Smartype only works in specific Word versions.
You want an Expander that works in all programs and a lot of platforms, such as Instant Text or Shorthand.

You don't need to close Word after checking the auto numbering option. It works right away. nm

Yes, there are different versions...

The version that I worked on had access to other reports in the system, which was nice. What I did was type in MS Word then paste into Meditech via Shorthand, just don't tell the company that you're doing that. Otherwise, if I had to type directly into Meditech, I wouldn't have made any money. So, like any platform, there are good and bad aspects to it, but it really depends on which version.

Buy the CD versions. My books have been...
...gathering dust ever since I invested in those.

There could be different versions of the same program that are not

Seems to be the same to me as I've used several versions, too. nm

MS Word versions
Well found out that with the update, it DOES work, instead of doing "typical install' you can do a custom install and tell the update to keep the original version of Word, which it does and will also import your Stedman's Quick Look, etc.

Even different versions of Word count the same, so it's not that either. nm

Does anyone know if the newer versions of Escription sm
are compatible with Woord 2007? The requirements I received some time ago stated that Word 2007 was not compatible. Wondered if they had upgraded yet. TIA

I have older versions saved.

If this poster (or anyone else) needs an earlier version, I have setup files for both 4.15 and 4.02 available. Just shoot off an email.

A lesson I learned a long time ago--always have a backup plan.Whenever I download a new program and after setting it up on my computer, I save the original set-up file in a folder called, amazingly enough, Downloads. Then, when a newer version is released, I also save it (usually with the version number as part of the name) in the same folder. That way, if anything goes wrong with the update, I have the old setup files to fall back on.

The same way you copy/paste in all versions.
Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl + V to paste.

I have a lower versions but I find
that when it stops expanding, somehow (I know I didn't do it) the autoreplace box got unchecked. When I check it back, it works again. Hope this helps.

You aren't working in both versions.
That's why Word is working okay for you. If you want to work in both versions then the oldest one has to be installed first so the registry will know how to handle both.

Does Flashtype work in all Meditech versions?

Sharing with older versions of Word.
There are some problems with sharing files with older versions of Word. Although there are ways to get around it, it sounds as if it might be a bit annoying. I am thinking about upgrading, and this came up in my research.

Two versions of Word on the same computer will only work
correctly if the oldest version is installed *first*.

There are updated macros in all versions of Word
except 2007. The macro for 2000 is called macros9.dot and can be downloaded from the Microsoft site. The AutoCorrect Utility in 2002 & 2003 is in the support.dot template that is included with Word. You can go to this site to get the macro for 2007:

http://jay-freedman.info/

Or you can simply locate your .acl file and back that up. It's easy to find if you add an entry and then do a search for it by the date modified. Just make sure you are searching hidden files and folders.

Depends on the versions of Word and WordPerfect. sm
Some WP versions can read Word .doc files, some don't. Some versions of WP will not accept copy/paste from Word. The advice to save the Word document as an .rtf file may be your only choice.

The home/student versions are not licensed to be used for
commercial purposes, i.e., in a work environment. There is no difference whatsoever in the programs. Word 2007 can be saved down to earlier versions so, yes, you can get a job using that version if you are not working in a Word-based platform that requires a specific version.

The Microsoft site has many free tutorials that you should look into.

What version of Word? That can't be set in newer versions. I had to do a macro --sm
I hope this link works for you. It shows how to make the macro. I use alt + semicolon for it because it seemed those would be a convenient shortcut to use. H

Here's the link (you'll probably have to copy and paste it):

No, but with an expander you can just set your expansions to the approved versions for that account.

Upgrade to Word 2007 vs older versions
I just bought a new PC with Vista operating system. Now I must buy Word to install. I looked at the differences between Word 2007 and the older versions on the Microsoft website and it seems that there is a difference in the way Word 2007 is saved compared to the older versions - you have to download a "patch" to be able to "read" older version Word files and for my clinic to be able to "read" my Word 2007 they will have to download a "patch" as well to enable their PC to open this document. I need some advice if this is a good idea or if I should just stick with an older version of Word. I have a copy of about 3 years old that I have not used and can load on my system. I would like to upgrade to the latest version as I know in a year or two the doctor's office would have changed but am wondering if the new version is a pain to work with or a pleasure. Anybody out there that can tell me the pros and cons between upgrading to the latest or just sticking to the old and familiar. I am also not sure if the doctor's office will download the patch and how accomodating they will be...

if they're legit, why are older versions still for sale (sm)
If you go to the real Stedman's website, you'll see that even older versions are still being sold - they're not being given away by Stedman's.

At the very least these are bootleg copies that you're not supposed to have unless you paid for them and that means they're not legit in any way.

Difference in Word 2007 from older versions

I have a trial version of Word 2007 on my computer, and I really like its layout. It's not a fully functional version, so I can only try it out so much. Has anyone made the switch from the older versions of Word and liked it better? Has it improved your productivity in any way? Any problems with it? All feedback appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks!

See link inside for versions of Office that are supported on Vista

nothing is free! There are 3 versions of varying cost, depending on your level of need.

Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.

RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

It's about as close as you can come without
a commitment to pregnancy and job! Hahahaha

your not looking close enough,
stealing from you!!!

You really should close some of them. sm

Every card you have is more potential debt. This may not matter to you now, but when you try to get a car loan, or a mortgage, or even a regular bank loan, it will matter then. There's absolutely no reason to keep multiple card accounts open, especially if you have absolutely no intention of using them. Keep 1 or 2 open, use them regularly, and pay them off promptly. That is the best way to use them to your advantage.

I don't think so...but close enough...sm
the ergonomics involved with a laptop---mmm... you would have to be real careful if you were actually putting in quite a few hours a day. The keyboards are SO small! And remember ergonomics includes angle of arms, a proper chair height, etc. I don't think you can just plop it anywhere on the deck and do that for 6 hours a day...

Too Close
I'm really disappointed that Elliott left. Let's hope that Elliott fans turn to Taylor. I couldn't believe how close the numbers were. The turn outs that they all had when they went home were incredible, especially Elliott's. I think he'll go far.

Since you are so close
to your due date, I would think long and hard about it. That leave with pay would be very nice.

I don't think it would be very difficult for you to find other at-home positions at a better time, and maybe even the place offering you one now would be have something a little later. (They might not act like it now when trying to get you to commit to something though.)

I'm close by
I think you and I have passed a couple of private e-mails today? I'm about 30 miles from you. Yes, it is outrageous. I have lived here my whole life, and since so many retirees are coming in, my town is impossible to buy in! Well, for my income, that is. I agree, even now without working in MT I would never make it. I left an office job making $300 every two weeks 8 years ago to do this...Best move of my life. As for the future, who knows, but for now, I am really thankful for this profession.

I have never gotten close to that - sm
But the majority of my work is specialty clinic notes and creating a lot of templates and normals for these docs is almost impossible because each patient is so different. I can make almost twice as much in the same amount of time doing OPs and DSs than clinic notes! But I do make way over minimum wage.

How close to 18 is she?
Was your doctor talking to her about the wisdom of getting vaccinated when she reaches 18? She will be able to make her own healthcare decisions then--she doesn't have to wait until 21. In some states, decisions about Gardasil might be available to minors at an earlier age. He undoubtedly feels an obligation to inform her of her rights at that point--it would be wrong of him not to.

Fearing infertility from back x-rays is unfortunate. Do you really believe doctors are exposing all those people having x-rays to the horrible fate of infertility? That wouldn't make sense. If you can't manage to look up whether back x-rays cause infertility, how are you managing to find out about all these alleged deaths and illnesses from Gardasil? Are you reading reputable medical information or stuff cranked out by uninformed, anti-medical crazies?

The fact that YOU had cervical cancer is no reason to expect that your daughter should accept having it, too. This is a preventable and still deadly disease.

Also, if you had to leave the room for "the rest of the exam," it sounds like a gynecologic exam. Was that because your daughter is sexually active? If so, that clearly explains why your doctor was informing her of her choices. She needs to be vaccinated BEFORE she is exposed to the virus.

I moved very close to but not on ...
Makemoney Avenue.

Considering the taxes I pay, I think I should have bought the one on that street.

If you live close enough (sm)
and can afford to quit your job, go ahead. Once you are signed, you are expected to show up for auditions when they tell you to. You might go to 100s of them before being chosen for one and they usually last all day.

Erie. RU close?
.

They are extremely close.
From what I know of both companies, oddly enough it is MQ catching up to changing its operations to par with Spheris with the new Rewards Plan.

However, while Spheris has already had their compensation/benefits package settled for a while, they seem to be aggressively pursuing purchasing other companies and increasing their offshore entities.

MQ seems to be focusing on it's US clientele.

MQ has ASR and if Spheris has it, I haven't heard of it yet. I would imagine ASR came in with a recent purchase if Spheris has much in the way of it right now.

You are welcome.

Well, I actually pay close to $700 a month..
for health insurance, so wouldn't affect me much. The company will still be based in Houston though. They just have another location in Florida. The gas sounds promising. I was wondering how much for food. How much for bread, milk, etc. Just to get an idea. So far, it just sounds like the homes are what is real expensive there. The gas is comparible to Houston. How much do you pay for home insurance per year? In Texas, the ratio is usually something in the range of you buy a house for $140,000, your monthly bill would be around 1,400 for everything, taxes included. The homes here going for around $130,000-$160,000 look comparable to the homes ranging $260,000-$300,000 there. That is a huge difference.

Someone close to me, elderly, just
died of pneumonia after a fall. I can't tell you how many reports I have been typing lately of elderly people in the hospital with pneumonia after falls and really feel for these people. Suddenly, these reports all hit home.

Not even close to the same scenario.
Oh, please... that's like saying you should put your dog into a little cage that's only 4x his size, and give him a little exercise wheel and that he'll be fine... after all, that's what people with hamsters do, right? Apples and oranges. Again, talk to your vet.

Not quite to that point but close...
I know not to internalize it which saves me.

I feel it's a personality flaw very similar to Dr. Jekeyll and Mr. Hyde. ha!

Thanks for posting the article.

Scary how close it was!

I've been having to tape Tue/Wed shows because I am working and so I haven't been able to vote either. Next week I will just have to make an exception and watch/vote. Have to get Taylor through-whoo-hoo. He's my soul man!

Close but no cigar
Not in New Hampshire ...

I don't make 50K or close sm
I think it is because I just can't sit that tight. I find my body can't take more than 6 or 7 hours at the desk most days. I am chronically ill and that doesn't help. Every fall and every spring I find myself in bed for 12 hours of every 24 trying to find a comfortable position and sleep off my pain.

That, and I know for a fact I don't pick the best work situations. I quit a wonderful job this past summer because they changed platforms and I was bored anyway. I took a job with such heavy ESLs I am struggling a lot and the work flow isn't anywhere near consistent.

This board probably doesn't help, but I am a recent poster so this is not really a contributing factor.

not this year but close
I am with a company (finally) that pays fair meaning it pays for everything at a decent rate. I have doubled what i have made at other companies and will have no issues making at least 60k next year.
