Tabbing between open windows
Posted By: Anna on 2006-12-16
In Reply to:
Lately I have noticed that when I use shift + tab to go from one application to another, the tool bar at the bottom of the screen will highlight new window that I am trying to go to, but that window does not open. The current window that I am in will "gray out." I then have to minimize all applications before I can get to the application I want. I am working in IE6. The applications I have open are the internet, Instant Text, Word, and Windows Media Player. Sometimes I might also have Stedman's Word book open as well. I also work in Bayscribe so I have the Bayscribe Player open as well. Does anyone know how I can fix this so I an easily alternate between each window? This is getting annoying.
Additionally, has anyone tried out IE7 yet? I ran into a few issues with with it and Bayscribe and IT. Can anyone say they like it or are you experiencing problems with it too?
Thanks!!

Having multiple windows open
I mostly use online resources (rather than books) but find that it takes time to (alt+tab) through all the windows when I have a lot of open. ... When I have a lot open, I often accidentally tab right past the one I want (as I am trying to hurry) and go round and round a couple times.
Does anyone know of any other way to utilize the Internet in a more efficient way while working?
Also, I often end up with my sound freezing, etc. which I think is because I don't have enough RAM for everything I am trying to do. Any info on this?
Thanks so much!! 
maybe youhave too many windows or programs open or minimized?..nm

Gotta open windows, spray fabrics with Fabreze, and boil up some orange peels and spices.

You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it.
Are you working in DOS or Windows? In Windows, it's Kilobytes.

Fax in Windows XP
Hello,
There is a place in XP where you can send a fax, go to Start, All Programs, Accessories, Communications, Fax, there is a section there that says "Send a Fax" and it walks you through.
Hope this helps!!
WP 5.1 or WP for Windows
if you are using windows xp..sm
up on the toolbar, there is an icon that shows the *zoom*. if you want to change the document to 100 percent, click on the icon, choose 100 percent, and save the document that way. if you want to use a template that is not at 100 percent..open the template, change the zoom to 100 percent, click to close and it will ask if you want to save changes. say yes. next time you open the template, it will be at 100 percent. hope this helps.
Do you have Windows XP?
What happens when you click on "My Documents"? Does it say that it is not accessible?
You might try creating a new folder to save your documents in. Try creating it directly on the C drive, so you bypass Documents and Settings.
Otherwise...I don't know what to suggest.  Good luck! Let us know if you find out what went wrong.
If you have Windows XP, there is....(sm)
Remote Desktop already in your system, you just have to access it. See link below. I've never used this myself, but I would imagine your new MTSO would have to give you more info, for you to log onto your server, ISP, or other. I'm not a real technie person, so can't really help further. Hopefully someone else will have more hands on experience for you.
(Personally, don't understand why the MTSO would not give you all the information you need to be able to work for them, and provide technical support, but that's just me, I guess....)
Good luck!

No, I use Windows XP.
It's really weird. It was the same expresss scribe I had last year. It worked fine. Now it doesn't work. I did uninstall it then download the newer version. So, I have been online looking for an older version. No luck yet, however.
But thanks for trying to help. I really appreciate everyone for trying to help me out with this.:)
do you do windows?
the ones on houses? and not the computer!
Windows XP sm
Dell stopped selling computers with XP on 6/30 this year. I called them and asked them if I could get a computer with XP, and they told me no.
I think it's a shame they're trying to make people purchase something they don't want. I'll probably go with Tiger Direct.
Is this for DOS or Windows?
Sounds like DOS version if it's on a disk. Not sure if one for Windows came on disk. If it's for Windows do you have the right version of Word to use it with? If it's for DOS do you have wp51 installed? Are you using it from the RUN function? Other than that maybe your disk might be corrupted.
Thank you but I have Windows XP
Do you know of a "fix" for this ?

Anyone using or have used MedriteXL for Windows not DOS?
Is it MT-friendly and productive. Does it count headers, footers, etc., or would that be company-controlled. Can you use ShortHand abbreviation Expander with it?

windows vista
I have seen a lot about Vista not working with several programs, etc. Has anyone found a fix for this, or is it better to just stay with XP and pray it does not crash. I think I may use the "contact us" on the windows site to let them know our problem, I mean we are a major user of their product. What are our alternatives? Any opinions?
Windows Vista
I need to get a new computer, having decided I need one dedicated solely to work, without my 13-year-old's sites and fun and games. But I'm wondering how the new thing, Windows Vista, is going to affect different programs and platforms. All the job ads I see where you use your own computer specify Windows XP. And I don't really want a buggy new system. Amybody facing this?
Has anybody tried the new Windows Vista...sm
If so does it work well with the voice file/foot pedals we use for transcription.
Thanks

The new Macs can use both Windows and OS X
The new macs allow you to install both Windows and OS X. So basically you get the best of both words. They call it a dual boot. I use it and it actually seems faster on my mac then it did on my pc. I hope this helps

a new windows software?
has anyone else heard about there being a new windows version that will be available to replace windows XP since a lot of people are dissatisfied with XP? A friend of mine told me this as she had heard that much but she did not know all of the details. TIA!
Windows VISTA
How do you find working with Windows Vista? Bytescribe tells me that I can use it with Vista, but I've been told otherwise by other MTs. It's complicating the purchase of a new computer!! I'd like any input I can get.
Short Cut for Windows
Does anyone know if the word list from Short Cut for Windows is transferable to Shorthand? Thanks in advance.
32 days until Spring!!!
Yes, you can do this from Windows Explorer. sm
Find the ShortHand folder on the main drive. Look for your dictionary names ending with the spf extension. You can copy those to a CD or flash drive or email them to yourself.
WordPerfect for DOS or Windows?
Either way, you'd have to write a macro or something that would find the next instance of what your jump marker might be, and go there.
Use Windows Explorer. Are you using
WinXP? Click the setup.exe file.
Help with WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows
Long story short, I do dictation at a hospital where we use WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows. I am going to be doing dictation at home and then pasting the file in WordPercfect at the hospital. I was looking for a way to convert files from MS Word into to WP, but wasn't successful in that so now I'm trying to find a copy of WP 6.1 and am not having any luck. Does someone know where I might could download this as I need it ASAP or can you use another version of WP with 6.1? Thanks in advance.

Help! I have Word Perfect 10 with Windows XP.
I've been away from transcription for just over a year (15 years experience though) and need to come back to work. The last company I worked for had their own software (Medware). Now I notice that most companies (especially for IC) want Word 2000. Is it necessary for me to buy Word (EXPENSIVE!!!) or is there any way I can adapt my WP for less money? Any suggestions or advice would be so, so appreciated!! Thanks in advance.
It works in any Windows environment, but to be sure you might want
to download the demo and check it first. See the link below.
They also recommend ShortCut for Windows. nm
