Make sure it's ok on the receiving end to enlarge. Sometimes it screws up the printing

If there a way to enlarge the text in
Stedman's Spellchecker.  My eyes aren't what they used to be and I find that with the small print it is difficult to distinguish between spellings if it brings up suggestions. 
Word enlarge
Go to the toolbar at the top and click on view, then zoom at the bottom and then you can enlarge 150% to 200% or whatever you want.
There are usually screws in the bottom
that you can open up, but I will warn you it can be a bear trying to put the thing back together because of positioning the screws deep in those holes. A magnetic screwdriver will save you a lot of aggravation. When I've opened it up, I've seen springs broken, springs out of place, the plastic holding the springs broken off. There will be a little nubbin of plastic in the lid side of the pedal that is the contact for the little silver internal PLAY button. If that is broken, fixing it may be impossible.
You could just enlarge all type in your monitor resolution. nm

Turn it over and see if the screws are screwed in.
and then and then I have trouble with it - but I can't say that it's stopped working COMPLETELY before from that.
Except that when QA screws up originally correct
That's the whole point of this thread.
I enlarge the print (helps!) & proof the whole thing.

Printing

If they were to provide you with the ink cartridge then you would have to put it in and out everytime you printed something personal or for someone else.   You will probably go through 1 to 1 1/2 cartridge per year for their printing needs and this is an expense of doing business included in your cpl.   I do all my printing and do probably close to 35,000 to 40,000 lines per month and go through about 2 to 2.5 toners for my HP which is about $200 to $250 per year -- not even $20 per month.  At 10 cents per 60 charcters that is a decent  price and if it is decent lines, pretty good dictators I sure would't rock the boat over that.  Again, if you do they could go elsewhere or else give you a toner and say do not use it for anything else and ask for documentation when you use it.  If you become petty over this, they will become petty.  I just would not start out this way, but then I have been told that I am too easy on accounts but then they have been with me for many, many years, and pay on time and treat me well.   So do what you feel is best but to me it is just being somewhat picky. 


 


 


Not so...I don't DO printing....at all.

Printing
If they are doing the printing, I guess that may explain why she uses letterhead for every page. They can send all the files to the printer and don't have to worry about having the letterhead paper for page 1 and plain paper for page 2, 3, etc. If that is the case, you might approach them about incorporating the letterhead info in a header on page 1. They could then fill the printer with plain paper, send all the files to the printer, and still have letterhead info print out on page 1.
Better ask on the receiving end. Sometimes yes, sometimes no. nm

If you are receiving 8 cpl, how much do you think

Charge for printing
I do transcription for a group of physicians out of my home as an IC.  One of the physicians (an Indian doctor) outsources his work (fortunately, in the US), which is fine with me as I have difficulty understanding him.  The office asked today if I could print his notes/envelopes after they're sent back to him and he edits them.  Does anyone have suggestions on what I should charge for this printing?  Thanks for any ideas.
Perfect!...I'm printing this and
memorizing it! Thank you, thank you! This makes so much sense (and with the symphathetic face/tone). It's hard to think straight and think of this when I'm the one in the situation. I'll let you all know how she takes it. Thanks again.
I would do the printing and eat the ink cost - sm
write it off of course. If you can, use a separate ink cartridge just for their stuff and keep track of how fast you go through the ink. If it is excessive, then brink it up possibly and maybe you could bill them a printing charge every time you have to buy a new ink cartridge. But I'd probably just eat it regardless, it is not going to hurt your bottom line much and it helps them out (they save time obviously); the little extras help and you could get more work out of it, who knows.
Printing problems
I recently went digital. My clients are getting set up to print the completed reports. I'm having trouble with one client and their printer that is printing out a little differently than what my printer prints. I use Word 2003, so do they, but our printers are different brands. I've downloaded their printer driver and set them up in my Word. Just wondering if their printer is going to print the files out correctly now that I'm saving their documents with their print driver? Anyone have experience with this and have a solution? I'd appreciate your input!
Printer not printing

My hp LaserJet 1300 will not print what I send to it, however, it does print a page with a single line at the top - ?%-57755}euom%oog/ and so on.


I turned off the printer for 1/2 hour and tried again and it is still doing this.


Any ideas?


Thank you. Barb


printer not printing

Thank you for all the help. I tried everything and then called the place where I bought the printer. Three days of no printing, the morning the tech was due here the thing printed! He came out and determined that we probably had a "brown out" and that something was hung up in memory and it eventually cleared itself. Had a few other questions for him and so I guess the $90.00 for his 45 minutes of time was somewhat worth it!


Printing from this site - sm

When I print something from this site, i.e. a reply, the copy comes out very, very light. Is there a reason for this?


I think other way, for receiving not sending

Looks like that's only for sending, not receiving?

Are you currently receiving any type of
assistance or benefits through OVR (Office of Vocational Rehab)?  That could be a motivating factor for this counselor to get you to take a job that is obviously beneath your qualifications.  I would hold out.  She can't force you to take it. 
Not receiving any assistance. sm
I wanted financial help with going back to school for coding. The only training they offered was at a JVS school or a IDT type school as a medical assistant. Then the funds for training were cut. They offered (and pushed) this job assistance program which I thought was going to be more in depth than it is. I thought I would be sent on interviews they had arranged. Basically I meet with the counselor once a week and she gives me leads she found on the internet and I send in my resume. She supposedly knows the area and was going to provide local job leads. I lost one MT job in June due to VR and on my own found the job I have now in about a week. Yes I probably need another job in billing/coding so I can make more money, but now is not the time to be giving up a job you already have. IMHO
Words printing too small
Trying to type a letter in Microsoft Office Word this morning. Noticed when I first started the print seemed extremely large. Nothing that I know of doing that would have caused this. Used the minimizer and brought the words on screen down some. The writing on the screen in big but when I print it off need a magnifer to read. Tried everything but do not know why it is printing so small. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? Thanks.
Printing AutoCorrect List
Does anyone know how to print the autocorrect list on Microsoft Word 2007?  I've searched it on Google, but I keep getting odd articles that don't make any sense to me at all.  If anyone can explain it to me in layman's terms, I would be forever grateful!  Thanks!
check que - printing might be paused
double click on your printer icon and see where it has your documents to be printed... it should either say printing or printing paused or no documents in que.
Unbelievable! And to think at MQ we are bellyaching at receiving...sm
only 80% of our regular line rate for editing. It sounds like clinic notes, dr's office notes, maybe just a few docs, nothing complicated, lots of canned text etc. Still 2 cents a line, I don't think you could speed up the sound enough to make any money at that rate unless there were no mistakes whatsoever.
I would be afraid of receiving a lethal
aa
sending/receiving dictation
I am looking at taking on another account.  My account I currently have I did not have to set up the send/receive aspect because it was already done for me.  My first client uses a software called Send-It.  They upload the handheld recorder tapes onto the computer on thier end and it transfers to my FTP site.  Now they do not make this software because it is not compatible with XP.  Is there any software out there like this that is compatible with XP so I can let my new client know where to get it?  He wants to do a call in situation, but I know nothing about this and would like to keep both clients the same.  Thanks for any information!!
Is that right? The MTSO is receiving the same rate
and paying the MT less for editing. That is a horrible thought. I was under the impression that the MTSO was also charging less for editing. Sure, we may in some instances be able to edit twice the amount of lines, but in reality we are still doing double the work for less the money. Makes no sense that we would have to do more work for less money. If this keeps up and we keep getting our rate cut, soon we will end up like one of those down and out person on the street that you see with a sign that says, "Will work for food."
First, you need to remove 4 screws to replace/remove your hard drive. (sm)
Once the screws are all removed, the hard drive (4 x 4 x 2) is sitting in the bottom of the cage. This won't always be the situation, (some really cheap cages are open at the bottom, so the instant the last screw is removed the drive drops if you aren't holding on). Oddly enough, this is the most critical stage of replacing a hard drive, in the sense that removing the drive through the case where the ribbon cables are bunched up and over the CPU and heatsink is most likely to create another problem. If the cables are long enough, you can leave them attached to the hardrive as you slide it out, but don't try pulling through a mess, clear a path first. If you are discarding the entire unit, dont worry about  being gentle handed.

Why is it that court reports are so well respected and their pay never an issue?

I feel like I am stealing when I ask to be compensated for my knowledge, experience and reliability. It is basically the same work, one is in legal field and one in medical field. What is up with that????


I have been printing my docs reports for six years - sm
I charge $4.50 per page for the original letters. I do not charge for copies because I am averaging about $120 for 30-60 minutes of work for each tape. If I started charging the copies with that, I would be making about $250-300 for 30-60 minutes of work, and my docs just will not pay that kind of money for transcription work that takes 1 hour of my time to do.

Now - trying to find someone to cover for me while I'm on vacation is a nightmare because NO ONE WANTS TO PRINT THE LETTERS. Go figure. How hard is it to print letters. The docs provide all the paper and envelopes and blank paper. I pay about $32/month for ink. But if I'm being paid $600-800/month for my transcription, $32 is practically nothing - a business expense.
Help with Copying and Printing Shorthand Dictionary

Charging for printing/mailing reports
I just spoke to a doc interested in my services and one of the questions he asked was how much I would charge for printing and mailing the reports to him. The cost of paper and shipping is pretty easy to calculate, but the cost of ink as well as my time is a little more difficult. Is there some easy way to calculate this for an estimate or would some of you mind sharing your rates? I appreciate any help or advice on the matter. Thanks!
the grand total is 3 so far from the emails I am receiving....thanks everyone - nm
x
Since you aren't receiving any response via the e-mail,
I think you should telephone her.  This is possibly the only real way you could find out what is going on.  Certainly after 3 times of nonpayment, I'd do no more work until all behind monies are paid and then in the future only allow 1 payment to be late before not doing work for her. Good luck to you
trouble receiving Daily Digest??
Can anyone tell me why I am having trouble re-signing up for the Daily Digest.  Have not been receiving now for about a month and cannot seem to re-sign up - keep getting error message??  Thanks - I miss it.
No kidding! I just let that update the other day when I was printing and saving my taxes.
I bet that's what happened.  I will try restoring my computer to a couple days ago and see what happens.  But then I will need to know HOW to save my normal.dot somewhere other than where it is now so this doesn't happen again, because it is SO frustrating and on top of a lousy, lousy day to boot.  Thanks y'all!

Express Scribe and receiving the voice files...

I have been using Express Scribe to transcribe notes from voice files that are sent to my AOL mailbox.  I was told that AOL mailboxes will only allow smaller sized voice files and that they will not accept larger files.  Does anyone have information regarding this matter?  Is there a better server I should change to so I can receive the larger voice files?


 


I was also wondering if I should instead use one of those MT platforms where the doc’s email to that specific platform and the MT picks them up there.  For the life of me, I cannot recall the name of that site.  If anyone knows of the site, can you please let me know. 


 


All advice appreciated, thank you.    


 


Need Help receiving encrypted files through Express Scribe!

Is there anyone out there who could tell me how I could listen to encrypted files in my Express Scribe which I receive through email???  I am able to receive and listen to them just fine when not encrypted, but cannot figure out how to set ES up to use a password.  When I click on the voice file in my inbox, it now takes me to ES, but displays an ERROR box stating  - unable to open DSS file, this means the file might not be a true DSS file or the file is corrupt.


Yesterday, I posted this on the wrong board, but did receive some response anyway and thanks!  Still now working though. Someone told me that I needed to get the User Id # from the clinic's software program they are using.  The person I subcontract for thought that the User Id from her Olympus DSS software would work, but I am not so sure since the files originally come from the clinic. 


I would rather not have to purchase the Olympus program if not necessary.  I would think there would be some way to receive these encrypted files with their password.  I have also tried to leave the User ID area blank or enter 0, but this does not work either. Keep getting the ERROR message as above.   



The files are coming from a dss program called Olympus if that matters.  Any insight would be greaaaatly appreciated!!!


Has anyeone else had a problem receiving x-rated emails? sm
It started a few weeks ago, and they come in with the name on the email as my husband's name, but it's my own email address. They are usually lewd subject lines, talking about male size, and crap like that. I accidently opened one and they all have to do with drugs like Viagra and Cialis. They had a website to link to to get off their emailing list, but I can tell that they have somehow just glommed onto my system.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it a virus or something? Any ideas on how to get rid of it? It's not like I can block my own email address or my husband's from coming into my email box, which is exactly how they're sending them, like they're coming from myself!


Any ideas, please? I've been deleting something like 25 emails a day from these, and I'm getting ill just having to read the subject line that pops in with each one.


Many thanks, in advance, if anyone has any info on this scam.

She probably cares because as long as she is on 100% QA, she is receiving a lower wage, in addition
to holding up her eligibility for benefits (if she is entitled to them).
I have found that honesty is always best. I've quit a job right after receiving the equipment S

because a better offer came along.  I have always just been honest, tell them that I've decided to accept another position.  I apologize for any inconvenience, ask them to instruct them on how they would like me to return the equipment, and then I always ask that they keep my resume on file.  They are usually pretty diplomatic about it.  They'd rather you tell them up front than waste their time and yours in training for a job you're not going to be happy with.


The program is being determined by the file extension you're receiving. sm

If you're receiving a voice file that's opening automatically in MediaPlayer (which is what I think you're trying to say), then you will need to change the program that is automatically associated with that file type so that it will open the program you want to use.


The easiest way to do this is to open Explorer, locate the voice file, right mouse click on it and choose Properties. On the General tab in the first "block" where is says Opens With, click the Change button and then choose the program you want to use from the list that appears. This will change the program that opens ALL files with that extension.
