You may not need all that MPWord offers.

I've looked at MP Word several times myself and it just more than I need, although in a different setting/situation, I may need all the options. If you have a choice and you have MS Word available to you, you will be fine. You should have an encryption method available to you; WinZip offers encryption with it's Pro version, about $50.
Just something else for you to consider.

MPWord ??????? see msg
MPWord - helpful or not. I am currently set up in Word with Instant Text. Would MPWord help me any? Can you use or import your glossaries from Instant Text into MPWord? What about making your own templates and default settings such as font, tabs and format?
Does anyone know exactly how the fax options works?
Thanks, Mis
MPWord
Love it!!
As a moderate sized transcription service, we have found MPWord to be an absolute lifesaver for our clients and our transcriptionists with maintaining consistency in production. Support was phenomonal when setting up our first client, creating our crazy customized templates, and Vann Joe is always there for support.
The system has been very easy to use from an MTSO perspective, and very each to teach to our remote MTs. It also integrates becautifully with our Audiworxs voice management system as well.
This has definitely been one of the best investments we've made in my 35 years in business.
MPWord?????
You can convert your InstantText entries, and making a template is as easy as typing a document. I prefer to type my header and footer info on the document and then cut and paste into the header/footer sections on Page Setup. Set tabs, font, margins, etc on Page Setup(using Ctrl+Shift+H for shortcut to Page Setup seems to be quicker for me) and then paste the header/footer info into their respective places on Page Setup. If you've cut and pasted the sum of header AND footer info into the Header or 1st page Header section, you can cut and paste the 2nd page header and/or footer info from there to the other Header/Footer sections. When you have whatever info you need where you need it, click OK and it takes you back to the document. Then, type your document with codewords (a list is included in the Help File) and save it as a template into your formats file. Then when you type the info on the demographic screen, any info you typed will be inserted into the document in the correct place, spelled correctly including correct ages and pronouns, and you just transcribe the variable info; conversely, you can put everything you can possibly think that this dictator uses on a given type of report on a specific template and just listen and transcribe and/or edit your document as you listen to the dictation. Soooo much faster this way!
MPWord?
I've been using it since it was MedPen2. I love it. Never had a question or problem that Vann Joe could not talk me thru in a couple of minutes. Of course there is a learning curve like anything else; but it actually took me LESS time to learn than the nuances of re-learning MSWord or WordPerfect, or having to go back to WP51 required by some MTSOs out there, and it does SO MUCH MORE!. I will never use anything else again!
MPWord
I use this product extensively from home and have been doing so for over 2 years now, and I find it fabulous. It is very user friendly, and should you have any questions at all, the developer of the program and his staff are extraordinarily prompt and attentive to helping you in any way they can. I strongly recommend it.
MPWord - anyone use or know anything about
Will be working independently for physicians' office. Need advice on email/fax encription programs that would meet HIPAA guidelines. Outlook features encryption, would it comply?
MPWord
Absolutely. I can't say enough good things about Van Joe and his program!! You can't even begin to imagine the time it saves just by not having to name the file. I personally would NOT work without it!
If MPWord is a little more than you need
I have never used MPWord, but wish I would have purchased that now instead of Smartype although I do love it. I currently use MPLite and cannot imagine ever being without it. The OP is right when they said how much time it saves just not having to name files! Not to mention the patient database. Vann Joe is the best and you will not find better customer service!
MPWord/MTSO
I have been using MTSO and MPWord for quite some time now. I love the program and Vann Joe. Any questions I have he has answered and walked me through templates and other issues. The program is one of the greatest programs that we have invested in over the years.
How long ago was this? I know MPWord to work quite well for me.

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.

MPWord user comments
Hi,
As the author and publisher of MPWord / MPLite / MPTools I will state categorically that each and every user comment that we have posted on the various pages of the website are actual comments we've received.
(We do have more to post, including about the new MPLite, but posting those will have to wait till there is time.)

MPWord current users - good and bad?
One of my accounts want each pt in an individual file and this looks like a great answer. I've searched the archives and found nothing negative about this program, only positives. I downloaded the free trial and it looks pretty simple.
Is anyone currently using the program? Do you like it? Are there any negatives? Any helpful info to start with?
Thanks!
MPWord has been around for years. It is HIPAA compliant and a
contact Vann Joe and ask him questions. He is a very open and honest person.
Anyone with comments on MPWord? Like, dislike, easy to learn and use? nm

:O)
Yes, yes and yes!!! I had so many offers...
after I graduated that I was shocked! The standard 2-year experience requirement was waived by every company I contacted.
Yes, M-Tec is totally a self-paced, self-study program, but there is also incredible 1-on-1 instructor support. The program is very comprehensive and definitely not easy but well worth every penny!
If you want a career as an MT, you can't go wrong with M-TEC. 
CPL offers
are usually set in motion by what the MTSO is receiving in pay from the facility. As a small MTSO, I am very much restricted by what the facilities are willing to pay me as a vendor. It is an unfortunate circumstance, but it is a sign of the times. There are MTs willing to the work for 8 CPL, and if not, the Nationals outsource it overseas. I think that sums it up in a nutshell....It is a shame, but it is where the industry has gone of late. EMR, VR and outsourcing cutting into what a MTSO can get from the facilities for line rates. Sad but true....I hope you find what you're looking for. 
I am not a CMT and I get job offers all of the
much unless you like having initials after your name. It is not like you can put it on your reports. XXX/xxx, CMT - can you? So no one but the company you work for (who probably doesn't care) and you will know... nobody else. Most CMTs complain they aren't compensated enough anyway, so who gives a hoot? The only benefit I see is having initials after your name, which unless you are in this field, who knows what that means? Sounds important, but to have to pay hundreds to test and then to fail only to have to pay hundreds to take it again????? I'd think that one over and over and over and over... JMO. A penny more a line??? Just seek out your own account and you'll make lots of extra pennies per line... believe me!
It is only because no one offers that anymore

I don't think anyone offers PT MTs benefits - sm
at least I have NEVER heard of any. I don't think I have ever even heard of any PT job that had benefits. All you can do is start making phone calls to said companies and ask them. Good luck.
Just because someone offers their opinion,...
and it differs from another's, does not make it negative. You didn't hear what you wanted to hear in my responses, but that does not mean I am being negative toward you. I just think you need to do your own work. Asking for help is one thing, and asking for a handout is entirely different.
When you take on too much work. Getting 2 PT job offers plus have FT with national (sm)
Two local doctors offering me 2-3 hours per day each, plus the FT (about 6 actual hours of typing a day) with a national.
One doctor is orthopedic, the other vascular surgeon (H&Ps in office). One is a mumbler, the other has a lisp. The national job is radiology (fairly easy - would be faster if I could master IT, though).
What should I do? Am afraid I will take on more than I can handle and at same time, refuse a job that I later will regret. I need the money, needless to say. Anyone ever face this?
I wonder if the state where you live offers
In Georgia they do have this, and a person who is convicted of a felony and completes the sentence requirements then has their rights restored, such as voting and the ability to officially answer "No" when asked about a felony conviction. Supposedly the information would not be available to a potential employer and most others, though I believe some are still privy to the information.
Does anyone know if IT offers a trial period? sm
From the comments on this post and the post I placed yesterday, I am convinced I would like to try IT. I hate to spend $189 though and not like it but I do not see on their web site where they offer a money back trial period. Also, do you know if you download it and have it immediately or if it comes in the mail? Thanks to all who have offered their opinions, it really helps!
Whoa, are you blessed! You see offers out here for 6-8 cpl
s
Only do Free offers - no cc needed!
Take a look at my blog again - even in free offers they are trying to sell you something, you simply say "No Thank you". Also, I included a couple of links that are how-to guides. E-mail me if you need more help or visit the forum. Best wishes!
For Iowa their 12 cpl is good. IHP usually offers...
11 cpl to contractors. If you're from Iowa IHP should be one you recognize, their statewide.
The local service in Waterloo, pays their MTs 6 cpl, ridiculous. Hospitals paying hourly are still around $9 hourly.
It's the midwest, for those others who don't know but cost of living is nothing near other areas of the country.
Personally, I work for a national on the east coast and make 10 cpl employee status, far better than anything I've seen in my home state.
Have 2 job offers, one pays 9 cents per 65...sm
character line and the other 11 cents per 85 character line. I am not sure how to figure the difference so am not sure which might be the better offer line rate wise. I would SO appreciate some help!
MQ offers PT employees benefits
You have to work 24 hours a week to be eligible. I don't carry the insurance, so I don't know much else about it, but I'm sure if you read through the MQ board, someone on there will mention it and you can email them.
2 separate companies/offers
x
Medgarde offers PT and just noticed that they ask if you own Lanier.
nm
Obviously, she can or the offers wouldn't be coming out of the woodwork.
I've been turning down offers lately, too.
The place I work already offers 800 numbers for all
inside accounts and most outside accounts as well. Not all are not good to the MTs.
U.S. offers them medical school at a discount
if they remain in the country and practice in out of the way places for a period of time before returning to their country or to a higher wage earning position within the medical establishment.
This is cool...ShortHand offers monthly SM
subscriptions. I have a free trial right now and was worried I wouldn't have the whole $99 after my trial, but I can buy a subscription and save for another month! That's so cool! I didn't know they did that. Didn't know if others knew, so thought I'd share. :)
Chickadee
Have you seen: Internship offers 3cpl on Job Seekers Bd?
Even as an intern, that should be considered criminal. I don't understand what some companies are thinking when they do that sort of thing.
Just a thought.
Bytescribe offers a 14-day trial (DocShuttle).
xx
Stedman's offers 1/4ly now? Didn't know that. Love it anyway! nm
s
I received 2 job offers from posting here just last week.
I agree... lots of flexibility offers
This is not the only field that offers flexibility or work from home status. Congrats on your raise! It's nice to know someone else likes this line of work....
Switch offers free trial so can see if it is what
x
Stedman's offers great discounts, too..
x
Cardioscribes offers insurance and 5 days PTO to their ICs. nm
nm
My homeowner's carrier offers business riders, but
it's only additional liability in case one of my clients gets injured on the premises, and then a computer equipment rider.
Turbo Tax on the internet offers all this and no software has to be bought
I have used it for years and you save your whole return at the Turbo Tax site. I love it.
Here's a link to a co that offers unlimited business for $30 per month. sm

Is there a college in your area that offers training for x-ray techs?
If so, go to the college bookstore and check out the textbooks they have for the x-ray tech courses. There should be lots of good information there.
If you have any anatomy books, study them, not just the major bones, but the landmarks on the bones like the greater and lesser trochanter of the femur, tibial spines, things like that. Also study the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the shoulders, wrists, knees, and ankles. MRIs cover a lot of that.
There are a lot of online anatomy sites if you don't have any books of your own, or you can check with your local library.
Good luck! Radiology is a great field. I love it.
Does anyone know of a site that offers Free dictation samples? n/m
Thanks.
