Office 2003 versus 2007
Hi,
I am still working in Office 2003 but have been considering Office 2007. Is anyone using this? Do you like it? Do you know if programs like Shorthand, Abacus, and other transcription programs work with it? Is it possible to have Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same computer without interfering with the one another??
Yes, I lost mine. I upgraded the Office 2000 package to Office 2003. sm
I have over 2000 autocorrect entries and lost them all as well as my supplemental dictionary for my Stedman's spellcheck. Lots of grief!
Maybe you will be lucky and not lose anything. Good luck to you.
How did you get Office 2007 when it has only --sm
been released to businesses and is not available to the general public yet?? just curious. (wish I had it)
$400 for Office 2007?
Why so expensive? I cannot afford to buy this. Any suggestions? I need to upgrade but at that price I simply cannot afford to take the job.
Office 2003--sm
I like it better than 2000. The only thing I have noticed with it though, although it was true of ALL versions of Word, was that when using it as primary for word processing and using auto correct for expansions, it seems like the capitalization after a period tends to erode after a while and sometimes it won't do it, particularly with the most used letters, like T, R, S, etc. but like I said, ALL the Word programs I have used have done this over time.
MS OFFICE PRO 2003 FOR $69.95

Spellex already supports Office 2007
I just recently got a new computer and it came preloaded with Vista and Office 2007. I went to Spellex's website and they had the Office 2007 version already available and I believe it was $40 for the upgrade for current customers. Hope this helps :)!!
Microsoft Office 2003
I believe you can get a 30-day demo from the Microsoft website. I did that and then decided I loved it and was able to get a lower priced version from Costco for about $129. It is pretty nice because it comes with Excel, etc. Here is the link:

Hope this helps!
I also use Outlook 2003 with Office, but
your email comes through your ISP into outlook, and your ISP has a storage quota. unless you *save* your emails to your hard drive, mine...two 80GB hard drives, they are not stored on your computer. If you keep them in your email files, your email storage has a quota. by the wording of her email, it sounds like she DID save these files to her hard drive, and that was why it took her so long to find them, put them in email, and return them.
Also was told Office 2007 is meant for Vista.
It requires a lot more power than most machines have with Windows XP.
I purchased Office 2003 at Amazon.com.

I bought MS Office 2003 online...
The company I recently started with only uses Word 2003. I bought a new version of Office 2003 online. I can't connect with the site I bought it from (bargainfire.com), but if you dig deep enough on a Google search you will find something. I remember it took me a while. Good luck!
Does Anyone Know of A Good Medical Spell Checker For Office 2007?
Hello all! I am new to these boards :) . My husband bought me a new computer with office 2007 installed on it for Christmas :). I was curious if anyone knew of a good medical spell check for Office 2007. Thanks In Advance!!!
I use SmarType with Microsoft Office with Word 2003
I have had this problem and have even lost documents and was told by Microsoft that this is a Microsoft bug that they have no fix for. I called them and e-mailed and they said they are working on a fix. Can't give me a solution and no time frame of when they will have a patch.
My Stedmans spellcheck disappeared with SP 2 for Office 2003!
An update from Microsoft of SP 2 for Office 2003, a reboot and now when I open Word my Stedmans spellcheck doesn't work. I tried to reload it and that doesn't work, either. Anyone else have this happen? I looked and it's in "Proof" for dictionaries as LEXB4SP, but it's not loading up and replacing the Word spellcheck. Now what do I do?
I have Vista and am running Office 2003 on it just fine.
I haven't used Word 2007 even though I have it, just because I haven't been able to buy Stedman's for Word 2007 yet.
I use Vista with Office 2003 Student/Teacher edition. nm

Have most people had good luck with their MQ office closing and moving to the regional office. Have
things gotten better or worse for you.
Might be able to rent one from an office supply or office machine repair shop

I gave a tin of toffee for each office and a Lia Sophia necklace to each office manager. ~nm~

Office politics. That is why I enjoy working at home. In the office,
people are in other people business. Just mind your own business.
Can anyone suggest an office in MQ that is not run like this Amherst office. They are absolutely
pathetic. I wonder how many other MTs are in that office in the same situation.
Just DQS from my office was transferred and the rest are getting on DQS before the office closes.

Pay kids work around office, renovate office.

It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
30 day TAT in this office ... office politics at its best
I have kept in touch with an MT I worked with at the last in-house job (radiology). This was inpatient radiology and also an outpatient radiology clinic the hospital operated.
One of the girls, a person who at one time folded towels but who was hired as a clerk, was just discovered to ahve not mailed out reports for 30 days. These include both in house reports and outpatient reports. They have been sitting on her desk because she "has not had time to do them."
What do you make of this? The lead MT is close to this girl (hence her being moved from housekeeper to clerk) and is trying to minimize the impact that not having the reports mailed to referring physicians' offices, as if it is a minor problem (how they found out about it is a doc's office called the MT's supervisor and asked why 30 days worth of reports were mailed to their office yesterday.
They were keeping it from the director of radiology. I think this is BIG and that heads should roll for negligence.
What do you think?
at home vs office - i am in office
well, I really was referring to the MONSTER MANAGER that I have, who has her favorites here, and she assigns them the easy doctors who say the same thing over and over, you know. I have to do something. I am losing my SELF at this point, with no church and no family. The stuff on here about running out of work, my lack of computer savvy, all has me just frozen. MOre about in-office. Do you have little habits like talking out loud to the dr? Someone will complain about you. Do you ever say a cussword? Someone will complain. Do you ever sigh? Complaints. About age - I was offered 2 trans. positoins in San Diego before I came here. I had gone to a seminar about how to look for work over age 55, had revamped my resume and my "presenting" self, and it made all the difference. Things are way different than they were evern 10 years ago, you will be judged by someone younger than you, but in this line of work they do appreciate experience and reliability. And the computer doesn't care if you're pretty. It's not your age unless you are sickly. Don't give up!! if that's what you want.
I do not use 2003--have 2007, but have--sm
looked under the help option to see if there is anything there that would help you?
Also when you shut down for the day, do you get a msg asking if you want to save changes made to your normal? If so, do you click yes?
does work in 2003 and 2007
I have Smartype and I use MS word 2003 and 2007 and it works in both programs (and on Vista). Personally I wouldn't trade it for the world!!! I tried just about every Expander program out there and I just clicked with this one. Email me privately if you wish with more questions.
What does this have to do with 2007 compatibility with 2003?
I open 2003 documents every day in 2007 on my Vista machine. I can open 2007 documents in 2003 on my old XP machine because I have the compatibility pack installed. You can also set the 2007 default to save down to 97 thru 2003.
2007 not compatible with 2003--sm
but there is a file conversion tool available. Whether this would affect the normal.dot file, I have no idea. Better check with microsoft word on that one. go to MS website, they have a lot of info about 2007
Word 2007 and 2003
Hello,
I have word 2007 and I know I need 2003 so does anyone know where you can find it or what to do? I would appreciate it and thank you very much.
BT
Your 2003 documents look the exact same way when you open them in 2007. sm
You don't lose any documents. Compatibility mode just means your document does not change to the new 2007 file structure and you can't use any new 2007 features in that document. "Compatibility mode" shows on the title bar so you know which format you are working in. If you want the new file structure, you just do a save as. If you want to convert the document back to 2003 so others without 2007 can open your documents, you can do that too.
The new Ribbon instead of toolbars is very different and takes some time to learn how it works, but everything you have ever known about Word is still there. I haven't had a hard time with 2007 because the majority of old keyboard shortcuts still work.
It's always in your best interest to back up your documents whether you are switching to a new version or not.
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.
I dunno about Word 2007 but Word 2003
has AutoCorrect, which is probably what you're meaning. When you program a macro, it records your Keystrokes and actions and is more complicated than what you're needing.
In Word 2003, type the word/phrase you want (i.e., degenerative disc disease) then highlight it. Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and your highlighted word should be in the "with" box. Type your shortcut (i.e., ddd) in the "replace" box. Click Add then OK. To use the new entry, just type what you put in the replace box (ddd). No other keys necessary. I would guess it should be about the same in Word 2007.
Hope that helps! Feel free to email if you have more questions...
Word 2007, Word 2002, or 2003
How many transcriptionists have switched to these versions of Word? I am still using Word 2000, and it works well for me, but have been offered job with a company that uses Word 2007, and another company that will let you use Word 2002 or 2003. I am fighting this and am at the point where I just might not accept a new job because of this change. I can't imagine why they would want to change from Word 2000. Your opinions, please. Thank you.
What office are you out of
and how long you been there?
not with every MQ office
It is on the list of "dangerous abbreviations" and is to be coverted to mL.
all along with the ATL office also
and just now trying to enforce all of the sudden. I have only met quota a handful of times since starting DQS over a year ago. NOTHING has ever been said to me directly. Even contacted the office numerous times concerning this and just get blew off. So frustrated!!
Is this every MQ office?
I have been with them 8 years and I have not seen or heard anything about a check other than on this board.
my office
My office is also my study room. It is lovely with a nice corner-style desk. I have a nice music set-up with cd changer, etc. and a nice sofa with a really pretty pine cabinet that holds all my extra "stuff". I have nice wall grouplngs with pictures of the grandkids and other things that make me happy on the shelves that are amongst the photos. It has a large window looking out to the front yard and a ceiling fan for a breeze.
I have another picture that I picked up at a yard sale last week that I also want to put up. It's a neat and quite large original pastel that looks like something you's see on Antiques Roadshow. In fact, if they ever come to my town I'll take it in and hope it's a treasure.
which office?
what region are you in and did you have to ask for it if you don't mind telling?
Office
For tax purposes I have my own office. Also helps me to be able to "go to the office" and shut the door when not working as it seems I get more done this way. It might be small 8 x 8 or so but is large enough. I also will not keep any of our household finances in my office -- strictly for work related items only -- others are kept in a small office in the spare bedroom. That way I do not feel I am at work "all day long." But that is just me. Still work in sweats the first few hours, start to work within 15 minutes of getting up with coffee. Tried the other way with office in spare bedroom or living room and just did not work as I felt that the work was always there with me. Patti
I have my office,

Not in my office
If you hang up or get cut off for some reason, you go back to the report you left off with. OP, can you tell us which office? I am in Chicago and hope it's here. I get stuck doing all of the ESLs and 20+ minute reports too.
why not ask? if you were in an office,
would you ask your friends there their thoughts/opinions?
What does your office look like?
Redecorating my home office..Maybe a newer/nicer surrounding can get me more motivated.. going kind of retro decor.. what does your work environment look like? Just curious..
Office
Mine is in an extra bedroom (converted to office). Working very well for me. Away from distractions, can close door if I need to.
Office
I started off in the bedroom, moved to the dining room, then as our family expanded from 2 to 4 kids, I divided the dining room in half (It was huge! Have sat 27 people down at one time, the largest room in the house), had walls built and what do you know, I know have my own space! With a door and a window! My two older kids are in their teens and I have been finishing the basement and moving them down there. I thought about going down there myself, but I like my little office and I can hear the little ones and the window leads right to the backyard too. Nice and peaceful! But it wasn't always that way!
The last job I had in an office the office..sm
manager seemed to think we would not see this take over for a long, long time and that many were trying it and going back to using transcriptionists. Let the doc know you will be happy to help him out should he decide it is not working out for him. I am so sorry for you, hang in there.
