If I recall, there used to be a Short Form Schedule C you could file sm
if you grossed less than $2500.
Phrases appear in alphabetic order by short form.
You can type a few letters and see all phrases in the advisory or you can type a few letters and see a phrase, then a word, then a phrase. It all depends on the alpha order of your short forms so you are not going to get all phrases, then all words.
You can clear the option to sort by short form and use the frequency order instead, but I don't think that's what you want.
yes you can....dont' really need that form to do your taxes. nm

Just create a command entry and use a short form that's fast to type. sm
This will bypass the Extext command. Make sure you put the trailing underscore at the end of your entry so you won't get an extra space from your marker key. Your entry will look like this:
{command}{Alt.}_
Make sure you expand any abbreviations that are allowable. (sm)
I'm sure you have compared being paid on characters now vs. gross lines.
to short... I dont think you guys know what day care is.
At my day care they get plenty of attention. The government regulates day care facilities and there is a certain teacher:child ratio they need to adhere to.
I also dont agree that they are "better off" at home near the sounds and smells and love of the mom when mom is constantly saying, "please dont be so loud, I cant hear the doctor dictating" Or "Not right now honey, mommy's working"
And let me ask you this....ARe you able to work all day and also give your child "one-on-one attention all day?"
And my kids have been in day care for 2 years now and were sick maybe once each year. They take multivitamins and eat right.
No, but if you expand your memory card, it will expand. nm

I don't know if Ephedra will make your UDS positive, but usually you fill out a form listing any
medications you might be taking and I always thought the purpose of that was rule out false positives.

When transcribing "command" or "imperative" form, use verb form or "follow up"
For a long time I would become confused by "discharge instructions" type followup/follow up usage ...
Yes, the patient was to follow up with his doctor ... but was also to make a follow up appointment ...
In my experience, certainly your QA may vary and/or be inconsistent all-on-its-own ... but most of these truncated forms, fit into what I was taught was called "imperative case" and follow up is being used as a VERB ...
[[[ even though there is a reasonable argument to be made that "followup with primary care physician in 2 weeks" refers to an "appointment" which is a noun. ]]]
You can figure out the prevailing "rule of thumb" for your QA ...
Not having to think it through --- priceless.
I make a big deal out of them too and still dont get squat. sm
You'd think just ONCE they'd do something, particualrly aft I try to be so conscientious and considerate, but no................... :(
and this is a time that i NEED support.
Shame on you! 2 wrongs dont make a right.
hook into your electricity without paying you just because she could. Creative utilities? Cheatiing the government is cheating me, you and every other citizen. If it is okay for her to cheat. let her confine it to sticking her hand in YOUR pocket, she can keep it out of mine. What your g'mom think of you condoning this behavior? Do you teach your kids to cheat on tests?
Make sure chair is at right height so you dont have to angle

It is not a plural form. It is a possessive form. SM
The man's name was Metzenbaum and he devised this particular instrument. The correct spelling would be Metzenbaum's. WITH THE APOSTROPHE. AAMT BOS is full of crap.
I used Short Keys, not Short hand for Bayscribe, it worked fine.

Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.

Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are
new. I betcha.
to expand or not to expand?
When you transcribe for your accounts do you generally expand the abbreviation if they dictate an abbreviation like URI? We are getting paid by the line and so I have been expanding it. What are you all doing? I do the opposite on drugs when they dictate two a day I type b.i.d.
I am curious what you all do.

Ditto, short ERs or short OPs....short anything! sm
And I especially don't like long OPs, they are the most boring for me, and the doctors pause a lot cause they have to think more. I just want to be done with it! Next!!! ; )
I always expand it out to saturation - sm
but I have a lot of leeway in my accounts, no verbatim. But if I had to pick one I'd go with "sating" or "sats". I'd bring it to both QA people and try and find one they will both accept.
You should know if it's autotext because you have do something to expand it.
Redo the entry and make sure you don't pick up anything after the text when you copy it because it will automatically format if you do.
Are you using the spacebar to expand?
As the spacebar is an Expander key, meaning it will expand your entry and insert the key used to expand (in this case a space) then that would be a normal function of IT. The other option would be to expand with the period or the comma, etc when you know you have to insert punctuation at the end of that expansion. As the punctuation keys are also expander keys, IT would expand your entry and then insert the punctuation key and the end of the expansion.
If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont

have 18. expand library based on your need,
not on what the 'jones' have going on!!
Should expand when using the period after an expansion - sm
Shorthand should expand when you use the period after an expansion. For example... I have "tpi" as "the patient is" -- and if I type "tpi." I will get the patient is. (including the period)
I do similar format, but I use "X" to expand. sm
Like CHF is chf, but congestive heart failure is chfx, etc.
I put phrases like "The patient will", tpwx
Put your days of the weeks and months, etc. all in there capped so it does those automatically.
On headings I use like HPI I use hpi, to expand it I use hpix for history of present illness, and for capped and bolded I use hpib.
One thing I can NEVER remember is my "She has had" or "He has had". For some reason, I just type those in before I realize I have Expander for that, ARGGHH!!
I double the last letters on certain abbrvns to expand them or keep

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.
a. fib. no capital letters. That is a truncated phrase, should expand. nm

Please, don't "ex-pound," I probably meant expand!. It's late! Thanks

Long short forms vs short short forms
Carla,
A long short form is usually easier to remember. So I would definitely assign the short forms as suggested by Kelli:
SmithCThead
SmithCTabdomen
etc
In most Expander programs you would opt for a short short form as you have to type the whole short form before you can expand.
In Instant Text you don't have to type the whole short form: you type the first two letters of your long short form and then you can type any of the following letters.
So in this case you would type smcth for the first one, smcta, and you may also type smhead, smabd
This is possible when you use the Instant Text marker key to expand. If you use the space bar to expand, you may be better off assigning the initials as suggested in the second response, as you would not be able to "jump ahead".

The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the
reports they listen to quite frankly.
If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

I got the form and started to fill it out. Where do I get another one? There was a phone number and web address on the information but I'm trying to search and can't find anything. Help hugs

The new tax form
![](http://llerrah.com/images/taxform.jpg")
so as IC/SE anD EMP..which form did you use..
I was SE for most of the year and employee for 2 different companies last 2 months of year..I also am now part-time emp. with a co. and trying to start up my own business which I started up in Dec. and want to take deductions for equipment purchased for that business. Oh my head is hurting.
Is this form something I can...
request to fill out on my own, or is it usually requested by the IRS? Will the company I contract through know that I have requested this form? I, too, am an IC who is treated like an employee. I have worked a set schedule (days and hours), including nights and both weekend days, for a long time with little or no flexibility. The pay is good, though. TIA 
Form your own.
I love escription...won't work on anything else.
There has always been some form of
QA, don't know that there was ever an official start. Most employees in any business are evaluated on the quality of their work.
You don't need the form.
You don't really need the form.
continuous form
It probably means to just type the dictation and make new paragraphs as needed, but to just keep going down and make no headings unless specified.
I think that any form of indiscretion with someone
else would be considered being unfaithful to your spouse. That includes talking on the phone or in person when your spouse is not aware of it, holding hands, kissing, or "going all the way." Anytime something is done with another person and we feel it necessary to keep it from our spouse, there's something going on that doesn't need to be. This, of course, is just my opinion, but I hope it helps.
Just tell yourself all of that is just food in a different form. lol sm
Seriously, though, just put in your contract you don't do toilets, the same as some don't do windows. I bet there are people who would rather get other things done, and would be willing to do that themselves, especially if the price was just a tad bit lower.
form 8829
You said you use your den "almost" exclusively for business. Almost doesn't count. The room has to be used EXCLUSIVELY for business in order to be able to take business use of home.
would you say its the same as "paragraph form"?
thanks
why form "friendships" - probably so that the gov...
can dump more money into the pockets of the Indians! Did you know that the government will give out $60,000 loans or aid to help Indians/Pakistanians help open up a business in this country!! I couldn't get a business loan for $25,000 and I'm from this country!! Born and raised!! There was a grocery store in our town that was for sale and no one in town could afford to buy or get a loan for it, then out of nowhere, this Indian family moves to town (lily white community, by the way) and bought the store. They told the store patrons that the government gave them the money to open up a business. Can you believe that???!!!
