receiving it. She is not *obligated* to send a receipt back. most people choose not to. they do not HAVE to. and I doubt her email is encrypted for HIPAA compliance.

Why not use the receipt function in OE?
She would have to acknowledge the receipt of your emails (which I hope are encrypted for HIPAA compliance) and that would send a clear message that she is responsible for keeping the file on her end. I also would state that once I receive payment for work submitted to her, you delete those file (whether or not you actually do), but it will help her see she has to accept responsibility for running her business like a business.
This used to happen to me all the time and that was how I handled it. After the office caught on, I only had to resend files perhaps once every 3-4 months.
you can use incredimail to get the receipt function, works with most normal emails by popping or how
to send the work to her, that way you have a receipt basically that it is sent and when she picked it up. it is crypted and doesn't take long to send and/or use. it is free download at hypersend.com. the free part does have a limit to how much can be sent a month, but i use several accts and swap when i run out of room. i had a company that didn't go through the MTSO to request resends, they went through me. i finally had to start billing. i billed 0.25 for every resend and it took my time to locate the file they wanted, attach, and resend for free. i didn't mind when it was occasionally, but to us time is money and when it takes away from your production, you should be compensated.
Good for you! You sound like a very nice and generous person and you deserve all your good luck! nm

no, you are NOT a sucker - you are a good person
There is always a story behind a story isn't there? The little girl desperately needs some psychological help and I hope she lives in a state that will provide it, if her father doesn't have insurance.
She is hurting big time.
You are a wonderful person to hold out your hand in friendship like that - I envy your neighbor. Good luck to you all.
If you think $14 is good then you must not have been a QA person for very long
That is not good. I make much more than that per hour doing QA. Be careful too because I hear they also do not pay on time.
be a good little person and get off Mom's puter

I don’t think I would hold yourself as a good person
and putting God into the subject (you said above you gave to the church- I find that questionable, doubt you attend church and if you do not doing you any good)- back to the subject though- you are a devious person who probably would stop at nothing to get what they want, including knocking folks off for their insurance money.
You're a good person Paulette
and your mother is lucky to have at least one child who is willing to take responsibility and help her. Not that many years ago, extended families were the rule and not the exception. The truth of the matter is that unless a parent dies early, someone (be it a child, grandchild, or an institution) will probably have to take care of that parent (or parents) emotionally, physically, psychologically, and financially. For most of us, our parents cared for us when we were children and when they age the tables turn. I have 2 sisters who are willing to help with my mother but they live in other states and have no plans to move back to our hometown or homestate. Thus, I will be the one who becomes the caretaker.
I think you will have to sit down with your one brother (and his wife if he is married) and ask them for help that is on a more regular basis. Or, alternatively, just call him when you need him to help. Maybe he will get that hint (though he is male and hints go by undetected!).
I hope you find the relief and assistance you need. Take heart in the knowledge that you are doing the right thing.
I totally agree. He's a very good-hearted person. nm

Finally a good answer to this person's question--sm
I am always stunned at how insensitive and rude some people can be in their answers and some of those below prove that to be the case. Try to remember that not everyone is like that, although it seems to be otherwise sometimes, on this board. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide to do!
It irritates me no end when a person who supposedly has good sense
to act like a horse's behind. I have tried explaining to an elderly relative I do not put a physician on a pedestel like they do because they are not almight and some downright ugly. The 1 you speak of has no "bedside" manners- the nerve of him! I had a physician tell me 1 time-after giving his word and then rescinding- only your word against mine - I then reminded him of my father's saying- a person is only as good as their word. Erks me big time.
Sounds like a good indicator of a domineering person
Probably best you avoided her, even if she is good.
The top talent isn't always worth all the fluffing it takes to get them to sit down and do their job! lol
Oh good grief! No way. The only Dixie I know of is a forensic medicine person...
not a former bank manager. Maybe there are 2 of them.
Return receipt sm
Years ago (many) I would have put the address, either block form to the left or tab to the middle for semi-block form and under the SUBJECT: or RE: line, I would have put Certified Mail No. 112233 or Registered mail # 112233 and then "return receipt requested" on that same line or underneath. If there is no subject, put it before the salutation. Today, I probably would put it under the initials at the bottom of the letter, in block form, just because I would like the appearance of it better, i.e.,
Sincerely yours,
(4 spaces)
Melissa M. Anonymous
MAM (or the dictator's initials and then yours)
Sent via certified mail #112233 - 3/9/06, return receipt requested.
I don't think it really matters. If you don't have a # yet, just put "Sent via certfied mail 3/9/06, return receipt requested." Don't take my word for it though, unless you don't find any samples, this is just my 2 cents.

I don't like those return receipt reqsts
I don't like those return receipt requests, unless business related, (I have 2 friends who did this a lot in outlook express but one has stopped requesting them per my spewing off about it and the other has not), as when I respond to their email, THAT's the confirmation that I received their email. If I didn't receive their email or vice versa, usually the system's "mailer daemon" will notify you in any email (keyword is usually).
Though I will say, my daughter sent me an email to yahoo that I NEVER got just a week ago. Guess that one got lost in cyberspace. *L*
Get one, save receipt, and if not happy with it,

In addition to your credit card receipt you should
get a printout of your payment and if they don't offer it, ask for it. Be sure to check right away that they are showing you paid and if you have a receipt your payment was put in the system, which should eliminate this issue in the future.
Billing an insurance company will give the insurance company a good laugh and will probably create further problems.
MANY reasons to request a read receipt -
One of them is that someone claims to not receive your e-mail when everyone else in the world does. I finally figured out the person I was e-mailing was playing games. SO, not everything has to do with being a control freak.
Is there a way to get a read receipt back from someone who has web mail?
I seem to only be able to see if someone has actually opened up a mail I have sent with a read receipt attached if they have certain types of e-mail accounts. Is there a universal way I can do this from my Outlook Express? Thank you for any input here! 
Me, too. Only if I send receipt do they know it was read. False information.

I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
Requesting a read receipt when sending an email is in no way considered being a
"control freak." Do you also label people who send mail via the U.S. Postal Service as either Certified or Registered "control freaks?"
If the recipient does not acknowledge mail receipt, Outlook will not notify you.
If the receipient declines to acknowledge receipt but reads the email,
saying that is what happened, so either way, you know the person got and read it.
Some emails that are sent do not warrant a written reply, so receiving a read receipt would
ensure that the information sent has been read/received.
Thwap the husband on the head, buy the keyboard, save the receipt, deduct it from your taxes.
I wouldn't even ask my husband for something like that, any more than he asks me if he can fill up his car with gas so he can get to work! Sheesh! What a prince of a guy you've got there.... You get your keyboard, girl!
Unfortunately no key function to stop it. sm
How about making one pt that changes to capital PT and one ptx that expands to prothrombin time? Another example, have chf change to capital CHF and chfx to expand out to congestive heart failure. I just started ExText myself and that's what I'm going to be doing. I saw another poster does the exact opposite with the X so not meant to confuse!
Try looking at the function keys...sm
in your laptop. If you have that CRT/LCD key, press "Fn" and then that function key (on mine, it's F8--I have a Dell). Your extension monitor should show your desktop, and your laptop monitor would go blank. Of course, I am assuming you already dealt with Control Panel/Display/Settings, and you've matched the physical arrangement of your monitors. I also have my "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" unchecked. If you do leave it checked, your laptop desktop is going to show in your extension monitor as an "extension" of your desktop, meaning, you will be able to drag your mouse onto your secondary monitor. But, if you're like me and want to extend the life of your laptop monitor, then try to look for that function key. Good luck!
mouse vs function
Am glad to see your post. My new second job took the mouse completely away from us (I am training inhouse for 2 months) and after a whole month I STILL constantly reach for the mouse LOL. Hoping it just gets to be habit to use function keys, but sure is frustrating and jerky!! Good luck to you!
Function keys with IT
I have a doc that says the same thing over and over. I have made a template for him and I use my F11 key to jump from field to field to "fill in the blanks". How can I get this to work with IT. I have added it to my glossary using the formated option and the F11 key does not work. I have tried using the command key (I insert the F11 key before every field in the template and then save it to the glossary) and this has not worked either. Any suggestions?
Function keys
I am typing now, but wanted to send you a quick note and say that you are right about the function keys for playing, FForward, and Rewind....I have been doing that this morning, and it works well! I thought it would just be too much confusion to try and use those function keys instead of the foot pedal, but honestly, it's working great, so thanks!! I appreciate any advice that's making it easier for me to use this system, and I got some good tips!
Have a good day
Meditech function key help

Can you use a "Find" function?

I tried that, but I could not function. I felt
dizzy and had a headache all the time. I'm wearing bifocal glasses right now and I have never adjusted to them either. Last doctor suggested I just get monofocal contacts and get readers at the drugstore.
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

Most people cannot even function with a migraine - sm
I don't think you have what most of us would call a migraine. As I said you cannot function at all with a migraine. I get them from time to time; with mine onset is seeing spots, vision effects, then within 20-30 minutes my head just starts to pound. The only cure for me is to sleep. I have old migraine medication that used to take when I felt one coming one and it would circumvent it(this is when I was getting them monthly). Now I only get them once a year or so. Never had a stiff neck, just felt like my head was going to split open and could not see very well because of the spots/halos. Now I take what I have left of my old prescription and also Advil Migraine when I feel one coming on, works great. I am not sensitive to sound when I have a migraine, just light. If you still feel crappy today go to the ER. I would not wait until Wednesday in order to save your insurance company $. I hope you feel better.
MS Word search function
Does anyone use this feature? I have just discovered it, but find that it works intermittently, i.e., finds a report for some names, not for others. Any ideas?
Thank you.... bw
Need help creating a go-to function in Word...
I would like to set up Word so that I can press tab (or some other) key and it will move to a specific point in the report such as ???, so that I can then insert text at that point. I have had many templates come to me with this function but I would like to be able to set it up for my own templates, only don't know how....after spending 30 minutes in the Help menu I'm just frustrated!!  But I bet one of you folks know how to do it! Sure would appreciate the help.
Meditech function keys?
Is there an "F" key for spell check in Meditech? I hate having to use my mouse to click the spell check button and Im just wondering if there is a short cut key.
I can't think of a function in WP51 that will go with autocorrect (sm)
unless you are talking about converting autocorrect list to PRD+ ShortHand program? Or maybe you are talking about a later version of WordPerfect...?
As far as transcribing it, could you transcribe it in Word, save as a WordPerfect file then count, then reconvert?
The only way I know is to use the Mail Merge function.
You could try converting the addresses from text to table. You may have to go through and manually fix returns, etc., but it beats retyping them.
My method uses the addresses in an Excel database and then the Word Mail Merge function to generate the layout. It's very detailed to explain here but I would suggest you check the Help Menu or the MS website for specifics on how to use the MM function and accomplish your task.
Good luck!
Mouse vs function keys?
OK, I just started with a new company and going through extensive training on-line. Been doing MT for 15 years and am very comfortable with the mouse. Trainer is trying to get me to use function keys. She says it helps greatly with speed and the mouse slows you down. I even have a "cheat strip" of all the function keys but cannot for the life of me get comfortable with using all the commands. How do you know (besides looking at the "cheat strip") when to use Alt, Ctrl or shift key in combination with the F keys? Is there any mindset you can get into that makes you remember Alt is for this type of function, Ctrl is for that type of function, shift for another? How many of you use the function keys vs the mouse and is it really that much faster with time and practice? 
I could not do the function keys at all, don’t feel I have to
and after the higher ups saw what I can do, no more talk on why you should use those function keys.

Need some help with pedal playback function!
Ack! I am using Audioworx and wanted to make my pedal back up a couple seconds everytime I lift it and press it back down. I changed the Auto Backspace amount and now it keeps going back to the beginning of the audio file. Even when I set the amount to 0, it goes back to the beginning. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
question about Word function
ok. I'm not fond of the mouse. Instead of clicking the numbering icon on the toolbar, can this be assigned a keyboard code - and how?
