Escription background color? HELP! sm

How can I change the background color on Escription?  I'm running it with MS Office 2003 if that helps/makes a difference.  The white is causing some serious eye strain and by the end of my shift my eyes are burning and I have a headache.  If I can change it to a different/duller color it might helpl. 


 


THANKS!


Background color on typing screen
I just got a new pc from the company and want to restore the aqua background color on my typing screen. The black on white is too harsh for my eyes.  I have lost the instructions.  Can anyone help, please?  Thanks so much.
If you used an Aqua background, you probably changed the color in
Windows properties on the Appearance tab. Right-click a blank area on your desktop and select Properties/Appearance tab.
RE: Background color on typing screen

Thanks for all of your suggestions.  The closest I could come to what I had done before was:


Start, control panel, display, appearance (advanced tab), Item: (dropdown list - chose application background), color1:  (dropdown color choices - chose aqua and clicked OK.  It didn't make my typing screen for MT work aqua as it had been before.  Wish I could find my instructions !!!!


Go to Tools, Internet Options,second choice down,
delete cookies and delete temporary files. Also, you can clear your history at the same place if it's still a problem.
E. It is not my choice to make, it is their choice.
Every job has its pros and cons.  The more US MTs we can bring in is that many fewer jobs going overseas.  Besides, I like my job.
And make sure Tools/Options, you check to save every 1 or 2 mins. nm

As an IC I make the choice whether or not....(sm)
to accept 5, 6, or 7 cpl.  I personally will not work for that, but there are many MTs who must in order to pay their bills.  I started off five years ago making more than I am now due the changes with India and such.  When I am looking for a job, I have to weed through the low offers, but still I have never received an offer or negotiated a rate higher than 8 point something to start off in the last three years.  The higher pay is just not there (at least for me with my five years of experience).
Which choice to make??
I need anyone's advice on my situation! I was a MT for 10 years and then I left my IC job to take a job at a children's hospital as a unit secretary. I left my IC job because the practice I was typing for were switching over to EMR and after reading about EMR I figured that my job would be eliminated. To play it safe I got a different job that had actual job security!! The problem is I have three kids whom I see for 45 minutes a day in the morning before I drop them off at school. I work the 3-11 shift at the hospital so I am not home when they come home. My husband on the other hand is. The practice that I left has not implemented the EMR yet will in the next month or two. I have been contacted by them to see if I would like to come back and type. I am very tempted by this because that would mean I would be able to see my kids more. On the other hand, I am back to where I was with no job security. I've been told by the manager of the transcription department that the EMR will not impact the amount of transcription but I know that the EMR can impact transcription if the docs use the templates that will allow them to type in their own reports. But this is a big practice with docs who dictate very long reports so I can't imagine them typing in their own reports or even using VR because they tried that in the past as well and that was not very successful. Any advice on what to do? Should I go back home where I will be happy with the kids again but unsure if my job will be secure or should I stay where I am at and maybe try to get a different shift? I love to type but I also love knowing that my job is secure! I would love any advice you all might have. Thanks for listening!
Make sure background repagination is checked on the General tab. nm

yes! i used Consumer's magazine to make my choice,
and love mine - Eureka the Boss, SmartVac (an upright) -- less than $150 at Walmart -- very quiet, picks up very well. Only drawback i see is the cord is not retractable. If upright is not your style, or you want particular features, i'd still suggest using Consumer Reports suggestions. Neighbor just bought a Kirby for $800 -- bet this one would outclean that. Its even advertized as outcleaning a Dyson by 60%.
Their skin is not a choice. To commit sodomy with a man is a choice.
I don't care if they are attracted to men or dogs or goats. I care that they act upon it.
You need more color
It sounds like your furniture is from the earth tone family which means your walls should have color. Carpeting is an accessory, like a hand bag, I wouldn't work around IT, make IT work around you. I WOULD NOT paint the walls tan, that would make it BLAH BLAH BLAH. Go with a color in the blue family, very pale, sky blue. OR, you can do what I did. I had boring tan walls, I bought a "sponge" roller and rolled a light yellow over the tan. With a sponge roller, you can create shape and dimensions. That way, the white peaks through the light blue, giving it a "sky" affect: this allows you to keep in line with the "earth" colors and in the "blue" family. Hope that helps.
color?

i am soon to be married, for the first time even tho "past 35," and am very happy. i am having 4 junior bridesmaids and the ONLY rule i have for them -- they can pick out whatever dresses they love and that make them feel like princesses -- is that there be NO BLACK in the dresses whatsoever.  It's going to be a mid-day, outdoor wedding, plus i feel there's a little bit of jinx factor if black is involved. 


But as far as guests?  black is just fine; what is more beautiful than the little black dress?   go for it!  just my opinion.


color?
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding...it sounds beautiful and how nice of you to let the girls pick out what makes them feel special
color
well, thank you, thank you very much!  my happiness overflows and you must have caught a trickle of it ....weddings are such "contagiously happy" events. 
Try going to tools
Then options, then to the view tab. You probably have something check marked in the formatting section you don't want.
Hair color
I use Balsam (its a greenish box), the cheapest I've found, about 2.97 at WalMart. I use it every 3-4 weeks, and it covers as well (sometimes better) than the salon colors do. I'm a big believer in pampering myself, and TRY to do it often (lately, I've been failing miserably LOL).

The first time or two you might have to just see if it works, and it might take a couple of times (no matter which color or which brand) to completely cover. If you want a 'frosted' look, get a frosting cap and add color to the pulled through hair, makes a great effect. If you don't like it, just color over it :)
I always do OTC hair color.
Colorsilk works really well for me, I like all the Loreal products best. Someone else mentioned Balsom or something (greenish box), this made my hair feel like straw. That shows you that different things work for different people. If you decide to try it yourself, do the pre-testing to make sure it will work for you. That way you don't end up with a whole ruined head of hair. Just clip a small lock from somewhere where it won't be noticed and test first to make sure. Best of luck.
No, no color change! nm

screen color
Is that the color the company you work for gave you? Tech support should be able to change it for you. Mine is blue with white print. Much easier on the eyes. I had one where the preview page was yellow, gosh awful yellow!
Ahh, that's a horse of a different color then.
I would make it clear if you type it, they pay for it unless they can give you specifics about which patients have already been typed.
Tools and then Options looks like it may
have commands that determine this
bayscribe tools
i'm no pro, but am using bayscribe. The Expander tools i think was done separate. Try www.bayscribe.com/expander and see if the instructions there help. Also, if you are using tabs -- for the stuff to all work right, bayscribe has to be in the first tab on the left.
BayScribe tools sm
I am using the BayScribe platform and hate it.  I can't seem to find a tech support person to tell me if I can load all my expansions at once from Word to transcription tools and hate having to do it one at a time.  Does anyone know anything about it?  If you can tell me how to do it or how to contact someone in tech support, I'd be eternally grateful!  Thanks in advance! 
Not the brightest color in the box or on the palate NM

desertbloom color question
I did hair for many years. Do not use Loreal or Clairol. There are tone on tone colors and without a filler the color will 1)not be even and 2) wash out into a odd color. Depending on the color you want I would go to a beauty supply store or a beauty college if one is close by (they are students, but they are supervised), and have a clear filler put on first (20 minutes to slightly damp hair) this will fill in the porous parts and open the cuticle allowing the color to get in, and then have the consultant at the beauty supply or school help with your desired color. You can also use a tempory rinse out color Roux Fanci-Full colors. They wash out when you sampoo, but always remember this, anytime you start with white or light blood hair anything you use may leave some color behind. Hope this helps. Any questions let me know.
I open it so it changes the color and I know I've seen the msg nm :)

Its their house and should be able to paint it whatever color they want
Come on. Just because it doesnt suit you,doesnt mean they shouldnt do something. They paid money and worked their tail off to pay for it, they should be free to do what they want with it.

I thought that was what America was all about.

Geez
I got a print out with color photos of my
colonoscopy integrated into the dictation.  It's already here in the US

Make sure nothing is marked under Formatting marks.
Yes - go to Tools, Options, then Edit tab
On the column on the right side, unclick "when selecting, automatically select entire word."
Mine says tools at top left - sm
Click on tools, user documents, then put date range. Click print preview button, not print button. It won't print on your printer.

If you need to have a print copy, here's what I do. I open a new document in Word. Then go back to your print preview screen with the totals, hold down ALT and click print screen, then go to Word and CTRL V.
Did you click on Tools while in Word? -
Click on Tools, Options, then Spelling and Grammar, and under dictionary, it should have "Custom". Click on Custom for the custom dictionary, apply and OK.

type a medical word incorrectly and see if it is working....

Other than that, it could be in a Stedman's folder.

Can a carpenter work without tools? (sm)
Tools are tools, whether it be for carpentry, taking blood pressure readings, or transcription.  I rely on my tools to be productive and do my job efficiently.  I don't think I could work without the Internet, my e-books or spellcheck.  It would be like typing on a manual typewriter, ICK.  Good luck with your new job, but they need to step up and get with the times.
It's on the tools/options menu
Untick the show startup task pane option on the view tab.
In Word, under the Tools section there
is a place for language set. Have you tried this??
crime of color versus white
Wow, to admit your prejudice..I thank you!  I grew up in NYC and we had all colors, all religions, all beliefs, all lifestyles and I feel so fortunate as I have lived in different parts of the country and many have never even seen others that are different than them..I friend of mine grew up in Missouri and she never even met a Black person till she moved to California..Blew my mind.  Yes, I do think the missing white girls or boys get coverage and believe me out here in California in South Central LA, Compton area, Blacks are killed and missing every day.  I think our country has progressed tremendously in terms of racial equality but there still is much lacking.  On the Natalee Holloway case, my heart breaks each day when there is still no news.  I truly believe that Joran had something to do with Natalee's death and that they disposed of her body.  Im just saddened by the whole thing because I think he is just a boy and I dont think it was out of malice or hate, I think whatever they were doing that night caused her death, be it drugs, sex and maybe she fell and hit her head, whatever..I dont think he set out to murder her but I do think he was involved with her death and then never notified the authorities out of fear, then disposed of her body in the shark infested waters..I dont think we will ever know unless he or the two other boys confess.
oh puhleeeeze. you're just too good for color TV. nm

Black is the color worn to funerals.

To wear black to a wedding is to imply that the marriage is doomed to fail or that you don't approve of the marriage.  You shouldn't wear white either as that's the bride's color.


Then again, what do I care?  Etiquette schmetiquette.  I never did like etiquette "rules" anyways.  Who makes up these things?  And why didn't I get contacted to vote on the rules?  It's after Labor Day, and I am still wearing my white shoes.  Silly Victorian traditions that make no sense at all.  As if we are somehow gauche or less of a person if we don't do what someone else tells us to do.


Chill out, all she is doing is wearing a color she obviously likes -
and black in high school, some pretty wild clothes too. Doesn't sound like she is going goth or anything. Lots of girls wear black, nothing wrong with it. Remember pick your battles and don't blow the little things out of proportion.....as for rebelling I would not consider this anywhere close to rebelling.
"Pop." As in the color popped, the veggies just pop. nm

only one office is deductible -- color coding

I use color coding and have done so from day 1.  Have 7 docs and they all have their own color for tapes, letter head, returned dictation, binder etc.   They are no longer names, they are blue/green/yellow/red/purple/clear and yellow/green.  That is the only way I keep their things separate and for sure know who to deliver to what.   Am of the old school and this works for me.   Also have a monthly board that I keep track of their tapes and time off and that is also color coded. 


Only one office is deductible otherwise you could call your entire home an office. 



 


Irises -- from dwarf to large any color!
I once found a patch of wild dwarf sized irises in the woods over a very small stream. That was a sight I will not forget!
You could color the tops of those keys with a Sharpie, too. nm

Drench it with vinegar. It won't take the color out, and the smell will be gone.You can also add

baking soda to the vinegar.  It works really well. 


I use vinegar for anything with a smell.  If the trash can starts to smell, I pour vinegar in the bottom and let it sit overnight.  Then I just rinse it out in the morning.


Also, if you burn popcorn in the microwave, you can pour vinegar into a coffee cup and put it in the microwave.  Then let it sit in the microwave overnight.  By morning, the smell will be gone. 


 


The icon in her posts has the symbol & color
This is most likely a query from a prospective OFFSHORE MT.

simple way to change color with macro-- anyone know how??

Hi


  I recently lost all my stuff because hard drive crashed.  Someone years ago had given me instructions on how to make a simple macro that changed the colors for typing. I do a bowling program that I need to switch from green to black, from red to black and from green to red.  I had something that I could just hit ALT & R for red, ALT & B for black and ALT & G for green, so no hving to use mouse for it.


I cant find my instructions for this and can not remember how she had me do this.


Anyone have a suggestion?


 


thanx
