No spaces IMO looks terrible and is wrong. If you want it to wrap together use non-breaking space

Using non-breaking spaces and non-breaking hyphens negates the issue of the measurement ending up on the next line in a document; which might be imposssible to tell anyway if your work is imported into a format other than what you are typing it in anyway.

My ASR accounts do 1 space after the periods, though the acct specifics want 2 spaces. sm
So does the company set up the VR specifics to include 1 space after the periods so they can pay just a little less? Does anyone take the time to put the extra spaces in, or do you just try to whip through the report just to keep going! Do the spaces after punctuation really amount to big difference in my pay? Just curious as to how all of you handle this situation. Let me know!
That only tells the grammar checker to flag spaces. Word does not auto space.

MedQuist? Ctrl+shift+F, period, space, tab, period, space, space, change all. nm

Word 97 wrap
Did you try Tools-Options and at bottom check off Wrap to window?
Yeah..call me crazy but I pack it in bubble wrap and pillows..You'd be going a little further so
As far as a laptop, it's a hassle, but you can take that in a carryon bag so you know it would be knocked around. The worst part is that you have to take it out everytime you go through security at the airports but it isnt bad. I just ordered a laptop today so I can start taking that and retire my desktop..that is as long as this new adapter I just bought works like others say it will. My husband is bascially retired and I hated that he could travel without me so I quit my in-house jobs to go home this year doing transcription and now that summer is here and our little one is out of school, we're off and running. Vegas this month, then Calfornia the next..etc... I love this job!!!
A terrible, terrible gamble
Medical bills are debt. Debt is big business. Do not expect to find any compassion for your problems when you show up without insurance. You'll be lucky just to get care when they flag your chart "No Insurance" or "Self Pay."
If you are uninsured and do not qualify for state or federal assistance because earnings are too high, you are gambling on everything you own or will own in the future, including future earnings.
If you require elective medical care and have time to work out a cash payment deal in writing with the provider, you may be protected. You will require a signed agreement by every provider - hospital, radiology, lab, interpreting physicians, etc. If you fail to meet the provisions of the agreements you sign, the following will apply to this debt as well.
If you receive medical care without a prior agreement on payment, you will be responsible for the debt. After the fact, the providers have no legal reason to allow you to set up a payment plan. If you send a monthly payment anyway without a prior agreement, the only thing you can hope for is when they take you to court a sympathetic judge or arbitrator takes this into account. A voluntary payment sent by you won't stop any legal action and, in fact, may hurt you in the future trying to resolve the debt.
Every state has a set amount of time before a creditor can sue you (depending on the type of debt). For most states, medical debt is 2 years. So, from the date of service you have 2 years of collection agencies to deal with and then they simply take you to court at which point they will take everything you own and sell it at auction, enforce liens against your current and future earnings, and take every potential bit of future income or asset you may have.There has been some legal challenge to this in some states - check with your state attorney general's office to see if any headway has been made in protecting patients with medical debt.
If you think you'll just go bankrupt, think again. Medical debt is rarely discharged now since the rules have changed, especially if you at some point indicated you would be willing to do a payment plan with the providers - this is used against you.
If you think you can maintain your health and nothing will happen, you are dreaming. Make sure off the top that you no longer have a GB, appendix or uterus. You'll just have to ride out all the little things - UTI, flu, sinusitis, and forget about routine maintenance care. The stress alone of knowing you must not become ill or injured is enough to make you sick.
Anyone who tells you not to worry about medical debt while uninsured or underinsured is either ignorant of the facts, living in another dimension, or just plain lying.
My line including spaces is 65 characters. I've heard that not counting spaces
takes away over 35% of your line count. I believe it too because you have at least 15 or so spaces on each line that you type. Use your first sentence up top as an example; you had 77 char and 21 spaces - in that line that would be a little less than 30% of your characters that you didn't get paid for. I don't think it's worth it and wouldn't want to work without getting credit for my spaces.
I meant "One space or two", not "l space or two" nm

Breaking into Radiology
Is this easy to do? I have about 10 years acute care experience - all types, but have never done radiology. Thinking about trying that for a change since some say it's better money. I'm wondering if I should get some practice tapes or is it something that I would easily be able to pick up?
Thanks for your help!
They just did a breaking news bit on it..
they started saying 8yr old..now claiming it's a 15yr old that was shot and taken to the hospital. I imagine alot of details will be sketchy until they have more time. Again...God bless to all of you
We all have our breaking point...
I reached mine after only 14 months - you are much stronger than I. Good luck to you - I hope your new work will sustain you and bring you happiness.
tapes breaking sm
I would like to know how to repair a tape without sending it to someone to do it professionally. I have had this happen in the past and the owner of the dictation had it fixed. However, should I need to do it myself one day, I would not know how. Can you really splice a tape with scotch tape? I would really like to know. I know tapes are gone the way of the dinosaur but you never know! Thanks!
They seemingly are breaking the contract they
have with you if you are an IC. I'd make sure I document everything and go to the labor board or perhaps sue them. I doubt you could get very far and the other idea sounds much better, looking for employment elsewhere.
Breaking into acute care
I've done clinic work for a few years but want to do acute care now. How does one break into it when all the ads say you must have X amount of acute care experience? I'm unemployed now, so I can't ask a current company to start me off on acute care work.
Is it as simple as testing well for the companies that require you to have acute care experience, even if you don't have it?
BREAKING NEWS- I JUST CALLED PA DMV
I did not believe and glad I did not. For a license I was told a child needs birth certificate, with the raised mark, SS, consent from parent and a physical form. I specifically said this is a female- does it involve breast or GYN exam and they said NO- it is only saying the child does not suffer from something like seizures, then I asked a second time- if it involved breast exam or gyn and they said NO for the second time, NOTHING INVASIVE. This was a crock, saw right thru from the start.
Ok, doubting Thomas, breaking down what we pay
No health insurance (husband is union- nada, nothing, zilch), I paid 1500 in taxes last year and husband paid out more on his job and when we did out taxes, itemizing got back 3500 on that, 900+ month for house pmt and he has paid that, we have 2 new vehicles and he pays for both, the house and vehicle insurance both run a little over 1000 each- both came due in May and we each pay half of those - he 500 and I pay 500. The small house bills I pay, 184 for cable, television, internet combined, 75 budget billing for gas, about 200 for electric. We eat very reasonably as he cooks and the other night he did stir fry. He had used 1 chicken breast, package of mixed vegetables and with the rice I counted that meal to be less than $5.00 for dinner. He and I both have plenty left over. We both like to do shopping on QVC and HSN and do frequently. I do not see how so many unbelievers out here. We do it and have left overs.
They used to not pay for spaces, but a poster here said they are getting spaces paid. Are there 2

The perfect desk! No more chasing the keyboard tray or breaking it...
After years of going through desks at an unbelievable rate due to flimsy keyboard trays, I have found the perfect desk with adding a slight modification. I purchased a glass and aluminum desk (RTA Home and Office Products CT-009 from Willey Goat). The keyboard tray is actually a glass shelf. However, it did not come out far enough, and I contacted a local glass company to cut a longer piece of glass and RTA for extra parts to support an extended the shelf. Now I have a keyboard tray nice and big that I do not have to chase all day that will not break. I am in love! This desk was so easy to put together, unlike others that come in a million pieces. For anybody tired of those flimsy, ugly desks and extra support to rest your wrists/arms on, this is great!
We bought a boat, damn thing keeps breaking down and I have to work more now for repairs.

without spaces compared to with spaces
10 cpl without spaces equals to how many cpl with spaces?
Spaces versus no spaces....
Can someone tell me how big of a difference it makes if a company pays for spaces versus no spaces. I have only every been paid without spaces. I have been offered a position that pays for spaces, but the cpl is less than I am making now. I am not sure if getting paid for spaces will make up for the pay cut. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Breaking news. Bush directs H. Rita to Texas in order to curb illegal Mexicans from entering border.
LOL
I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
That is terrible! sm
If I were the parents, I would most likely be blaming myself; not my friends that I left my 2 year old with and not the person who hit the child on the highway! It would have been my responsbility to either have my 2 year old with me or at least make sure the people I left him with were responsible. As for the driver of that car, what were the driving conditions; apparently it was at night; was it raining; was it foggy; did they even see that little,tiny child; was the child standing or crawling or just lying on the road???????? It sounds horrible but maybe the driver just felt a bump! Maybe the driver didn't even realize he had hit a child! Maybe the driver just thought he ran over a board in the road. I'm one of the few, I guess, who believes the safety of your child lies only within your power. According to some, accidents do happen, but I don't believe in accidents! Accidents, according to the dictionary, are considered to be unforseen incidents.....we as parents, however, must use common sense to try to abate these "unforseen incidents".
Again, I do have greath empathy for the parents, their friends and for the driver of that car. They certainly did not preplan this but maybe a little bit of preplanning would have prevented it. I am sure that little 2 year old will be another beautiful angel in Heaven and that eventually his parents will know he is happy and in a good place.
That was terrible
Isn't is nice to know though, that later that night after the ER visit, the Cialis is what did us both in. You are probably still seeing stars - perhaps that is how I confused the daytime with the nighttime - it was because you kept saying something about seeing stars.
Wow, that's terrible...
The test measures personality, not character. It's a shame that they used the test so inappropriately. If it makes you feel any better, Oprah is an INFJ.
That's terrible!!
biggest losers but not in a good way. 
This is terrible....It was
70 degrees here today....just beautiful outside, and tonight the low is going to be around 30 degrees. They are calling for sleet and snow this weekend. Everyone is going to end up sick after two days of spring-like weather and then back to winter again.
Terrible
I wonder if the accounts are seeing a reduction in the price that they are being charged -- that is what I want to know. Went through this when NFTA came into effect with my husband and truck drivers. Also the car industry has gone through this with all the jobs going overseas. Pretty soon the doctors won't have any patients because no one will have insurance or jobs or be able to pay so they will be out of a job. I hope it eventually all backfires on them but I doubt it. I have talked to my local doctors, senators, anyone that will listen about this but no one seems to be worried. Tax bases will go to pot with everyone out of work, no one to pay the government. All we can do is to keep voicing our opinions.
That is terrible
Yes, another sad story....it's sad when they are people we don't know.....
That is terrible...sm
Yes finish that 2 weeks so that have no reason not to pay. I too think they are preying on new grads trying to get work done for nothing. What is the name of the company?

My son has terrible allergies and...sm
in past years has been on Singulair and Nasonex for them. They have always worked well together in the past to keep him from ending up with an upper respiratory infection and eventually nausea and vomiting from all of the mucus. This year; however, those two drugs do not seem to be doing the trick. I took him to the doctor and they switched him to Flonase and an Azmacort inhaler.
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with these medications and what type of results you got. I know Flonase is supposed to be wonderful for allergies, but I'm curious about the Azmacort. His nasal congestion does seem to be a little better than yesterday but I have not been able to guage any benefit from the Azmacort yet (I know, it's still early to tell). The doc said that if these meds do not work he will have to start getting allergy shots.
He will be 8 on Sunday. He has been suffering every year (this time of year is horrendous) since he was 3. Just curious to hear any comments and/or suggestions.
TIA!!
DQS - terrible program ... sm
On DQS acct, lines stink - on three other programs, same as you 300-400 lph. I hate DQS and proud to tell everyone. 35+ yrs trans. The old selectric typewriters were better, even Mag cards were better.

My son has terrible allergies
and will get to the point that he actually vomits up mucus. (I know not pretty). We have gone around and around over the past few years trying different medications. This year his doc put him on DuraTan PE. There is a pediatric formula and an adult formula. I have had a hard time finding info on this medication via the internet because it is realatively new, but it is a combination of phenlephrine HCl, Chlorpheniramine maleate, and Methscopolamine nitrate. It seems to work like a charm. Dried him right up. And my doc gave us free samples. You might ask your doc about it.
what a terrible thing to say...

I think this would be a terrible idea.
do you think everything posted on these boards is the gospel truth. No, the admin's would not be so foolish as to sink into that territory...
Has this been a terrible week for everyone...
I have to say, I am sooo glad it's Friday. This week has been just awful; whatever could go wrong, did go wrong; dang you Murphy's Law!!!
Let's pray that next week is better...hoping for a good weekend! 
What a terrible thing to have to go through...
I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. I cannot even imagine. I don't think there is much anyone can say, so the best I can offer is....{{BIG HUGS}}
NO! That is terrible. They should protest
at Gov. Rendell's office, outside his home, loudly during his Sunday brunch.....but NOT at the funerals of these children.
But of course anyone who would protest at a soldier's funeral is just a *freak* IMO. There are other places to appropriately protest the war if they are so inclined.
This country is really going downhill fast :-(
There's probably something terrible about them. Normally don't get more for stats. nm

I feel terrible for you!
That is very rude of her. That is very intrusive and you are right to feel strange. It seems like a bit of domestic violence going on here, the fact that she does not even think about your feelings. What if you posted all over a board which was antigay with your company name (not suggesting you are antigay but just an example)... I bet she would hit the roof, and get the ACLU involved, etc.
Do express your concern to the people who run the business. They may feel this unprofessional and request that this be taken care of in an appropriate manner. Don't feel bad. It is normal to feel strange when your rights are stepped on. Descrimination and reverse descrimination comes in all forms and there is never an excuse for it even if it would be considered PC. Good luck.
this YEAR has been terrible so far
