That's what I do but if you need to get 2003, ebay is probably your best bet. :)

Word 2003 or 2007?
I have just purchased a new laptop and am having Vista replaced with XP. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a preference by most employers between Word 2003 and Word 2007. Thanks!
Word 2003 or 2007
It seems that a lot of platforms are not compatible with Word 2007. Even the platforms that are compatible with Word 2007 always seem to be compatible with Word 2003 as well. If you can find a standard version of Word 2003 (not the academic version) at a decent price, you've struck gold!
You're not going to make 2007 into 2003 (sm)
however you can SAVE documents in 97-2003 format. 97-2003 uses .doc, 2007 uses .docx.
When you save your document, go to save as ... then as a word 97-2003 document.
Go to OPTIONS (you'll have to find it after clicking on the big round button on the top left corner) and there's a way to default it to save as 97-2003 all the time.
What steps to take to make word 2007 into 2003
or do you have to buy 2003?
Thanks,

She said it was format and not content. Sometimes too many QA

What's time format rules in BOS 3?
Can anyone tell me what the specific rules are for time format in the new BOS on pages 337-339. A brief description would be great or u can scan and email it to me too, whichever is easier.
I do intend to buy my own soon but I have to wait till payday and I'm starting a new company right now that uses that book :(
TIA !
Format/Dictation Issues
Hey there, everybody! I'm currently training to be an MT through an online school and I'm having some trouble in specific areas.
First, Everything I'm studying and learning keeps telling me to type verbatim what I hear so I do that and then receive points off of my submitted assignments for not "editing for grammar." However, when I do decide to edit for grammar, I get points off for not typing what I hear verbatim. Are there any tips I can get on doing this? When do I know to edit for grammar?
Second, formats! I have a ton of reference books but I'm still having a little trouble knowing which formats to use. My current assignment I'm working on is a discharge summary but it doesn't really match the examples I have. How do I know which one to use so I meet the standards of my school and pass the assignments?
Third, I'm having some trouble with dictation quality. What would be suggested for the really fuzzy dictations that sometimes mumble words?
Thanks :)
Don't believe the docs' prognosis...sm
That's why they call it the practice of medicine...'cause they still don't know what they're doin'!
I was told that my hubby wouldn't last 2 months and he's lasted 6 years....He's a totally inoperable heart patient (not even a transplant could he withstand) and the last year has been pretty rough.
You've got a great positive spirit and I hope you can persuade him to reconsider the transplant.
You're gonna need a lotta help starting from ground zero considering you can't spell cardiomyopathy.
Stedman's books are rather expensive for all the specialties and you're gonna need 'em (between $350-600) and a medical dictionary, dosages for meds, different dx (diagnoses) and multiple spellings like perineal and peroneal and what part of the body it pertains to. Microbiology, anatomy..the list goes on and on.
Check/google GIDEON (Global Infectious Disease & Epidemiology Network) for Taxa included in the microbiology module. Do you have hard copy of Grey's Anatomy? Oncology terms and meds are changing daily.
You can google on line spellings and procedures, but that takes quite a bit of time and you lose production time, ergo money. I suppose you can download Stedman's, but that too is going to be costly.
Good luck to you and your family. Cat
Here's the little I have scribbled on an old-timey steno pad...I have everything else in my head or on hard copy (paper/books). I'll check with a couple of other MTs who have better on-line references and try to get them to you.

Perhaps save to PC first

Go to your CC and Save $$$
And you can to to your local community college and get the same great education in MT, too! It's going to be one heck of a lot cheaper. Sure, the online schools may supply your reference books, but with what you'll save going to a CC instead of online, you could buy a whole library and still be money ahead.
Go to your community college and gets hands-on experience/teaching. Your instructor will tell you what types of reference books you'll need to purchase. You will need these books to pass all labs (dictation tests in all areas of medicine).
Good luck!
Save as a .doc file sm
When you're finished with the test, make sure you save the document as a .doc file to send back. In 2007, a Word document would have a .docx extension.
I work for a company that uses an earlier version of Word, so I save as .doc files on a regular basis and they haven't had any problems with compatibility.
Hope this helps.
Would the docs trancription system allow you to keep working for him from home? nm

i totally agree with Patty. In a docs ofc. is where it can all start.
.
but you certainly save money on travel
and perhaps on work clothes/food away from home. When my son got to be about 8, the child care issue was no longer a problem. But when he was little, he would stand by my desk and say "Play with me" if I had no one to take care of him.
You could save others the same grief by responding to questions asking about the course you took so

Don't know TTS, but if the program has errors due to lots of ESLs, sloppy docs, etc. you'll ha

MS Word 2007
If you get MS Word 2007, it gives you the option tocreate a document and save it so that it is compatible with MS Word 2000-2003. I would get it so that you don't have to upgrade later.
Word 2007 I NEED HELP!
Here's what it looks like:
1. Cor pulmonale with salt and water total body fluid overload, with cardiomegaly and edema.
I am trying to add a couple of spaces before the word "overload" so that the "o" will be directly beneath the "C" of "Cor pulmonale". But if I just click in front of the word and touch the space bar, it won't let me do it. Any ideas? I'm desperate to try anything. Thanks

Hi,
I have just got an XP laptop with word 2007 and I can't hear the Doctor's voices they are not coming through, nothing wrong with the volume. Is there anything you can do to correct this on word 2007?

be careful. not all companies can use Word 2007 yet.
many require 2000-2003, no older, no newer.
You will want Word 2003 most likely, but
while you are waiting, look into Chesapeake Transcriptions and Letni. Both advertised last year for MTs with Word Perfect/Corel experience. Just an idea.
Word 2003
I agree with Keri, 2000-2003 are widely used, 2007 not much, 2003 is the best.

Setting up Word 2003
Are compare document and compare and merge document the same thing? I don't think they are.
I'm trying to set up my toolbar and it says: click tools, customize, commands, categories, tools and find compare document and drag it to your toolbar. I found "compare and merge" but not "compare."
Any help you can give is much appreciated!
