She needs to compare the amount she is paid ($5.75/1000 words is less than $0.01 per word) by computing a line (in this case the example given was 65-characters with spaces) times a line rate (example of $0.08/line). Comparing the two results will help her to decide if she is being paid enough.

you've forgotten your own words! Your post above is 100% different "flavor" to it, now all positive and cheery! Your first post was 100% doom and gloom every which way, including "raining on your parade", and "if you want to go forward"...God, sounds like she's talking about jumping into oncoming traffic! Here is your quote:

My first boss (the one who hired me as a new grad) gave me some words of wisdom that I haven't forgotten. She said that transcribing at home with small children NEVER works under any circumstance. Either the work will suffer or the parenting will suffer.

****

How can the word "NEVER" in caps be interpreted in any positive way? You took about 8 paragraphs to cover every aspect and completely dash this poor woman's dream.  I'm not blind, I'm not talking about day care at all, I'm talking about the total negativity of your original post! You know exactly what I'm talking about, cause you added some sugar to your second version! And that's much nicer than the first!

your read my post that said we are all just people no matter what color we are?

I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.

I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?

Darn Microsoft.

I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.

I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000.  Has anyone done this or doing it now.  If so, have you run into any problems. 

I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company.    I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription. 

I am interested to hear any and all comments.  Thank you so much in advance for any help!

Has anyone upgraded from W2000 to W2003? If so, did all your autocorrect entries and normals transfer easily? I would like to upgrade but don't want 2 lose my shortcuts and expanders! TIA

If so, try this....Go to microsoft.com and search for Word 2000 Supplemental Macros.  When you get the article, it will tell you to download the small application.  You will open the application in Word, and it will give you instructions on backing up the macros you already have.  You will do this on the computer you want to move macros from.  Once you have made a backup copy, email it to yourself.  Go to the computer you want to put the macros on.  You will need to download the Word Supplemental 200 Macro application on this computer also.  Save the email you sent yourself on your desktop, and open the application in Word again just as before.  You will select restore and pick the file on your desktop to restore to.  The macro will do all of the work and transfer all of the macros into your new computer. 

Now, if this is not want you wanted....... never mind.....

I had also said, before the thread got moved and deleted that we are all people and that color shouldn't make a difference.  What it all comes down to is Dog Chapman is a prejudiced person and he got caught.  What his son did was wrong, but it still doesn't make Dog Chapman right. 

Regarding AAMT, I thought what one poster said about Dog getting paid 6 cents a line for being AAMTs "motivational" speaker was hilarious.  And, what on Earth did having him as a speaker have to do with MT????  Again, I thought it was a tremendously dumb move on AAMTs part.

has AutoCorrect, which is probably what you're meaning. When you program a macro, it records your Keystrokes and actions and is more complicated than what you're needing.

In Word 2003, type the word/phrase you want (i.e., degenerative disc disease) then highlight it. Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and your highlighted word should be in the "with" box. Type your shortcut (i.e., ddd) in the "replace" box. Click Add then OK. To use the new entry, just type what you put in the replace box (ddd). No other keys necessary. I would guess it should be about the same in Word 2007.

Hope that helps! Feel free to email if you have more questions...
