A macro can copy, switch to another document, paste, and
switch you back to your original document (or remain in the new document). Keyboard shortcuts can highlight lines or paragraphs to copy and open a new blank document. You don't really give enough info on exactly what you are doing to offer more help.
can you copy and paste?

Wow - it is interesting. You know, there is actually an organization called The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in charge of standardizing all this stuff up-and-coming.
Did you read the part about "MT changing more in the next few years than it has in the last 100"
This is it, right at this site.
It is documentation that the doctor or nurse, or healthcare provider carries and enters at the time of service...
It even automatically codes for billing, etc.
Rather than 'free text' of a doctor dictating, it is standardized text where the person enters the info...
so much to it, and it is exciting, just wished we fit in somewhere...
copy & paste
long, drawn out process which will take tons of MW space, but it can be done.
You can just copy and paste.
Yes it will conform. Also Word allows you to use your own spellcheck. May be a bit cumbersome at first, but should work better than typing directly in Meditech. It lags a lot. 
copy and paste
The only way I know is to copy and paste.
Thank you! Worked like a charm. sm
copy and paste into your address bar. x

Can you do copy and paste rather than writing
x
Yes. Hit apply and either copy and paste, or
attach resume; however, some companies will not allow attachments.
A cover letter is always a good idea; just keep it short and to the point.
Happy Job Hunting.
How to copy & paste into FTP site?
I can't seem to figure it out?
The same way you copy/paste in all versions.
Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl + V to paste.
COPY AND PASTE, IS THERE AN EASIER WAY?
The doctors I transcribe for are specialists so I do a full consultation but the doctors only want part of the consultation sent to the referring doctor so I copy and paste part of the dictation to a letter. This very easy, but very time consuming. Is there an easier way than to copy and paste for every letter. I am working in Word.
Copy & Paste in EditScript
Alice,
Do you need to upload the job first?
Can't you just go to the Search window and from the Search window use these functions again normally?

Well how simple! Worked like a charm. Thank you!!!!!

you can copy and paste from word to meditech...
It is alt V instead of ctrl V. It is VERY slow doing it that way though.
Here is the code. Just copy and paste it into your shorthand. (sm)
{@KEY BkSp}-year-old
I use "yo" for that. Also have "mo" for month-old since I do pediatrics.
The @KEY specifies ShortHand to make that keystroke within the code. It basically tells Shorthand to do a backspace after you use that shortcut.
Another example is bold.
{@KEY Ctrl+B}{@NOSPACE}
My shortcut for bold is "bo" and then I just continue typing. That way I don't lose my rhythm.
Anyone who needs a laugh, copy and paste link inside. sm

Please provide links, not copy/paste from other sites. NM

also possible copy/paste of document saved as "RTF" or "TXT" (sm)
usually works just fine ... I don't trust Word not to have eliminated "save to WP6" as an option since they have achieved near GLOBAL DOMINATION. (on my tool bar that starts with FILE, and end with HELP -- under HELP, there is WP help -- but it's not installed -- try that first-- maybe you have it)
I have my copy of Word set with save to RTF as the default (I hate Word) and have copied from that into both Bayscribe and Meditech without difficulty while copy/pasting WORD documents resulted in garbage
The tricky bits, irrc, had to do with tabs, indents bolding etc. -- (but in my case I was copying into proprietary software which didn't support those commands) --- so you will want to do a test run. I'd try RTF first -- hope you have "print preview" or a friend in the office -- good luck -- i
Let me get this straight. It is a copyright violation punishable if you copy and paste an article
but it is not a copyright violation if you copy and paste the link to the article? What the h*ll is the big deal?
if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V

You can use Shorthand to make a Macro, then bring the macro up in WP. nm

That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.
Then you can paste it in a document.
It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.
It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.
How do you copy your SH file to text - do you copy each dictionary separately? nm

He will be turning on the charm 100%. Don't listen to it. sm
And you've never tried God as an option before? Well, if you wish, tell him to get some God on his own while you and your children are safe someplace else.
You're stoked right now, which is great, but don't let it fizzle out with husband's pleas and lack of abuse in the meantime. It WILL happen again if you stay. Anybody who knows anything about abuse will tell you that. The center you contacted will tell you that, too. Listen to the experts.
Bravo on actually contacting your parents and Swan. However, you said they can hide you out if you actually need to go. Hello? You actually need to go. Now. You were just hit 2 weeks ago. You're feeling in control and all, but it WILL happen again. Yes, you are in danger. Your husband is scared right now. He senses the loss of control. However, this is a cycle. When you stay, and things get a bit more distant, they'll resume some sort of normalcy. It'll build up, and he'll blow. What will happen next? You know you've got someone who has abused you as recently as 2 WEEKS ago, and you say you're not in danger and you're willing to let your CHILDREN LIVE under the same roof as someone who WILL eventually blow again, and maybe hurt them next time?
It's not just about being hid out when (not if) things get ugly again. You need to work toward a permanent plan, not just a crisis plan. There are other places besides this one you've called, ones who can give you some counseling and advice on how to leave and make it on your own with your children.
I wish you would listen and leave, but I have a feeling you're going to wait til next time. Do you know it takes women an average of SEVEN times leaving their abusive spouses before they finally leave for good? How many times will you let it take you? And what will be the cost to you and your children before you finally "get it?"
I use Hask serum - works like a charm. I have tried many others
and they leave your hair feeling yuk, heavy and gross. Hask serum leaves my hair straight, no frizz, light and airy and feels smooth and silky.
I have natural curly-wavey hair and on top of that it is foiled. So, I have a double whammy! Hask serum really works wonders.
I also use Aveda deep penetrating conditioner 2x a week. Love that product also.
Good luck!
There's something about George. Easy charm and he doesn't try tooo hard
regarding his looks or dress. He is a guy's guy.
I completely disagree. Taylor is very marketable. He has charm, personality and CAN SING!

Re companion macro. Do you know there is already a macro
in Word that will create a document with all entries from both the normal.dot and the .acl file? The normal.dot only stores the formatted entries.
I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
This is my method
Listen up, Bozo! Don't you have stains you need removed?
Oh that's right, your hemorrhoids bled all over your carpet and now you are mad at us. We didn't do it, your hemorrhoids did!
Get a grip and go stop your bleeding hemorrhoids, and for pitty sakes, clean up your chair - it's full of blood!
It all depends on what method your
potential clients use. If you solicit someone that still uses tapes you need to be sure you have the equipment for that, etc. I don't know if maybe someone has a sample of a solicitation letter to give you an idea of what to send out to potential clients.
Your method of proofreading? -- SM
I feel like I'm pretty slow on my lph because I might spend too much time proofing. Sometimes I proof each section before starting the next. Sometimes I just do the whole report and then go back and proofread in one shot.
Is there a best way? I don't dare skip proofing because about once per report I do find that I left out a word or did something similar, and I wouldn't want it to go through like that...so I know I need to invest the time.
What are your tips to speed up???
My method, nothing special...sm
I like to look at the previous line I typed as I go, just to make sure. At the end of the report, I go up to the top of the report, glossing over to catch anything else that might not have caught my eye the first time. I feel better about it when I send it off. My expansions have gotten me in trouble before so want to make sure I don't see anything strange. I think that's what makes us specialists, not just typists:-)
ooh this is fun... my method for acronyms sm
I'm jumping in; hope you don't mind :-)
cad = CAD
cadd = coronary artery disease
and so forth.
However, I use Instant Text, so I'm phasing the following in...
cad (not activated through Instant Text) = CAD (in Word Autocorrect)
cad (in Instant Text) = coronary artery disease
I like both ways.
But I'm an efficiency junkie and probably spend so much time trying to BE efficient that I may very well get less work done LOL.
VBC - my new typing method
After a 27.5-minute ESL dictation that took me an hour to type and netted me $12, I'm going to embrace the new visible black character counting method by redefining "verbatim." Here's a transcript the way it will look in the future ....
"... I mean, no go back, delete that, okay and the admitting diagnosis was uh ... sepsis, number 2, ... no, number 1, no that is number 2 ... change in mental status. (flip pages flip pages flip pages ... put phone down) Number 4 ... diabetes. Long pause (... the nurses are talking about a baby shower). Go back up to the labs and insert a chest x-ray with left lower lobe infiltrate ... no, it's normal. Now, go back down ..."
Can't wait for that next check! 
Why do you call that a new method?
After all the dictionary definition of verbatim is "word for word" and we should all take that seriously. If they want verbatim we should give it to them, and see how long that demand continues.
Or it may be abz method. Really tired. Maybe

Geez. It's a method to be more accountable for
a minimum amount of work.
There is a method to their so-called madness JMO
Regarding send back to pool: It's a Band-Aid for now. MTs who can't cut it ESL or otherwise do not have a future with MQ for much longer. I posted this below, but with the progression of VR and MTs who can and will do the hard guys, they might not need the cherrypickers eventually (excluding VR, of course!).
Regarding paying more for ESLs with blank limits: Good ESL MTs most likely are being compensated and the blanks they leave are probably very justified. Therefore, it makes financial and TAT sense that the good MTs do difficult dictators (less QA time) and good dictators go to VR/MEs. So what we are left with is MTs who can do anything and VR MEs (same pool).
Cherrypickers have no future in this company. The old-fashioned MT may not either, but we will be around at least a little longer than they will. :-)
Method of obtaining accounts
Hi all...I currently have a couple accounts of my own but I'm looking for maybe two or three more. I'm wondering what the best method is to go about finding them.
In the past I have tried just driving around to different clinics and walking in to talk with the staff, but the person at the front always seemed annoyed and not very receptive. I've also tried calling clinics out of the phone book, but they never want to put you on to the office manager and they usually just say they don't need any transcription. Once I also tried doing a mailing and I sent out about 100 letters with business cards to offices around town. I only got one reply back and that account didn't work out for me. I'm wondering if the office managers even GET the letters or if they just throw them in the trash without reading them thinking it's junk mail.
So...for you all with your own accounts....how do you go about getting them? What have you found is the best approach? Thanks in advance 
May be the line counting method.
The company I worked for had one client where the MT reported that many lines a day. The company sent the MT inhouse for that department, and it was the way the client counted the lines. This girl made a killing for as long as it lasted.
Easiest digital method
Hello everyone
I currently have one of my own accounts with 2 physicians. They use digital hand-held recorders and we email files back and forth, encrypted of course. Anyway, is there an easier way for their office staff? Something where the doctor could talk right into the computer and it would be sent to me without using the office staff? I am trying to take some of the burden off of them.
Thanks.

Meditech search method help.
Can anyone refresh my memory on how to search by DOB in Meditech. Preferably in RAD module, but I know it can be done in PCI. For instance, you search by Unit # (i.e. U00012345), account # (i.e. A00012456) and DOB is something like D/ or D mmddyy or mmddyyyy or mm/dd/yy.
I need to know what goes in the front "D" and the mmddyy layout. I don't have access to PCI on this account so I can't go in and check. TIA
Google ABCZ method.

Care to share your method and/or company?
Sounds like you might be in Radiology. Appreciate.
cheater method for longer smartwords sm
I used ST for 10 years (recently moved to Instant Text and am much happier).
I had issues with SmartBlocks and fonts; I ended up not using the SmartBlocks too much. Besides, they don't import into another Expander (should you ever need to switch) the way the SmartWords/Phrases do.
So, what I used to do was this. If I had a long paragraph I wanted to insert a SmartBlock for, I'd divide it up into however many SmartPhrases it took and would just name them in sequence.
Far and away I preferred to use Word's AutoText, but if you aren't working in Word, you can't do this ;-)
But, regardless, this is why I moved to Instant Text. Not a problem anymore.
Line Count Method Question
Can anyone help me compare two offers that I have? One is 9.5 cents a line for a 65 character line including spaces and the other is 7.5 cents a gross line. I am trying to figure out which would be better. Thank you very much.
Use a secure method of transferring files.
Encrypted email for delivery of completed documents works, but voice files may be too large for that method. A secure FTP site, either your own or through a commerical provider such as mydoconline.com or ftptogo.com, would work for both documents and voice files. You may need an FTP program, but there are lots of free ones out there, like filezilla.com, which is what I use.
