i use hypersend to send them or you could use a free FTP site. nm
`
Send the file to them via hypersend as it has tracking. sm
You can see exactly when they picked it up and have proof of it. Then you can charge them for every resend you have to do (with proof of unnecessary resend).
Maybe I will send it back.
Yes, maybe that's what I will do!! Tell them that they might need it more than me when all the lawsuits are over.
Wouldn't you love to send it back and say
"and it's a good think you use YOUR spellchecker, Ms. Boss Lady!"
I've gotten these kinds of emails numerous times and it steams the heck out of me.
Why can't you send the notes back by email
them in the hospital? That's what I used to do. Zipped and encrypted the files and they received and printed them at the hospital.
Template question. Somehow this morning I saved the date and patient name into my template? I have t
deleting the date and patient name and resaving as a template but everytime I reopen the template the date and patient name are still there. Anyone know how to delete them so that they come up blanks again???? Thanks.
DH ordered it and I made him send it back unopened
I think that was 2005 edition - using 2004 which I found at the time (2004-2005) not to have a lot of the drugs and actually Google and the many, many drug sites were more helpful. Agree with Wise below.
Had it both ways. Send it back the cheapest way and eat the cost. You don't want to be fighting f

I would just supply one digital copy, either send the work back
via an FTP site or email attachment or whatever, or keep addending to a CD, but let them keep their own archives. And why can't they print when you deliver the CD or the work in digital format? I don't do any printing at all. Everything goes back digital and they keep their own copies. Once I bill for the month, everything gets deleted, as it should be under HIPAA.
Just say it's not going to work out, quit, and send the stuff back. Not like you'll be using t
s
save the emails and send them back when the corrections are inconsistent.

Create your template (save as a template) and use - sm
Control-F9 to make your empty field (as they call it); a set of {} will appear. Save the file, the brackets will not show unless you set it to show the field codes. To jump from {} to {} use F11. You can also preformat the {} with fonts/bold/caps, etc. Have fun.
Hypersend
 Thanks for all the responses so far. Does anybody use Hypersend?
Thank you, it is Hypersend that I was looking into
using. I notice that you recieve free deliveries and only pay to send email out. If that is true, then it would be worth getting.
Thank you!! 
hypersend problems anyone? sm
I have had problems with hypersend all day today. anyone else?
Hypersend substitutes?
I was told Dropchute Lite is no longer available and was never HIPAA-compliant, so have to drop that option.
I have Cutezip, but it is no longer available for sale. They want to use Winzip.
I would like to find something that is simple to use and inexpensive, as I have to pay for this for my clients. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I LIKE THESE NEW FEATURES!
    Especially the colors! It's fun to experiment!
what features do you lose?
I think it's the program I want but what would I lose? TIA
The same features are all there but in different places because
of the new ribbon. If you were productive in an older version, you would be just as productive in 2007 once you learn your way around the new layout. Almost all of my old keyboard shortcuts still work in 2007 so I don't fool with the ribbon all that much. I toggle it off most of the time because it's so huge and takes up too much room on my screen.
Are you sure your trial version isn't fully functional? Maybe your trial time has expired?
You can set up IT to work like SH, but then you lose some of the features. (sm)
I switched from SH to IT, wasn't sure I liked it at first, and there's still a few things I don't like, but I'm sticking with IT.
Choosing from a list isn't as bad as it sounds, because you can use the same abbreviation for more than one thing, which is nice. It also has a "finish it for me" feature where you start to type something and it will suggest the rest of the sentence or whatever, and just hitting a key will type it in for you!

AutoCorrect and AutoText are two different features. Which one... sm
is causing the problem? Both features save to different files unless you are formatting an AutoCorrect with italics, bold, or more than one line, which is also saved to the normal.dot (normal.dotm in 2007). Plain text AutoCorrects are in the acl file.
Then that makes the "wonderful" features of IT worthless.
IT takes so long to get used to using that increase is production you may eventually get is not enough to cover for the money you lose while trying to learn the program. If you have to memorize everything, you might as well use Autocorrect.
Shorthand is much better and easier to use.
Very nice features, compared and love it.

love val kilmer too. he is quirky and funny and adorable. sensuous features.
love him, love him, love him. in interviews and in movies.

Well, I love some Autocorrect features--best thing about Word-- and I backup *.acl file---so I never lose it. Just replace it in the Windows folder (copy and paste my newest backup *.acl file--which I copy once a day--into the Windows folder on the C:drive). takes less than a minute, never "lose" Autocorrect anyumore. For years I did, though, before I figured out where it was. Just search for *.acl on your computer and copy the file that comes up as owner.acl or whatever you named your computer-- and then put it on the desktop as the backup file, jsut make a folder or whatever, newest backup acl-- along with Normal.dot-- and copy these once a week onto a disk.
I just opened Word, opened the template and saved it as a Word template. nm
Word AutoText, AutoCorrect, and Spellchecker, and other Word features
I have just started working for a company that uses Word (my previous experience was HTML-based and had its own autotext and spellchecker).
I have never bought medical spellcheckers nor Instant Text, especially that I have learned a lot from posters here that one could use the autocorrect feature for long words/phrases/paragraphs/templates. I have heard of people saying autocorrect was not meant to be used for such.
I have been browsing some features of shortcuts in Word (using the Assistant), and have discovered that it has AutoText. I tried it by highlighting a whole document (canned procedured), then hit Alt+F3, assigned a code, and voila! I have a template that readily inserts into an open Word document by typing the code and hitting Enter.
Also, I have learned that I can insert empty fields (for variables in my templates like BP/HR/RR/Temp values by hitting Ctrl+F9, then when I have inserted the autotext for a template with such empty fields, I can readily jump from one field to the next (to fill them up with values) by hitting F11 (or Shift+F11 to go to previous empty field).
We do know that many dictators want us to type verbatim even for running sentences, so that I have found the Spelling and Grammar checker feature of Word quite cumbersome. I discovered tonight that I could use just the spellchecker feature by clicking on Tools > Customize, then under Categories, select Tools; under Commands, select Spelling. I dragged that onto my tool bars so I can do a quick spellcheck. Cool thing was, the previous documents I have made with new drug names, etc., which I have spellchecked using a non-Word program, were automatically included in its database (so I do not have to re-enter them as I begin to utilize this feature). Drawback: I could not make a shortcut key for this (have to use the mouse again!)
Then I made my OWN keyboard shortcut for autocorrect by going to Tools>Customize>Keyboard (click on button then another window appears), Under Categories, choose Tools; under Commands, choose AutoCorrect. Under Press new shortcut key, assign the shortcut you want (F key, Alt or Ctrl + desired key), then click on Assign button.
Well, that is all I can share for now. I have learned a lot from posters here, and I hope I have added some info, especially for Word users like me who can be categorized as average.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
Have had cut in pay due to template
use now required that will not be included in line count. It is a clinic job, part time, 12 cpl. I have done this for one year. But, in last 30 days, the clinic has created a temple of the normally used sentences the physician uses (I had them programmed into auto correct) and now, I am not paid for them.
Now, I am making considerably less money and am half hearted about getting the work done. I suppose I need to quit this job. I have essentially been demoted.
I work FT as well with a national and this PT job was a back up so my eggs were not all in the same basket. I guess I could try to replace it with another PT job.
Any comments would be welcome as I feel ambivalent to quit for some reason...
Thank you.
template
I hope this answers your question. After you paste, there is a little suitcase that appears, there are options there, click on the little options arrow, and choose the correct option, this will change the font to match what is there.
Just put it in your template. That way you don't need to SM
type a keystroke.
Template
If you type for the same doctors over and over, you can make a template, as they tend to say pretty much the same thing every time, at least for PE and ROS. Then you just insert the template and make changes as necessary.
template
It seems to be a lot of template. I wonder if this is the reason for the lower price per page. Don't know.
Template
Send me your e-mail address and I'll send you a copy (PDF) of the Meditech template.
Jeff Smith
Even if you use a template, you still have
to listen to the report and make any changes. A lot of them do say the same thing over and over, but you do have to change the report when something different is dictated.
template cpl
Never heard of such! There must be a fancy new program out there that can tell the difference between expanded words/phrases in a traditional report. What a bummer! 3 cpl usually pertains to VR lines/templates.
Can you help me with MSWord Template? SM
Hi everyone! I'm working on about 20+ reports by the same doctor. I have a template that I saved for him under MSOffice, Templates, his name. In the past, I've been going to explore (right clicking on the start menu) and physically pulling up the template for each and every report.
Is there a way I can just open the template once. Finish the first report and then automatically when a new Word document opens it will open that template?
Thanks,

Working from a template
This is my first week of working inhouse for one doctor with a small staff. I'm the first inhouse Transcriptionist they've tried. The doctor uses a template to pick phrases and words from a standard form with bolded text and then I delete those not needed for report, un-bold, re-format and save as. This is taking a long time for me to figure out and ensure I've selected the correct one and not take out too much, etc., especially on the initial evaluation. I've just typed from recorded dictation before (about 7-8 years altogether). How can I use quick keys or something similar to make this more efficient? Number system for certain phrases? I know I'm expected to do this quicker so I can help with the other office tasks, because have to keep a record of my finished reports for each day. I'm an experiment, I feel!
Incidentally, I've just figured out the office manager (male) and the doctor (female) are husband and wife! Yep, I'm slow! Any suggestions for handling this? So far, they have been very professional, but a family relationship work environment would not have been my first choice for a job. Everyone--so far--I work with is great and I want very much for this to work!!
Thanks!
document is a template
I am using a different computer in my house because my main one crashed. I had new templates sent to me, but when I open them to use them they have all of these arrows and paragraph symbols everywhere! Thanks for any help
Letter template
Do a hard return after the letterhead section and after the centered section. Hope this works. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Can anyone please help me with a Word template? SM
I am going to try to make sense, here.
I am trying to make a template for a new client I was just given by my MTSPO. my template is a bunch of letters. At the top is typical letterhead. They want this starting at 1" from the top. Then below will be the rest of the letter. They want this centered on the rest of the page. Right now, since I am just making a template to fill in, I have the date line starting at the 3 in. line, the RE: starting at the 3 in. line, Dear: at the left margin, and a couple other sentences and closing and cc line and such. This is already on the template so that I just fill it in when I am transcribing. They will dictate 18-20 of these, all in a row, so I do one letter and then just move on the next page to fill in to create another letter, so on and so on. Does that make sense? I am trying to make a template for this.
Here is the problem I am having with trying to get my template set up. I can get it set up so that the letterhead is one inch from the top. But then when I go in to center the rest of the text on the page, I have problems. I click to hilight the body of the letter. I go into file, page setup, layout, vertical alignment, center, center selected text.
It moves everything I hilighted to the next page!
If I go in and repeat that process but don't select "selected text", then of course it centers everything, which then moves the letterhead on every letter below my first one.
I need, on every page of my template, for the letterhead to stay at 1 inch and the body of the letter to be centered on the rest of the page, but then for the letterhead on the following page to be back at 1 inch. Any ideas how to accomplish this?
 I am SO frustrated. I am going to be up all night if I can't get this accomplished!
Keyboard template
If you would like a copy of the Meditech keyboard template, which has all of the formatting keystrokes, send me your e-mail address. I'll send it in PDF format.
Jeff Smith
I have tried that. It is a template that has been made
x
Create a template.
Create bookmark names (patient, date, etc.). Put a cross-reference to those bookmark names where you want them to appear in the document. Save the template. Now, when you open the template, create a new document, fill in the patient name, date, etc. and mark with the appropriate bookmark. When you're finished with that, hit F9 and it will update all fields.
Both bookmark and cross-reference are found under Insert; cross-reference is a subcategory of Reference.
Template in Word
My company sent me a template. How do I convert that and save it in Word so I don't have to retype it all the time?
ltrhd template
Do you have to create their ltrhd or do they provide ltrhd and you need to format your text accordingly?
Do you have Word 2003 or 2007?
Template "pay"
Tell them this: Transcriptionists have to be smart enough to know when to use the template and when to remove parts of it, when to question if it should be used at all for a particular report. They also must be smart enough to create it, maintain it and smart enough when to let the doctor know when his style changes so as to "update" the template.
Also tell him that you drive both ways to pick up and deliver, you are his "clerk" evidently and print his work, probably print envelopes and fax, and save his work correctly for his use or recall on your computer. All these things would cost him money too if he had to pay for them separately. Call around in your area and find out how much a courier service would be to pick up and deliver. Time how long the "clerk things" take. Clerks in my area earn approximately $10.00/hour. Find out how much the going rate is for archiving with timely backups and "free reprints."
I too have an account where I too pick up, deliver, where they use archaic tapes (against my will), and expect me to archive all their work, print reports, envelopes, and fax. In general, I am their secretary. They pay me well for this service and I give them a good product. I have told them I would be glad to lower my rates if they would please go digital. The doctor says no digital because he "does not trust it" and "does not want to learn it." I said fine, and when your tapes break then from now on you will pay to have them re-spooled (in my area it is 85.00 to have one done). It has since happened and they paid. If he forgets to change his batteries and the tape is horrible he has to re-dictate it. He does. So, if they want to pay you for your services fairly and quit complaining then stay there. If they whine and badger you then I say tell them to knock it off or you will leave and find some other client who will appreciate you and your work and be willing to pay you the going rate without politics. Some things in this life are just not worth it and this may be one of them.
Remind them too of how much you could type and earn if you did not have to pick up and deliver. In my case it is about $50.00 worth. I recently raised my rate because of high gas prices. You should do the same when you need to and feel no guilt. They don't feel guilty when they send you the bill for an office visit where you were seen for five minutes and they charge $150.00 and you are an established patient, do they now?
If this was on a template that you had created--sm
or if it was sent to you, you can open the template, change the view percent, save the document that way, and it should reopen in the new view percent.
template stalling
I have a template which the docs like. My problem is it stalls at times and does not keep up WI my typing. When i backspace to erase it goes very slow. There is nothing wrong wi the template itself, as that has been checked out. Also, my computer has plenty of memory. It just happens wi this one template and none of the others. Any ideas??
slow template
I had this happen once. I never did find the cause or the solution for the template itself, but I did find one trick that worked for me. I put the template into autotext and used it that way. I would open up a blank document and then pull it in from autotext. Hope this helps.
template moving..help please..sm
I could use any help from someone more savvy than I am in regards to the making the template not move.
I was given a letterhead that I now need to put headers in. The need to be lined up like this:
PATIENT NAME: @@ DOB: @@
PHYSICIAN: @@ MR#: @@
No matter what I try, I can not fill in one field without the other field moving over. It is so time consuming to have to back it up each time considering there are four fields each side.
Any ideas?
The form I need to make this on has their header with log and the footer with their names and the like, so I have the inside of a template so to speak, to work in.
thank you for anything to help.
Tiffany
