Make sure you have checked .dss file on your
x
I believe if you file an extension you do not have to pay now - sm
that is the whole point of filing an extension....BUT they nail you with interest and penalties for the late filing. So you might want to figure out what you are in for before you do an extension, or make sure you file quickly after April 15 to lessen the interest charges.
DSS is a file extension.

Sending and receiving voice files are all types is not dependent on the file extension but rather using a method that is compatible on both ends. Having said that, if you're both using the Olympus software (which plays back .dss voice files), check the Help files to see if there are detailed instructions on how to use that software to transfer voice and documents between the two locations. However, you are not limited to using their software. There are several methods that have already been mentioned in this message thread--winzip and FTP among them. It's important to make sure that whatever method you use, it's secure.


Email is probably not going to work for receiving the voice files since some voice files are so large that they are rejected by ISPs. Check on either a commercial site like mydocsonline, Files To Go, or the Mededocs mentioned. FTP options are sites likes FTP to Go or zftp.com. Do a Google search for FTP space to find more. There are also lots of free ftpsoftware programs out there to be used for the interface.


What is the sound file extension?

In other words, what type of sound file is it?  There are different sound file formats out there.  You may be able to play it in Express Scribe so you'd be able to use your footpedal.  It sounds as if you have your computer set to play certain sound files through QuickTime.  You're not using a Mac, are you?  Or do you have the PC version of Quicktime?


You can change the file association by single right clicking on the file, open Properties, then change Opens With by clicking the box to the right and selecting a different sound player.  Another way to do it would be to open Express Scribe (if that's what you're using, as long as it is compatible with your sound file type), then Open Dictation File and browse for the sound file.  Some of the sound files need patches from Express Scribe to be able to play, but the program and patches are free.


And yes, those companies that provide their lousiest dictation to test with are probably ones you wouldn't want to work for anyway, because the test file IS representative of the garbage they'll be pushing at you daily.  (Especially if you do really well on it!!!)


What file extension do this WP5.1 documents have?
If they're not saved as .doc, Word won't be able to search them; however, you can open them individually with Word.
The program is being determined by the file extension you're receiving. sm

If you're receiving a voice file that's opening automatically in MediaPlayer (which is what I think you're trying to say), then you will need to change the program that is automatically associated with that file type so that it will open the program you want to use.


The easiest way to do this is to open Explorer, locate the voice file, right mouse click on it and choose Properties. On the General tab in the first "block" where is says Opens With, click the Change button and then choose the program you want to use from the list that appears. This will change the program that opens ALL files with that extension.

Do you have the voice file type checked for

Make sure background repagination is checked on the General tab. nm

I believe you would need to make changes to the normal.dot file in Word.

There are two ways to do it.  You can open up your existing normal.dot file and change your view to 200% and then save it.  Or you can create a whole new normal.dot file with the settings you want, but if you do it this way, you have to find and delete the original normal.dot file.


Either way, every new document should be magnified to 200% and in whatever font you set the default as.


Ask him next time to start a new file and not make it so large.

Did you check and see what's checked or not checked in Preferences. Maybe something got messed up

Try changing the extension to .vox

COBRA is simply an extension of your sm
prior insurance, and you pick up whatever the company was paying, and pay all costs. COBRA extends you current insurance when you lose your job, but YOU pay all of the charges, same insurance, though.
Again, COBRA is not insurance, just an extension of sm
any insurance you currently have. So while COBRA may be cheaper that whatever, it is exactly what you have had with an employer, just YOU have to pay for it.

I cannot understand why people think COBRA is a specific insurance policy. IT IS NOT. It is a government policy that allows you to still maintain you current insurance, with you paying for it, for a certain amount of time.


Only one knee hurts, have trouble with full extension
so I learned how to work the foot pedal with the other leg. The more I keep my post surgical knee bent, the tighter the muscles coming into the back of the joint get. I have to stand and toe and heel stretch to work out the stiffness. Summer will be here soon and swimming does wonders for the knees...it always makes my flares go away.
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Check thru the Cooperative Extension programs in your state. Info might be there. nm

then, by extension of your logic, IS THERE a right career for this woman at this time? sheesh.

I think it is the same type of file, so rename it and replace your autocorrect file with your DQS us

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you


Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

I filed for an extension and paid nothing until August 15th. No penalty for that, just interest. nm

Identify the snake to your local cooperative extension agent and they'll tell you what to do, if

You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
an .exe file is not a voice file
I'm no techie, but it sounds like they might've sent the wrong file by mistake. Or could it be a program you need for testing/working for them that they sent? What is the name of the file (if it is something you can say here)?
It was $89 the last I checked, but...
you can pick them up at a much better price on eBay.  :)
I checked this but....sm
I couldn't find the medication any cheaper than the one local pharmacy that I'll be getting it from. Buying in 1-3 month supply didn't cut the cost more than 75 cents for the entire 3 month period, so basically not worth the hassle of multi-month purchasing.
Have you checked into
your local telephone company? I have my DSL service through my phone company and I only pay $20.00 a month for mine.
You should have this checked out!! sm
My uncle and his wife were living in a mobile home that had some water damage from a hurricaine. This causes mold to be inside the walls. She was sick for months with respiratory symptoms and cough - they finally found out about the mold problem. By then she had some sort of infection in her lungs and ended up on oxygen and eventually died. Please get this checked out! She and her family had to make the decision to turn off her respirator (she was conscious the whole time, just could not breathe on her own.) It was terribly sad.
Just checked on this
Spouse is on disability and wanted to go back to work. They told him he can work 9 months out of 5 years if he makes under 640. a month. If he makes over 640. a month working, then benefits stop sooner. There is information on their website.
thanks -I checked with my
local govt office yesterday and they said I needed a vendor's license.  Maybe I should just do a little more checking.
I just checked it out myself.
There is always someone out there trying to be funny. NOT. I reported that one too.
Thanks, I checked
and Comcast doesn't seem to have any numbers local to her.
I checked there
It completely disappeared. Unfortunately, I had the disk for the spellchecker when I worked for my first company and I don't have it any more. The tech said he'd put something different in my computer (I forgot what he called it). He has no idea what could have happened to it either. Thanks anyway.
Just checked again, and I'm sure
I guess it's kind of strange that there would be different variations. Maybe it depends on if it was pre-installed on a computer when you bought it or if it's a purchased version, or I'm sure there might be other things that could change the way different things look. I did go back and check again just now, and after the last comment, and I am sure that under the 'view' tab, if I click on 'outline', I have empty white squares.
Who knows? At any rate, at least the OP was able to use everyone's suggestions to find and the problem on their end.
I checked the archives and there isn't much on TRS.

Get your magnesium checked
I used to grind my teeth and nothing helped. When I had a physical, a wonderful physician mentioned that a couple of my symptoms (including bruxism) sounded like a magnesium deficiency. After taking a supplement a couple of weeks, the grinding stopped and has never returned.
Checked out your website and it looks like
But the Red Cross has actually done it, and that makes all the difference.
Have you checked with the school he goes to?
I know that some of the colleges my daughter has applied to offer health insurance, although she will be going full-time. I'm not sure if he would qualify, but its worth a look!
Have you checked the Job Board
If you go under Careers, then Job Bank, there is a company from Canada needing MTs.  I don't remember the name, but the ad is not very old (within the past week).    
Maybe have your thyroid checked? sm
A malfunctioning thyroid can cause those symptoms, I think. I used to work with a gal who was always freezing and slept alot and doc said her TSH was almost zip. He put her on Synthroid and she felt a lot better.
If OP had checked the archives on any of these
companies she would have found all the info needed.  I've posted in minute detail many times about SS when asked, so the information is there. 
Have you checked out Flylady.net?

Thanks, I checked the strength
and dosing, and you are correct.
I checked it out recently (sm)
If I weren't already in my senior year of college and on a different path, I'd definitely check it out. The average income was something like 45K (salary.com).

I'd not worry about competition. MT is considered hard for newbies to break into, but we did that, didn't we? Where there's a will, there's a way.

I'd definitely consider it if I were you. Frankly, getting out of the house sounds really nice to me.
You haven't checked around much then.
Spheris' top accounts pay 10.2 cpl base plus incentive and differential for acute care work.

My current national employer pays me 10 cpl base plus incentive and differential for acute care work.

That's 2 that I can personally vouch for.
I just checked it out and it looked like (sm)

a "return to work" site to get people off disability and working.


They want you to sign up with a state worker to help you with vocational rehabilitation and get you back to work?  That's what I read.  And also they want you to work 30 hours a week with the telephone jobs.  That would be almost full-time, persons on permanent disability are not allowed to work that much.


I checked out the link and...sm
It does not even contain anything in regards to the message I posted, therefore I do not believe it has been found to be just an urban legend or flat out lie. However, I did state in my original post that I did not know if it was true, just passing along information I received...this link does not disprove what I posted, sorry!
