weeks off that is alloted for a c-section. I was in incredible pain. I can't imagine only taking two weeks off. Then again, I also worked another job that actually gave me disability checks so I guess I'm in a different boat altogether. I also had a tubal ligation at the same time. I was in the hospital for almost a week and I coudn't walk for at least a month without severe pain. I guess I'm just a wimp. LOL.
C-section
Hee-hee! I have a funny one, too. My dictator says routinely "I sent the patient to see the breast-feeding nurses." All I can visualize is nurses sitting in a room, breast-feeding! 
And that was after the guy playing a video game
..
Thanks for the info. I have no idea why he is playing
these games when he just sent an e-mail stating everything is now under control. It is just so sad that they take something that has the potential to be good and turn it and distort it and make it ugly. If in your search you run into Davis Transcription, please beware. They operate in a similar manner and in the end...you will pay for it. Good luck!
Seriously, I think it's Bill Cosby playing...
mind games with us because I do the same thing with Jello! I never make it, but I can say I have at least 3 or more boxes of the pudding and the Jello at all times. My children often see it and beg me to make it. What's the deal? Really, I think it's a leftover 'Bill Cosby' thing for me. I don't know what makes me buy it, I don't even like it. It's an illness. I'm sure of it.
is he playing this on your work computer? (sm)
make a password for the computer. I don't agree with be glad it's just video games -- addictions are addictions and can affect the family life just as bad as alcohol, porn or any other bad addiction.
If he's ignoring his family due to the games and it's creating a problem, then it IS a problem. I'm so fortunate in that my DH doesn't even know how to turn on a computer. He's never had an interest.
Password protect the computer. Tell him it's off limits. He will get used to not playing anymore.
for playing test file.........sm
when you click on the attachment, you should see open, save, or run. You could save it to your desktop and then open it with Express Scribe, if you have it. Right click on test file, you should see 'open with' with some options. If you have Express Scribe, this should be one of them. Media player or other media players will play it, but not with a pedal, so Express Scribe is your best bet. Good luck!
Were you playing dimes, dollars, or what ?
Am going in the next couple of months, and how much had you spent in machines?

I use Start/Stop.
There is a medicolegal section on
the job board . . . rarely any new jobs there, but if you go to the Job Seeker's Board and then Job Bank, it is one of the choices there.
Two weeks, c-section.
No one else to cover for me. I took it slow and accounts were patient with me--it helps that one was an ob/gyn. :)
found this in the help section--sm
You might have done one of the following:
Inserted a manual page break (page break: The point at which one page ends and another begins. Microsoft Word inserts an "automatic" (or soft) page break for you, or you can force a page break at a specific location by inserting a "manual" (or hard) page break.). Switch to normal view (normal view: A view that shows text formatting and a simplified page layout. Normal view is convenient for most editing and formatting tasks.), select the manual page break, and then press DELETE.
Set a pagination option. The following pagination options (Keep lines together, Keep with next, or Page break before) control where automatic page breaks occur.
To remove the pagination formats from text, select the paragraph following the unwanted page break, click Paragraph on the Format menu, and then click the Line and Page Breaks tab. If necessary, clear the Keep lines together, Keep with next, and Page break before check boxes.
Inserted a section break (section break: A mark you insert to show the end of a section. A section break stores the section formatting elements, such as the margins, page orientation, headers and footers, and sequence of page numbers.). The Next page, Even page, or Odd page section break automatically breaks the page.
To prevent a section break from breaking the page, click in the section (section: A portion of a document in which you set certain page formatting options. You create a new section when you want to change such properties as line numbering, number of columns, or headers and footers.) immediately following the section break, and then click Page Setup on the File menu. Click the Layout tab, and then click Continuous in the Section start box.
Inserted a column break. A column break inserted in the last column of a page will act as a page break. Select the column break, and then press DELETE.
There is an entire section on this

Heading to CA. My son is playing in a baseball tournament...sm
Hope everyone has a wonderful turkey day.
Cirie has done a wonderful job playing the game.
I'm thinking if anyone else keeps her that she could win. They all talked about getting her out way back at the beginning, but she's gotten this far. GO CIRIE!!!
Terry has done a great job getting the immunity to keep himself in the game, and we all know he has the idol for extra immunity, but I do believe he's getting cocky and that rubs me the wrong way. He'll definitely be around awhile, but can he make it to the end?
If the other two, Aris and Danielle(?) got to the end, everyone would have a hard time choosing who should get the money, so they certainly should stick to working together, don't ya think?
I always have satellite radio playing in the background. sm
There's a good variety of relaxing music. I have it on even when I'm not transcribing.
I think it also relaxes my dogs cause they sure sleep well when it's on:)
Express Scribe not playing end of dictation?
Every once in a while I get a file that Express Scribe can't play the last 2-4 minutes of. It appears to be playing, but the sound cuts out. When I send the reports to QA, they say they can hear the whole file fine. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there something wrong on my end? I checked the NCH website and others have posted this same problem but have received no responses so I am trying here instead. I also tried to play the file in Windows Media and it stops at the same point, but says it can't play the file. I am just confused why QA can get it to play, but I cannot.
Is there a new format on Forum Section
or am I the only one experiencing this....
about two or three days ago, I've noticed that when I go to the main board, other forum or topic options were not listed on the blue portion of the page, and it feels weird to go back to the home page every time I want to change topic/section.
