Size of foot rest - sm
Posted By: Curious on 2005-12-23
In Reply to: Curious as to size of foot stool. I can't find one short enought. What's yours like? (nm) - quietmoods
I got a large one - 17 x 20 - because I have two foot pedals to use (different platforms) and they both fit on it side by side. I can adjust it to slope up from the floor in front to about 3-4 inches (or more if I want) upwards. The top of the foot rest has a rubberized mat to keep the foot pedals in place, and the base of the foot rest is heavy to it doesn't move. The brand is Fellows, and I paid about $49.00 for it...and I think well worth it so far. If you Google foot rests, and look on Shopzilla, you'll find lots of them - different sizes and prices and styles. Hope this helps.

foot rest
 So do you put both feet and the pedal on the foot rest?
Foot rest
I also would like to know if anyone has an idea for a foot rest. I also have swollen feet at the end of the day. I looked at my daughter-in-law's foot stool for breast feeding and thought it might work since it is slanted. Off to Google this and see what I can find.
foot rest - sm
I found mine by Googling foot rest. You'll find lots of them, all shapes, sizes, and prices. I think mine came from Fellows, but cannot remember now. I love it. No more backache. Good luck with your search.
Curious as to size of foot stool. I can't find one short enought. What's yours like? (nm)
It depends on font size, line length, margin size, etc.
There are too many variables.
Is this w/the built-in hand rest? Touch was nice, but the rest made my palms achey. Didn't

Trying It On For Size...
I've been transcribing for nearly 10 years, so I'm no longer considered a *newbie,* but there are still a few things I don't know about, so I'm hitting this board to see if anyone can offer up some advice...
Does anyone out there work for more than one company as an independent contractor?
I already hold one IC position and I am considering taking on a couple of more. I have to commit to a certain amount of lines for each, but no set schedule. They all are paying the same primo-rate with no incentive scale, so it doesn't pay extra to put all my lines in with one company.
You might ask, *Why don't you just increase how much you are working with your first company?* Well, my answer is that I don't like having a primary and then having my backup account constantly changing in order to provide me with work. I am thinking that it would work better to work for a couple of different places, each giving me just one primary account (and yes, there are still companies who do that!), and then just sign off of one and onto another when the first one runs out of work...
In my mind, this works out beautifully, but since I have never done it before, I'm hoping to get some pointers for those of you who have.
font size
When paid by cpl, does it affect your line count if you type in a size 10 or size 12 font?
I had no idea there was such a size either.LOL
Just out of curiosity, does anybody know how far into the alphabet the breast size goes?
I have a 7 y.o. boy who wears that same size.
He has a 16" and it's a bit small for him. I'd get the 20" so your sponsor boy can grow into it. They can always put the seat way down low if he doesn't already know how to ride without training wheels. Better to be able to grow into it than have to replace it 6 months later.
Does that help shrink it's overall size as well?

Font size
I have an account and they did not indicate a font size - I know that it makes a big difference the more that you have bolded in a report - what would be a reasonable font size or the standard font size to use?
Font size
I have read with interest the thread on font size. Now I know why one company allows you to transcribe in one font and then it gets printed in another - which is much smaller - which does make it harder to get your lines. I thought that it was me - but could not understand until I saw what was getting printed and counted, as to why it was so difficult to get a good line count when I had always done so in the past. Is this not in some way misrepresentation? You see what looks like a nice report and then when it gets printed it is so small that you can hardly read it - this also messes with the end of your lines and sentences - where if you make a hard page break on what is on your computer screen it comes up as something different on the copied version on the other side. All of the info offered was good and this is a good point to make when looking at work - especially if you are new and do not know anything different. 
What size is your monitor?
Just wondering what everyone uses. I use a 17 inch but would like a 19 or 21. I like mine big, but my mom who is also an MT says when the monitor is too big it slows down her production because her eyes have to travel further back and forth to read what she is typing. LOL Everyone is different. I've seen these huge monitors at the computer stores lately, widescreen, like 30 inches, and they look pretty cool. So...what size monitor does everyone use or would like to use? Thanks!
font size
If you are counting by dividing characters by 65 characters, no matter what font you use it will be the same. However if you count by gross line -- line charge no matter how many words on a line you will lose money. But if it is by by every 65 characgers (including spaces) you could use an 8, 9 or 12 font and the charge will all be the same.
Hospital bed size HELP!
Is there somewhere to find out hospital sizes. I am applying for a new job and need to know the sizes of the hospital I have typed for. I am not aware of where I can find this information. Is there a site or database somewhere. Thanks!
font size
Every place I've ever worked or worked for has a default font. You can have text on your screen set at newspaper headline size (like my MT friend who has macular degeneration) and it'll usually default to their 11- or 12-pt font. I'm sure every hospital or MTSO's software specs are different, though.
font size
I think you just go under view and change the text size to whatever you want it to be.
what is your font size set at??
The zoom feature will not affect the size of the printing font, but the font size will. Make sure it is at least 12.
It could be the size of your file.
If I understand you correctly, you have one word document that contains 50 (patient) files? That alone could be the problem, although your hard drive may also be getting full and slowing things down. Check the properties of your hard drive; do a disk cleanup if it appears to be full. Another option may be to reduce the size of your document, maybe splitting it by DOS or patient name.
screen size
Does anyone know how to change the size of your screen size so the text will larger. I saw this a couple weeks ago on how to do it and forget to write it down. I know it was either alt or control and some other key.
Thanks!!
Size of monitor
What size of monitor are you using??? I am seriously considering buying a new one and would appreciate input as to what people have, including brand suggestions.
Thanks in advance.
size does matter!
Is this fact or opinion? INC. is usually a larger business. The reason for that is because INC. means they can be a public company, have shareholders or venture capital, while an LLC is usually a small or one-owner business, an individual who wants to protect their personal assets from business concerns. You may see INC more often simply because of the size, giving them more public exposure, but doesn't mean they are outside of the US.
Font size
When I highlight the text it is in the font size I want, but when I insert the autotext it makes the font smaller.
Size 10 obese...no way! I'd rather be
thought of as obese rather than looking older than my age. I would love to be size 10. Well, maybe if I get down to size 10, I'll look younger than my stated age. Thanks for posting! By the way, I have seen myself referred to as moderately obese in my medical records years ago, but that didn't bother me like the age thing. I know when I'm overweight, but I guess a person can't always tell if they look older than the are, unless someone else says so.
How do I change the size of ....sm
the font or whatever so that when I am looking at my report the print is bigger. It not only changes the print for just the reports but everything else too. I did this before on a different computer but I can't remember how I did it. Any ideas?
All I can say is rest when you need it and - sm
listen to the docs. I, personally, have not had cancer but after dealing with my 5-y/o Wilm's tumor (kidney cancer) this year, our family has been but through the wringer. Jen handled her chemo great, lost her hair with 2 treatments to go (had 14). Kids are great about that though, got a little self-conscious but after a few minutes in a new place would forget she had no hair. I got her a couple hats for the sun and for her to feel better too. Painted her head one day, had fun with it. She had good days and bad of course, but for the most part handled it all very well. Just had a clean ultrasound and chest x-ray today, yeah! She looks like a little boy now, with dirty blond hair (was an incredible shade of red before), with now the roots growing a new color, a strawberry blond/red, really pretty. So if you do lose your hair it may grow in different (probably will). Jen's was very fine before, now it is a lot thicker, still straight as a board though as it was. You may lose some weight too, but after chemo is done you will regain it once you get your appetite back. Best wishes to you and feel free to email ! 
Just take out 1/3 of the mix so far and add only 2/3 of rest

If she's like the rest of us MTs out there...
She's doing an excellent job and just wishes the docs would WAKE UP and start doing the same. Docs ARE incompetent for the most part, and that's sad. But you go ahead and think they walk on water, honey. When they amputate the wrong leg during your operation, you'll be the first to scream, LAWSUIT!!!!
How is this different from the rest of us?
I haven't said this before, but I've been thinking it. So the suits only think about the bottom line and the doctors don't care whose jobs go overseas as long as it isn't theirs. How are we any different? How many of us cared that textile/garment workers jobs went overseas? Until the lead paint scare, how many of us cared that toy making jobs were going overseas? Do we stop buying the latest electronic gadgets, not to mention computers, because they are virtually all made overseas now? For the most part, we didn't worry about those jobs, so why would anyone care about ours? Wal-Mart, K-Mart and the other low-price retailers push their suppliers for ever cheaper products, and plants overseas are the best suppliers. Have we stopped shopping there, or is price all we care about, too?
about themselves? Help the rest of us
I think it is wonderful that you are making so much money. Why don't you help the rest of out and share your secretes? Please...I need all the help I can get at 7 cpl.

It's the quality, not the size that counts
Font size! I never knew.
What an eye opener. I did not realize this was happening. Thanks for the info to all who submitted to the font thread.
What size monitor do you find to be the best?

Well, its a nice size big lake, but not too
big. You have your competing sides of the lake. Basically half of it is in NJ, and other half in NY. As far as I know, its rather a depressed area - not much in the way of work up there, so lots of low to low middle income people. But, that said, they are a very warm community - I lived on both sides, Hewitt, which is NJ side, in a tiny log cabin that was like fairy land. It was so cool. Unpaved road and little cabins in the mountain. Very dangerous roads in winter all around the lake, lots of fatal accidents. Sorry! Big attraction up there were a few bars/clubs scattered around border of lake. So lots of late night DUIs and accidents. That's about all that anybody did up there was drink! Literally. And most of us were bartenders, waitresses, etc. However, tourism really bottomed out up there, so again, times are tough. Great buys on houses, though, if you work out of area. Mahwah I believe is within commuting. Don't know much about schools, but would guess they are so/so. I believe West Milford might be the NJ school district. They definitely don't have their own schools, last I looked! New York side very depressed area - Monroe is nice and close by. Again, if you personally have $$, it would be a great place to buy a nice house on the lake. Boating galore, but sort of crowded. Great ice skating in winter. Very much a small town atmosphere - very rustic and tough in winter. I loved it there, but again there was no income other than restaurant industry. Back then I did not transcribe! Good luck to you! From another Lori!
All this talk about size-matters!
 I'm an 18-inch gal myself. I adore my little flat panel...if only for the fact that it doesn't take up hardly any space on my already dinky desk here. My husband is a freak and has 2 flat panels next to each other and is always doing weird things with them. They have come down so much in price these past few years it's not even funny. I highly recommend scoring one!
I've used one that's about the size of your car key fob. Easy

Maybe the size you are viewing the screen?
Maybe try changing the percentage the screen is viewed at....
I had a problem like that once it was my AC/DC wrong size.
I had this plugged into my massage cushion and when I was not using it any more I mistakenly unplugged and used it in my c-phone, it would have eventually ruined the c-phone, the tech knew what it was before I even explained it fully. Hope this helps.
The font is the size of the type, has nothing
to do with the character line count.

Autotext - font size
Hmm, I don't know. Let me play around with it, and I will get back with you. I have never had that problem. When you highlight your text, is it in the font you are wanting, or is it changing from that to a smaller font? Strange. 
Brower font size
I'm drawing a blank and cannot remember how to change the size of print within Internet sites. Can anyone help with this? Thanks
The rest of the world
Thinks Americans are suckers. We help everybody, give money away to everybody, and then they all turn on us. I'm beginning to think they are right-- we ARE suckers! Maybe it's time to tell the rest of the world to take care of their OWN people and problems for a change.
