Doctors today are totally incompetent for the most part.  YOU cannot worry about it when it comes to transcribing their gawd awful reports.  THAT is between the patient and the doc.  Just knock the report out as fast as you can and make sure it's accurate and then after that, forget about it. 

The docs make the big bucks - you don't!  Let THEM worry about things that will eventually catch up with them, one of which is called the Karma bug, and that little bug ALWAYS bites those who don't deal fairly right in the butt!  And big time, too!  

Carla,

A long short form is usually easier to remember. So I would definitely assign the short forms as suggested by Kelli:
SmithCThead
SmithCTabdomen
etc

In most Expander programs you would opt for a short short form as you have to type the whole short form before you can expand.
In Instant Text you don't have to type the whole short form: you type the first two letters of your long short form and then you can type any of the following letters.
So in this case you would type smcth for the first one, smcta, and you may also type smhead, smabd

This is possible when you use the Instant Text marker key to expand. If you use the space bar to expand, you may be better off assigning the initials as suggested in the second response, as you would not be able to "jump ahead".

I have been using the PRD short cut program on an old DOS-based computer in WP51.  I have upgraded to Windows XP with WordPerfect X3 and wondered if there is anyway to use the PRD with this program.  I have had to use other short cut programs for Word on my XP computer but have recently had to move all my WordPerfect work to my new computer and need a short cut program for it as well.  I would sure love to be able to use the PRD.  Anyone with any helpful information would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks so much!

My guess is that VIPS like this would have decoy names, and they should.

I agree that AHDI or whatever AAMT wants to be called now is just another thing to watch and not trust.  That said, why should anyone want government to be in charge of everything and be trusted to not screw it up?  They've shown us already (both parties) how well that's worked, so I'll handle my own "change," thank you.

AHDI is another form of big government making things more difficult for us.

Thanks, Sheri, for your uplifting message. It is, after all, CHRISTmas--not Happy Holidays like so many merchants around here are saying. It seems that they are benefiting from all the customers purchasing CHRISTmas gifts, don't you think?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!

Rad guy,

First I think all families are a bit dysfunctional.  I say this from experience, I could tell you stories that would make your family probably seem normal.  As a born again Christian for 30 some years now, I would have to argue with your nephew.  It sounds like he may belong to a way out church or cult.  Being married or single does not get you to heaven according to my Bible (King James Version).  John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  

I believe is this, God made the way very simple, it is people who add things and try to make it complicated. 

You might ask him if he thinks the apostle Paul made it to heaven?  He was not married and actually he thought it better for a church worker not to be married because they could dedicate themselves to God. 

One more verse for you to use would be the following.

1 Peter 3:15
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Some Christian forget that people find God through love, not being beat over the head.  It doesn't sound like your nephew is being meek, but a Bully.  This is not God's way.  God is a gentleman, who knock on the door of peoples hearts and waits for them to answer.  He does not break down the door.  He created us with free will, he is not going to force himself on us. 
Good Luck.

If you think that you need to "lower" your rate because you're not driving and picking up, then charge .10/line; otherwise, I would stick with the .11/line and consider it a "raise" if you get the job. Honestly, if the OM is happy with the quality she'll get at .06/line, then you probably didn't want that account anyway because I have found those OMs are the biggest pains and you're better off without the aggravation. JMO.

I do many things, am an MTSO for 10 years who just now had to get an occupational license because the city I live in now demands home offices to have one, now had to send off to the county with copies of OL to get county license...I'm an IC for 10 years and also do some weekends for a national...

where do these people get their info from, that all ICs are *prima donnas* - N_O_T......WOW....the narrow-minded and ill-informed......surround us.....unfortunately.....

My boyfried recently bought me a new office chair for my birthday.  I was very happy as I desperately needed one.  The funny thing is that even with the chair all the way down, my feet wouldn't touch the floor...LOL.  My toes touched the floor, and I could still manage to push the foot pedal, but it was killing my knees after sitting for long periods from the stress of my legs just "hanging" there.  So, my boyfriend build me a very nice platform that is about 4-inches high that sits under my desk.  My feet rest on it as well as the pedal.  I'm 5'3".  I know I'm no amazon, but I didn't think I was THAT short...LOL.  Guess I was wrong.
