Thanks very much everybody. I do have a typing speed of 61 wpm, secondly I think it has to do with wordexpander like sm said. SM, is it possible that i create a macro or dosome visual basic program in word itself for this Expander program.

Thanks guys
Thank you very much for the information.

Try these guys. They make (sm)
all sorts of handy gadgets like that.

Thank you guys!!! I am so happy that ...
I found this board. I am feeling better when I am taking the tests and actually have a possible job offer when the company is able to hire again. They said they were on a hire freeze, but they are going to keep all my info until the freeze is over so that they may contact me.

Of course that doesn't mean that I can stop looking either. Again I just needed to vent, but i do thank you for the uplifting go get em comments from you both. It is very helpful.

I'm sorry that this happened to you guys.
It's so frustrating, I sure wish more people would check into these "schools" and ask questions before they plunk down their money. For just a bit more than that $3000 you could've attended either Andrews School or M-TEC, which are the two best schools out there. And it definitely would've been cheaper than paying Allied AND then paying Career Step.

Unfortunately, even when people DO ask questions beforehand, and they are told that these schools are inferior, there's always SOMEBODY who managed to find a job after completing these bogus "courses" and they don't hesitate to insist that you don't need to pay the money for the good courses. Just because a few people get lucky, they are definitely WAY outnumbered by the people with your same complaints who cannot get hired without shelling out more money for a REAL MT education.

you guys rock!
You are making me feel sooooo much better about this! It is very helpful to hear these stories and know that it is a great program and I made a great choice! I really appreciate it!!! Plan on starting the program next couple of days and get things going! Thanks again so very much!

Please help! Did you guys have to buy the software or did the company provide them?

I'm just trying to figure out if I'm actually doing this whole process right or not.....II know I have to purchase some things, but want to make sure I'm not being taken.
