Does anyone know what the expanded toolbar is in the work queue? It has about 7 icons at the top instead of 3?

It means to skip the jobs in your work queue that - sm
are by difficult dictators, or have no line-count-bolstering templates, or require too much backing up, re-listening, sentence restructuring, or nose-in-reference time to get in your minimum lines. That's especially true if the employer doesn't weight the job's pay by difficulty. Most MTs voice disapproval of the practice, but sometimes an gal's gotta do what a gal's gotta do, in order to survive and make that next car payment, rent check, or grocery bill.
Ask them to give you the ability to choose your work from the queue SM
They may refuse; but assuming you do have to sign off (I don't remember any more), you can explain that it takes too long. All they can do is refuse. Another--big--benefit is that you can choose several jobs in a row for a dictator or specialty you're having trouble with and learn in a day what can take months to learn coming through in dribbles.
Queue
First I love this quaint British term, did I spell it right? queue, how cute! I don't claim to know for sure, but I'm thinking that you get the report based on its importance as far as TAT, do you think this could be true? I know what you mean about looking ahead and looking forward to certain dictators, but on what I am doing there really are not too many bad dictators. My thing is I just want to have lots and lots of work!
Do you pull from the queue when you want?
So you go into the queue and grab what is at the top at that time. So if you do not feel like working one day or that morning you don't have to pull from the queue?
I need to work at a place that is flexible that I can get work when I am able to.
Thanks
While the queue was empty
While the queue was empty, I logged in to my public library's audiobook section and found an audiobook called The Law of Attraction, which I downloaded for free and started listening to. It contains tips and secrets on how to attract good things into our lives, which would include abundance and positive experiences in every area of life.... I also found links online to free worksheets and all kinds of stuff. Here is a you tube link to explain more about what I'm referring to here:

Empty Queue - try freerice.org
An MT told me about this site, it's interesting..
Main topic is "Things to do online while the queue is empty." nm

I would, but I cannot get a Toolbar
of any kind to come up. Just the horizontal and vertical rulers.
Thanks for the suggestion, tho!!
toolbar
In the right hand corner, there is an icon called *tools*. Click on that and a drop down box will open with *toolbars* in it. I have not tried it myself, but there should be something in there to get what you are looking for. Also the *customize* button. Good luck. hope it works for you!.
toolbar
just figured it out! yeah!!
Toolbar
Go into view, toolbar and see which ones are highlighted and then you can hit which ones you want. I use standard and formatting for mine. that does give two lines but it is what I use. Hope that this helps.
Once I get top toolbar set up how I want it,

Have you tried using the toolbar instead

Just look at your toolbar..it has left, right, and

Do you have a customized toolbar?
Is this a situation where you can set one up? If so, go to View, Toolbars, then to the Toolbars tab and click "new." Name it whatever you want (I just use my first name) and then click the Commands tab and drag the icons you choose over to your new toolbar.
The reason I am saying all this is that I have a Bullets and Numbering icon on my toolbar, so whenever the numbering starts messing up, I can highlight the area where I want the numbering to be, click on the Bullets and Numbering icon, and fix it - quick and easy.
Plus I can put only the icons I use most on the toolbar and not have all those I don't want. Speeds things up a lot when I don't have to sort through a bunch of icons to find what I want.
Toolbar in what program?

You set up that on your toolbar using Word? (m)
Any chance you could tell me how? I'm not that savvy, lol. I appreciate the help!
Floating Toolbar
I had to try around with a few different things but I think I went to Microsoft Office Word Help and followed the directions for "create a custom toolbar"
On the toolbar there is this rectangle with
the percentage mark. Make sure that it is set on 100%. This determines the size of the text.
Tell me if it worked, thanks.
I used to have a free little toolbar that I downloaded and
there was also a website where you could sort the feedback of ebay users. I deleted it because I'm just not into ebay as much as I used to be. However, if you check Google or Download.com, you ought to be able to find something. GutCheck is one of them, but I've never used it.
I typed the following into Google to find GutCheck.
ebay sort negative feedback
And "ebay feedback" without quotes at download.com to find BayCheck.
HELP. My husband screwed up my toolbar
how do i get it back down where it used to be? The start menu, etc.
Look at View/Toolbar -- and over to the side of that is a SM
dropdown menu that should have some things checked on it. If you can't see "view" then do alt+v and see if that works.
I have a technical question. On my toolbar when
I click on any of the categories (File, Edit, View, Tools or Help), instead of getting my dropdown menu I get a trasparent square. If I drage my mouse down, then the titles appear but you can see the screen under them. The same thing happens on Outlook Express. (I have Windows XP). The only one that shows the regular dropdown menus is Favorites. This just started today. Has anyone had a similar thing happen or know what to do about it? Thanks.
Pull Down "View" on Toolbar.
Then hit Zoom.
on toolbar, click view
then uncheck ruler
on the toolbar, next to the Bold button
There should be a little box with a number in it and a little black arrow. If you click on the arrow, it will bring up a bunch of font sizes. I would pick 12 as it is a standard size for printing. Hope that helps.
Lock toolbar is not an option I am given? Any

Line count is not on my toolbar.
I stand corrected. I had no idea it was on the Tools menu; I have always used a separate line counting program OR the Properties under the File menu. Also, my Tools menu is condensed most of the time and I had not noticed Word Count on there before. "Look before you leap."
MS word toolbar question - sm
Somehow I lost the print and print preview options on my toolbar and I do not know how to get them back.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Lost toolbar on Internet Explorer
Can anyone tell me how to restore the tool bar with the buttons such as home page, refresh, go back arrow, forward arrow? I know that there are other buttons on there but those are the few that I use most often and can remember. My guess is that something has been inadvertantly turned "off" but I don't know where to look for it.
View > Toolbar > Lock the Toolbars

Get a Google Toolbar, description and link enclosed
I have a Google search toolbar at the top of my browser. It's a small line like the address bar but it says Google beside it and I just type in my searches there instead of going to Google first, etc. I've found it very easy to use. Of course, as with anything there are extra parts to the program, I just added the basic tool bar and went to options and only kept the parts of it that I wanted on my toolbar. It makes searching a whole lot easier, all I need to do is bring up the internet and my search is at the top.
Mentioned below, zoom in over 100% on your toolbar won't change print nm

I get my work from an FTP site that they load the work to, however I don't have pool work so to
speak, but I tell them how many minutes a day I want. The work is generally put in my box by 5 pm every day, then I have until 10 am the following day for some priority work, or 3:30 pm for the rest, so TAT is not too bad. I would like to work less at night though, but I working on that. My downside is I do not get the same dictators day to day, there are a few I do on a semi-regular basis though, some generate great lines but take longer to do that other doc's and are not "money-makers", I also do not get paid for spaces so that hurts a bit too. This is WP5.1 too.....so very antiquated but that is what the hospital uses, so not much choice there. But I understand what you mean about the C-phone. I was just doing another job with C-phone recently...they incidentally did not tell me how to get off of the system, which was very simple. I'd finish a job, then hit stop and hangup if I wanted to get off or quit working. That is what you need to do if you want to sleep, eat, etc. Don't feel guilty, do what you signed up for, believe me they watch the pools and will get others to do the work you don't finish. If they get on your case remind them that you are only PT and only want 500 lines a day, etc. It's not worth killing yourself over. Good Luck. 
You go by your schedule and have no work. Everytime I get on to work, there is always work.

Then you would have no life at all except work, work, work if you did that. I wouldn't do it. nm

Same thing with nationals. You work all the time to keep the account caught up when others dont work
and then when they decide to put a whole lot of extra people on your accounts and run you out they could care less about how much you worked.
Have a hospital I work for and they consistently change work types and do line counts. (sm)
Management just doesn't understand in order to crank out the work you need to be proficient by typing the same accounts. Go figure, they just don't get it ??
Usually work "live" on a Cphone, while connected. There are ways to record & work off line, bu

steady work...gearing up to start new account....but there was no work on Tues as it was a holiday
Be patient with your eyes open....
I work for Warminster at MQ and I am sick to death of being jerked around with no work all the time.
I would like a job where I can depend on the work and it does not seem to be in this office of MQ.
Speaking of offshoring MT work, who does not directly send work offshore?
Just curious. Has anyone got a list of companies who do not send work offshore? Precyse? MQ? Spheris?
Becky you work in a great place. With no one hovering, I bet you get a lot more work done w/o agoniz
wants what. The only people qualified to do QA on my reports are the dictating doctors and the rest is just pure waste of money and time. If I have a question fine. But this random QA bites and hurts everyone. BTW, I don't have random QA for those who seem to think I may have an ax to grind. No dog in this fight. Just common sense.
Good. Why dont you send some our way. What office do you work for so I can call and get your work.

Before needing to work, I did volunteer work through the Junior League where I am from in Texas. lm
Junior League was like a full-time job sometimes, but I loved it. Now that I have to work, even though it is from home, I still volunteer through my son's school. I am a school teacher in my previous (pre-MT) life, so I volunteer my tutoring services for children who need the help beyond what the schools are able to provide but whose parents cannot afford to pay for private tutoring. I also know how you felt about being afraid. I was strangely afraid before I joined the Junior League. It was just the unknown. But I was SO blessed by being able to help. Honestly, I am sure that it helped me just as much, if not more, than I helped others. Go for it. You won't be sorry. (Just remember that you have to say NO when you have to say no, okay? Remember that and you will be richly blessed by the experience!)
