I don't know exactly how to do it, but I think the file is called Web Correct.  Here is a website for some folks who can help!  They are wonderful with technical questions like this:

Hope this helps!

Yep. I had 2 scares within 2 weeks of each other. Found blood on the tissue very similar to when I start my period (I was 8 weeks and 10 week both times it happened). Hubby rushed me to the ER and after blood tests and ultrasounds I checked out OK. I'm now almost 18 weeks along with baby #3

I also had this with my son (second pregnancy) about 7 years ago. I happened almost every week. I carried him to term with no additional complications. And, with both of these pregnancies the bleeding ceased once I was out of the first trimester.

Hang in there.

You're going to need to be in "heading" when you number your pages (sure you already know that).  When you are in your heading, a toolbar should pop up called "Header and Footer."  This toolbar has an icon on it that looks like a piece of paper with a # on it.  That is what you use to insert the page #.  It should number consecutive pages 1, 2, 3, etc., unless you manually go in and create a new section (Insert Page Break, Section Break Type--Next Page).  If you inserted that type of break, a new section would be started at 1, 2, 3, with new headings if you wanted them. 

One thing to look out for--when you are in your "heading" section, a box is visible around your header with a broken line around it.  Sometimes it will say "Same as Previous."  That means, even though this might be a new section, you are telling the document to keep the header information from the previous section--which will really mess up your pagination!  To get rid of that, roll your mouse over the "Header and Footer" toolbar until you see the icon "Same as Previous."  Make sure it isn't highlighted.

Hope this helps and isn't too confusing for you.  Good luck!

The two-space thing was for typesetters and typewriters. With today's proportional fonts, it is no longer necessary, and in fact leaves a "river of white" through a document. <--- this is from memory. I wonder if the BOS says so?

Me 'n' my big mouth. I can't document it without leaving this website and going to google. :)

5. What do you think are the most important skills a medical Transcriptionist should have? Medical terminology, grammar, ability to work alone, discipline, etc.
6. Did some skills come naturally to you, while others required more practice? yes, typing was easy, learning ESL doctors was not.

I also considered going to Sinclair for my medical transcription career but decided to train from home.  I was told by the hospital where I was working that Sinclair had a great program.  Good luck!! If this is something you think you will like, don't let anyone bring you down.  You either love it or hate it and I just happen to love it.

but I haven't used WPerfect since DOS.  I found this on-line though:  (HERE'S THE URL:  http://mcobit.business.nd.edu/kb/kb.cfm?Action=NEWQuestion&gid=1177

   For a WordPerfect Document:

There are a couple of ways to adjust playback speed.

1. Right-click on the Windows Media Player 10 title bar, choosing "Play" - "Play Speed" and selecting "Fast", "Normal", or "Slow".

Or, for more intricate adjustments:

1. Click the "Now Playing" tab.

2. Right-click on the Windows Media Player 10 title bar, choosing "View" - "Enhancements" - "Play Speed Settings".

3. A panel should appear at the bottom of the "Now Playing" tab.

- Click "Slow", "Normal", or "Fast" for basic play speed settings.

- Move the slider to the left to slow the playback; moving the slider to the right speeds up playback. For reference:

"Slow" speed is 0.5
"Normal" speed is 1.0
"Fast" speed is 1.4

If you're having trouble moving the slider, uncheck "Snap slider to common speeds" to allow speed changes across the slider bar. Note that some files may not correctly play at speeds less than 0.5.

Also, is it a large teaching hospital? If so you have to consider there will be A LOT of different residents dictating, usually a lot of ESLs at teaching hospitals, and the residents rotate out and new ones rotate in every summer. So you can't expect to get the same dictators and build up your macros because the dictators change all the time.

I would say 9 cpl would be a pretty good offer for a small to medium community hospital where you will be doing the same dictators on a daily basis.  But for bigger, urban or teaching hospitals I would want at least 12 to 15 cpl. 

They called it a 'CryptoCard' and it was about the size of a credit card.  You needed it to log onto their system--whatever number was displayed was the log-in number you were to use at that time.  It always changed....security precautions.  I never paid for it, but had to return it when the company lost that account....dumb bastids...was a great account.

I have a physician list and I have a website to look for other doctors. But how can they expect me to know how to spell patients' names? They can't. I have a disclaimer at the top of my log sheet that says common or phonetic spellings will be used where patient name spellings are not provided.

That was the thing that held me up when I worked "live" from home for a hospital. All that diddling around finding out whether it was "Kathy" or "Cathy"  -- I don't do that any longer and you're right, it makes a HUGE difference.
