First, you need to remove 4 screws to replace/remove your hard drive. (sm)
Once the screws are all removed, the hard drive (4 x 4 x 2) is sitting in the bottom of the cage. This won't always be the situation, (some really cheap cages are open at the bottom, so the instant the last screw is removed the drive drops if you aren't holding on). Oddly enough, this is the most critical stage of replacing a hard drive, in the sense that removing the drive through the case where the ribbon cables are bunched up and over the CPU and heatsink is most likely to create another problem. If the cables are long enough, you can leave them attached to the hardrive as you slide it out, but don't try pulling through a mess, clear a path first. If you are discarding the entire unit, dont worry about being gentle handed.
You don't need to remove the key, remove the shortcut assigned to the key
in the customize keyboard dialog box.
How about you just walk in the shoes you hold with disdain, and you get changes made

Disgusted, your last paragraph is so true! Thanks for voicing it out loud! nm

You only remove the ones you want to remove
the one with the i-d-i-o-t remark in it as you had already been asked to do.
Did they remove you from one account (sm)
and put you on a more difficult account? It could be the bait and switch. They might save the other account for favorites. 
I have about 20 little hairs to remove. About how much

I had to remove one from the kitchen a little
It was the middle of the night, as I was walking towards the kitchen, I noticed the snake (maybe 14" long, maybe 2" in diameter) side winding towards the refrigerator. I am a nature person but only to a certain degree, so don't want the snakes in my home or any reptile for that matter. I bent down as far as I could with my arthritic hips, scooped the snake up into a dust pan with my arthritic fingers as fast as I could (which wasn't very fast) and walked it up my very steep driveway towards a nearby drain. I didn't want to kill it, just get it far away from the house as I could. I never heard from it again. However, I have bird feeders near the house and maybe that is why I had to even deal with it being in my home in the first place. Not much of a reptile or insect person. I remove the lizards from the house too instead of killing but will spray or destroy insects.

Potatoes might help...Then remove them.
Good luck.
They had to remove "American"
from their name because it's no longer an American association - but where is the integrity the claim?
Remove Spyware...
The best method for removing Spyware is called "Spybot Search and Destroy" It is available from downloads.com. http://www.download.com/3001-8022_4-10804822.html that page will start the download right away, it's a safe link. It is also a free program. Spybot will clean the PC, and when you run the "immunize" program it will keep things safer. Also if you install "Teatimer" which is included, it will warn you if something is trying to make a change, such as a website that tries to change your home page or add to the registry. Teatimer can become annoying when you are installing software though, because it pops up every time the new software tries to make a change to warn you, and you have to click "approve change" if you're in the middle of installing something.
On another note, I have found that just running Firefox instead of Internet Explorer has saved me from many problems as well.
My 2 cents.
I cannot remove DQS for a year now
I have been unable to uninstall DocQScribe for a year now from my computer.
Has anyone else had these problem or can help me remove DQS from my computer.
I have already tried to removed from the program's list under the startup button as well as the add/remove program section. I keep getting an error message not allowing me to remove the program from my computer.
Thanks.
TIA.
I went into add/remove programs, then had to go into
start and search, and it still was coming back. If you Google you can find out how others have gotten rid of it also, that helped me a lot. OMG - that is awful, isnt it, that message that keeps coming up haha,
happy 'deleting'
Ugh, no. I would remove it from the house if I dared.
I do have to keep books out of the office, though.
Administrator: Can you remove the link for me?
I put the link for the Spheris article below, without realizing how long it was! Can you remove it as it is distorting my page?! Thanks!!
I use Registry Mechanic and it does remove--
old and unwanted/unneeded registries from your registry. What you saw was probably just an advertisement and had not actually run a scan. It is good to have a program that does scan and clean out your registry though, as it frees up much needed hard drive space and keeps unwanted invaders that creep into your registry unknown by you when you visit other sites. I don't know anything about the program that was advertised to you though. Just my experiences.
how do I remove page break?
in MW Word. I should know this, but apparently I do not. Thank you.
Edited to remove place of employment. sm
That might be a little too much information. 
You can remove the built-in shortcut from the Insert key. sm
Go into Tools, Customize, then click the Keyboard button. Scroll down and click on All Commands in the left window. Scroll down the right window and click on the Overtype command. Click on the command in the current keys box, then click Remove.
Can someone tell me how to remove a word from spell check?
I'm using ExText (Word based?), ran spell check, and accidentally clicked on 'Add' (adding a misspelled word) when I meant to click on 'Change' (to change it to the correctly spelled word). I know, I know, I shouldn't be using the mouse, I should be using the Keystrokes anyway, right?. LOL
But now that I have a misspelled word in spell check, how do I remove it? Does anyone know? TIA!

Remove Service Pack 3 and go back to

Enough about Kristen Pineda and all her aliases. We remove posts as we see them, but
this person uses aliases, different email addresses, and IP addresses. WE DO WATCH. If you were taken by this person, deal with the authorities.
Thanks! Maybe I'll remove the caps from Failure!! I do use all expanders
almost exactly as you have described! Its my account that specifically wants verbatim and NO canned text. They must "know" about that, and want to make sure they get their pennies worth out of the MTs!!

Changing to Final only hides the tracked changes, it does not remove them. sm
To make sure that all your tracked changes are removed from the document, you must accept all changes. In Word 2003, click the little arrow beside the Accept Change button on the Reviewing toolbar, and choose Accept All Changes.
They don't remove eyes based on transcribed medical reports. SM

I would have liked to have heard from this person on the board instead of seeing the job posted again. I did not receive any response to my resume.

RESUME
I went to the Company's Board and sent my resume to all of the companies that I felt would work for me. Specifically, I did not want to supply my own equipment. Plus my resume was simply a description of my past experiences. I didn't put in "objectives, goals, etc." I simply stated what I did. I have never done a resume and did not use a specific format. I got a reply and got hired over the phone in less than ONE day. I didn't have the equipment to test with, so they will just watch my work for two weeks, and if I "pass," I'm hired. They furnish all the equipment if you want them to, the recruiter was SO nice and comfortable, and the start pay was rather good. I came from a "not so nice" company, so I'm SO happy. I didn't post my resume as I feel there are so many ones posted, it would be next to impossible for a company to go through all those resumes. This way, I went to the company, presented myself via my "simple" resume, and got an email the next morning. That is the way I would do it. Use the Company Board and just keep sending your resume to all the companies. Your resume comes back after you post; you just go on to the next company and post ...... easy as pie. Good Luck!!
Resume
Has anyone been able to actually log into the resume sectoin on the Job Seeker's board? I created a user ID/password last weekend and still get a log in error. Just wondering if anyone else has this problem.
On my resume
I list my current work status as follows:
Independent Contractor - Medical Transcriptionist
5/00 - Present
Include a statement about refs being available upon request, and then provide the refs of your choosing based on how many they want.
Why does my resume pop up here?
Whenever I click on Apply Now on any job ad on the job seeker board here, my resume is automatically pasted into the box!!
How did that happen? I don't paste it - it's already there.
Resume
Does anyone know where I can find samples of MT resumes?
what to put on resume???
I am kind of at my wit's end here. I have only worked for two different companies as a transcriptionist, one for 17 years and the present one for 12 years. What do I need to put on a resume, besides these two companies that I have worked for. Should I list the types of reports I have transcribed? Does anyone know of a template that I could use for this? Thanks to all!!
resume
I was told to copy into a notebook format and use the notebook to copy and paste it into the text boxes. I did this to be on the safe side after noticing the same problem you are having.
What I do on my resume....
I put "Formerly credentialed by AHIMA as a Registered Health Informaation Administrator." At one time I had "inactive" after the letters, but changed that to the 'former.' No one has ever questioned me on it one way or another. I still have my original certification letter and credential certificate in case i ever need to prove it.
I sent my resume sm
I am glad someone else asked about them. I got a letter of introduction.
Gotta have DSL, not cable (I have cable). They go into detail about the number of lines per period expected, but nothing about how lines are counted. They do not give the stipulations of how a sign on bonus is to be paid out either. They only have 2 positions open and they are both 3 to 11.
I usually jump on a job (if I am looking which I am right now) if I have not seen the company advertise extensively for MTs. I figure if a company is always looking for MTs, it is because they have a low MT retention rate. This is not always the case, but it is my first thought. I also come here and read about a company too.
I got this letter after I had agreed to full time with another company that doesn't advertise much either. The line rate is quite a bit less, but it is employee status, matching taxes, company contributes to health insurance and it is not very expensive with 7 different plans to choose from, dental, vision and a PTO program that pays based on your average hourly rate over the previous 90 days, which is pretty fair if you ask me. Given the state of my income tax bill...a lower line rate with some benefits and some help on taxes all look good to me. They will reimburse for my internet, but as I have another PT IC job I won't be putting in for this, I'll need it for my taxes (it is not very high in any case).
So...here I go, my first employee status as an MT.
Of note, I have a place I gave my notice to today. They pay 10 and 11 cents a line and there is never any work, or at least it has gotten to where they run out on a regular and predictable basis. On top of that, I think they have slowly shifted how they are counting lines because I have been working faster and over the same numbers of hours, but my checks have gotten smaller and smaller to the point where last check was HALF what my check had been the last of October! I am out of there.
resume
Does anyone know if there is any way to post a resume, like there used to be?
maybe it's the resume.
Can you get someone to look it over and make suggestions?
Include all tech you are familiar with, types of reports you are proficient at, etc.
resume
What I have found to be a constant problem in placing ads for positions is indeed the resume. I know that they say you only get "one chance to make a first impression" but a resume IS your one chance. If you are asked to paste to email only and download it instead, you have already lost. If you are listing your experience in Cardiology, Radiology, etc and capitalizing items in the resume that should not, you are have lost. Our profession calls for precise knowledge of things capped and not capped, hyphen, none, etc. So if a resume is a reflection of the person then as an MTSO not sitting and interviewing you in person, you have a resume in hand to go by. It should be as close to perfect as can be.
Giving away age is as simple as stating you have worked in WP 5.1 or 6.1. AND some companies, mine included will eagerly look for those experiences because it shows you have been around a while and know the field.
When you get say 200 resumes for a position, you have to whittle down the responses so you first go by the appearance of the resume, and by that I do not mean something aesthetically pleasing, but use of grammar and caps. Then I check for qualifications...if I asked for experienced only apply and they dont have experience, circular file. If I ask for specific background or equipment and they dont have it, circular file. There is always a method to getting down to the people that are qualified and testing those people, but it is a long and time consuming process. To respond back to all resumes is time consuming and to do it in a timely matter is difficult so process of elimination is utmost.
Does your resume show a lot of short-term jobs? I look for that because I believe most companies are looking for long-term IC not fly-by-night, so again, there are many things a resume tells a person.
Does it list the equipment you OWN?? I dont care much for what equipment you may be able to work, but own yes. In this day of computers and Dictaphone, Lanier, voice files, etc, a company asking for specifics, like owning Lanier or Dictaphone want to be able to see that reflected on the resume. I have probably sent out 200 emails asking about equipment, even though my ad clearly states 'MUST HAVE' I will get 100 resumes from people that dont have the equipment, dont have the experience, have never even transcribed or taken a course. So do not just assume that we KNOW you meet our requirements listed because you apply, we may have to ask if it is not on a resume.
The resumes I like the most are short and to the point..
name, add, phone number, email and cell phone
course work or where you learned transcription. I truly do not care what grade school you went to, high school or college. If it does not pertain to MT work then frankly it doesn't help to know you are an Honor Student from some college. That will NOT GET THE REPORT TRANSCRIBED CORRECTLY.
work experience - and start with most current going back. I dont want to read your jobs from 1800 and work my way up. I want to see where YOU ARE NOW in this field and work my way back. We all start somewhere, were a newbie once, but at the time of hiring, I need to see how FAR you have come.
reference materials - yes they help, being able to Google something is fine, but having a reference source at hand to know the caps, not capped, etc, is important. Google has things done so many ways it is not always the most precise for that purpose.
equipment OWNED - like own Dictaphone, Lanier, computer, fax - is it dedicated or shared - computer, etc.
platforms worked, i.e. Citrix, Star, HBO. Meditech, RadTrans, that type of thing.
WHAT I DONT CARE TO READ IN A RESUME
hobbies - could care less about your bowling experience or knitting projects....they have nothing to do with work
movies you like
jobs that did NOT pertain to MT work. I dont care if you were a great bartender or worked third shift for Motorola for 10 years. I DO CARE about things that pertain to what I am hiring for.
When an ad stats looking for STEADY, RELIABLE MT, that means just that...so if I see you had 10 jobs in 5 years, the word steady kinda goes out the door. If I email you back once and no answer, could be glitch, twice and not answer, reliable is wavering now also.
There are a lot of variables to WHY a resume is not responded to. If I have to sift through a bunch of stuff that does NOT pertain to what I am looking for, I dont, I move on. Without seeing yours I cant say why, but I hope this helps a little bit.

I got my job from my resume off of here. sm
She saw it on there and then phoned me. Gave me an phone interview and then I got the job. It is always no that easy obviously, but she did get my resume from here.
But, she was the only one. I have never been contacted again about it.
Need Some Help With My Resume
I'm trying to write a resume (first one in you don't wanna know how many years, LOL!) and my poor little pea-brain.... I can't, for the life of me, remember the exact dates and order of my various jobs. I DO for the most part remember WHO I worked for...
So today I called the hospital that I worked for twice. They were able to give me the dates of my second tour of duty there, but they claimed to have no record of my first stint with them. The rather rude HR clerk told me that those records had probably been purged. Keep in mind that I'm sure of what YEAR I started with them that time around (1991), but not sure of the month, and clueless about when I left that time around. Is 1991 really so long ago that an HR dept wouldn't have records????
But that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I've worked for the Q at least 3 times (it might be 4, due to acquisitions and mergers). I worked for another medium-size MTSO twice also. Sometimes I was working 2 jobs at one time. Once I worked for a lady who was doing IC work for the VA. I have no clue what her name was, and she no longer has an office in the place where I worked for her.
How do I possibly consolidate this all into a functional resume????
Thank you so much for any help you can offer!
resume response
yeah, i know what you're saying. have not heard from spheris (three weeks now). so i move on. it just kinda makes you think either their busy and have no time (do they have time for the hired who need help?)or they looked at your resume and decided to pass.
Because the pay is better and the title looks much better on any resume for any job.
