Would you mind answering another question

Once you have created the template, if you need to make changes to it, how do you open the template rather than a new document based on the template?

I sure would appreciate any help on this. TIA

Never mind..I didn't see your post answering that sm
very question below.

Mea Culpa.

And sadly, I don't have the Spheris Expander to which you were referring.
Your mind was in the gutter up there with sauteed stool, too. Would you please take your mind out of

Thanks for answering
With my second job, I have to use an external modem to dial up, they don't support high-speed internet. Is that what you have to do as well? We wondered if it would dial up or not. Where we live, if the phone goes out the cable goes out, as the cable uses the fiberoptic lines, so it's pretty much the same I guess if the internet went out, so would vonage. Seems like a really good deal.
Thanks for answering! (sm)

I think that is excellent that you can do that much.  1500 lines (with the kids home all day) would probably take me 12 hours!  My little one will go to kindergarten 2 years from now.  While I certainly hate to wish away the years, since children seem to grow up so quickly anyway, I know my work days will be so much easier and much more productive when they are all in school.

I was referring to Meditech Client.  I remember someone posting about an F8 function that took the spaces out.  I've been trying to locate the post, but I can't find it.

Would like to hear opinions!
Thanks for answering.
My nephew next door just got a new laptop and together we have been trying to research possibilities. He has Verizon as his cell phone carrier and we have a local service. I had just stumbled onto the local fixed wireless service online and was just trying to check on feasibility of all options before actually making calls. It has been my experience that many companies supplying these services will assure you they can can work for you, but after they get your money you find out they cannot. I refuse to plop money down until I find out what (if anything) will work here. Until then I will contend with dial-up. At least it is cheap. I really appreciate your information. Thank you so much for taking time to respond.
Thank you so much for answering! sm
I really want to move on so I think I will continue my pursuit of my RHIA and my Masters in Heath Services Administration.

I really appreciate your answering!!

RE: Thank you for answering my
question. Not I realize how the hospitals are making such a huge profit by switching to VR. Yes, it may be easier on us to edit, but we are also being deprived of lines that we would be entitled to by transcribing the demographics and the list of recipients.

What are you asked to do (and not be paid for) if you cannot find a doctor's name in the database?
Thank You so very much for answering my questions

People on this board are great. Always willing to help. This should solve my problem.


Answering your questions,
No my husband does not make $1.00 an hour. He tells me sounds like your husband might have been owner of his truck but then mine is in the union and thank goodness, he was able to bring home over $100,000.00 last year which now allows me to work part-time instead of all the time. He does not do the gone for 3 days or more a week, in fact he is home so much feels sometimes like he is not gone at all. His off day is Monday. Gets home around 4 that morning and sleeps for awhile and then does not have to return to work until Tuesday at 9 p.m. the next day. He returns home again on Wednesday morning and then leaves out again at 9. We have loads of quality time together. He is not an owner, does not worry about having to pay this person or that and this is a great thing for us, our medical insurance is a freeby. I love his job. We are further up in age so we both enjoy our time together as much as our down time from each other. Gotta run, on my way to my ceramic class before work this morning.
Thank you for answering. Much appreciated.

answering a question or two

Hello again, I see my email address was removed, sorry, didn't know that was a bad thing to put it in, sorry about that. If anyone is still interested if you just reply to my first post or this one, I will get back with you.


I had someone ask me if you had to be an MT for a bunch of years to help out with my MT mentoring project, and nope, if you know the answer to a question that's been asked it doesn't matter if you've been an MT for a month or 20 years, all the help we can get would be greatly appreciated.


I know that most people can get their questions answered here because MT Stars rock, but my hope is to help people out who need a question answered quickly. Heck, I know I've been an MT for quite a while and I still have questions sometimes that I need an answer to right away and QA is slow to respond.


Anyway, thanks you guys for the responses I've already gotten, you guys are great. Shannon


 


 


There you go again,Mary, answering
tsk, tsk, tsk...


I am answering to my own post sm
above. I am not an IC right now. I took a job with LM that didn't work out. That was IC. This job with KS is emp status. If I said it was IC someplace that was a mistake, but I can't find it. It is one account, one group of docs, no VR, nothing. Why the big ruckus anyway. Just trying to let folks know there are decent jobs out there. Good grief.
Answering your last question...
The doctor would probably just deny up and down that he actually said it that way! Those kinds of mistakes always get passed off as [must have been the transcriptionist's typo, I couldn't have said that!] grrrr..... ;)
Everyone answering, are all working on VR or do you just not want to?

I have hesitated in answering this question--sm
simply for how it will be perceived, but someone below mentioned something about not caring for elders if there had been abuse. My mother physically and emotionally abused me from the day of my birth. She never wanted another child and made no bones about letting me know that my whole entire life. I have had difficulties all my life in developing and maintaining loving relationships with anyone, be it male or female, my whole life. My father died three years ago now and my mother has tried to force herself on all of her kids since then, expecting us to take the place of our dad and provide her entertainment and socialization. I must mention that my mother is a raving alcoholic with violet outbursts when she is drunk. My sister and first child has always been the favorite, but she lives 200 miles away. My brother and youngest child had enough of her demands and expectations when she moved to his same town after my father passed on. He has moved 500 miles away now and has washed his hands of her. She has since moved to within one mile of me and now I am "expected" to do everything for her that she needs. I have no warm and fuzzy feelings for her due to past treatment of me, but I do what I can for her out of pure responsibility. She cannot drive anymore, so that is left entirely up to me. My sister comes around only on holidays, but that is about it. I have contributed financial support when needed, I take her wherever she needs to go, but on my schedule not hers, and I have had her tell my siblings and other relatives that I won't do anything for her and that I absolutely refuse to, which is definitely not true. I gave up defending myself. I do what I have to do, but not because I want to. I will not see her in a nursing home. I do not feel they are appropriate, but she is still my mother, no matter what water has crossed under any bridges. She is 78, mourns my father's passing, and wishes for death every day of her life. She is needy and demanding and I hate that, but I do what I have to do.

this is just my story and I am not wanting to start any arguments here. Just venting, I guess.
It may be old news, but it's something I wanted to know. Thanks for answering. sm
I do think the name "American" has been removed, as it should have been.  Thanks again.
Answering the question you asked...sm
The phenomenon you correctly observe hasn't come about as a result of any one thing or at any particular moment. It is the culmination of a number of cost-cutting measures and offshore competitive pressures that have rolled downhill and landed most heavily on the folks at the bottom.
Elssa - Sony answering machine
You mentioned in your post that the docs called in on your Sony answering machine. Could you please tell me what model that was and how it worked for transcription.
Thanks
Barbara
If you quit answering the door and the phone...

while working my answering machine is set to ring twice
Period. If i hear the machine message saying emergency, i will grab it; otherwise they can wait until I am done!
Use an answering machine, or change your number
It has been my experience that these types of call will continue as long as they can reach you and make you "feel responsible." I have been called at midnight, 3:00 in the morning, 5:00 a.m. They are heartless and persistent. They Don't Care if they are bothering you or interrupting you or waking you. They only want to dump their "STAT" problem on YOU and off their hands. Change your numbers, use an answering machine, or get a line just for work and don't answer it when you don't want to get those types of calls. Good Luck, I know they make you feel guilty if you say no. Just do what you feel is your honest share and let the "callers" worry about the rest of the jobs.

Nevermind - I saw your second post answering my question. sm
It might be video, but you might not have a video card because a lot of motherboards have the video functions (chipset) embedded on the board these days. If that's the case, it might need a new motherboard. Hopefully, you do have a video card that proves to be the problem and it turns out to be an easy fix.
Change voicemail/answering machine message
leave a message and you'll get back to them after work.
I was not answering MT school post but the one that happened to correct an error
they made on a post with this quote "that is verbatim. QAs are only human too." So you can mind your own business and STFU. Answer your own posts if you can't read the ENTIRE THREAD and understand what post my post is RELEVANT too. You are an arrogant QA person BTW who sits in judgement of posters and what is relevant or not. Just MIND YOUR BUSINESS.
I went to MQ web site where Frank is now answering questions. Looks like Frank
is running behind on his questions because they are last dated May 11.  Maybe he is in Hawaii?  
Would you mind ...
sharing that site with me? You can email me personally at kathy.eberle@gmail.com. I did get that very email and would like to know what everyone else has to say! Thanks!

Kathy
LOL! Never mind - I see it now.
I was sure it wasn't there a minute ago! 
Keep in mind, please......
That if a company has more than, say, 10 accounts, that the recruiters just might not KNOW how difficult an account is. When you get a requisition for account #67, there's no telling whether it's the best account on the planet, or the worst.
Don't mind
Actually don't mind the lower income right then, because I am selling my house and can afford to lose a little, knowing that after the first of the year or so I can get my line count back up.
keep in mind
In addition to the good comments made above you must also be aware that if you are going to a program that may upgrade occasionally and is not static you may well run the risk of losing your autotext entries.  If you are really good about backing up your files, good for you and no problems really, but if you are like the rest of us and forget more than you remember to back up .. you could have one horrible day when you see the file not convert or some such ugly thing!
If you don't mind (sm)
your money being used to support anti-reproductive choice terrorism, go ahead and join.
Please keep in mind
how good you are feeling since beginning the drug, and that all drugs are very individual in how they event anyone.  You really should not make a decision for yourself regarding some one's experience.  
Never mind...duh

Do you mind me asking...
what company do you work for and are they hiring? I have been an Editor for 15 years and am having a hard time find a good company to work for. Thanks
Please keep in mind that many
of the people on this site work at home. Some have forgotten (some never knew) how to interact with others in a courteous and professional manner.
Please keep in mind (sm)
that he will tell you anything you will want to hear. One thing I had to ask myself when I was going thru this was, is this someone that I would want my daughter married to? I repeated that question to myself any time I was tempted to "try again."
where at and of what...if you don't mind my asking...TIA (NM)

I have! You can do anything you set your mind to!
nm
There are many, but the ones that come to mind first are...
I love him because of the way he loves me. He's not fake, pretentious or condescending. He's funny, talented, and is a true gentleman in every sense of the word. Besides that, he's not afraid to go to the store JUST for a box of tampons ;) ... He's the absolute best and I've never been happier.
I do not mind either
Usually, if I am visiting at my mother's house and need to go online, I will ask but it is not a big deal & vice versa. But it all depends on what they want to use the computer for. When we ask each other to use the computer, it is always just to quickly look something up online & it never involves using that person's computer programs or going into their files or anything like that - just the Internet.
never mind!
was able to recover - Whew!
I don't mind .... sm

If young and older American men and woman love America so much that they are willing to go to a for foreign land to protect my liberties with their lives - I certainly will assume the responsibility of freedom for all by letting the government see who I call.  Frankly, my phone call list is very boring I am afraid. 


So to those who want to make a big deal over nothing (as long as you have nothing to hide), remember who is giving up . .  an easier way of making a living (so that you can sit back, fat and sassy) . .  an 8 hour work shift five days a week making far less than us (so you can make the money you feel you deserve and are entitled to). .  being separated from their families (while we are all getting ready to celebrate mother's day with our families) . . .all because of the love for OUR country and THEIR fellow citizens.


STOP - LOOK- LISTEN - Is it your brother, your father, your uncle, your sister, your mother, your aunt, your fiance, your neighbor, your life long friend? - we all are God's precious children. 


God Bless to all of our military and to you and your family - Pray for a United America.


 


 


I don't mind at all
If they do this and find terrorists in this country and can stop them before they do something else horriffic, I don't mind at all.
I don't mind at all
I think you have misunderstood my post. I was just saying that one MT might make $16,000 per year at 8 cpl and another MT might make double or triple that. Maybe even more. Being an experienced MT I know that it can depend on many factors, that is what I was trying to express. I'm sorry if you misunderstood.

Realistically, I don't think a new MT or even an experienced MT should anticipate $100K per year. So, if you still want my opinion, my guess would be that at 8 cpl, 40 hour week, you would probably make $30,000 to $35,000. Good luck!
I don't mind your asking--sm
as far as I know, they are still together. They got married one month after his financial obligation to me was ended. It took me a while to get over the anger, because I never even saw it coming, but I guess the anger was mostly at me, for letting myself get into that situation in the first place. I had to forgive him for what he did and the way he did it, and I had to forgive myself for being blind in the first place. I prayed alot and God took me through it. I give thanks every day for what He has given me in return. I AM happy though. Thanks for asking.
really do you mind
if I ask how productive you are with it?  Are you editing or transcribing or both?  What is a good hourly average lines per hour?  Thanks!
Oh, OK.....I did not know that, but ... please sm (if you don't mind)

If you are on a regular page in IE, say on this page rigth here, if you hit ctrl F3 do you get the productivity tools?  Maybe I am wrong in what my problem is.  When I try to log into Bayscribe from the log in page I get an error that says "No such Account.BPTVer = [].  My account has been checked by two others who can get it, but I can't. 


Thanks again!  It is so nice of you to try to help.  I very much appreciate it.


Paula


You can do it if you put your mind to it.

Check out this link - it shows you some samples!!!  Good luck!  I'm sure you could get the hang of it if you want it bad enough!
