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.

2003 word doc
I posted a website for the directions for this yesterday. It was'nt a clickable link, but type it in and it will show you how.
IF you buy word 2003 can
you give it to someone else to download after you download it yourself. Is this legal?
Thanks
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!
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!
What steps to take to make word 2007 into 2003
or do you have to buy 2003?
Thanks,

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)
More specifically...
I'm wondering what were some keywords you used to search for such a single independent contract job anywhere on the internet and not just here? If you searched specific hospitals, or did something else that I'm just not thinking of. I'm simply trying to do a search and I don't think I'm coming up with the right keywords to find what I'm looking for.
How is that possible? It says specifically on their web page - sm
That they only place transcriptionists who are experienced and have at least 2 years of experience? Do they waive that sometimes?
These programs are not required...
These extra programs are not necessary. CS grads can get decent jobs without them. Some prefer to have the extra training. The STT program prepares the students to start work with Spheris at an acute care level.
I cannot compare my education to the other schools and I do agree that the other schools may be better for some. For me, I had a medical background which included transcription. I felt that I would be fine without the one-on-one interaction. If I did have problems with the something, I did pick up the phone and called CS. The staff was very friendly and helped anytime I needed it. I am now a grad and am currently trying to decide between four different job offers one week after graduation.
No, no license required.
Certification is optional.
Most will tell you to attend Andrews or MTech, as you will have a much better education and job opportunities if you attend one of these 2 schools.
Best of luck to you!
check what is required before u
take the exam. For myself, I did not take any exam at all and had been doing med transcription for more than 3 years now. I did, however, took a course as my background was engineering. If you are just new in this career, most companies will require a formal training. The fact that a lot of MTs are competing for jobs, you would be better off with a formal training (just like any other career). I hope this helps.
You might be required to have a certain version of
Word or to have a certain expander, but as far as the software needed to work the company should provide that and if they don't you should not be working for them. Sometimes companies will provide computer/equipment and they will charge a refundable deposit, but for just software you should not have to pay. SoftScript used to make you buy Start/Stop, not sure if they still do. TranScam is a scam, as others stated and if you sent them money, think of it is contributing to their new boat or vacation home, because it is long gone.
Not true, FAQ says 2 yrs required.nm
A patient's name is almost required in the report
to help with filing the report into the chart. Now whether or not it a copy of that record can be sent out with the patient's name is a different story depending on several factors. For example, all identifying information must be removed by a hospital's tumor registrar before submitting the information to the College of Surgeons who monitor cancer trends and treatments.
Many services are steering away from the name of the patient being in the body of the report as a general safeguard, which is a good thing, but this is not mandated by any law.
How can you sit for the CMT exam without the 2 years' experience required?

DeVenture MIGHT offer only hours required, but not

PS: If you are not running the required operating system, (sm)
contact me. I can crack anything.
Continuing education is required to do this job, you must know terms as well as the providers do.
A lot of companies required 1000 to 1200 lines a day. If you are just
starting out you can expect to do about half that unless you have an easy account.
Office Pro 2003
I can't seem to find notepad in Office Pro 2003. Does anyone know where it is?
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.
Can you save your 2007 docs in 97-2003 format ? (sm)
That's what I do but if you need to get 2003, ebay is probably your best bet. :)
Please make sure to ask word questions on the Word Help board. There are
people who specifically answer questions there.
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.
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.

I need some help with this transcription. It reads Patient was on a cruise recently and she traveled in an airplane about 10 days ago and ear pressure persists and the patient denies any hearing loss. No ________, fever, chills, nausea, vomiting.
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.
Might want to post on Word Help

Word Expander
Please someone tell me which one is best word Expander which works with MS Word.
Thanks in advance!

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
