From what I can see, it's not MS Word, it's "Opal Office" Posted By: deb on 2008-07-05 In Reply to: Word help - Barb and they are charging $11.95 for it, and it's a ripoff because they stole the program from "Open Office" which is totally free and are selling it for $11.95. At least that's how it looks to me.

There are people who specifically answer questions there. Each office is fifferent, even within each office there may be some who prefer tapes versus handheld or some other type of system. If you're going to offer a service you need to have a game plan. Will you offer handhelds if they don't have them, what software do you have to download the files securely from the office to you, are you going to just upload the completed work back or will you do a remote print, are you going to store completed work for them or are they, etc. Office Pro 2003 I can't seem to find notepad in Office Pro 2003. Does anyone know where it is? How do you get around this besides working in an office first? or maybe I am expecting too much, and it just is not going to work without some office time before me. I am not sure how anyone expects a new graduate to get a job when everyone wants experience; however nobody is willing to hire us so that we may gain that experience. You do your time in an office first, like the majority of the rest of the MTs did. That's how it works. MQ employees at St Louis office I just accepted a SE position with MQ at the St Louis office. Can I get some opinions of others that work for this office? I will be part-time, so I'm wondering about their training and how well are you treated. Do you get answers to your questions quickly and do you get feedback regularly. Are you at the current doc's office all day long? sm I was thinking that if he wants you to transcribe from his office, could you get that done in a couple of hours, and then go home to work from there? I started my "home work" with one doc. She raved about me so much that all her doc friends called me to get me to work for them. Sit down with your doc and feel him out. He could be a real help to you! Good luck! Call their office to see which one they would recommend for you :) nm x I had to start out in the office of a local hospital sm for a year, then went home. I didn't want to go home to be honest, too many distractions and my twins were babies at the time, but they were sending everyone home. I really don't know what to tell anyone when I see these posts. There are lots of companies out there needing help and you'd think that if they are willing to send their work overseas to people that don't even speak English as a first language, then they would be willing to hire a new graduate. I would be a little more pushy, offer to do 30 days at a lower cent per line then have a review, something like that. Keep pushing, someone will see potential and take a chance on you. Honestly, these companies that don't hire new graduates I just don't get it. I work for a small local company that is always behind on their work and I always suggest they hire some new graduates from the two local schools, but they never do it, they just sit and wait for people to apply. Good luck! office experience + Medical Terminology - Is it enough? Hi everyone, I've been wanting to take an MT course for quite some time, but still haven't managed to come up with enough money. So - I was wondering. Do you think for a beginning MT job in a hospital, would previous office experience plus courses in Medical Terminology be enough? Have any of you successfully done this? Thanks for the help! Christina Maybe try a specialty doctor's office first. Most times they will hire you, in-house, and go from there. It is very difficult to find an at-home MT job just starting out; however, there are some companies who will hire you. I personally do not know of any, but if you do a search, maybe you will come across one. When I started 25 years ago, it was in a private physician's office and I just moved on up from there. Good luck! Just be careful not to get Office Works or Suite that is advertised as compatible with MS Word. I accidentally bought that once, the packaging was similar and the box said it did everything MS Word did. Well, it sort of did, but that software changed every document I had in my entire computer upon installation to its own version. That certainly would not have worked in transcribing and transmitting reports. While it did work with Word as the packaging said, it did so by changing Word to something else. I don't recall the exact name of this, but just read the packaging carefully and get Microsoft and not a lookalike. Just wanted to give you a heads up to avoid one of my many mistakes. Good luck. Newly Graduate from Medical Office Occupations I know that this may sound like a plug for a job but it isn't I have been down with a newly replaced knee. Now that I can find a job having trouble because I do want to become a home Medica Transcriber and no one will listen to me. How do I go about getting to Medical Transcribing so that I can do it at home.Please I could help with any solutions. Please email me at the above email address. Have you tried Open Office? It's free and very similar - see inside http://www.openoffice.org/ If you currently type in word, then do a word count then I really can be of no help. Usually when trying to get an idea of a line count with spaces and without spaces, you can use this method. Some people have actual line counting software. I, however, do not, so I am not much help in that regard. Hope this helps at least a little. Ashley, have you considered getting accounts directly with a doctor's office? I have been very successful as an independent contractor. You should really consider it. I started out in the file room of the urology office I used to work for. They had a new peds uro coming in and wanted another typist. The only schooling I had was 2 semesters of medical terminology at our local community college. Granted that was in 1990, and I at least had a working knowledge of urology, but it can be done if you really want it bad enough. maybe take a medical term course and start with physical therapy office nm Corp. not in good standing.

Microsoft Word/Microsoft Word 2003 are the same
MS Word 2007 is an upgrade. Are you sure that you don't have it installed on your PC? I don't know if that helps...good luck, and please don't pull your hair out, it comes out with age (lol)

Word

When I have to copy and paste admission notes, for example, and then have to reformat the whole page, all the BOLD HEADINGS become BOLD HEADINGS. Then I have to go back and re-bold them all. Is there a fast way to jump between headings, besides just scrolling?

Just go to the Word help
section of this website. It's wonderful!! I've been in the business five years and still use it quite, quite often.

How do I use word help? Do I have to pay any money? Do I have to be signed up with anything? How long does it take for me to get an answer. Thanks everyone.

Need help with a word.
the word is in regard to a type of incison for laparoscopic hernia surgery. No mesh was necessary. Sounds like lachsimen incision was made and there was no tension.

One word...E-bay.
You can find most of the books you would need on E-bay. If not, Amazon.com has a used book section that will save you some money. Also, you can buy directly from Stedman's and sometimes find discounts of their word books.

Pay by the word
I work for a company that pays me .02 cents per word. It is for a research company and it brings me in a nice sized paycheck. It's definitely a fair price I feel. Hope this helps.

I am sure she will take your word for that.

Can anyone help???

Hi,

Has anyone heard of Officebestdeals.com? They are advertising Microsoft word 2003 for 11.95. So cheap!! Kind of hesitant. Any information on that would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Look up the word slander, Lin. SM
One would think someone so focused on quality would know the proper term, or at least know how to consult a dictionary.

stuck on a word
Hello. Is there a site that I can ask other MTs a question if I am stuck on a word or medication? Thanks for all your help.

The operative word being SOME...but not very many
I did not come across one company in my extensive search for employment that began before I graduated from Community College that stated they would not let me test because I didn't go to one of the "top 3". In fact, most companies have links to their testing on their websites. Those that don't will send you an email with the proper links for testing purposes. To keep stating that the "top 3" schools are the be all and end all to successfully obtaining employment in this field is just plain wrong. I was hired before I even finished school. It depends on the determination of the person. Two different people can come out of the same MT program and one can be an excellent MT while the other can be absolutely horrible. Being a graduate of the "top 3" has nothing to do with it.

Word Expander

Please someone tell me which one is best word Expander which works with MS Word.

Thanks in advance!

try on Word board

Its probably your system, not Word
There is a time delay because your puter probably isn't keeping up with you. Clean out your computer and run a disk defrag. That should help.

The word - newbie. sm

Does that word sit wrong with other people? I'm not new to the MT business but when I see that word it just makes me cringe. It is so commonly used in this industry and, to me, comes across as demeaning when we all are fighting so hard to gain some respect in this business.

Just my gripe!

Have a great day.

Yes, same with me, a word is/was considered - sm
5 characters, so 13 x 5 = 65; I would of course confirm this with the prospective employer though before agreeing to anything. If it 65 then that is the norm and acceptable; unless they are offering dirt for pay.

Anything with the word International in it is a big

Ask on the word board.

What word program
do most companies require you to have to work for them? I have wordperfect 12 right now and have been using it for school. I am planning on buying something else before I start working, but I'm not sure what would be best.

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.

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 2003
I agree with Keri, 2000-2003 are widely used, 2007 not much, 2003 is the best.

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
