well insurance makes it hard to leave

it makes sense to everyone w/o a hard head that refuses to let new info in.
You are backwards and gawd help those people you edit. Such a condescending know-it-all attitude. Looking forward for some great karma for you. Some pompous know-it-all to point out all your mistakes would be just perfect. Love it!
I've got my fingers crossed; makes it hard to type!nm

Here it is, some is hard to read.

Hard to believe what you read sometimes
We are in a recession right now, thanks to Bush! When we last had a democratic president, our wealth was bountiful. I had stocks that were booming- as soon as Bush came in they started dropping and I sold them. Bush also got us into a war for what? What good has it done besides the loss of young lifes? Say what you want, I fully anticipate your next president not being a republican. I am ready for the good times to flow.
It makes me sick to read this
Regardless, it is a human life in her. I am totally against abortion. She put herself in the situation and now she must deal with it. Many people who have had abortions regretted them in the future. Not saying that she will though. I am not sure what kind of person she actually is.
Another great option would be adoption. That would be my first choice if I were in this situation, and thank god I was smart enough not to put myself there!
Why start such a controversial topic?
She just cant read fast enough. It makes her sad :(
nm
Oh, that makes me sick. I wish I wouldn't have read
So don't read the posts. Why is that so hard to comprehend.
Do you gripe to your local newspaper that they run articles daily that you are not interested in? Do you call up your local TV station and complain that they run shows that you don't want to watch or run commercials you don't like? Do you write to the publisher of your favorite magazines complaining about articles you don't like?
Just ignore the posts, the articles or even the TV shows for crying out loud!!!
I always double-space. Single is too hard to read, and

Okay, if it makes you feel better... Read it at CNN, Commie News Network.

Format, Font, Choose Font, Style Size & Color
.
Make sure you find out what font and font size
.
Format, Font, pick the font you want,
click the Default button. It will ask if you want to change...say yes.
Ask what font, font size and margins are
Then you can figure out how many characters would be in a complete line of text. I am not sure if I am explaining this very well. :-( I worked for one place that had a small font size and small margins. So it did not work out for me as each line averaged closer to 70 characters, and there were not many lines that had only one or two words on them because of the set up.
If it rains hard, the wind blows hard and there are trees
nearby, it snows heavily it will mess up the signal. The speed is not constant, sometimes as slow as dial-up, but at least still connected. Many companies will not allow satellite.
So, you think it is okay for hard-working MTs to earn 7-8 cpl for their hard work?? nm

In 12 years of MT'ing I've never re-read an entire chart. Edit/read as I type. nm

Yes, I read your post, and I just re-read it, and I've copied and pasted for you in case
you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:
My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.
****
How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream. I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!
Font
only when using a method other than character count, such as gross lines or straight lines. Otherwise, size makes no difference (in transcription . . . LOL)
Font
Font has nothing to do with line count.
font changes
try selecting all text in the template, then while it is all highlighted change your font to what you want- then re-save template and that should do it
font changes
the easiest and surest way to make sure you are changing the entire template is to do go through edit and select all- this will pick up hidden formatting as well
Do you like the larger font?
/
Yes like the larger font. Thanks.
nn
yes! like the large font

LOVE the new font...THANK YOU!
It's so much easier on middle-aged eyes.
Guess I am, too. I don't like the big font at all. nm
tiny font
Something is wrong here. It sounds like this board shows up in huge font on YOUR end, but it is about an 8 font on my computer. The main board, job seeker's board, and compary board show up tiny for me, but the other boards look about 12-14 font, which is MUCH better!
font size
When paid by cpl, does it affect your line count if you type in a size 10 or size 12 font?
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 does matter
if you are on a gross line account, like me, font does matter. I am "required" to use a 12 point font and no more or less, and it does make a difference in the line count...but then again, gross line ends up paying more than 65 character lines!
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. 
I think you would specify the font or renegotiate

change font
I have several accounts that use different fonts, one Arial 10, one Times Roman and one Univers and when I do my invoicing I just highlight and change the entire document to Courier 12. All the docs are aware that my cpl that I quoted was based on using the font Courier 12. I have never in 18 years been questioned or challenged on an invoce or line count. Easy enough to do. Takes 2 seconds to do it. Patti
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.
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 question
When I hold down the control key and scroll the mouse wheel to enlarge the font in EXText, does it change the way the document is seen once it's sent or is the change only on my desktop. Sorry but I'm very technically challenged.
regarding smaller font
I will type in any size font that they want, use what ever margins that they want but when I do my line count I change the document back to Courier 12 and use my usual margins. I tell them up front that my charge per line is on Courier 12 with 1" margins on sides. No one has every questioned me for this. They can have as many characters they want on a line in whatever font that they want but not for my line count. Saves me on my sticky paper and so I don't care. But have been doing this for years and am very upfront about what my definition of a line is and yes I do gross lines.
Does anyone know how to change font
When I read web pages everywhere, the font is huge and I do not know how I ended up with it this way? Does anyone know how I change it? I have AOL.
Thanks!
font size
I think you just go under view and change the text size to whatever you want it to be.
FONT QUESTION
Do most services use a Times New Roman 12 font? I was told by the service I might be signing on with that I could not use Courier New 12. I use this font size due to my eyesight.
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.
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.
The font has nothing to do with the length
of a line, that is set by the margins. A 65-character count line is a line, whether the line itself has 55 characters or 85 characters. It takes 65 to make a line.
Can you change the font??
I've been typing for this doctor for about ten years. He recently changed the email address where I sent my finished work, and is having some new girls put the notes in the chart. They just asked me if I could switch my font. I looked at a file, and in switching the font, I lost 300 lines. How would you handle this? My husband told me to tell them I'll send it and they can put it in whatever font the want it in. I know that may change the formatting somewhat and make it not look right. What the heck?!
Yes, a larger font would be more comfortable. Thx! nm
,
Sorry. Got cut off. Nothing I do can increase the font size.

change your font by going to "view"...
then "text size" and change the text size to larger. (I think)
Can't please everyone although we try. The majority like the larger font.
I don't know why your message font is so small but it's too
