MPWord and assembling the documents into one
Posted By: Vann Joe on 2007-04-21
In Reply to: Question about programs like WebChartMD - and templates...sm
Hi,
MPWord does require you do a separate file for each dictation, but it takes the drudgery out of this, for it automatically saves/names the files for you.
It also has a feature that allows you to put all those notes into one file at the end of the day. If you don't need to preserve headers/footers use the Sticky Notes (Append). If you do need to preserve headers/footers, use PDF (Assemble). With either function, you can send your client one file with the day's work.

When I stressed the important of having medical documents (legal documents)
on the patient's chart (there are outpatient exams done. Hospital is in the outpatient business), the woman said that if there is a serious finding on an exam, the radiologist will call the referring physician and tell him by phone!
This, my friends, is the result of hiring people who have no real background in the medical field (the lead MT never worked anywhere prior to this job, got on-the-job training and has, through a dominant personality, created a tight circle of workers which are marked up of friends from her life and church services over a 15 year period.
OMG!!!
MPWord ??????? see msg
MPWord - helpful or not. I am currently set up in Word with Instant Text. Would MPWord help me any? Can you use or import your glossaries from Instant Text into MPWord? What about making your own templates and default settings such as font, tabs and format?
Does anyone know exactly how the fax options works?
Thanks, Mis
MPWord
Love it!!
As a moderate sized transcription service, we have found MPWord to be an absolute lifesaver for our clients and our transcriptionists with maintaining consistency in production. Support was phenomonal when setting up our first client, creating our crazy customized templates, and Vann Joe is always there for support.
The system has been very easy to use from an MTSO perspective, and very each to teach to our remote MTs. It also integrates becautifully with our Audiworxs voice management system as well.
This has definitely been one of the best investments we've made in my 35 years in business.
MPWord?????
You can convert your InstantText entries, and making a template is as easy as typing a document. I prefer to type my header and footer info on the document and then cut and paste into the header/footer sections on Page Setup. Set tabs, font, margins, etc on Page Setup(using Ctrl+Shift+H for shortcut to Page Setup seems to be quicker for me) and then paste the header/footer info into their respective places on Page Setup. If you've cut and pasted the sum of header AND footer info into the Header or 1st page Header section, you can cut and paste the 2nd page header and/or footer info from there to the other Header/Footer sections. When you have whatever info you need where you need it, click OK and it takes you back to the document. Then, type your document with codewords (a list is included in the Help File) and save it as a template into your formats file. Then when you type the info on the demographic screen, any info you typed will be inserted into the document in the correct place, spelled correctly including correct ages and pronouns, and you just transcribe the variable info; conversely, you can put everything you can possibly think that this dictator uses on a given type of report on a specific template and just listen and transcribe and/or edit your document as you listen to the dictation. Soooo much faster this way!
MPWord?
I've been using it since it was MedPen2. I love it. Never had a question or problem that Vann Joe could not talk me thru in a couple of minutes. Of course there is a learning curve like anything else; but it actually took me LESS time to learn than the nuances of re-learning MSWord or WordPerfect, or having to go back to WP51 required by some MTSOs out there, and it does SO MUCH MORE!. I will never use anything else again!
MPWord
I use this product extensively from home and have been doing so for over 2 years now, and I find it fabulous. It is very user friendly, and should you have any questions at all, the developer of the program and his staff are extraordinarily prompt and attentive to helping you in any way they can. I strongly recommend it.
MPWord - anyone use or know anything about
Will be working independently for physicians' office. Need advice on email/fax encription programs that would meet HIPAA guidelines. Outlook features encryption, would it comply?
MPWord
Absolutely. I can't say enough good things about Van Joe and his program!! You can't even begin to imagine the time it saves just by not having to name the file. I personally would NOT work without it!
If MPWord is a little more than you need
I have never used MPWord, but wish I would have purchased that now instead of Smartype although I do love it. I currently use MPLite and cannot imagine ever being without it. The OP is right when they said how much time it saves just not having to name files! Not to mention the patient database. Vann Joe is the best and you will not find better customer service!
MPWord/MTSO
I have been using MTSO and MPWord for quite some time now. I love the program and Vann Joe. Any questions I have he has answered and walked me through templates and other issues. The program is one of the greatest programs that we have invested in over the years.
You may not need all that MPWord offers.
I've looked at MP Word several times myself and it just more than I need, although in a different setting/situation, I may need all the options. If you have a choice and you have MS Word available to you, you will be fine. You should have an encryption method available to you; WinZip offers encryption with it's Pro version, about $50.
Just something else for you to consider.
How long ago was this? I know MPWord to work quite well for me.

MPWord current users - good and bad?
One of my accounts want each pt in an individual file and this looks like a great answer. I've searched the archives and found nothing negative about this program, only positives. I downloaded the free trial and it looks pretty simple.
Is anyone currently using the program? Do you like it? Are there any negatives? Any helpful info to start with?
Thanks!
MPWord has been around for years. It is HIPAA compliant and a
contact Vann Joe and ask him questions. He is a very open and honest person.
Anyone with comments on MPWord? Like, dislike, easy to learn and use? nm

PC to MAC documents?
How would I send a PC file that can be read on a MAC and vice versa? Please help ASAP.
The MDs are the one signing the documents and
attesting to their accurateness. Not the MTs.
New documents on QNet for MQ MTs
Go to QNet; look under Policy & Governance; click on Human Resources in the window to the right there are two new documents --- MTME Benefit Policy.
It's all apparently still in the workings but they are starting to post documents as they are readied.
Just thought I would share.
You must compare your documents..
with MS-Word Word Count, which is the standard. MS-Word count tool is used by FlashCount.
In case of any problem, feel free to ask.

Compare old documents
Look at some of your old documents and see what your gross line is and then see what they would have been paid if you had been using a 65 cpl. In word you can do that. Now some software will count double character for capitalization, bold, underline, tabs are counted, indent and count spaces. So that will also make a difference. When one of my accounts was using Sylcount we always counted that way. I do not think that there is a simple chart to use and since your documents could be very personalized with formatting, i.e. indenting lines which makes a gross line smaller, to me it would be best to compare your specific documents rather than a generic table. There are a lot of variables (how long is your gross line) and I don't think a comparison table could take that all into account. But I would think I think an estimation has always been 30% less lines for cpl versus gross.
Legal documents
I worked for an attorney for a while and also have a 2500 page transcript from my BIL's federal drug case and everything was done on legal sized paper - lots of quotes, etc. I wouldn't do editing of that sort of work for $1 a page - or even $3 - $6-$10 - yes. There's probably more money in that than there is in transcription - we MTs just haven't found it yet.
Help please - all my documents disappeared. sm
Has anyone ever had anything like this happen? Everything that I had stored in my documents folder disappeared. Any settings that I had specific to my computer are gone like including my favorites on IE, my normal.dot with all my macros, autocorrect entries, etc. for word, all music files, all pictures, and any and all word and excel based documents I had saved. Interestingly my daughters user ID is fine and none of her documents disappeared. I have ran virus scanners to know avail so I don't know if it was some sort of virus or hardware failure. Any ideas? It is a pain to start all over. Also, what does everyone use for backup? This is about the third time this year I have had computer issues and lost everything and I am so TIRED of starting over and kicking my production time in half until I get myself built back up. I am ready for some type of really awesome backup to assure this does not happen to me again.
Bringing up old documents....
Hi-I have only worked on Extext for a few days and it seems pretty good. I agree with the problem with inserting doctors names though. I am especially interested in finding out how to pull up old documents as I wasn't told about this feature. Can you let me know? Thanks....
Maybe she means that the VR documents
are 'prescreened' for 'quality scare' before getting downloaded to the MT? If there are too many errors, it gets deleted and downloaded blank on the MT's screens?
But this does not make muchsense, does it?
Or maybe if QA finds too many mistakes, it gets deleted and sent back to the MT for straight transcription?
Don't know.
Has anyone had trouble converting documents
Word 2000. These seem to be putting a .doc extension after all of my documents now. Anyone have a fix? I have an account that I can't use the .doc extension, and when I back that extension off, I get a message saying "this document may not be usable". Is this a Vista issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 in advance for any help in this OMG matter! I'm about ready to  , and I have just gotten it to grow to a length that I like.
Searching in WP 5.1 documents through Windows XP
 I have changed word processing programs from DOS-based to Windows-based programs, but still need to access the old WP 5.1 documents. I am having trouble searching the documents through Windows, i.e., searching for a person's name, etc. inside the document. Do you have any suggestions? 
What file extension do this WP5.1 documents have?
If they're not saved as .doc, Word won't be able to search them; however, you can open them individually with Word.
My Documents is a folder, not a program.

Are documents set to print getting hung up
.
Are we talking Word documents or...
are you typing directly into Meditech or Cerner or a system like that?
You have dragon scan your documents and -
it picks up words it does not know and has you train them, and it also recognizes words that you use more than others.
If I recall, you should be able to pull up all the supporting documents sm
to review, not just the summary page. I always back it up by doing the old pencil, paper, calculator method just to be sure.
It's your responsibility to give them their documents on disk/CD!

Thanks to you all!!! Mine was under Documents&Settings, then Home. :)

Pull up some documents and count them out each way to compare. nm

When bringing up old documents in Extext, Ctrl S,
I think I missed a step. I hit ctrl S, put in patient's name (in this case) and then click find, or quick find. Then, it brings up a list of the patient's admission. Then, what do I hit to bring up the document? The options on the right side are statistics and close? I tried to highlight and double click the admission but nothing. Need some help here....Thanks
Instant Text will expand whole documents
Instant Text will expand whole documents. IT will all so take a bunch of reports and create shortcuts from those reports for you so you do not have to individually create your own. Of course, you can create your own if you like also. The only thing that ITdoes not have that it should is a suggestion box that follows your cursur.
Were documents signed initially that focused on such an event?

Your 2003 documents look the exact same way when you open them in 2007. sm
You don't lose any documents. Compatibility mode just means your document does not change to the new 2007 file structure and you can't use any new 2007 features in that document. "Compatibility mode" shows on the title bar so you know which format you are working in. If you want the new file structure, you just do a save as. If you want to convert the document back to 2003 so others without 2007 can open your documents, you can do that too.
The new Ribbon instead of toolbars is very different and takes some time to learn how it works, but everything you have ever known about Word is still there. I haven't had a hard time with 2007 because the majority of old keyboard shortcuts still work.
It's always in your best interest to back up your documents whether you are switching to a new version or not.
Nope, it's gone. Back up your important documents and templates and this won't happen again.

System Restore does not affect documents, only program files.

I have ? or * put in my format documents and create a macro to find ? or * and jump from each. nm

System restore does not affect documents, only program files.
You will not lose any documents you've created. Restore does nothing to the normal.dot or other templates.
...thought we were a TEAM to create perfect documents! Why be so adversarial?

Assuming your existing documents are based on the Normal template...
You can open the Normal template, make the changes you mention, and then save it. When you open your existing documents, they will be corrected. Hope this is the info you're looking for.
I too use an external hard drive, backs up My Documents folder. sm
It only takes once to lose everything to know how important backups are.....I should know, happened to me!!
I've proofread legal documents; not difficult, but extremely dull.
In addition to MT QA, I worked for a large law firm proofreading about 15 hours per week. The pay was good. The work was incredibly dull. The terminology was new and different at first, of course, but there are resources on the web for legal terminology just as there are for medical terminology.
