Did you go to your settings and do the control set up wizard? nm

What does the "Save in" box say?
You are always saving documents to a folder. You have to make sure the folder listed in Save In is correct.
You should be able to use "save as" (sm)
in MS and save it as WP6.1.
Have you looked at the WP site online for a downloadable version of it? Just a thought.
sounds like a sneaky way to "save money" to me
I would challenge that policy and seriously look at changing jobs if they did not explain it to my satisfaction or otherwise leave it as you described it.
LOL - forgot the Wizard of Oz....NM

Wizard is quick
I don't know that you are doing this, but I remember holding my foot on the pedal in the Wizard waiting it for tell me to lift it off...and it doesn't. Just put your foot on each pedal it asks you to identify just a couple seconds and lift up. Also, I found thru trial and error that you must remove the plug from the USB port each time to reset. Not saying you're doing either one of these wrong, but I certainly did.
JL, I don't know. But unless you're a wizard SM
typist, it won't be nearly enough until you develop your Expander skills. To make anything like decent money today, you have to use one to greatly increase your typing speed. Good news is that there are systems out there that require almost no memorization. For instance, one that uses an old hand ShortHand system based on letters instead of shorthand symbols so you just learn its system and store it in your expander.
Welcome back, though. You're going to LOVE typing something like for cashd or cashdd and having CASHD and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease come out.
foot pedal wizard
All the wizard tells me to do is "press right pedal," then "release right pedal" and so on....only my "play" pedal works. The rewind will, but talks at the same time it rewinds...it's irritating. Any suggestions? Also, I've noticed that no matter what I do when the wizard tells me to press and then release those three pedals...that nothing changes. I also have Express Scribe.
Have you tried the Footpedal Setup Wizard?
I had a similar problem, went through the wizard and then it worked. It's worth a try.
Settings, Playback settings.
Increase or decrease the steps in Rewind.

computer wizard question-vista
I have a laptop with vista that I purchased a few months back. Some companies are telling me its not compatable with their programs yet. Do you think I should try it first instead of downgrading to XP? Does it harm the computer if it does not work? I know of some people being told it will not work and then in the end vista was working okay with a company's platform. I know docuscribe works with it okay even though tech will tell you it doesn't. TIA
Foot pedal wizard is in Express Scribe.
Have you tried to reboot your system since installing the new foot pedal? Sometimes the computers don't recognize new hardware until it reboots.

Well, Word is easy to buy and easy to install. Word 97 works great. Cheap. SM
I still would not work anywhere I could not use a spell checker with grammar checker and a Steadman's Medical Spell Checker.
IF they want people to TRANSCRIBE MEDICAL REPORTS, then I guess they better get the programs they need.
It's like probably 110% easier to buy and install Word 97 than to try to program their own programming. And, yes, I do mean Microsoft Word 97. Why? Because you can install it unlimited times, in case you need to install the operating system again. And it has a few features that Microsoft, in its un-wisdom, took away in Word 2000 and 20003 and 2007. So, yes, I'd go with Word 97 for its cheapness and it works better than the later versions. Just my opinion, with 20 years experience being an MT. So what if they "don't have it" on their computer? It's easy to get.
Easy easy money they are!
I don't mind seeing those puppies filter in at all. Same for H&Ps. They are always different though, so can't really pop in the same pre-formatted autotext, but it's usually WHAMMO 2-3 pages at a time. Give them a shot...you may just be pleasantly surprised!
I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.

I am using Express Scribe, and I tried the settings and that didn't help. Thank you!

Yes, I am afraid I did all of that. It keeps coming back and saying that it is not a supported file. Thank you very much for helping!

Click Playback tab. For Rewind, I have set mine to 500 and Speed at 150.
Try the Settings.
Under playback tab you can change the rewind. Mine is set at Step (ms) 500 and Speed (%) 150.
Go into Settings.
On the Control tab use the footpedal setup wizard to set what part of the pedal does what. On the Playback tab, you can change the backspace. On the
Have You Tried the Settings?
I haven't used Express Scribe since school, but have you changed the settings? I had to change it to change the settings for what food petal I was using. The one I chose was V-something (VEC? VRC?) 3-pedal, I can't remember.
It may have to do with your settings sm
under File, preferences. Make sure you don't have verify target window checked. Also, may be the pause....after so many keytstrokes. Play around with that one. Every body is different but what works for me is pause 5 msec after 1000 keystrokes.
Also, try waiting for the expansion to appear before you type the word after it.
And below, make sure you have simulate Keystrokes checked.
Settings....
On Exp Scribe, click on settings,file type, and if you don't what type of file, just check them all. Then give it a try and see what happens.
Did you try the settings on the
monitor itself. Mine has buttons to push to change the screen size and my old one had a dial. That's about as much as help as I can give.
Did you check all your settings and especially....
your password in OE? If so, is the Spamgard on in Yahoo so that it is keeping from going to your OE?
Settings, control and then where?

I DID go into the settings and *told* it what to --sm
count. It was still very inconsistent and would not count headers, even though I *told* it to. I would count lines with it and then recount with Sylcount and Abacus was always fewer lines. This was just MY experience with it and I don't need to be made to sound like I am not familiar enough with these programs to not do the *settings* correctly. thank you.
it depends on the settings
I worked before for gross lines, but it depends on the margins and the font setup. I had one account that was Ariel 12 and the other was only a font of 10. With the 12 font I got more lines credited as opposed to the 10 font. Working at 9 cpl without spaces actually evens out to about the same as the lesser amount with spaces. You can download Abacus and then take a document you have typed and have it count it without spaces and with gross lines and then see the difference, it's really not that much.
click settings then...sm
under Playback tab, adjust the Auto Backstep on Stop (0-5000ms). 1000ms = 1 second.
Go to settings, then file and
it gives you a spot to put the number of days to delete files.
Control-settings....
Thanks so much - still having problems. Got the wizard to work on a couple of ports, but only to the push rewind pedal - then will do nothing - locks up and goes crazy with buttons on Express Scribe flashing continuously...any ideas?
Will do both, but how do I get those settings back?
TIA
Mine won't let me do that. Wonder if it could have to do with the settings? nm

Changing settings
You can change the settings. With your mouse on the main desk top screen, right click and go downto properties. Go over to the settings tab and this will give you options for changing the font size. You can change it in that setting by changing the pixel settings, or you can click on the Advanced button and change your DPI setting (or both).
Hope that helps.
I believe if you go into your settings while booting up. SM
On my PC if you push F2 or F8 during the boot up process it will take to your configuration settings. There will be an option that will be able to clear the password so that you will not be asked for a password anymore.
Yes, I had looked at settings, but I don't see how
to do that. My screen is stretched now, and maybe I'm looking at the wrong place. I dunno....I'm seriously challenged when it comes to this stuff....thanks for replying
Playback Settings for ES
Hello. You can go to the Playback Settings in ES and find the Auto Backstep on Stop heading. Mine is set to 1780 that allows for a reasonable auto backstep. You can adjust to your liking. Once you do that, go to "Control" and run the Footpedal Setup Wizard. That should do it! Best of luck.
Daytime 70, nighttime 65 for my AC settings. nm
..
In the settings, click the Incoming tab...
and then you can select file(s) for Express Scribe to scan. Then it will scan those and will load files automatically.
Did you try the Settings in Express Scribe?
The pedal controls won't work until you open Express Scribe, go to Settings/Settings.../Control, and select VEC Pedals USB or something like that; 3-pedals. Then, you click on "Foot Pedal Control Setup Wizard" and it will have you to press rewind, fast forward, and play. After that, the pedal *should* work.
I received ByteScribe with my USB foot pedal but I didn't like it so I uninstalled it and downloaded Express Scribe with no additional software.
If that doesn't work, I really don't know what to tell you. Sorry  .

I could see much better but the settings slowed down my computer..sm..
I didn't have any trouble getting it back though. Hope you find something that works.
I didn't like what settings I chose (sm)
using Tonks directions so I tried changing back to the original settings and had a bit of trouble regaining them. Just a heads up for anyone wanting to try changing your settings using the wizard. You might create a system restore point before you make any changes so you can easily restore your old settings if need be.
Click on Settings and it is under the Playback tab.

You would have to change the margin settings.
Under Styles, find the List Number and change the hanging indent setting. This will then apply to all documents based on that template.
