Why is spellcheck acting up on me? Did I mess up the settings?

Posted By: Spellcheck is checking headers and footers all of on 2007-11-06

If you have any ideas why it is now checking headers/footers when it did not do that before, please advise. It is driving me crazy.

This story line is the best and best acting so far...
I think. I have never been a big Kristian Alfonso (Hope) fan until now. She is doing a BEAUTIFUL job acting and every time I watch this story line, I cry!! I really like where the show has gone. I read that things will get very interesting between Bo and Hope and this death of their son will be a catalyst for better things to come. Can't wait to see more of this show!!
Why don't you ALL stop acting like 6th graders
What is the point of all this petty name calling, put-downs, and general meangirl behavior? Seriously, if you're content in your job, just do it and be happy that you are. Thousands of other MTs have been screwed over and that is a fact.
Quit acting like 5 year olds. Neither one
of you is exactly making a good impression. 
I dunno...why don't YOU stop acting on your impulse to love men?
Love your *logic*...
Settings, Playback settings.
Increase or decrease the steps in Rewind.
I think it's the temporary files because when it starts acting like this, there are TONS of temp

Even closing Word doesn't make the files go away--I have to delete them manually.


As far as plug-ins, I have tried disabling them before but no luck. I can go months without a problem, plug-ins and all, and then, BAM, it starts happening all the time. I usually start holding my breath when I have a string of "crash-less" days (even more than I usually do to hold my gut in).


I'm beginning to think it's those automatic updates from Microsoft that are adding gremlins...can't say that I'm not beyond thinking that Mr. Gates would have his reasons for doing that, although I can't say for sure what they might be right now.


I'm open to any more ideas you might have.


Ditto....mine is acting like last night never happened - I told him he is a total A-hole when he is
drunk.  He doesn't remember all the crap he said last night of course. I have to start tape recording him, think its time to get a digital recorder.......might come in handy in the future if I ever need it. 
and vice versa - the people acting like a big city life consists of living in a ghetto

She's a mess and always has been.
I never understood the attraction to this dumpster-diving looking woman.
WOW! Now that is a mess! sm

It is odd that she wants to tell you what to do with clothing that she "gives" to you.  That is horrible!  In my opinion you did the right thing about telling her that you don't have anymore room in your clothes.  She does know why you are not accepting the clothes anymore.  If that does not make her change her tune then nothing will.  So, I think it is best, even though you two are missing out on a good thing, to have nipped this thing like you did.  You may be losing out now but if it would have kept on and perhaps all of you been at the same place at the same time with your friend wearing "your gifts" then it could have turned out to be sour.  Now the only thing sour is your "friend" that has an abundance of clothes right now.


BTW - what kind of a friend does that to another friend?  Hopefully, no friend of mine...


 


You are probably going to be really in a mess
if you ever have to explain to the IRS about fees for your animals. How about my 22 pounds cat- can he be my guard cat? If you can charge for guard, then you should be able to take off monthly fees for security monitoring. Hehe
the mess
Janet's right. SR/VR just totally mangles a lot of reports. What sounds perfectly clear and concise to me will be total nonsense in the SR/VR draft version of a report. You need to remove or add punctuation and also capitalization of words on almost every line, sometimes multiple times per line. You have to fix anything that needs to be put into a numbered format. You need to correct headings - add them or delete them. Entire sentences or paragraphs could be missing that the dictator clearly spoke -- I heard it, why did the speech engine miss it? I'm not talking about mushmouth dictators or ESL's. You could have very good dictators that the draft report is just a mess. It is time consuming and frustrating. There are some reports that would be quicker to just type from scratch, but not for 3-1/2 or 4 cents a line!
N'Awlins Mess
Well, between opening all the jail doors, and locking in all the poor "projects" seciton inhabitants, the mayor's pretty much taken a pass on re-election.  This goes beyond partisanship well into the range of sheer, corrupt, beaurocratic incompetance.   But the national-level response has been pretty pathetic, as well.  "oooh, we didn't know it would be this bad!"  Well, drive in, look around and use the radios the army gave you, General!   Sheesh.
Clutter - mess
I have five accounts that I receive schedule print outs from that I check off the names and it seems that they pile up weekly.  I cannot find the time to put them into their designated files.   I also have mail, other things all over my desk.   I usually take Saturday morning with a cup or two of coffee and straighten it out and SWEAR that I will keep it that way but the once again by Friday I am in almost the same shamables.  I thought it was only me.  I can find everything, do not lose papers or tapes -- usually -- and for a supposedly paperless profession I sure do generate a lot of paper.   But glad that I am not alone.  Now where is that schedule???
I'm an IC & I can tell you I'd get out of the biz before I'd work for such low pay. No Mess
 
quick fix when you mess up ? sm
Highlight your upper case text, then hold down the shift key, and press the F3 key. Everything should revert to lower case.
Except that what actually STARTED all this mess - sm
with overseas undercutting was ANY hospital or MTSO doing American business with cheap offshore workers. I know that our cars, clothing, and even our (poison-laced) pet food comes from overseas, and that's bad enough, but this is worse. This is American healthcare, and American ID's and information, and there should be laws against ANY of it going offshore. If Indian workers want to do American MT work, the only way they should be able to do is is by actually living here, and having to pay American prices for their food, rent, and yes - health care.

I could go on and on about all the greed in American companies these days, and not just MT. These guys don't seem to get that you can make tons of money (and maybe even MORE money, in the long run) by being honest and ethical, rather than by being greedy and unscrupulous.
If you don't want to mess around with paying
quarterly, have more withheld from your husband's check as you file jointly. With that and your deductions you should be okay.
Thanks for all the responses! - no mess.

acting a fool or fool? semantics. are you a bill clinton fan?

it depends on what is is? or acting a fool or being a fool.  because we have fun with MQ.  who died and left you boss or arbitrator of what mqmts should or should not do or who is acting a fool or is a fool?  frank?


My husband doesn't see any mess that is his...

as long as it's his 5 pairs of shoes by the door, his clothing draped over the chair in the dining room and his misc. "stuff" piled on the dining room table (yes, the dining area is also by the front door) then it's invisible to him.  NOW, if it's mine or the kids' stuff anywhere - the house is a "disaster."  I intentionally leave all his stuff wherever he leaves it so that I can point it out to him whenever he starts to complain about the kids' toys in the living room...    


 


                


 


This was a major national. You can mess with just about anything...
as long as you have a space bar.
Ditto what Wally said. Don't mess with it.

Young people can have heart problems.


I've been in a panic lately because my left-sided chest has been hurting off and on.  I've had two abnormal EKGs in the past.  I went to the doctor two weeks ago and he blew me off.  I'm in my early 30s, too.  I have high school friends who have had heart attacks and coronary artery grafting or died.  Oh, the doctor just treated me like a hypochondriac again.  I've got kidney problems, too, but they won't even do a urinalysis.  Evidently, none of my symptoms are serious enough to warrant workup or treatment.  Never mind the fact that diagnosed "reflux" was actually a hiatal hernia and diagnosed "constipation" was actually large kidney stones blocking my ureter.


Long story short.  LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.  FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS.  Get thee to a doctor and be persistent, for you, for hubby, for your kids and for your peace of mind.


I was impressed with this. My computer was a mess. nm

We should get paid more just to listen to this mess
You know, the people cut our pay and put us on things that we have to be mind readers most of the time to muddle through. I am doing VR and regular work but I cannot believe how dictators are changing their dictation time after time- on the same sentence. It is a wonder that anything comes out halfway right. Half of the knowledge about this job comes with knowing (or thinking you know) how to change these fricking sentences they dish out to us. On a day like this retirement looks better and better.
of course...you may not get it but you deserve it (small mess)
You mention annual and cost of living raises, what about incentive raises. Anything not in your job description should constitute some type of compensation.

If no money, at least get this on your resume and added to your personnel file, yes?

go for it because if they say no you know where you stand. knowing where you stand can be important. if you do not ask you will never know and you may start feeling resentful.

just my opinion...

they certainly would not let you go or anything, right? perhaps you could ask for a review with your manager (something in writing) and then go for it ?
Yeah, sometimes I catch mess-ups...sm
when I go back through the report, and I say I am glad I proofread. LOL.
Have you seen photos of the tangled mess of
What an incredible MESS. To think that valuable, often sensitive personal information travels through that knotted mess made me nervous even BEFORE the attacks in Mumbai. And now the risk those records face there makes me nauseous. It's a huge U.S. security and/or identity-theft breach just waiting to happen.
Agree wholeheartedly, 100% on this one (No Mess)

Finally, a thought that explains the mess down there!
That would make sense, those that worked, had familes, had ties all fled when possible. Those few for whatever reasons did not make it out appened to get "stuck" with the lowerclass and those released from jails, which finally explains why in the world anyone whould shot at cops and enlisted servicemen/women trying to come in and help!

Good grief that has been driving me NUTS! As it IS an unAmerican response, unhuman response to distaster. Hecks, we had a string of house fires, and people who battle it out everyday in our area were bound together....we do living in a working class are where most families have two working parents...but still a shame to think that is the cause of this extreme maddness, but at least a better thought then they all just went mad suddenly!!
You have GOT to be talking about Transcend. What a MESS in that regard!
I threw in the towel after a few months, and regret that I waited that long. What a waste of my precious time! It was such a giant step for me back in time having to shuffle thru reams of paper, and most of which make no sense at all - no rhyme or reason to 50 pages of random rules, each and every silly report that pops into my computer. Uggghhh. It NEVER got better - actually worse when changes came in nearly daily and the whole mess was jumbled around again, with my highlighting and hints obsolete! I heard other parts of Transcend under different supervisors went smoothly, but the different accounts I tried were all the pits!! Forget about transcribing! Had to go thru hurdles to get there!
Gracious, that is one heckuva recipe. Too much for me to mess with

actual typing time mess

I know exactly what you mean. We see it in E-mails all the time where I work. Although they aren't enforcing it, they do ask that we work our full shift AND get our lines in. I know Dictaphone Extext tracks your typing time and you can see that when you check your line count. It gets really depressing on the speech editing because actual typing time is a LOT less, so it takes longer to get my time in.


This is another way to get more out of the MTs. I think it's all crap, especially since if you were to go over 40 hours a week you won't get paid!


I would never anybody let mess around with my face. No matter how good
the doctor is, sooner or later you can see the 'plastic.'

And then you look worse than before and have to have a 'followup.'

Never, never......and I really mean 'never', except I am in a terrible accident, disgfiguring my face.

spellcheck...
I can't end my document without running spellcheck. Yes, the incorrect spellings are underlined, but I don't always go back right then and correct them. But, when I end my document, spellcheck runs automatically. Even if it didn't, I'd run it just to be sure! Have a wonderful day!!!
Need help with spellcheck, please!
Does anyone know how to do this:   When in Windows Explorer, when you select say five documents to open, to have them all spellchecked as they open?  I have tried to find this information, but haven't been able to do so and have also tried to create a macro to do it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks much and Happy Holidays!

spellcheck...
This makes sense, thank you.
Don't be afraid of it. It's really hard to mess up Oriental cooking.

Here are the links to the recipes that I printed off of Google.  (I love the Internet!  No more cookbooks, only Google for recipes.)  I cheated on the plum sauce by buying a jar because our plums aren't quite ripe yet.  Buy the egg roll skins instead of trying to make your own, too.


http://www.cooksrecipes.com/sauce/homemade-plum-sauce.html


For the fried rice, you can use any type of rice.  I use brown basmati or jasmine rice mostly.  You can also throw in extra vegetables and leftover meats (pork, beef, chicken) to make a meal out of it instead of a side dish.  I like those Oriental pea pods, bok choy, water chestnuts, baby corn, and Chinese cabbage.


http://japanesefood.about.com/od/friedrice/r/friedrice.htm


I'm going to combine and modify the eggroll recipes so I have shrimp/pork egg rolls.  I use canola oil instead of vegetable, peanut, or sesame oil.  I don't care for sesame seeds or bamboo sprouts, so I add extra water chestnuts.  Use frozen or fresh instead of canned crab or shrimp.  Use diced, boneless pork chops instead of ground pork or sausage.

new job - no medical spellcheck

Hi all ... yesterday I started a new job - hospital MT, decent pay, great location. But guess what - the program is so old there is no medical spellcheck in it!  And the old lady that works the other shift, who's had the job for light years, does not use the AutoCorrect feature of MSWord!  The boss told me feel free to use it (thank God) - but can you imagine that?????   Any advice ? 


Thanks guys!


oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm
.
Absolutely - a MUST to run spellcheck! nm

Maybe your spellcheck is outdated?
and theirs is not?
