Shift - home will do it backwards to the beginning

Hold Shift and press F3 twice
F3 cycles through sentence case, uppercase, then all lowercase.
on toolbar, click view
then uncheck ruler
You need to press shift key and caps lock. You may
need to do it a couple of times. I transcribed for many years and never had a problem, but the last couple of years I have this happen about once a month. It isn't a malfunction of the keyboard - it is user error :).
MediTech Spellchecker is Ctrl+F1, not Shift+F1
Do it so automatically hard to remember (also, not enough coffee yet!). Sorry.
Ctrl+Shift+A toggles all caps on and off

You're welcome. BTW, you hit Ctrl+Shift+E when you turned that on. Hit it again to turn off.

Try ctrl+shift+left arrow to highlight the last word
then Alt + J to open AutoCorrect, type your Replace word, and tab to OK and hit the Enter key.
Make sure you don't have any extra spaces when you highlight.
Hold down Ctrl and Shift and use right arrow to highlight one word at a time. sm
You can highlight noncontiguous words by holding down on Ctrl and selecting different words.
if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V

One of my PAs constantly rides the microphone, click, fuzz, missing word, chew, click,
Left click on the taskbar and drag it back to the bottom. Once you've done that, right click on

Click the office button and then click word options. It's under proofing.

click on Tags, then Keystrokes, then click on the control box and the letter b
that should work!
Instead of Ctrl+Ctrl+Insert, try
Ctrl+Insert+Insert. See if that works. Mark the word-phrase that you want to insert first. Let me know.
Click on tools, AutoCorrect, and click on tab that says
AutoFormat as you type and uncheck the ordinals option.
If it's installed, click or F10 to open it, click on...sm
the little white piece of paper icon to bring up the window where you ADD your new entries to, type your abbreviation in the Keyword box, then drop down to the Text to Type box and put in what you need it to say, then click Okay. You're done! If you want to delete your entry, arrow down to it, then click on the Trash Can icon. It'll ask if you want to put it on the clipboard, say yes and hit okay. If you want to modify it, use the little hand on the piece of paper icon. I like to click on the Disk icon to save stuff once I enter it, too, as a backup. If you're working and want to enter a paragraph or a page, you'll hightlight your stuff, bring up the ADD window, copy and paste it into the Text to Type area using the commands on the bottom of that box, name it, and hit okay. To use hot keys and stuff, you'll have to read the instructions in the help file. Good luck! ..nm
Backwards
To me, those posts sound a little pitiful, or as if the poster is too lazy to do any looking. Do you think companies see the ads and say to themselves, "Oh finally, somebody who is willing to work!" If they did, each employer would have to contact you to ask if you were interested in a job with each specific requirement, such as equipment, IC/employee, etc. Not very efficient, right?
sorry, I had that all backwards..lol...sm
Now that I've tried to understand your 2nd post, I believe these questions you have should be addressed with your supervisor over at the company. You will be working from home FOR them, so you need to get clarification about EXACTLY what they EXPECT from you. Hopefully, they will be flexible so that if you make your line count, if a line count is required, you can do the lines in the shortest amount of time. However, you need to know where THEY are coming from. They may want an 8-hour workday from you. Don't guesstimate would be my advice.
Good luck with them!!!
I think you have it backwards
the "laziness" that you describe is more likely due to demoralization with the constant take-aways from companies. I think someone would be foolish to enter this field now and there are those of us who are too old to change careers. I refuse to give the effort I gave when I had quality insurance, good line rate, incentives, etc.
You are backwards
If you use the same margins, gross is more than 65 cpl.
No, I'm not backwards.
When I went from gross to cpl, I checked the math and came out about even. As other posters have mentioned, the font and margins make the difference, which I failed to mention in my first post. I know that there are more than 65 characters in a gross line.
I think you went backwards
If you can do 60 minutes of dictation in 15 to 20 minutes I will crown you Queen of Dictation. If you do 1:1 you are fantastic and I usually do 2:1 and to me it is great and I do clinic and have had the same docs for 10 year. In 60 minutes you would get probably 700 to 900 lines if it was decent dictation and if you can do that in 20 minutes, my hat is off to you. I think you meant 15 to 20 minutes per 10 minute report or something line that which would mean 120 minutes for 60 minute tape. Hvae a good day.
Going about it backwards
I do VR and put my audio speed on the fastest I can go in order to make the salary I want. I never ever go through first and do a read through. You are slowing yourself down by doing this. Why not do as you go? My numbered lists are all out of wack but I change them 1 by 1, never just reading the entire report first. You can get the speed but don’t ambush yourself in the process.
ESL Dictators-I must be backwards
The more I do the same ESL's, the less I CAN do them. I don't mind doing them as it is challenging, but getting the same ones day after day seems to wear me down and I can't think clearly, so it takes longer for me to finish a report. It used to take me 15-20 minutes to finish a report for a certain doctor, but now it may take as long as 45 minutes! I don't make sense to myself. LOL
have no idea - but it is backwards
kind of to offshore.
How about USMTA just backwards from your first one (nm)
nm
I have a backwards speaking ESL today.
He can't form a proper sentence. "Since discharge, for followup, the patient, two weeks ago, was seen yesterday." I wish it was a verbatim account.
Pepsi, desire you not. 
Hey you made a typo. Why would you go backwards? Cause you don't like your job.
That's why people don't like editor. Read between the lines. This editor/poster feels it is going "backwards" to be an MT. I rest my case.
you have it backwards, if you don't go to the doc get a high deductible
having a high deductible will really cut down on your premiums. Say you rarely see the doctor and don't have prescriptions. An 80/20 plan with a $5000 deductible can run you as little as $59 a month, and that has a $500 out of pocket. I have Assurant Health (formerly Fortis), for myself and the kids. For $5000 family deductible we pay about $3000. So the most we will pay in a year is $8000. But at my husband's last job, we were supposed to pay all of the premium for family coverage and they would pay for his coverage. Premiums were going to be $9000. Add a $500 deductible to that and 20% which would probably run another $2000, and a catastrophic illness for one person would be $11,500. $11500 is a lot more than $8000, plus with the Assurant Health plan that is our FAMILY deductible. With the group plan, if one more person got sick, it started all over again with their own deductible. So you have to do the math. Individual coverage for all 4 of us will run us $5300/yr, that is, if they agree to insure my husband. If you have ANYTHING at all, individual insurance will not take you. So keep that in mind too. Insurance is the reason why somebody in the family should have a "real" job :)
Typing and backwards, what systems do you use?
NM
I so agree w/you. Look at what Google just did - bent over backwards to
wanting to catch porn sites.
Why does the US always have to be so darn politically correct. We are going to //politically correct//outselves right out of existence one of these days. Kiind of like that song that says you gotta stand for something or you won't mean anything. We need some boundaries here. *They* won't even let us have a common thread running through our nation anymore of having English-spoken-here to have us be a unified country. They have fractured us to the point where we DO STAND FOR NOTHING.
X-press
Are you willing to give any info? Did you work for them? Thanks!
Where's the press release?
?
We should all send this to the Associated Press too,
which would be published in newspapers across the whole country.
info@ap.org
Press the FN key and Scroll (next to F12)

Read the report backwards from end to finish. Works great for me.
has anyone heard of x-press transcription
i took a test with them last week and hadn't heard anything. any info?
thanks
Of course not, the press release has already been released...sm
and it's all over the local news. Couldn't even tell my family until the press release went out. Actually, couldn't even tell my coworkers before the press release went out. Thanks for your concern, but I'm well versed in security, etc.; particularly this past week.
I wish we had a big button we could press that went BZZZZZZTT!!

There is an Associated Press article in today's sm
paper about increasing car sales in India. The Indian people are enjoying higher wages and are now able to purchase cars. Car makers are scrambling to get pieces of this new, juicy pie.
I wonder how long it's going to take before sending our work to India is not cost effective for the MTSO anymore. The Indian MTs won't be able to live on their 2 cpl anymore and will need more, and more. It's going to be interesting to see this evolve.
There's hope for us!
just press the Ŗ" button to slow it down
The "3" key speeds it back up
Sent It to New York Times and Associated Press
Send this or your own letter. Let us know if anyone gets a response.
I sent it to 2 staff writers for the Associated Press plus...
Forbes Magazine, 60 Minutes, USA Today, Washington Post, NY Times, and a couple of others. The Editor who e mailed me did not know I was an MT but that's okay - you investigate one offshored industry, you investigate them all. I asked him to check into any credible sources he had. You may have noticed in my letter it constantly said, "See what you can find out."
You can still highlight your word and press Alt-T-A to... sm
get to the Autocorrect dialog box in 2007. Your highlighted text is already in the With box. Just type your abbreviation and tab to the OK button and hit Enter. A lot of the old shortcuts still work even though the menus are no longer on the ribbon.
