larger text in Word - start by
to preview and select what suits you best. Toolbar should be showing at top of screen, pull down where is says what font type is in there. Otherwise, you can to either go to Tools to select the "formatting" toolbar, or go to View, then Font. Since my old eyes are going, I also choose the option to increase my page view to 150% (also on the toolbar at the top of your screen displaying some kind of number) by dropping down the menu (use the arrow next to it) and select the % that suits you best. Hope this helps.
Sorry, but your schedule doesn't justify making up your own rules. Use the word board for word q

Can you use the Word autocorrects or only Smartype? What about the Word auto text? tia nm

Anyone familiar with making MS Word templates?
I am trying to make a bookmark field, one that will take the text that I type in the first time and copy it to another location further in the document. The problem is that the font size is different in the second location. It changes from 12 pt font to 10 pt font and the copied text is not changing to the correct font. I hope that makes sense. Any ideas?
Word is making my crazy and I'm ready to tear my hair out!!
Does anyone else have this problem?
When working in Word, there are TONS of ~WRL0000.tmp files that are created (the 0000 are just placeholders for random numbers) and being used by Word. These files eventually cause the program to crash, close and restart, always giving the message that the normal file has been changed and asking if I want to reload. This can helps SEVERAL times a day and I'm just tired of the aggravation.
I have looked high and low for an answer to this question and I have yet to find one other person that has had this happen. Microsoft is NO help at all. Their KB only says that the normal.dot is corrupted. I have recreated normal.dot and that hasn't fixed the problem, either. I've done the same for the soap.dot that I use for notes--no luck.
The only thing that I can figure is that these .tmp files are copies of the actual note/file I'm working on (I've opened them up and looked at them). Most can be deleted but there are always one or two that can't be deleted because they're being used by another program (or so the computer says). Closing Word and rebooting Windows is not helping either. BTW, I'm working on XP OS.
If there is anyone out there with either the same problem or, better yet, an idea on how to get this stupidity to stop, please let me know before I go totally bananas!
 
MS Word Auto Text
I had inputed a bunch of my own "text expantion" into MS Word Auto Text and went in to work today and they are all gone. It is not the first time this has happened, and then you have to go and input back everything, which is a pain.
Has anyone else experienced this or know why it happens??
MS Word....anyone know how to get the text to appear bigger
Help if you can! Thanks!

Word expanders vs Auto text
What is the difference between Word Expanders and Auto text? Are they the same thing?
Thanks!

Thank you!
How could a dictionary/text or word expander..sm
compromise patient confidentiality? Just another ploy by MTSOs for control. Some of them think we are so dumb they would claim proprietary ownership to our underwear if they could get away with it.
MS Word 2003 auto text
I use Word 2003 with the platform that my company uses. I am able to save autocorrect entries, but whenever I save an autotext entry it is gone the next time I open Word. Is there some Word option I need to click that will enable my entries to be saved? It would save me so much time if this feature worked.
ExtText by Dictaphone -- Word 2000 - won't capitalize when making a new paragraph or after lists?
Hi. I am new at a job. The Word 2000 running in ExtText (Dictaphone) will not capitalize at the beginning of a new paragraph (never had that happen before), nor after numbers in an automatic list, and sometimes even just after plain periods, not just periods used in numbers (like hemoglobin 7.5).
What is going on? It works fine in the Word version on my computer, but when it ties with ExtText, it "forgets" to capitalize. It is especially annoying with lists, and also at the first of paragraphs, I never had to babysit that before.
Any help? TX
Auto Text too full-slow MS Word
Has anyone experienced having their Auto Text in MS Word so full that it slows down getting into and out of MS Word Program? This seems to be the problem, because when I accidentally deleted my "Auto Text" entries, my Word program worked fast again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Latest Instant Text revision 541 and MS Word
Has anyone noticed Word save and opening of new documents slow down since upgrading to IT Revision 541 or is it just me? I tried other things, such as clean disc, defrag, ran System File Check for Windows XP, and Registry Cleaner. These things helped speed up everything on my computer except Word, which would still be very slow to save and open a new document.
I uninstalled IT and reinstalled the older version and now Word is back to normal speed. Has anyone else experienced a slow down with the revision or is it just me? I also didn’t like how the new version linked with spelling and grammar check window in Word.
It's probably just me. I'm always having weird problems. I'm using Word 2002 (XP) by the way.
I just pull up in word and save as Rich Text File...nm

Can I transfer instant text word list to autocorrect??
Hi all. Well I have a ton of entries stored in my Instant Text program. The problem is, that now that I am using Editscript version 8 instead of version 6, whenever I use my instant text program, it freezes up on me.. So I am just wondering, is there any way that I can transfer over my IT word lists over to autocorrect in microsoft word?? I think this is the only text Expander I can use with editscript 8. I really appreciate any help with this!!
Auto Text entries on word. Is there a way to copy these or print these? Thanks in advance. NM

Instant Text claims compatibility with all word-based programs
I have used it with Word, PowerScribe, ExText, and a program based on MS Office online, the name of which escapes me. Works great.
Maybe response too late but I use Emedat and use Instant Text w/o a problem, as far as using Word ma
do not run into any problems with the spellcheck. Add things as I go if they are not in there.
You can highlight the entire list and use the convert text to table option in Word. You can highligh
You'll want to convert with 4 columns because you have a paragraph between each address. That paragraph will wind up in the 4th column. When you're done, you can highlight that column and delete it.
sure i was. i'm making fun of the people who are making a case for background checks, etc
to do medical transcription at home as if they may do something AWFUL with the info they receive. So if you want an invasion of privacy let's REALLY invade it and make sure fat chicks don't transcribe because they are so busy eating they can't get the work done, they mess up the keyboard with food and if they are provided health insurance they will raise the rates for the company sky high because their health risks are higher than others. Then there are the psychological issues overweight people bring to the table. After we eliminate fat people, we can go on to eliminate diabetic people who may have low blood sugar while typing and go into a spell and type the wrong thing. I could go on and on through the process of elimination. How about prescribed medications that may cloud your thinking? So you take Ambien to sleep but you have an Ambien groggy hangover when you are transcribing? Should they transcribe. How about your teens are on your last nerves and you take a Xanax? Should you be allowed to transcribe?
Do you like the larger font?

Yes like the larger font. Thanks.

Probably why the larger Nationals have their own
qq
not MQ, not SS, but see, most larger companies are ALL doing this...
everyone is trying to cut costs...
my question is, when the hospitals cut back on staffing (for example, the entire transcriptions departments, most all ancillary departments, nursing, etc.), the salaries/pay for all these Jobst, where did all that money go?
all I hear is how 'broke' supposedly hospitals are etc etc, but with all these cut-backs, all throughout the country, even in government, WHERE is all the MONEY?
why are we now to want all the savings to go to the heads of these corporations (hospitals are now businesses as well). they do not want to share the earnings anymore with employees, and we are supposed to like it?
benefits no longer have to be supplied by employers, etc, and every chance they get they are now making them contingent with hours worked or production...
well, where is all the money from all the savings?
it does not go to the patients (in the case of hospitals) because they do not even get to have nurses anymore, and are pushed out of the hospital immediately before they are even well.
it does not go to the employees, it does not go to the community, because none of taxes seem to go toward community programs much anymore...
where is the money?
why are we made to feel 'bad' about wanting more in our paychecks?
just not getting it here...I am worth every penny I get, and more, and deserve to have benefits and everything I used to have. rather, I am making less than I did 10 years ago in this business, plus less benefits...
sorry to go on about this...for those who are making tons of money right now, you obviously do not have to worry, but I am old-school, I guess. too much has been taken away from when I started...
10 is smaller not larger than 12, so it would be more than 65 cpl- nm

I think mainly the larger companies have
incentive plans, or the companies that have an unfriendly system so that it is hard to get lines, or horrible dictators so that MTs do the minimum and no more. From what I have seen of the incentives there are a lot of strings attached and a lot of times the company finds a way to get around them, others make the line counts so high that is is near impossible to get the incentives without working 16 hours a day. My company offers incentives if they get in a bind and get too far out of TAT. They pay a 20% for any lines over your normal line count, so that anyone is able to reach the incentive level, just how much depends on how much they are willing to work extra. I am an employee, but the ICs are offered the same incentives. I have worked for other companies that did not offer an incentive until they got in a bind.
I think some companies try to confuse you with an incentive, so that you think you could make more than 7 cpl, but then the incentives aren't that easy to make and you'd have been better offer spending the extra time living instead of working.
Yes, a larger font would be more comfortable. Thx! nm

Yes I like it larger..helps my old eyes! nm

Can't please everyone although we try. The majority like the larger font.
Yeah, we just moved and got a larger house...
so we have brought the dogs in the house now. I love having them with us and I know they are loving it, but the hair is just horrible. They are labs too, so they need lots of attention.
EMRs already in place and working well in larger institutions
The midsize MTSO I edit for uses an internet-based transcription system. Our programmers re-wrote some of our proprietary software so we could interface with one of our clients' (university hospital) EMR system. What it amounts to for us is that the dictator now dictates only the objective portion of the procedure/op note or followup note. The demographics, history, etc., are already in the record. In other words, what used to be a 150-line job is now less than 50.
I connect a larger screen - having two desktops is nice. sm
Just got my laptop cooler with its built-in USB hub, so I am adding other things.
Of course, the greatest thing you can do is take your job on impromptu vacations and not have to worry about approval from the boss.
keyboard shortcut/make letters larger
Somewhere I saw a simple keyboard shortcut that would make the letters in a program appear larger without changing the font size. I have a program I have to access at work and the letters are hard to read, but I'm not allowed to change the size. Does anyone know about this? Thanks!
If starting with a larger service, yes, you'll get training... sm
...sometimes one day, sometimes 2, 3, or more days, depending upon how much depth they go into. You should get account specifics for your account(s), as well as their expectations as to style, procedures, etc.
Of course, the depth and quality of the training can vary, both with the company and with the trainer (and, to some extent, can be determined by the others in your training sessions and how much instruction they need).
If starting with a smaller MTSO, I have no idea what to expect; but, with a larger company/national, there's usually a couple of days plus a period in which you're on 100% QA so they can monitor your output and let you know what you may be doing that needs changing, etc.
Instant Text Macros vs Word Macros
Thank you for replying to my VR macro question on mtstars. I was hoping someone like you with knowledge of Instant Text and VR work could help me out. Could you give me an example of how you would set up a macro to change a period to a comma and uncap the next letter in Instant Text for example? Do you think using macros and commands like this in Instant Text is more productive than creating them in Word?
Softer touch, clicky, yet larger size keyboard.
Don't know if you'll see this, but you may want to try the "cloned" IBM keyboard by the company I mentioned previously. It is the same size & layout as the IBM, "clicky", and yet there was a subtle difference in the "touch". I felt it "was" a "softer" touch compared to the original IBM. Wish I could offer a better explanation, but it's such an "individual" thing that it's hard to describe. What is comfortable for me may not be for you. I have the one I bought from them years ago boxed up for repair, so I'm just recalling this from memory. Haven't used it in quite a while, but do remember I did get comfortable with it in the interim without my IBM keyboard.
Oh - the memories - I'll never forget the "mag card" & how the part-time worker at night never failed to wipe out the "negatives" I had stored on "certain labeled" cards everytime she worked at my desk :o)
Well - if I do run across another keyboard I think you might be interested in, I'll address it to you as "me" & hope you'll see it.
I don't work for one of the larger nationals, but a good-sized national and
in 5 years the hospital system has been down twice and my company wasn't able to pull work and the company's system was down once for a hurricane and once the power was out for part of a day. I never went a full day without work.
I think maybe some of the nationals are poorly managed and they use "server down" as an excuse for no work. For a company that depends on their servers for their livelihood I don't believe they actually have the much down time. I don't think most companies pay for downtime.
Most larger drug stores carry a selection of OTC braces and will order others, too. nm

You realize by doing that they're making more money & you're making less? You should reconsid
structured text from free text...
eventually just templates filled in. being that I am near 50, I will probably be okay, but I feel bad for all the younger MTs just now in school. according to this article, we will all have to be willing to learn the new ways.

Info/help on open Word 2007 docx with Word 2003.
I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.
I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?
Darn Microsoft.
Is any one running ExText with Word 2000 and EditScript with Word 2003 sm
I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.
I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000. Has anyone done this or doing it now. If so, have you run into any problems.
I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company. I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription.
I am interested to hear any and all comments. Thank you so much in advance for any help!
