Keystrokes Definitions for EXText
Control A
Allows you to edit the copy (CC) list. We don’t use this usually in this capacity as the CCs are predetermined by the attending physician’s profile. However, if the dictating physician wants a physician added and you don’t know how to spell the name, you can Control A and enter the 1st letter of the last name plus a question mark i.e., A?. Al the physician’s with A as the beginning of the last name will come up. I use this quite often to confirm spelling of physician names.
Control B
Bold
Control C
Copy. You can highlight any text in any document and Control C to import it to a new document or duplicate it in an existing document.
Control F
Opens Word’s Find screen, which allows you to search the document for text, formatting, special characters, etc. You may also access Find and Replace from this screen.
Control G
This allows you to change the routing for the report, which has been set up by the profile. For example, when you leave a report for review, you would Control G and remove all the routing with the exception of Transcription Department. That would allow it to print only here and nowhere else until we have completed the report. Once you have printed the report with the new routing, the default routing reappears.
Control H
Puts a document on hold. If you were transcribing a report and could not quite understand the physician’s H&P, you can Control H and then search for another H&P by that same physician to review.
Control J
Brings the TES screen up. This comes in handy when you are typing a report, choose a date of transcription from the list of dates, and then find that the dictation is for another date. Control J will bring up the TES screen, you then place a ? mark in the visit box and all of the visit dates for that patient will be displayed. You can then select the correct visit date for which the physician is dictating.
Control N
Saves, spell checks, and distributes documents.
Control O
Opens a document that has been put on hold.
Control P
Pause session.
Control Q
Exits ExText without saving the document.
Page 13
Control R
Brings up any normals established for the client from which you may choose.
Control S
Search for a document.
Control T
Cancels document without saving it. Sends voice back to pool.
Control V
Pastes any copied material to where you want it to go.
Control W
Changes worktype. When the TES screen comes up as an H&P and the doctor begins his dictation by saying he is typing an OP or Consult, you can make the change on this screen. However, if the doctor does not say anything about the work type and you begin typing, and then realize that the H&P is actually a consult, then you can Control W and it will bring up a list of templates. You identify the one you want, click on it, and it will import it into your document. This will also change your footer to be the correct work type. Remember to delete the original template from the document you are typing.
Control X
Allows you to cut something from one place and place in another place. Unlike Control C, it does not duplicate the material, just moves the original.
I've never used mine for anything but definitions! But

"Assault" is not the same as "rape" when you get into definitions. An assault can be mi
a rape is definitely not.
Unbelievable how people have different definitions of the exact same thing
You said, "I just wanted to isolate myself at home on evenings and weekends".
A "social butterfly type" wouldn't have made that observation about herself. You made a decision to isolate yourself, which you of course have every right to do because most of us here do the same thing.
I don't think I'd fool around with it, I'd see a doc.
If it is your heart and you wait you could die. If it's not your heart, you'll at least know that. I don't think the heart is anything to fool around with. Too many younger people are dying from heart disease.
not a fool, but
how foolish would a woman feel if she found out later that they were at social gatherings where everyone knew what was going on.
Most MATURE men don't stick to the code. They tell their wives. They want their wives to stay out of it of course, but I think they also realize that in telling their wives that it is KNOWN that the wives will probably blab it to the point that it will become public knowledge (blabbing is the female unwritten code, LOL).
I don't really think the OP should contact this *woman*; however, I think she should ask her husband to tell his friend to inform her to not involve him AND to not give out his number or involve him in friends affairs ever again. If OPs hubby won't do that then there are already existing problems.
You are NO fool...

Don't let that fool ya'...
And, here I sit after my job was outsourced to C-Bay even though my "manager" claimed she did not want to outsource.
You need to consider the fact that your manager probably does not make those decisions, but the higher ups that are above him/her do! This is the very first signs of outsourcing (new system) to comply with the outsourcing company.
The best way to get a new system set up for outsourcing is by using the staff on hand. No, I doubt you'll get a raise, but you may get a big surprise once you set that system all up for that outsourced company.
It happened to me, and I had a manager just like you are stating. If I were you, I wouldn't make any waves regarding a raise right now. If you are hourly, then I wouldn't worry too much about the line count and when asked why your line count isn't up to par, then reiterate the fact that you've been instituting a new system.
The hospital I worked at also asked the MTs to help because the managers had no clue. So sad...
Oh, and they did all of this after hiring a very older lady (partially retired) from a hospital that was outsourced so she had to quit. That lady lost her job at the hospital I worked at about a month after I left. I left before the outsource because I refused to help outsource the work I had done for the past 17 years.
P/S: Just keep your eyes and ears open very wide!!!!!! 
Honey, I am NOT the one being a FOOL
You are on her ranting and raving about something you have absolutely NO control over. I am living my life with a good job and paying my bills without problems. That is not foolish, that is life.
He's a damn fool. That's what I say. nm

You are a fool..so shut up
Why do I work two jobs? Do you have the need to know? Because I like to live well and have money in my pocket. Why dont you work two jobs? Because you are the lazy one and most likely no other trans company would hire you except MQ, who it is well known will hire newbies and transcriptionists that other companies would not give their 2 cents to.
Call me a fool
but I guess I don't understand what you're saying. I went to a hearing and just didnt receive any paperwork from my lawyer, had to go get it myself from the courthouse. I hope that's what you mean.
Don't fool with Vista yet
My son beta tests these programs and this one is not ready yet. It conflicts with other programs at present, especially any older programs (pre XP). Better to wait until it has been out for quite a few months and the bugs are worked out. 
No, but then the fool doesn't have my email ads so how could he?
 You mean he has figured out a way to lower my income even more?
Why doesn't he just send me a bill for the opportunity to sign in to type the
junk they have now? And it is junk. There's not a decent hospital left. Have you noticed how many accounts are g-o-n-e? disappeared, vamoosed, gone poof.
I'm sitting here thinking it is way past time to leave this business. It is too complicated. It has not become more standardized. If anything it is more loopy - each place has a different platform, hospital rules they want you to follow for each thing. Used to you could turn on a typewriter, put paper in the machine, type, put a sticker on it, and you were done. Now it takes sometimes 3 months to get up to speed - NOT because you don't know medical terminology - you have to learn a specific platform (go buy special parts to use it), figure out new expanders, get special internet thingys, get wave pedals, throw away $$$ super stations and C-phones. It's a joke. They want us to cover all that just for the right to make squat for money.
Nope, I think it's time to pursue something else. 
She didn't want to look like a fool on national TV
Trust me as soon as the cameras stopped rolling she was calling him on the sly. As for all those fake crying pretty boys, I couldn't stop laughing  , does everyone want to be an actor now? sheesh
He's a jerk and I'm an intermittent fool.
When was the last time you linked to a website link and got the response "too many hits?" It just looks all too contrived. I have to admit that I did link there, but won't try it again. Maybe he's just getting a big kick out of the attention this is bringing, and our resultant frustration. Now, I will be running my Spyware and deleting any new cookies that are found.
Exactly true. And you don't have to fool with new drugs and stuff, either. nm

MTs at my hospital tried to say 20 cpl was average. The director is no fool.

Working fool, Thank you for your wonderful post!
God bless you for telling your story as it gives insight into how we all have to be our own advocates.
My aunt "trusted" the trusted old surgeon who told her not to worry, we'll deal with it IF it becomes an issue. Well, it did but to late to treat and she died within 3 years.
That had to be hard to post this, again, thank you!
hold that thought. also known as fool's paradise. nm

First name Bonita? I got ripped off. Feel like a fool. sm
She said she had been burned before and needed the money upfront. Then she never sent the Lanier. I think was should be able to post identifiers on things like this to protect each other.
Then you are an absolute FOOL. Down the road, you'll wish you were never involved

Tell 'em typing fool, because I tend to agree with you. nm

? how to play CD-R
ok, got a CD-R for Christmas with old family photos/video on it. How do I play it? I put it in my CD player and it said check disk. I put it in my Computer and nothing happened. I found media play and pressed play but still nothing. What am I missing? Thanks.
Alt+P = play, sm
Alt+P = play
Alt+O = onward
Alt+E = everything
Shift+F2 = Speed Bar
Hope this helps.
I don't think there is any way to play the CD--sm
like your digital voice player. you should be able to transfer the files off the CD to your computer and then change them to whatever your voice player will play, i.e. wav. dss, or whatever, but to play the CD like that, uh..no.
Or less play time.

If he had a brain, he'd take it out and play with it

Thanks! I'll play around with it! :) NM

What are you using to play the files? sm
There might be a setting to select the foot pedal and/or the type of files.
yes. they are used to play wav files on your --sm
digital wav player, so they can be called wav pedals too. Although some programs require a specific type of pedal because of the way they are wired. USB port is pretty universal and the simplest, but some programs like the serial port ones so it is wired as to left pedal, right pedal, fast forward, reverse, etc. but they are essentially the same thing.
Can you invite them over to play again? (nm)
nm
ok, done that, now how do I get it to play so I can take the test? nm
nm
why 'work' when they pay you to play!!??
you have to make these hurtful things into humor somehow to cope. or explore why they don't consider this work -- the pay? that you sit down all day? but most of all, YOU know that its not only work, but work that very few can do at this level well. if you'd like to buddy-up and vent personally to me, feel free. Its too bad your extended family doesn't appreciate all that you do -- but i'm sure your immediate household does. Anyone working MT, taking care of spouse and children and home deserves applause -- my hat's off to you!!
This is where your skills really come into play.
It will drive you mad if you let it. Sometimes even the doctor is unfamiliar with the med especially specialists. I have found that on an occasional basis. 
Play The Ball, Not The Man
I am respectfully handing this thread back to Dinosaur, when someone starts playing the man, not the ball, it's time to say cheers because it serves no purpose. Loo, you don't know the first thing about me nor did you bother to take the time to say one reasonable word - to those that did take a moment to at least respond meaningfully, thank you.
A.
Continues to play
I have the start/stop USB pedal and it continues to play when I stop the foot pedal. Sometimes it just continues for a few seconds, and sometimes it just keeps playing and you have to push on it many, many times to get it to pause. GRRRR!
What company did you order your new one from? I may break down and buy another one. :(
Don't know if Play-All or ByteScribe do this, but that's
s
I'll play around and see what I can do.
nm
And two other issues come in to play.
It's the company's responsibility also to make sure the MTs have the tools they need to do the work, not pass along unreasonable expectations and demands to the MT with no help. I'm thinking things like facility punishing for not filling in demographics when said dems aren't available to the MT. IME it's the "st*pid clerical stuff" that often gets focused on. Stuff that could be fixed with a little footwork and planning.
Secondly, the supe should get over the emotional delivery and hysteria. The MT needs to know the facts; they don't need to know how upset you are about it. They don't need to be made to feel st*pid without being given the tools to solve the problem. Management needs to go into problem-solving mode, not blame mode.
DSS files won't play
I am totally new to the at home transcription profession. I found someone to type for but when she sent me the file, .dss, it didn't play on Express Scribe. Now, I have been on their forums and tried ALL of the suggestions and nothing worked. Apparently it has something to do with the way the new version of ES interacts with XP or something. So I found a DSS Player Lite at Olympus and it played the file, but ofcourse there wasn't any foot controls or speed, et cetera. I was just wondering if there are possibly other, preferablly free or cheap, software programs that I can use to play these DSS files. I have another person I will be transcribing for as well but I guess she uses a different file format so I am hoping that it will play with ES. I am just so frustrated and don't know what to do to get started making some money. Can anybody help me??
Thanks!!
what software are U using to play
the wav file? You should just be able to save to your desktop and open your software and then in your software, go to where U saved the wav file and dbl click to open it. At that point, you can step on your foodpedal and it will play
I took it to be a play on words
bezoar.... hairball in the stomach.
bizarre...
and how about a bazaar?
But really, you just asked a simple question.
It should play .sri files. Have you tried doing this??? sm
Go into settings, then file types, and put a mark next to .sri files.
Give that a try and let me know if it works. HTH!
This is where the term "accident" comes into play - sm
I have looked it up for Dork Lady to save her some neuron-firing energy... she needs all the help she can get...
"ACCIDENT": An unexpected and undesirable event, especially one resulting in damage or harm: car accidents on icy roads.
An unforeseen incident.
Lack of intention.
Do you comprehend now Dork Lady? Reality - get a grip on it... save yourself, really...
