I am learning as I go, so forgive me. I was able to add the normal.dot BUT autotext doesn't pop up when typing as it did with 2003. I obviously need to learn A LOT more :(

I might have fixed it....
After I was able to get the links to show up again, I then saved the page in "Favorites" (deleted my old link that was there) and now when I click on it from my favorites, the links are continuing to show up on the left side/blue area - so far. LOL. We will see if this lasts now. :D
I really think it is fixed! sm
I tried voting for Chris on Tuesday night and I could NOT get through at all! I honestly believe that they did not want to send Katherine home because that has the potential of losing the male audience! How many guys sit around and want to watch 3 guys sing? I truly, in my heart and soul, think the entire thing is bogus. Although, he is really and truly talented and I think he will definitely be selling records in the near future, which I will gladly buy!!!!! JMO HE SHOULD HAVE WON IT ALL!!!!
Thank you so much... I fixed it.
It's Fixed Now!
Thanks for notifying.
MTStars Support Team.
Thanks we fixed it.
It was on my kids computer; not mine. My daughter was playing a game, and the letter keys wouldn't work. It's a Logitech Cordless (cheapo) and I downloaded software from the site, and then my son pulled the plug on the optical eye, plugged it back in, and it now works! Thanks.... Everyone!!!!
OE problem fixed!
Just wanted to let you know that I just did a restore (a quick 10 minute fix) and my OE works fine again! Apparently I had some corrupted files. I was very hesitant on trying this in fear of files I might lose (particularly work ones) but everything appears fine so far.
I am just So upset that I wasted SO many hours trying to fix this!
Here's how I fixed that...not to say it will work for you.
I work as an IC for a large service. I went through the misery for about two weeks after getting a new doctor who was either too lazy or too clueless to give the demographic information needed. I swear that I spent as much or more time looking up old reports if the dictation was for a followup, etc., as I did typing the darn report. I said forget this. Every time he left out the SS#, MR# number, DOB, or did not spell a name, I used my highlighter on the tool bar and typed in "not given". It took him about one week of getting reports back to his office where one of the office staff had to look the info. up or give the report to doctor to fill in missing information. I made him as irritated as he made me. About one week later, and to this day, he very rarely misses any pertinent info. I ran this through the MTSO before I highlighted, and explained to her that when I ran my own service, there is no time or tolerance for doctors who fail to give pertinent information on an important medical record. Any MTSO who pressures you otherwise to waste your precious time on this is not worth working for! Good luck to you!
If not identified, it will never be fixed!
I don't want to crucify them for making an error. I want the error to be known, noted, and corrected in future editions! I also want to be aware of any other known errors in this publication so I will not bilindly follow the book and make the errors they are providing, considering I have PAID for their PROFESSIONAL guidance!! Is that unreasonable?
Fixed wireless.
Has anybody had any experience with this. We have a company providing this close by. We only have dial-up and satellite has such bad reviews. I am trying to research any possibility.
Fixed wireless
I looked into this in IL when I lived for a short time in a rural area -- VERY expensive and if you rent, its a hole and mounting "a permanent structure" -- also, you are locked into a contract with that as well and not everyone has radio towers available or in the area -- frankly, the newer cards are a better alternative.
Hey, got it figured and fixed!
I went to the Nuance/Dictaphone web site and looked at their information base and lo and behold, there was the problem and solution. Apparently it's common with Windows XP or 2000 and they recommend a particular file download, DPVoicer1132.exe. I did that and ran it and after rebooting, problem fixed!
Thought maybe an update might help someone doing a search on here in the future.
I FIXED IT... see link...
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA101055371033.aspx#1 I followed these instructions, and wahlah!!! :)
I will print your suggestion as well. I watched a demo on Word earlier and it is so "full" (for lack of a better word). I am so impressed with this edition!!
Thanks to all!!

macro - fixed
between windows & mac, something got squashed in the file name reference. Let's see if it pastes cleanly now.
Make sure you create a text file c:
eplacetext.txt and put the entries in the format specified
findthis|replacewiththis
teh|the
mjsmithx|Michael J. Smith, MD,
HIPPA|HIPAA
etc....
Note - if you want to change the file name or location, change the corresponding OPEN statement in the macro below. Also, if you want to change the delimiter character from the hardcoded (single pipe) value to something else, change the delimchar line below and the text file accordingly.
You can insert this into a module in your normal document template -- or in a specific document or template if you don't want it in Normal -- post here if you need more details
This will run through every entry in the text file and make the corresponding replacement in the target document.
Sub replacemulti()
Dim TextRaw, FindText, ReplaceText As String
Dim delim As Integer
Dim delimchar As String
delimchar = "|" 'Must be a single character for this version.
Open "c:
eplacetext.txt" For Input As #1 ' Open the find/replace source file.
Do While Not EOF(1) 'Loop until end of file
Line Input #1, TextRaw 'Read file, one line at a time
delim = InStr(1, TextRaw, delimchar, 0) 'Get the position of the delimiter
FindText = Left(TextRaw, delim - 1) 'FindText = text to left of delimiter
ReplaceText = Mid(TextRaw, delim + 1, Len(TextRaw)) 'ReplaceText = text to right of delimiter
'Do the replacement
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = FindText
.Replacement.Text = ReplaceText
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = True
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Loop
Close #1 ' Close file.
End Sub
Thanks all. I got it fixed but have no idea how. Think it had to do with my keyboard though! nm

Fixed wireless works well
If you're talking about tower wireless (like a radiowave wireless type), as long as you have it set up to receive the signal well (requires high enough antenna)then you should have a nice, clean connection.
problem with mail fixed
This morning when we tried to download our messages, nothing downloaded. We tried our WebMail function, and got a "Unidentified Server Error". So we thought attglobal.net was temporarily down. Waited till 10 am, and still the same. We call AttGlobal support, and they got things back. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I just got fixed wireless broadband
And I love it! No lag like satellites. I thought I'd never get broadband since I'm a mile from the nearest house but this is a very nice connection.
Obviously it is not fixed if Norton keeps detecing it...
mine keeps detecting it as well. It will stop for a couple of days and then start in again.
I would like to know what the "glitch" is exactly...
No, had that fixed a long time ago!
No CAD for me, will buy my own CABG.
At an old job we could return work we did not want, but then they fixed their platform so you could
so it is probably only a matter of time before all companies do that, smart thing to do but yes it does cut into your paycheck if you get a horrible run of bad ESLs.
never mind, his smart wife fixed it.
I fixed it. Some days I really get tired of making them look

Has Spellex fixed all those weird entries yet? (sm)
Doesn't DocQScribe use their word list? I remember going crazy trying to delete all the Brit and Ozzie terms. Um, hello, I work for American docs who get peeved when 'color' is spelled 'colour.'
I'm using a fixed wireless broadband connection
And so far, so good. The tower is just across the cow field, though. I haven't had any cutting in and out and I feel like a kid with a new toy since I'm able to watch You Tube, etc. now. My provider (SEIdata) came and did a site survey before installing it first and told me I had an excellent signal. They put a small box on my roof and ran cable to my office. I plug into an Ethernet modem and I can WIFI it with a router if I want to, too.
I've heard mixed reviews on the "cards," but I would recommend fixed wireless if you have a provider that does a site survey and installation.
Oh, good! Maybe they fixed the problem. I'm going to check right now. Thanks!
:)
Thanks. I think I have it fixed now. I will print your instructions in case I have another -sm
one of those days in the future which I am sure I will!!! Thanks again.
No, not zipped. I was missing a Codec file - Fixed now! Thanks anyway! nm

I'd get the riding mower fixed pronto, granted - sm
push mowing 3 acres is probably great exercise, but it must be a bit time consuming. I used to cut 1.3 acres and it would take about 60-90 minutes on a riding mower, and that is with a house and pool in the way; can't imagine how long it takes to push mow 3 acres.
Thanks y'all. Changed hot keys and that fixed the problem. nm

mine stopped doing that weeks ago. I believe the glitch is fixed. NM

Auto backup has to be fixed through the call-in system
Go under keypad menu, and then fix the auto backup space or through the Transcriptionist ID settings on the setup. Also, the dictation system should have a separate code/key for larger rewind to hit.
Hope that helps!
Yup, mine did that a few years ago. New battery fixed it right up. Be sure to write down your setti

My "techies" come to the house and most of the time get it fixed here. They built the computer

Bkea1985 - Did you get your chipmunk problem fixed with Express Scribe? sm
If not, did you see my message below about trying a different Wavplayer, such as Bytescribe or any other wavplayer. You can usually download a trial (know you can with Bytescribe) and see how that particular voice file sounds with that.
I am laughing so hard, I swear I fixed my 'pot' (for potassium) expander, and it came out pota

Sort of
Here in NC we had a very hot summer, followed by a comfy fall. It was cool and dry, and I was able to keep the heat off, and just occasionally use the AC when we'd get a warm/humid few days. But since the temp dropped 50 degrees IN A DAY, all my savings are being sucked away as my heat pump had to go into overdrive to warm my house up quick.
I sort of do
I have one full time job of about 50 hours a week for a national MT service. I also work for an imaging center and radiologist for about 25-30 hours per week doing transcription and coding. I am a single mom of a six year old and live with my BF and his teenage daughter. It is trying sometimes. I sometimes do not work as much on the second job, but overall I work about 70-80 hours per week most of the time.
most definitely have some sort
of day care, even if it's someone coming to your house for part of the day. you're not going to be able to make any money if you're stopping every couple of minutes to tend to your child-I know because I have to have my 3 yo home with me 2 days a week and unless he's sleeping, I have to stop every 2-3 rpts for some reason or another. in the summer it's easier because I can take my laptop outside while he plays. even it your child is older, it will still take a while before they know when it's ok to bother you and when it's not. it's the best thing being able to work from home but it will take a while for you to develop a routine. good luck!
Sort of like....
asking if Bush is a good president because he's shipping out our U.S. jobs faster than he can say "Sadam tried to kill my daddy so I invaded Iraq." My opinion? I wouldn't read that rag if I got it for free. AAMT orgnization is synomous with Judas, Bush, etc.
I did this..sort of
I still have a couple small accounts but they certainly aren't worth the aggravation and may be giving them up.
The downside is getting used to only having 1/2 the money as before since the taxes are being taken out from the get go and now having to meet production on a daily basis which is getting tougher to do, having to remember to ask ahead of time for time off and vacations and especially trying to remember to ask if I want a holiday off. Having someone tell me what to do.
The upside: Health insurance, pension plan, savings account, paid holidays, extra pay for overtime, having taxes taken out immediately and not having to pay quarterly taxes. .. No more headaches. No more scrambling to find more tax write-offs at the end of the year, getting refunds from the IRS instead of paying in.Incentives for going above and beyond the call of duty. Having weekends off (first time in 8 years), having part of a day for myself (first time in 8 years).
Need I say more?
I had one of those, sort of....lol
I had a doc who always dictated from his cell phone. Well something happened to where he didn't get it hung up or maybe he had another call and forgot he was on the other line, I don't know. Anyway, at the end of the dictation it sounded like he hung up and then the phone started to ring. He answered it and said hello a few times and then said "F-you" and hung up. I laughed my butt off because he was basically saying that to himself because he didn't hang up. Dumb butt! lol
I sort of did that
When I came home to type 13 years ago, I was expecting my third child. Prior to that I did have 5 years on-site experience, but it was all in one specialty. So, acute care was new to me. I did it. My line count at that time was 1000 lines a day. I admit that many days I did not get to the count, but I tried very hard to make every report perfect. I learn a lot from looking things up. I kept my babies close by with plenty of toys, play pens, VCR, Disney movies, etc., and there were many times that one fell asleep across my arms while I was transcribing.
I think it can be done if you want it bad enough. I love working from home!
I have sort of done this - sm
I can be paid via PayPal and had the PayPal MC, which if I have money in my PayPal account, I can use like a credit card. Just paid for some car repairs that way. I can also receive a check, which I have started doing lately as PP charges me about $40 for the privelige of getting my money this way. Has nothing to do the their credit card, just my account fees they charge for incoming funds. So to save that cash I just get checks now. In the future I will probably put some money in my account there though so I can use the MC as I am trying to not use any credit cards anymore. Just make sure there are not any fees for loading the card, or transaction fees, etc.
I said nothing of the sort. SM

Is there any way to sort that out?
All the variables, I mean. I have been at the same company for my 2 years, so I don't have anything to compare to.
As far as platform, what is considered slow about it (and the time involved you are speaking of).
At this point, I can see a lot of difference between accounts. It really seems like companies should try to give each MT a mixture of slow and fast accounts to keep it fair.
I was sort of in the same boat
My mom's doc told her in 1996 that she had "a touch of emphysema, nothing to worry about." (He was a lousy doctor but I didn't realize it then).
She had lived in a trailer on our property rent free for 10 years independently before this happened, then she got the shingles, "most severe case I've ever seen," was hospitalized for 2 weeks and went downhill after that. I moved her in with us as she developed macular degeneration, plus she was almost deaf.
The last straw came when she was walking through the hallway and her legs went out from under her. She broke her hip and walked on it like that for 2 weeks. I quit my job to stay home with her after that. She spent 2 wks in a hospital and 6 wks rigorous PT in a nursing home, then came back home. I did everything for her. She even gained weight, went up to 96 pounds (4'11"). She also came on on oxygen because of her "touch of emphysema" which turned into full blown COPD.
She then got pneumonia, was hospitalized, and then started to develop memory loss. Her macular degeneration got worse and she couldn't tell day from night and sometimes, her biological clock would get mixed up and she'd be waking me up at 11 p.m. thinking it was 7 am. She loved to read but couldn't do it anymore. My son gave her his large screen TV so she could at least see that, but she couldn't hear without the sound being turned up LOUD.
After 3 years, she was almost bedridden. Her bedroom was next to my office and I had a bell that she would ring if she needed me.
I had a nurses' aide come in every day for 1 hour a day to bathe her and give her breathing treatments. That was all Senior Services could do for her because of her limited SS income.
In the meantime, I got a job through my former hospital working for them at home after she broke her hip. .I also worked full time 1 job, and had a couple small accounts, took care of her bills and checking account, our three accounts (both self-employed).
We had a lot of friends that would come over on the weekends but where was I? In the house working and taking care of her. I never left the house for those 4 years except to do grocery shopping...and it was never more than 1 hour so the nurses' aide would be with her while I was gone.
She broke her other hip in January 2000. I spent every day in the hospital with her, but there was nothing I could do. I couldn't stay the night because this hospital wasn't set up for that and I couldn't afford it anyway. I knew she wasn't going to make it this time and 2 weeks after celebrating her 79th birthday, she was gone.
Anyway, I feel for you and know what you are going through with the exception of 1 thing....I have no siblings. Hang in there and keep doing what you are doing. You'll never regret it. Three people know you're the right person. You, your mother, and God. Forgive your uncouth (sic) siblings...and if you get mad enough, tell the one that keeps winning the money to hand some over for a change. He might surprise you. Heck, he may not even know the problems you're having. You should tell him.
But in the meantime, just keep taking care of, and loving, your mother for as long as you can...and don't forget to tell her you love her all the time, too.
How about some little stickers of some sort...maybe that will help!
I know that sort of sucks, but that's what the gov

A sort of update...
I still have not started, but I did call my GYN and she said to wait for about a week and if I still have a negative preg test to call her and come in for blood work. Thanks everyone for your sweet replies, it means the world to me. I will let you guys know!!
Thanks! That's what I was sort of thinking
but I really hope more post overnight or in the morning. I have been leaning towards the feeling that it can't be this bad - that it might exactly be the quality of transcription. I work for a big national, and its been getting worse and worse. I actually get upset when I see the critical errors coming thru, and nobody, from the MT to management, care. And I just sort thru this day in and day out. By the end of the day, I am exhausted and depressed. I never dreamed QAing would be what it is, and I for sure have tons of respect for QAers. I think I would rather be inspecting dolls on an assembly line. Unfortunately, or fortunately, though, I do make decent $$ at it - more near $20 an hour, and have loads of time off, but I find its not doing me any good - I use it all for sick time rather than fun. Sorry for carrying on, but thanks so much for listening. And maybe hearing my story will help some QA phobic MTs realize that its not an easy job. No matter how kind we try to be, everyone hates us. I feel like a dentist! Yet sure don't make that kind of money!
