Stedman's Med Dictionary and Stedman's Med Spell checker are two different programs. Which on
do you have? If it is the medical dictionary, as far as I know it is only a reference software and can't be used as a spell checker.
If you have the spell checker, go into Word. Click on Tools, Options, and then Spelling & Grammar tab. Then click on the Custom Dictionaries button about half way down the window. This will open a new window that lists your available dictionaries and one should be checked. Mine is checked next CUSTOM.DIC (DEFAULT). There is an ADD button to the right. If you click it, you will be able to browse for your custom dictionary.
Hope that helps.
I have only used Stedman's. What are some differences in Dorland's and Stedman's?

Thanks...so much for Stedmans nm
I should have googled it. Thanks again.
Stedmans
in Word click on Tools when you fully expand this option it may list Stedmans here if not then Click Tools then options and spelling and grammar and Stedmans should be listed under your custom dictionary.
Feel free to email if you need more assistance.
Stedmans's
hi. Stedman's does run in the background. as long as your word dictionary is set to CUSTOM.DIC, it will be using it. There may be a folder in program files, and that is a good thing, in case you want to uninstall it. If you check your "add and remove programs" it may be listed in there, as well. as long as your medical words are not being underlined in red, you are fine.
I use Stedmans and
it works fine with Vista
Stedmans
Thanks for the links.
You can try Stedmans...

Stedmans CMT
Has anyone here purchased the Stedmans CD to ready for the CMT exam. I am thinking about purchasing and was looking for some feedback about that one or any others some of you have tried and found that worked for you. I understand the exam is very difficult and I really want to take it and pass it for that matter LOL. Any help and guidance is much appreciated.
about stedmans
Hello, I just went to Word 2007, which is very helpful but now I have no Stedman's. My Stedman's is very old. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get Stedman's O7 or 08 cheaper than 99.00.
Thanks so much. Have a wonderful holiday.

wp and stedmans
Go into your wordperfect and open the spellchecker. There should be a tab for user dictionaries. Open that and insert new dictionary. There should be 3 with the stedmans title. Use all three
stedmans or you can
or you can just run the disc again and download it into your wordperfect. It should ask you what program you want to put it in
stedmans
Yeah, I know, that's kinda what I'm thinking too. It's the only one I've used in all of my MT career, so kind of afraid to purchase something else. Thanks!
How did you get Stedmans SpellChecker to
Did you have to change some settings somewhere? Please give me the details because when I try to install it it just quits the install process. Thanks so much
Please help - Stedmans/WP 5.1 question...
I recently switched to a new computer (Windows XP) and for some reason I cannot get my Stedmans spellchecker to work. I use WP 5.1 dos and my Stedmans is version 6 for dos. In WP location of files, it shows Stedmans correctly but when I run spell check, some really ancient version shows up. Any ideas? Thanks.
Stedmans GI & GU words

I rarely use my Stedmans
Its so much easier just to type in what your looking for! I must have 20 books just sitting on my shelf!
Don't buy Stedmans Path/Lab CD!
I'm SO mad at Stedman's! I finally decided to go electronic and bought a med/surg equip CD and a path/lab CD. No problems with the former, but the latter will not work and disables MS Word! And I'm not the only one, as you can Google it on the internet and others are having the same problems. Somehow it interacts wrongly with different virus/spam protectors and will start throwing pages and pages of licensing cleanup alerts into your task manager, disabling your word processing. I called tech support last Friday and they said they'd get back to me. I called them back Tuesday and they said they still hadn't figured it out. I called them today, still nothing, so I got mad and returned the stupid CD for the book. Six days of "trying to figure it out"???? He had said before they could install an unlicensed copy since the licensing was the problem, but then days later said they couldn't figure it out.
They also send you an invoice saying your payment is due by X date (with the return envelope and the space to fill in how much you are paying of the total) when you've already paid by credit card. They also charged almost $20 shipping for 4 CDs that weigh a few ounces. I'm NOT happy!
Meditech and Stedmans
Does anyone use Meditech and Stedmans Medical/Pharmaceutical Spellchecker together? I just purchased Stedmans to use while typing in Meditech and now someone told me it would not work? I have not tried it yet though. I will keep Stedmans though to use in Word so no big money loss.
cmt reference stedmans sm
My main reason for wanting to purchase the Stedmans course is to get the feel of the test itself. This way I am not going in totally blind as to how the test is done. I have read the description online, but would really like to have an actual pre-type test to give me a feel for the platform. That is really what I am most worried about. That and grammar. I have a great accuracy rating, I am just worried about not passing and want to be as prepared as I can be. With that being said is the person out there who was offering the book for sale. I would like to know how much you would like for it. Thanks.
Need help with Stedmans speller
My Stedmans keeps not loading or something. It was working fine when I quit work Friday night. Then yesterday it would not work. I finally did a system restore and it worked after that fine. Then today, same thing, it will not work.
Can someone help me out with any suggestions?
my stedmans lab book lists
it as alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, both the older edition, and also the new edition
The Stedmans Word of the Day calendar.

word97 and stedmans or cust dic
not sure if this is right place, but HELPPPPP......
when I am working in word97 or any word I guess, under tools do I have the Stedman dictionary checked or the custom dictionary checked. How do I know which should be done?
feeling frustrated
i purchased it directly at stedmans.com (nm)

Strange--I JUST got an email from Stedmans--sm
stating the 2007 version was out and offering a reduced rate until the end of Febr. that is so funny that it arrived just now when I was reading these posts.
wow. I just got a Stedmans book for 1.79 on Amazon.
Brand new! I never thought to look on there for a book!
Using Stedmans spellchecker with Meditech
Does anyone know if a Stedman's Medical/Pharmaceutical spellchecker works with Meditech program?
I currently use PCShorthand with it but mine does not recognize drug names. I was thinking of buying Stedman's Spellchecker but how does this one work with Meditech. I friend bought Stedmans and loves it so I was thinking of doing thet same but my friend is typing in Word and not Meditech.
Does anyone know where a person could get a tutorial on Meditech as Help Button on the Meditech Help section when I am working is kinda of confusion. This is what I get working as a remote IC person. Trying to learn this system a little better.
Thanks Pauline
Stedmans Ortho book shows
both on pagge 455, plantar flexion and then plantarflexion injury, plantarflexion-inversion test. Maybe it is supposed to be by context ????
Does anyone know how to convert the Stedmans word list to
If so please share how. Thank you!
EXText and Stedmans 2006 spellchecker?
Anybody know if they are compatible or if there are any glitches I should be aware of before I plunk down the dough? Thanks!
I wouldn't hold Stedmans accountable for
not being able to open zip files. Do you have a zip program on your computer? If so, just use it to unzip the files. WinZip can be downloaded for an initial free trial. When you unzip it, save the .exe file to the Stedmans folder, then click "run" if prompted. If not prompted to run, click your start button, click run, and browse for the Stedmans folder and select its .exe file to run. It should then begin to install and you should follow the prompts of questions it will ask you.
Always Dorlands' first and foremost. Stedmans is a poor second.

Emdat/Incribe with Word/Stedmans
I would like to know if anyone who types in this program is able to use the Microsoft Word option and Stedman's Spellcheck. That is, without copying and pasting.
Stedmans has it with NO hyphen; that's how I've been typing for years. NM
We were not 'allowed' to load anything to their system, inclg Stedmans
nm
Stedmans for word reference, ADI or Quick Look for drugs.
I also like Tessier's surgical word book by Saunders and I'm pretty sure I have a Vera Pyle or two around here a well.
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 went to desktop icon for both DRUG BOOK and STEDMANS. Clicked
How old are your drug book and stedman's? (I bought mine about 6 years ago now). I hate to not be able to use them because I have added so much to them through the years. ugh.
Stedmans Medical Dictionary or MD for the Health Prof and Nursing?
Which one do you prefer?
There is no standard and most of us are not
privy to that information.
There is no standard.
It will depend on how much experience you have and how well you are doing with the work. My first company kept me on QA for 6 weeks, although they typically kept new MTs on QA for the first 12. My second company kept me on QA for 2 days, and for my current company I sent 3 reports through QA and then was released.
Definitely not the standard. I would not
work anywhere where I had to pay to use their software. Keep looking, there are good jobs out there.
the pay seemed standard
BUT good luck getting on. I was hired, given a start date, and 3 weeks later finally quit because I had 3 different people asking for the exact same paperwork that had been sent.
Me too. It's always been the standard for a
reason, because it makes it easier to read. It's a crock & I don't plan to quit putting 2 spaces after a period.
Unfortunately, this is the standard.
If 4 cpl is the VR rate, then you are getting paid, but if they had stated a certain number of hours or days for training pay, then you should receive that amount specified as training pay. If they simply said you're paid for training, that could very well mean that you will be paid your training rate for your 1.5 hours of training. What company is it?
Need additional cardiac reference - have Stedmans - need something more detailed about heart caths,
nm
these tests are standard for this age and despite what sm
poster below said; they are usually done with routine pap smears and sometimes no mention is ever made from doc about what they are doing. fight ins company.
That's kind of standard, isn't it? I mean (SM)
every hospital and every MT company I've ever worked for, to be a full-time employee you had to account for 40 hours a week, either by working it, or taking PTO, unless you were covered under FMLA.
I think sometimes we expect even more flexibility working from home and forget the fact that working from home IS flexibility -- not having to go into the office, being in the comfort of our home (if we want our children or family around us, that is our option--not so in an office), etc.
The 40-hour expectation is very standard, in my experience. You have PTO to use for when you cannot make up your absence. My guess is they will offer more PTO with this new plan coming up.
Try not to panic or be upset. No one knows what the new plan will be. We will each have to decide if the new plan is what we need or not. If it isn't, thank goodness there are other companies to work for out there.
Please try to relax.
Wow. That's quite contrary to the standard.
Usually, 32 hours is part-time and 37 starts full-time.
You've been quite fortunate!
I HAVE to get to work now. I don't wanna. LOL I'd rather stay and play! LOL
