I, too, am vegetarian and yes not buying meat sure saves a lot of money.  Buying fruits and vegetables in season saves money also.  I also buy at the local 99 cent store.  The cat and dog food and cat litter are inexpensive there and also the canned goods.  The breads are still fresh, they have beverages, they even have wine.  The 99 cent store near me is as stocked as a grocery store and drug store.  We have a full service WalMart about 20 blocks away.  So I can do my grocery shopping, department store shopping, plus get my car worked on at the same time.

anymore?

Think of the $$$$$ they have just seen in profit reaped by not having to pay for the 1-800 lines used to get the dictation and modem it back in.

Will any employees see that benefit? 

Will they raise our rate?

No, like one person said, pretty soon we will get to be editors and if we don't want to be editors, we can get the scum out of the bottom of the barrel like transcribing a full diet of Dr. Kweporiuasnedriur 25 times a day.

By then I will be ready for the funny farm and MQ won't have to worry about me working, I will be on Disability due to being insane.

How exactly does it save daylight?  I recently moved from AZ which is one of the few places smart enough not to go along with that nonsense, and it's about the only thing I miss from AZ now that it's been californicated to death.  When DS first became national an AZ legislator summed it up well - "all we need in the summer is more daylight/heat". 

I have an external hard drive and want to save my data from my old computer to my new computer.  How exactly do i do that.

Problem is with some of the proprietary software created by some MTSOs, the normal dot still will not save even when you have the prompt, all you get is a message that normal dot is open elsewhere or some such nonsense, and then you are offered the opportunity to save normal.dot by another name, and even then it still won't save.

I posted earlier an autoclose macro that may solve this problem; however, it probably would be a good idea to also use an autoexit macro as well to cover all bases and I will post both here. 

If that does not work for you, I do have another work-around but it is a lot more complicated.  You can solve part of the problem by attaching and add-in your own templates, and save your macros and your autotext there instead of normal dot, but autocorrect is saved in normal dot, and you have to save your normal dot to save your autocorrect:

So try these macros;  cut and paste into your macro editor:

Sub AutoClose()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler:
If NormalTemplate.Saved = False Then NormalTemplate.Save
MSGBOX "Normal template is saved
    Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MSGBOX "Normal template is not saved
End Sub

Sub AutoExit()
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler:
If NormalTemplate.Saved = False Then NormalTemplate.Save
MSGBOX "Normal template is saved
    Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
MSGBOX "Normal template is not saved
End Sub

If everything is saving as it should, then you can just delete the line of code that has the msgbox so that word just closes without having to click okay. Write me if you need some help doing this.

Got my yesterday in the mail.  Thought that they changed their name.  And I thought it was personally addressed to me.  Don't know how they got my name and my business name as I do not belong to the organization.   Anyway gotta get my reservation in by December 20th or so.  

Hi,

 I was wondering if anyone out there who uses Escription can tell me if there is a way to save a document that is not yet completed?  Last night we had a planned power down to test the generator (we have one every month) and another MT and I were still in the middle of documents.  We just closed down figuring that it would do the autosave but it didn't save anything. My supervisor tells me it only does the save when the computer crashes or the power goes out. When we had Chartscript we could put the document on hold, but with Escription is it either upload it unfinished or lose it?  Is there any way to save an unfinshed report?

Thanks

when we work at home. This is *not* a benefit so we can be more comfortable. It's all about the $. They also have a wider labor poor to choose from. They do not have to set up training programs at the community college, hire a trainer, go through MTs in training who quit, with a wider labor pool. I have no idea how much working at home as an IC saves them over working on site and an employee. I'm sure its big $$$ though. Working as a nurse, cna, rt if you give up benefits they usually raise they pay a few dollers per HOUR. 

 Hosptial square footage is usually big $ and they can rent it out to a doctor's office paying rent if MTs are not there!

Many women *need* to work at home. We should not be taken advantage of because of it. We are saving them money, using our own computers, internet, keyboards, paying for our breaks, errands, and office furniture. They should give an incentive to work at home and an even bigger incentive to contract vs work as employee.

You should save it as a template (.dot) in the same directory that your other Word templates are located. The default directory would be something like this:

c:/document and settings/your name/application data/microsoft/templates

If you can't see the Application Data folder, go to the Control Panel and open the Folder Options file. Click on the View tab and make sure the button for Show hidden files and folders is selected.

Does anyone remember how to save autocorrects and macros to exchange from one computer to another, or one version of Word to another?

TIA for any/all help.

I keep hearing MTs talking about this book.  I guess I should get it.  Is there a downloadable version of this book so that I don't have to wait on it to get here?  Has it really helped you all improve your production?  Is it more than then just telling you how to make expansions with the ABCZ method? 

Thanks 

I first hit our local thrift store when my dear mom was in a nursing facility with Alzheimer's.  She'd just forget where she "folded and put her clothes away" or the laundry would lose some.  So, I was able to buy mom many beautiful blouses/tops, dresses for way too cheap.  Usually walked out of there with 5-6 complete outfits under $20.00.

She's gone now, but in her memory, I still do my shopping stints there, then haul it over to the nursing home for those residents who don't have family, it truly helps me more than it helps them.

To save your glossaries to a backup disk:

• Go to My Computer or Windows Explorer and go to the C-Drive, then the InstText folder, then the Glossary folder
  
• Right-click on the glossries you wish to save and select "Send to" and then select the destination drive. Your computer will automatically make a copy to the backup disk. If you do not have the "Send to" option, right-click ad select "Copy" and then paste them to the backup disk.

To put the glossaries on the new computer from the backup disk:

• Right-click on the glossaries on the backup disk and select "copy"
  
• Go to My Computer --> C-drive --> InstText --> Glossary. Anywhere in the glossary, right-click and select "Paste".
  
• They should now be listed in your glossary folder.

To add them to your glossary list:

• Right-click on the Active Glossary List and select "Open"
  
• Double-click on the glossary you wish to add to the glossary list
  
• When you are done opening all of the glossaries you wish to add, right-click on the Active Glossary List again and select "Save Active Glossary List"

Kind regards,

Kristen

A quick Google search turned up the link below.

buying if I already use lots of expanders?  I think I have almost overdone it in some ways.  I need to delete some obscure ones I made that are taking up letters I could use for something more critical.

Wondering if that book would help or if I have a good enough handle on the concept already.  ?  Does the book cover anything other than making expanders?

Thanks!
