go to your folders by start, explore. find where you saved those files to. once you find a file, right click on it and click on properties. under the general tab, look down 3 lines to where it says open with and i bet it says media player. click change, find the express scribe program. make sure you check that box under there that says always use this program to open this type of file. then you can either right click again, click open with, select express scribe and it will automatically load in ES or you can hit the load button on ES, find where the file is saved, select and it loads it. if this doesn't work, email me.

Open your template dot file and change the zoom... sm
percentage to whatever you want. Then you have to do something in the document area -- such as pressing the spacebar and backspace -- so Word thinks you actually made a change to the template and answer yes to the message when you close it out. Every new document will open with your new zoom level.
Open the normal.dot file and change your zoom. Hit the space and backspace and close it.

Just open glo file in Word, highlight all, then change case and save back
to glo file. Use the Alt key trick to highlight just the column of words, then Shift + F3 to toggle through the change case commands. First save your glossary under a different name so you also keep the original.

If you change the color in the properties/appearance, it does NOT

Windows Media Player
Does anyone know if it is possible to use a pedal with the Windows media player? I am doing some test reports and have been unable to use my pedal to start, stop, and rewind. Without the pedal, this will take forever!
Help with taking test with media player
Hi there....I have to take a test using Windows Media Player and I can't figure out how to type in Word and still be able to use the keyboard keys (no foot pedal yet). If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Media Player/DSS format questions
This subject brings me to the problem I am having right now. I have a WAV pedal program which my doctor and I just started using. Going fine. Then all of a sudden he changes his format and sent me a file with a WMA and it came up in the Media Player. Oh, I saved the attachment in MY WAV files, but also have an archive file set up also. It did not come up in MY WAV files, but thank goodness did automatically come up in the archive part in the Media Player, and I could not get it to work with my pedal either, so literally had to listen and stop, re-listen, and type, etc. It took me 3 1/2 hours to do a 20 minute job! I get so frustrated as I am not IS literate. Now he has told me that he will be sending everything in DSS format and that I should go to a particular website and download so that I can get into it. Well he did not give me a model number, so cannot seem to get a download without it. But this also makes me wonder where and how I should be setting up things to find the documents and where/how to save them. Any tips are appreciated. TIA
Try this plug-in for Windows Media Player. sm
It looks like the .dvf file is a Sony recorder file. You don't say why the file needs to be converted to .dss and I'm not even sure that you can because .dss is proprietary to Olympus. Maybe this plug-in will be of some help to you. Let us know.
I would reverse the media player back
and see if that corrects the problem. If so, you might either decide you don't need the upgrade or contact Windows about a fix...
Make sure your plug is all the way in - sometimes it looks like it is but isn't seated.
Just do a restore to the day before you did the upgrade - or if you are uncomfortable with this uninstall the software and test your headphones...
just a thought.
No, you cannot use a foot pedal with Media Player.
Try downloading Express Scribe; it's free.
take a report you get the gross pay for and do a file/properties/statistics
get the total character count with spaces and divide by 65 I think 6.5 gross line will put a little over 8 cents per 65 character line with spaces.
Nobody (well hardly anybody) gives raises. If the work is easy, you know your account, you might not find greener pastures.
You could take on a part-time account instead of just quitting the one you have, sometimes that switch is a wrong move, anything to break the fall.
Also, MP Count is a free software for line counting and invoicing. Its on the MedPen website.
A foot pedal cannot be used with Windows Media Player

Windows Media Player and Foot Pedal
Does anyone have a simple solution to hooking up a VEC footpedal so that it works with Windows Media Player to stop and start? The VEC hooks into a USB port on the computer and has 3 pedals, rewind, forward, and type.
Just as a note, Windows Media player will NOT work with a footpedal.
Unless there's some voodoo magic out there that I'm not aware of.
Flashdrive question versus Windows Media Player
There are 32 files on this flashdrive. I use a Stop/Start pedal. In using my pedal, I have done all of the files but four. Four of the 32 files show a length of about one hour each, but you cannot hear anything. However, if you open this up in Windows Media Player, you can hear him talking. What do I need to do about this? I can't type using Windows Media without my pedal, and why do you think I can't hear just four of the 32 files with my Start Stop pedal? This is a new thing for me and please pardon my ignorance, but I could really use your advice as soon as possible. You can email me and thank you kindly. Lisa
You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it.
Hmmm.....I read somewhere about seeing if you can play the files in Windows Media Player....sm
because Media Player downloads proper codec "on-demand" and this is apparently needed to play .wav files in Express Scribe (read this at their website). Can you play any other types of files?

Start Stop voice file player and conflicts with Spyware Doctor
I was having problems with StartStop and talked to one of their techs this morning. One of the bugs it was having was fixed when I turned off Spyware Doctor so I need a new anti-spyware program.
I’m thinking of trying Spyware Blaster. I called to see if there were any conflicts with that one but had to leave a message. In the meantime, does anyone use StartStop voice file player and also use Spyware Doctor without any buggy conflict problems between the two softwares?
Right click on the file and choose Open With... Express Scribe nm

Have a hospital I work for and they consistently change work types and do line counts. (sm)
Management just doesn't understand in order to crank out the work you need to be proficient by typing the same accounts. Go figure, they just don't get it ??
Program called Switch can change one type of file into another.

Starting job using Olympus Player/pedal - does this have a good player with slow down speeds - I do

Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
System Properties
I have Windows XP Media Center Edition on an HP Pavilion Desktop.
Click on Start button. Click on My Computer. At the top of the left-hand pane is a box called System Tasks. Click on View System Info. This opens a window called System Properties. Choose the General Tab. It will tell you what version of Windows you are running at the top. The bottom tells you the kind of computer, the type of processor and its speed and the amount of RAM. In my case 1.93 GB.
Rental properties and TurboTax sm
Anyone have rental properties and do your own taxes with TurboTax? We used to have rentals and the accountant did the taxes but charged us like close to $400.00 for our return. We have since sold everything and this year I did them with TurboTax and really the features. Now we are thinking of purchasing another small rental and would like to know how TurboTax is with rentals. Is it easy and pretty much self-explanatory? Do you like to use it for this or do you have an accountant do it? Thanks in advance.
The properties not changed, any more ideas?
NM
I own several rental properties, buy houses and flip them and
own several nationally-known chain restaurants.
Much more productive than pointing fingers at the government and blaming them for any poor choices on my part, most of which are fixable if you stop complaining and get off your butt!
the properties stats still do not count headers.
Do a test to prove it. Type one word in the document and one word in the header and you will only see a count for the word in the body of the document.
Make sure that the Properties haven't been changed.
Open the document that you want to print, choose Print from the File menu and then select Properties. Click on the Layout tab and make sure that you're printing one page per sheet.
problem with display properties screen sm
I am trying to change some settings for my display. When I go into the display properties screen/appearance there are three boxes that are "locked" and I can't get rid of them.
The top one says "message box", the one behind that says "active window" and the third one behind that says "inactive window". They are like error boxes stacked on top of each other. It won't let me "X" them out or anything. Its like they are locked, so I can't change change the appearance of my monitor. I have rebooted and done everything I know to do and can't get rid of these boxes. The other options tabs for my display work fine though.
so, with 5 income properties, how did you come to have only 4000 for a cushion? What happends to y
If you are Christians I'd think you would know about steweardship, living within your means, being prideful. I find it hard to believe someone with income property didn't know what closing costs would be..you get paperwork early on that idicates approximate costs..they are usually fairly accurate, and never 2000 off. Good luck and keep us posted.
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.
