memorizing it! Thank you, thank you! This makes so much sense (and with the symphathetic face/tone). It's hard to think straight and think of this when I'm the one in the situation. I'll let you all know how she takes it. Thanks again.

you know as couples go, angelina and billy bob were perfect skanks for each other. perfect!
i suspect they may get back together because they are both so skanky no one else can keep up.  that is unless she decides she wants her brother more which is skankier.
Printing

If they were to provide you with the ink cartridge then you would have to put it in and out everytime you printed something personal or for someone else.   You will probably go through 1 to 1 1/2 cartridge per year for their printing needs and this is an expense of doing business included in your cpl.   I do all my printing and do probably close to 35,000 to 40,000 lines per month and go through about 2 to 2.5 toners for my HP which is about $200 to $250 per year -- not even $20 per month.  At 10 cents per 60 charcters that is a decent  price and if it is decent lines, pretty good dictators I sure would't rock the boat over that.  Again, if you do they could go elsewhere or else give you a toner and say do not use it for anything else and ask for documentation when you use it.  If you become petty over this, they will become petty.  I just would not start out this way, but then I have been told that I am too easy on accounts but then they have been with me for many, many years, and pay on time and treat me well.   So do what you feel is best but to me it is just being somewhat picky. 


 


 


Not so...I don't DO printing....at all.

Printing
If they are doing the printing, I guess that may explain why she uses letterhead for every page. They can send all the files to the printer and don't have to worry about having the letterhead paper for page 1 and plain paper for page 2, 3, etc. If that is the case, you might approach them about incorporating the letterhead info in a header on page 1. They could then fill the printer with plain paper, send all the files to the printer, and still have letterhead info print out on page 1.
Charge for printing
I do transcription for a group of physicians out of my home as an IC.  One of the physicians (an Indian doctor) outsources his work (fortunately, in the US), which is fine with me as I have difficulty understanding him.  The office asked today if I could print his notes/envelopes after they're sent back to him and he edits them.  Does anyone have suggestions on what I should charge for this printing?  Thanks for any ideas.
I would do the printing and eat the ink cost - sm
write it off of course. If you can, use a separate ink cartridge just for their stuff and keep track of how fast you go through the ink. If it is excessive, then brink it up possibly and maybe you could bill them a printing charge every time you have to buy a new ink cartridge. But I'd probably just eat it regardless, it is not going to hurt your bottom line much and it helps them out (they save time obviously); the little extras help and you could get more work out of it, who knows.
Printing problems
I recently went digital. My clients are getting set up to print the completed reports. I'm having trouble with one client and their printer that is printing out a little differently than what my printer prints. I use Word 2003, so do they, but our printers are different brands. I've downloaded their printer driver and set them up in my Word. Just wondering if their printer is going to print the files out correctly now that I'm saving their documents with their print driver? Anyone have experience with this and have a solution? I'd appreciate your input!
Printer not printing

My hp LaserJet 1300 will not print what I send to it, however, it does print a page with a single line at the top - ?%-57755}euom%oog/ and so on.


I turned off the printer for 1/2 hour and tried again and it is still doing this.


Any ideas?


Thank you. Barb


printer not printing

Thank you for all the help. I tried everything and then called the place where I bought the printer. Three days of no printing, the morning the tech was due here the thing printed! He came out and determined that we probably had a "brown out" and that something was hung up in memory and it eventually cleared itself. Had a few other questions for him and so I guess the $90.00 for his 45 minutes of time was somewhat worth it!


Printing from this site - sm

When I print something from this site, i.e. a reply, the copy comes out very, very light. Is there a reason for this?


Words printing too small
Trying to type a letter in Microsoft Office Word this morning. Noticed when I first started the print seemed extremely large. Nothing that I know of doing that would have caused this. Used the minimizer and brought the words on screen down some. The writing on the screen in big but when I print it off need a magnifer to read. Tried everything but do not know why it is printing so small. Any suggestions on how to remedy this? Thanks.
Printing AutoCorrect List
Does anyone know how to print the autocorrect list on Microsoft Word 2007?  I've searched it on Google, but I keep getting odd articles that don't make any sense to me at all.  If anyone can explain it to me in layman's terms, I would be forever grateful!  Thanks!
check que - printing might be paused
double click on your printer icon and see where it has your documents to be printed... it should either say printing or printing paused or no documents in que.

Why is it that court reports are so well respected and their pay never an issue?

I feel like I am stealing when I ask to be compensated for my knowledge, experience and reliability. It is basically the same work, one is in legal field and one in medical field. What is up with that????


I have been printing my docs reports for six years - sm
I charge $4.50 per page for the original letters. I do not charge for copies because I am averaging about $120 for 30-60 minutes of work for each tape. If I started charging the copies with that, I would be making about $250-300 for 30-60 minutes of work, and my docs just will not pay that kind of money for transcription work that takes 1 hour of my time to do.

Now - trying to find someone to cover for me while I'm on vacation is a nightmare because NO ONE WANTS TO PRINT THE LETTERS. Go figure. How hard is it to print letters. The docs provide all the paper and envelopes and blank paper. I pay about $32/month for ink. But if I'm being paid $600-800/month for my transcription, $32 is practically nothing - a business expense.
Help with Copying and Printing Shorthand Dictionary

I am trying to copy and print my ShortHand Dictionary (the list of expanders) and cannot seem to find the way to do it.  Can anybody help on this one.  By the way, Happy National Transcription Week!


TIA.


 


Charging for printing/mailing reports
I just spoke to a doc interested in my services and one of the questions he asked was how much I would charge for printing and mailing the reports to him. The cost of paper and shipping is pretty easy to calculate, but the cost of ink as well as my time is a little more difficult. Is there some easy way to calculate this for an estimate or would some of you mind sharing your rates? I appreciate any help or advice on the matter. Thanks!
Make sure it's ok on the receiving end to enlarge. Sometimes it screws up the printing

No kidding! I just let that update the other day when I was printing and saving my taxes.
I bet that's what happened.  I will try restoring my computer to a couple days ago and see what happens.  But then I will need to know HOW to save my normal.dot somewhere other than where it is now so this doesn't happen again, because it is SO frustrating and on top of a lousy, lousy day to boot.  Thanks y'all!
Doesn't it give you the option of printing all the forms and schedules?

well i'm glad you've never made a mistake or wrong decision in your life. you have no idea what went through his head while he was there, and you have no idea what his situation was, or how he was feeling or anything. i wish my husband could be as perfect as you. ha, but then he would also be heartless.
Of course, nobody is perfect
but when your rate of pay depends on your QA score and you have endless pages of style guides to memorize, then one would expect the QA people to already know all of that information. I have done QA in the past as well and what I didn't remember, I would look up and many times learned things from the MT!!
Perfect!! Thanks so much.


Thank you!  Exactly what I was looking for. 


Have a great day

perfect job for me.... sm
Why? Because I love this job and doing it from home just makes it so much better. I get to work in my jammies without makeup, deciding what to wear, traffic, long lines at the donut shop, fighting for the optimal parking spot, office politics, the boss's "favorite", backstabbing, nit picking, monitored bathroom breaks and phone calls, etc. I do acute care for a large hospital and every report is different. It keeps my brain motivated and my fingers moving. It ain't perfect, but I love it.

Hi was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this company. Thanks.
lee perfect
do a search on Company Board, not under Google, but under MTStars. They use Emdat platform, which a lot of people do not like. I feel there is a turnover there, as the same jobs are advertised always. They are IC.
I don't get it, either. If we were all perfect,

Thank you so much!!!  You have no idea (or maybe you do) how excited I am about this!!!  I just started using Word about 6 months ago and I have been cursing the fact that I have had to get used to using my arrow keys to get around the templates.  BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!
This is a perfect example of why
we are losing our jobs.  After 7 years you still don't understand the terminology?  Oh Vey!
Wow! That is perfect!
That is exactly what I need.  May I copy it and use it?  You are so helpful! 
No one is perfect

I had a doctor tell me that he got a report back with fecal sac.  He laughed when he told the story.  It can happen to the best of us.  Try not to let it get you down.

sorry to burst your bubble! I have, however, been on the same acct for over four years, but it runs scant these days, so I am on another acct, but I'm finally getting used to it.  Can't use many macros though, cause very rarely have the same doc.  How 'bout when you find "that" job, let us all know where it's at!!! Have a good day!  Hey, what happened to winky!!!

Hey everyone, I need the perfect cure....
My son has been up since 3 a.m. vomiting and diarrhea, could be a good old battle with the flu.  What can I give him to help soothe his stomach?  Pepto Bismol didn't help at all, so I need any good ideas on what could stop the churning stomach.  Thanks.

Did anyone notice that since Dell has been having price reductions they are now offering Word Perfect instead of Word for Windows? How can you test/take a position with a new computer which has  Word Perfect if the hiring company is using Microsoft Word? Just another fly in the ointment. How does one deal with this?
Word Perfect

Yes I have used word perfect since the 80's. Last year when we rebuilt my computer  the newest version gives a choice of using word perfect or MS word . I prefer word perfect in many ways. Try it you will love it. I use it for other clients to create logos. It  has a photo storage to create posters and brochures  for example pictures of work my husband has done on worksites that actually show the quality of his work, his creativity and custom work. Steadmans also has a medical speller that can be added.
