It's really not a great idea to disable Windows updates. Just because updates are scheduled to be
installed, does not mean 7.0 will be automatically installed on your pc. You will always receive a notification when installing anything other than critical updates, which 7.0 is not.
What to do if Word does not recognize your added medical terms - after updates? nm

The Latest Word was a waste. Stedman's might have monthly updates on their site, not sure. nm

MS Word for Windows 95
Does anybody know of a medical spellchecker that works with MS Word for Windows 95???? Thanks
Help! I have Word Perfect 10 with Windows XP.
I've been away from transcription for just over a year (15 years experience though) and need to come back to work. The last company I worked for had their own software (Medware). Now I notice that most companies (especially for IC) want Word 2000. Is it necessary for me to buy Word (EXPENSIVE!!!) or is there any way I can adapt my WP for less money? Any suggestions or advice would be so, so appreciated!! Thanks in advance.
Tapes/Word/Windows 98
I have one computer with Word 97 on it. It was my own Word 97 that I installed on the computer. I have another with Windows XP and have Word 2003 that I installed on that computer. You can't usually buy Word 97 anymore, but maybe you can get that from someone or at a resale shop or flea market. That will run fine for you with Windows 98. A "gross line" is anything you see on the line, for instance, a signature line is 1 gross line. An initial line such as JJJ/aa is 1 line. A date is 1 line, 01/02/03. Most people don't want to pay that way anymore, they pay by 65 character line. Hope this is of help to you. Good luck.
Windows XP Professional & Word
Searching Word help section I see where it is possible to email directly from Word and also encrypt the document. If anyone does this, I could use some direction in doing it.
Thank you. bw
What is the version of word for windows that works best for you? Still working off 2000.

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

updates
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/render.aspx?displaylang=en&content=updateservices#
click "Microsoft Update"
click "Express"
you have to do this in Internet Explorer.
updates
the whole software was installed via net, and they say there has been no problem ever with that with other users, and it seems this is the latest software they are having.
They don't do yearly updates and never have. If you must
get hysterical about something at least get the real information about what you are carrying on about. Statements like this just make folks dismiss what you are saying because you don't know what you are talking about.
Anyone more updates on MQ bankruptcy?
 When I read that note on this board a week or two ago, it got me really worried. I'm working really hard right now training on a new MQ account, and the thought of losing my job in the near future makes me want to cry. Any feedback out there? Does anyone know what's going on?
Go to CNN.com for all of your news updates.
I also get my local newspaper online free. Why pay and kill trees when the highlights are all on the internet?
Automatic updates, or

You may have to update your calendaring programs and some cell phones as well.
Did security updates; seems all better now. -- nm
I have an HP and intermittently get updates for it...sm
Might try that before you uninstall and reinstall. Good luck!
Waiting for what? They don't do yearly updates.
What else is there to say? But if you want to keep on whining about something that is untrue be my guest.
Stedman's with the yearly updates. nm
s
I was only going to get the book, but no more online updates. sm
You need to get the CD in order to get updates. Ellen Drake said on www.mtchat.com that the CD is much better than last year's.
It will still work, but will not allow you to receive updates.

I use Avast...it updates almost every day and runs in the background....
all the time. If I get an email attachment within attachment from forwards, it checks all of them before I even open it. It's a free program, too.
Thanks! Do you have a spellcheck that includes drug updates?
The Stedman's and then you buy the yearly updates afterward. nm

Thanks for the updates, glad to hear things
are going well for you. Go to church together, even if you split. Life can get better. God bless!
Has anyone updated yet to the new version of XP to 7.0 on updates and how does it work.
:
I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates
I'm sorry to hear that. To each his/her own. I have used Spellex for years never had a problem with the updates. I would encourage anyone to try out software before you buy it.
Need to load some microsoft updates, need assistance here
I was told to go to microscoft and upload the latest - got the information to go to windows and click the express button and download and install. Where in the heck is the express button? Don’t see that anywhere. Thanks.
If you have not switched over to the new website for MQ updates call 800 dictate and get that done
and you will find that news on there.
Where I am, using Winscribe, the supervisor on duty routine gives updates (sm)
with who is working on a particular account, how many jobs there are, if any have been kicked back (she/he can tell as they are out of sequence, obviously taken into someones local queue and then returned to the pool. The name of those working at any given time is announced, this lets us know if someone comes on board during unscheduled hours without clocking in.
It is great for me as I follow the rules. We are not to take jobs into the local queue (cherrypicking) and we are not to work outside of scheduled hours unless it is granted and there is ample work for the person coming on board so they do not take away from the regularly scheduled MTs. I love my job!
I have it - it works great and updates daily, unlike
Norton and/or McAfee, BOTH of which allowed viruses to infect my computer. I won't spend any more of my hard-earned dollars on either. If you register with Avast, you can have their service free for 13 months. It runs in the background and checks literally everything, including net, email and any attachments that come with emails.
Mine sends daily volume updates

How many of you that use computers know how to do updates, repairs, clean up viruses, etc?
Just because I work every day using a computer, my husband has said tonight he thinks I should go to a computer class because I spent out $150 today for a person to come and get rid of several viruses on my computer. I asked my husband if he were so interested in this, why didnt he go to computer class and learn himself. I said I was coming on MTstars and just see how many of us transcriptionists also do our own repairs. Ok, MTers, now is your time to speak up!
Updates keep the money rolling in for useless info that becomes obsolete.
This is the stupidest con I have ever heard of on MT world.
At TransHealth, there are backlog updates every 15 minutes for the accounts we type. sm
We're always informed of where are accounts are standing (in ChartMatrix). It's a nice feature.
Does Stedman offer updates for Quicklook? I just bought the 2008

Fax in Windows XP
Hello,
There is a place in XP where you can send a fax, go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Fax, there is a section there that says "Send a Fax" and it walks you through.
Hope this helps!!
WP 5.1 or WP for Windows
if you are using windows xp..sm
up on the toolbar, there is an icon that shows the *zoom*. if you want to change the document to 100 percent, click on the icon, choose 100 percent, and save the document that way. if you want to use a template that is not at 100 percent..open the template, change the zoom to 100 percent, click to close and it will ask if you want to save changes. say yes. next time you open the template, it will be at 100 percent. hope this helps.
Do you have Windows XP?
What happens when you click on "My Documents"? Does it say that it is not accessible?
You might try creating a new folder to save your documents in. Try creating it directly on the C drive, so you bypass Documents and Settings.
Otherwise...I don't know what to suggest. Good luck! Let us know if you find out what went wrong.
If you have Windows XP, there is....(sm)
Remote Desktop already in your system, you just have to access it. See link below. I've never used this myself, but I would imagine your new MTSO would have to give you more info, for you to log onto your server, ISP, or other. I'm not a real technie person, so can't really help further. Hopefully someone else will have more hands on experience for you.
(Personally, don't understand why the MTSO would not give you all the information you need to be able to work for them, and provide technical support, but that's just me, I guess....)
Good luck!

No, I use Windows XP.
It's really weird. It was the same expresss scribe I had last year. It worked fine. Now it doesn't work. I did uninstall it then download the newer version. So, I have been online looking for an older version. No luck yet, however.
But thanks for trying to help. I really appreciate everyone for trying to help me out with this.:)
do you do windows?
the ones on houses? and not the computer!
Windows XP sm
Dell stopped selling computers with XP on 6/30 this year. I called them and asked them if I could get a computer with XP, and they told me no.
I think it's a shame they're trying to make people purchase something they don't want. I'll probably go with Tiger Direct.
Is this for DOS or Windows?
Sounds like DOS version if it's on a disk. Not sure if one for Windows came on disk. If it's for Windows do you have the right version of Word to use it with? If it's for DOS do you have wp51 installed? Are you using it from the RUN function? Other than that maybe your disk might be corrupted.
Thank you but I have Windows XP
Do you know of a "fix" for this ?
Can you use the DOS system with Windows XP?nm

Anyone here about the Windows XP virus out right now?? nm

Anyone using or have used MedriteXL for Windows not DOS?
Is it MT-friendly and productive. Does it count headers, footers, etc., or would that be company-controlled. Can you use ShortHand abbreviation Expander with it?
Windows upgrade
If in doubt about upgrade, please try www.worldstart.com and post a message on the message board asking your tech question and one of the techs will get back to you. They have helped me many times and are great. They sent me in the right direction for my memory upgrade and problems on my computer. They will know if it can or cannot be done. I always ask them there before I add anything on my computer. Just upgraded my memory to 512. They know about software/hardware, etc. Good luck. Try this web site, these techies know what they are doing.
