Geriatric? :) I'm only 45 sm
I do "Word Not So Perfect" on 150 ZOOM now, just so I can see it WITH my glasses. I practically have to wear binoculars to do a spell check. :)
I always thought geriatrics were for the over 75 group, although I do have one doc that calls 35 "middle aged" and 62 "elderly." This guy also says: Patient is a 75-year-old RETIRED HOUSEWIFE. Okay, let me picture what HER house looks like since she "retired." Too funny!

Love psych notes. HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE,
HATE ER notes.
Make sure you find out what font and font size
.
Format, Font, pick the font you want,
click the Default button. It will ask if you want to change...say yes.
Ask what font, font size and margins are
Then you can figure out how many characters would be in a complete line of text. I am not sure if I am explaining this very well. :-( I worked for one place that had a small font size and small margins. So it did not work out for me as each line averaged closer to 70 characters, and there were not many lines that had only one or two words on them because of the set up.
I hate DocQSribe, I hate DocQScribe, I hate DocQScrbe, I hate DocQScribe, I hate DocQSribe.

I hate those but I hate trauma notes on children even more sm
I used to work for a large hospital that saw a lot of children for various horrible things.
The very last one I did was a 12yo boy who had hung himself while his mother was at work. She thought he was in school. The doctor cried, I cried (as I usually did) and I just couldn't handle that anymore. That was the longest report I swear. Short in lines but the length was almost an hour. The doc didn't pause the machine, she cried, horrible gut wrenching sobs, and I did too, right along with her.
I don't hate AAMT at all, ks. I don't hate
their book. In fact, I love the BOS2. It is not a regular grammar book at all - there are hundreds of issues in it that are point specific to MTing and medical field. I have dozens of regular grammar books, too, for other purposes, and they are not similar at all. I purchased the BOS2 when out job interviewing for a few months. Every single employer wanted me to have my own company, and they all tested off of it. Several used it in their daily work, and I have found it priceless over all. I think its even on sale now, but $89 is not a lot for a professional tool that we should use if required, or if a newbie. MTs who don't like to buy books are not very wise in the big picture. Its like shooting yourself in the foot.
YUP, huge fan!!!!

Font
only when using a method other than character count, such as gross lines or straight lines. Otherwise, size makes no difference (in transcription . . . LOL)
Font
Font has nothing to do with line count.
OMG, thanks!! That would be a huge (sm)
mistake personally for me, as I do not know how I would make out with the kids, and then to go through all that, train, and not have it work. Will look elsewhere. Thanks for the input!!
font changes
try selecting all text in the template, then while it is all highlighted change your font to what you want- then re-save template and that should do it
font changes
the easiest and surest way to make sure you are changing the entire template is to do go through edit and select all- this will pick up hidden formatting as well
Do you like the larger font?

Yes like the larger font. Thanks.

yes! like the large font

LOVE the new font...THANK YOU!
It's so much easier on middle-aged eyes.
Huge, I think it's small on my end (NM)

Guess I am, too. I don't like the big font at all. nm
tiny font
Something is wrong here. It sounds like this board shows up in huge font on YOUR end, but it is about an 8 font on my computer. The main board, job seeker's board, and compary board show up tiny for me, but the other boards look about 12-14 font, which is MUCH better!
font size
When paid by cpl, does it affect your line count if you type in a size 10 or size 12 font?
:::huge applause for you::: nm

DH is a HUGE fan! I watch only for him.

the SEP IRA is a huge deduction...
but I can't say that I've seen people frequently posting they take $10K in deductions. That also means they spent $10K. You may be imagining that. Maybe do an archive search and then try to repost and contact them? As has been frequently said on this post, the only difference between IC and SE is an IC pays another 7.5% self employment tax but then takes deductions. Don't see how that adds up to 10 grand.
I smell a huge rat
Is your husband up to no-good with this loser? First of all any "my baby's daddy" situation has scumbag written all over it. Second of all, if your husband doesn't mind being used by this lazy bum for a free place to live, he has to be getting something out of the bargain. I'd be doing some serious checking around if I were you.
Meanwhile, you're right to keep this piece of crap away from your kids. If your husband likes him so much let him live with this waste of oxygen alone.
Good luck.
Font size
I have an account and they did not indicate a font size - I know that it makes a big difference the more that you have bolded in a report - what would be a reasonable font size or the standard font size to use?
font does matter
if you are on a gross line account, like me, font does matter. I am "required" to use a 12 point font and no more or less, and it does make a difference in the line count...but then again, gross line ends up paying more than 65 character lines!
Font size
I have read with interest the thread on font size. Now I know why one company allows you to transcribe in one font and then it gets printed in another - which is much smaller - which does make it harder to get your lines. I thought that it was me - but could not understand until I saw what was getting printed and counted, as to why it was so difficult to get a good line count when I had always done so in the past. Is this not in some way misrepresentation? You see what looks like a nice report and then when it gets printed it is so small that you can hardly read it - this also messes with the end of your lines and sentences - where if you make a hard page break on what is on your computer screen it comes up as something different on the copied version on the other side. All of the info offered was good and this is a good point to make when looking at work - especially if you are new and do not know anything different. 
I think you would specify the font or renegotiate

change font
I have several accounts that use different fonts, one Arial 10, one Times Roman and one Univers and when I do my invoicing I just highlight and change the entire document to Courier 12. All the docs are aware that my cpl that I quoted was based on using the font Courier 12. I have never in 18 years been questioned or challenged on an invoce or line count. Easy enough to do. Takes 2 seconds to do it. Patti
font size
If you are counting by dividing characters by 65 characters, no matter what font you use it will be the same. However if you count by gross line -- line charge no matter how many words on a line you will lose money. But if it is by by every 65 characgers (including spaces) you could use an 8, 9 or 12 font and the charge will all be the same.
font size
Every place I've ever worked or worked for has a default font. You can have text on your screen set at newspaper headline size (like my MT friend who has macular degeneration) and it'll usually default to their 11- or 12-pt font. I'm sure every hospital or MTSO's software specs are different, though.
Font question
When I hold down the control key and scroll the mouse wheel to enlarge the font in EXText, does it change the way the document is seen once it's sent or is the change only on my desktop. Sorry but I'm very technically challenged. 
regarding smaller font
I will type in any size font that they want, use what ever margins that they want but when I do my line count I change the document back to Courier 12 and use my usual margins. I tell them up front that my charge per line is on Courier 12 with 1" margins on sides. No one has every questioned me for this. They can have as many characters they want on a line in whatever font that they want but not for my line count. Saves me on my sticky paper and so I don't care. But have been doing this for years and am very upfront about what my definition of a line is and yes I do gross lines.
Does anyone know how to change font
When I read web pages everywhere, the font is huge and I do not know how I ended up with it this way? Does anyone know how I change it? I have AOL.
Thanks!
font size
I think you just go under view and change the text size to whatever you want it to be.
FONT QUESTION
Do most services use a Times New Roman 12 font? I was told by the service I might be signing on with that I could not use Courier New 12. I use this font size due to my eyesight.
what is your font size set at??
The zoom feature will not affect the size of the printing font, but the font size will. Make sure it is at least 12.
So what if it's with huge templates....
600 lines an hour is 600 lines an hour whether it's straight typing or using templates. I WISH I had huge templates.
Anyone here Bayscribe? Have a huge ?
for you. When you hit SUBMIT and go into the spell check, and say there's a spelling error it picks up (for example, it's a medicine that I need to look up and verify), is there ANY WAY I can do this without having to completely close down the spell check, go to another window, look up the word, and then re-hit SUBMIT and spell check again?
I've still new to Bayscribe, but so far this has been a huge time eater-upper. For some reason it won't let me do anything but close up the spell checker, look up the word, and then re-spell check (and of course it doesn't remember any of the fixes I've already made so I need to go back through them again).
Ideas??????????? THANK YOU!!
Well there is already a huge thread...
Why keep it going and going? If you all are just now realizing that AHDI is against the MT, then have you had your head in the sand the past few years or what? Get a grip! Life is what you make it! This OP obviously wants to keep bringing it up and bringing it up blocking the entire board with this crap.
Font size
When I highlight the text it is in the font size I want, but when I insert the autotext it makes the font smaller.
The font has nothing to do with the length
of a line, that is set by the margins. A 65-character count line is a line, whether the line itself has 55 characters or 85 characters. It takes 65 to make a line.
Can you change the font??
I've been typing for this doctor for about ten years. He recently changed the email address where I sent my finished work, and is having some new girls put the notes in the chart. They just asked me if I could switch my font. I looked at a file, and in switching the font, I lost 300 lines. How would you handle this? My husband told me to tell them I'll send it and they can put it in whatever font the want it in. I know that may change the formatting somewhat and make it not look right. What the heck?!
I got rid of my HUGE desk...sm
i use a 20 inch widescreen laptop and i just ordered a very small rolling desk. i use wireless keyboard, mouse, and headphones. that way, I can roll my office outdoors when the weather is nice or in my bedroom or any place I will be comfortable as I suffer from chronic back problems.
You can't. It's a huge ripoff.
It sucks plain and simple. If you're not terribly interested in making enough money to pay the bills it might be okay for you. Not for me.
We have a huge 4 day celebration in our little town
There is something going on from tonight right through until the fireworks on the 4th. There is a street dance, a bean hole bean supper, a lobster bake and just tons of stuff going on.
Our town is only population 7500, but the celebration has grown to over 30,000 attendees for the 2 hour parade, followed by fun, games, entertainment and music in the park and then fireworks that start at 9:00 and last for hours. It's great fun!
I'm lucky too. I live just a mile from the festivities, so I'm home for a long time while people are still waiting in traffic. The traffic goes smoothly though. The events have always been very well organized with our school bus drivers giving free shuttle bus rides.
Happy 4th everyone!
Yes, a larger font would be more comfortable. Thx! nm
