What file extension do this WP5.1 documents have?

If they're not saved as .doc, Word won't be able to search them; however, you can open them individually with Word.

I believe if you file an extension you do not have to pay now - sm
that is the whole point of filing an extension....BUT they nail you with interest and penalties for the late filing. So you might want to figure out what you are in for before you do an extension, or make sure you file quickly after April 15 to lessen the interest charges.
DSS is a file extension.
Sending and receiving voice files are all types is not dependent on the file extension but rather using a method that is compatible on both ends. Having said that, if you're both using the Olympus software (which plays back .dss voice files), check the Help files to see if there are detailed instructions on how to use that software to transfer voice and documents between the two locations. However, you are not limited to using their software. There are several methods that have already been mentioned in this message thread--winzip and FTP among them. It's important to make sure that whatever method you use, it's secure.
Email is probably not going to work for receiving the voice files since some voice files are so large that they are rejected by ISPs. Check on either a commercial site like mydocsonline, Files To Go, or the Mededocs mentioned. FTP options are sites likes FTP to Go or zftp.com. Do a Google search for FTP space to find more. There are also lots of free ftpsoftware programs out there to be used for the interface.
What is the sound file extension?
In other words, what type of sound file is it? There are different sound file formats out there. You may be able to play it in Express Scribe so you'd be able to use your footpedal. It sounds as if you have your computer set to play certain sound files through QuickTime. You're not using a Mac, are you? Or do you have the PC version of Quicktime?
You can change the file association by single right clicking on the file, open Properties, then change Opens With by clicking the box to the right and selecting a different sound player. Another way to do it would be to open Express Scribe (if that's what you're using, as long as it is compatible with your sound file type), then Open Dictation File and browse for the sound file. Some of the sound files need patches from Express Scribe to be able to play, but the program and patches are free.
And yes, those companies that provide their lousiest dictation to test with are probably ones you wouldn't want to work for anyway, because the test file IS representative of the garbage they'll be pushing at you daily. (Especially if you do really well on it!!!)
make sure that file extension is checked

The program is being determined by the file extension you're receiving. sm
If you're receiving a voice file that's opening automatically in MediaPlayer (which is what I think you're trying to say), then you will need to change the program that is automatically associated with that file type so that it will open the program you want to use.
The easiest way to do this is to open Explorer, locate the voice file, right mouse click on it and choose Properties. On the General tab in the first "block" where is says Opens With, click the Change button and then choose the program you want to use from the list that appears. This will change the program that opens ALL files with that extension.

When I stressed the important of having medical documents (legal documents)
on the patient's chart (there are outpatient exams done. Hospital is in the outpatient business), the woman said that if there is a serious finding on an exam, the radiologist will call the referring physician and tell him by phone!
This, my friends, is the result of hiring people who have no real background in the medical field (the lead MT never worked anywhere prior to this job, got on-the-job training and has, through a dominant personality, created a tight circle of workers which are marked up of friends from her life and church services over a 15 year period.
OMG!!!
Try changing the extension to .vox

COBRA is simply an extension of your sm
prior insurance, and you pick up whatever the company was paying, and pay all costs. COBRA extends you current insurance when you lose your job, but YOU pay all of the charges, same insurance, though.
Again, COBRA is not insurance, just an extension of sm
any insurance you currently have. So while COBRA may be cheaper that whatever, it is exactly what you have had with an employer, just YOU have to pay for it.
I cannot understand why people think COBRA is a specific insurance policy. IT IS NOT. It is a government policy that allows you to still maintain you current insurance, with you paying for it, for a certain amount of time.
Only one knee hurts, have trouble with full extension
so I learned how to work the foot pedal with the other leg. The more I keep my post surgical knee bent, the tighter the muscles coming into the back of the joint get. I have to stand and toe and heel stretch to work out the stiffness. Summer will be here soon and swimming does wonders for the knees...it always makes my flares go away.
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Check thru the Cooperative Extension programs in your state. Info might be there. nm

then, by extension of your logic, IS THERE a right career for this woman at this time? sheesh.

I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you
Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

I filed for an extension and paid nothing until August 15th. No penalty for that, just interest. nm

Identify the snake to your local cooperative extension agent and they'll tell you what to do, if

...with your user.aco file. Save your autocorrect file to somewhere else. nm

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
PC to MAC documents?
How would I send a PC file that can be read on a MAC and vice versa? Please help ASAP.
The MDs are the one signing the documents and
attesting to their accurateness. Not the MTs.
New documents on QNet for MQ MTs
Go to QNet; look under Policy & Governance; click on Human Resources in the window to the right there are two new documents --- MTME Benefit Policy.
It's all apparently still in the workings but they are starting to post documents as they are readied.
Just thought I would share.
You must compare your documents..
with MS-Word Word Count, which is the standard. MS-Word count tool is used by FlashCount.
In case of any problem, feel free to ask.

Compare old documents
Look at some of your old documents and see what your gross line is and then see what they would have been paid if you had been using a 65 cpl. In word you can do that. Now some software will count double character for capitalization, bold, underline, tabs are counted, indent and count spaces. So that will also make a difference. When one of my accounts was using Sylcount we always counted that way. I do not think that there is a simple chart to use and since your documents could be very personalized with formatting, i.e. indenting lines which makes a gross line smaller, to me it would be best to compare your specific documents rather than a generic table. There are a lot of variables (how long is your gross line) and I don't think a comparison table could take that all into account. But I would think I think an estimation has always been 30% less lines for cpl versus gross.
Legal documents
I worked for an attorney for a while and also have a 2500 page transcript from my BIL's federal drug case and everything was done on legal sized paper - lots of quotes, etc. I wouldn't do editing of that sort of work for $1 a page - or even $3 - $6-$10 - yes. There's probably more money in that than there is in transcription - we MTs just haven't found it yet.
Help please - all my documents disappeared. sm
Has anyone ever had anything like this happen? Everything that I had stored in my documents folder disappeared. Any settings that I had specific to my computer are gone like including my favorites on IE, my normal.dot with all my macros, autocorrect entries, etc. for word, all music files, all pictures, and any and all word and excel based documents I had saved. Interestingly my daughters user ID is fine and none of her documents disappeared. I have ran virus scanners to know avail so I don't know if it was some sort of virus or hardware failure. Any ideas? It is a pain to start all over. Also, what does everyone use for backup? This is about the third time this year I have had computer issues and lost everything and I am so TIRED of starting over and kicking my production time in half until I get myself built back up. I am ready for some type of really awesome backup to assure this does not happen to me again.
Bringing up old documents....
Hi-I have only worked on Extext for a few days and it seems pretty good. I agree with the problem with inserting doctors names though. I am especially interested in finding out how to pull up old documents as I wasn't told about this feature. Can you let me know? Thanks....
Maybe she means that the VR documents
are 'prescreened' for 'quality scare' before getting downloaded to the MT? If there are too many errors, it gets deleted and downloaded blank on the MT's screens?
But this does not make muchsense, does it?
Or maybe if QA finds too many mistakes, it gets deleted and sent back to the MT for straight transcription?
Don't know.
MPWord and assembling the documents into one
Hi,
MPWord does require you do a separate file for each dictation, but it takes the drudgery out of this, for it automatically saves/names the files for you.
It also has a feature that allows you to put all those notes into one file at the end of the day. If you don't need to preserve headers/footers use the Sticky Notes (Append). If you do need to preserve headers/footers, use PDF (Assemble). With either function, you can send your client one file with the day's work.

Has anyone had trouble converting documents
Word 2000. These seem to be putting a .doc extension after all of my documents now. Anyone have a fix? I have an account that I can't use the .doc extension, and when I back that extension off, I get a message saying "this document may not be usable". Is this a Vista issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 in advance for any help in this OMG matter! I'm about ready to  , and I have just gotten it to grow to a length that I like.
Searching in WP 5.1 documents through Windows XP
 I have changed word processing programs from DOS-based to Windows-based programs, but still need to access the old WP 5.1 documents. I am having trouble searching the documents through Windows, i.e., searching for a person's name, etc. inside the document. Do you have any suggestions? 
My Documents is a folder, not a program.

Are documents set to print getting hung up
.
Are we talking Word documents or...
are you typing directly into Meditech or Cerner or a system like that?
You have dragon scan your documents and -
it picks up words it does not know and has you train them, and it also recognizes words that you use more than others.
If I recall, you should be able to pull up all the supporting documents sm
to review, not just the summary page. I always back it up by doing the old pencil, paper, calculator method just to be sure.
It's your responsibility to give them their documents on disk/CD!

Thanks to you all!!! Mine was under Documents&Settings, then Home. :)

Pull up some documents and count them out each way to compare. nm

When bringing up old documents in Extext, Ctrl S,
I think I missed a step. I hit ctrl S, put in patient's name (in this case) and then click find, or quick find. Then, it brings up a list of the patient's admission. Then, what do I hit to bring up the document? The options on the right side are statistics and close? I tried to highlight and double click the admission but nothing. Need some help here....Thanks
Instant Text will expand whole documents
Instant Text will expand whole documents. IT will all so take a bunch of reports and create shortcuts from those reports for you so you do not have to individually create your own. Of course, you can create your own if you like also. The only thing that ITdoes not have that it should is a suggestion box that follows your cursur.
Were documents signed initially that focused on such an event?

Your 2003 documents look the exact same way when you open them in 2007. sm
You don't lose any documents. Compatibility mode just means your document does not change to the new 2007 file structure and you can't use any new 2007 features in that document. "Compatibility mode" shows on the title bar so you know which format you are working in. If you want the new file structure, you just do a save as. If you want to convert the document back to 2003 so others without 2007 can open your documents, you can do that too.
The new Ribbon instead of toolbars is very different and takes some time to learn how it works, but everything you have ever known about Word is still there. I haven't had a hard time with 2007 because the majority of old keyboard shortcuts still work.
It's always in your best interest to back up your documents whether you are switching to a new version or not.
Nope, it's gone. Back up your important documents and templates and this won't happen again.

You will not lose any documents you've created. Restore does nothing to the normal.dot or other templates.
...thought we were a TEAM to create perfect documents! Why be so adversarial?
