Advice - 'mickey button'?

Just out of curiosity, how do you type 'mickey button'?  As it sounds, as it sounds but capitalized, the apparently patented way of MIC-KEY button (as on the product's website), or yet another way?  I keep seeing this typed all different ways and was wondering if there's some universally preferred method of which I'm not aware.

TIA

I must've accidentally omitted something in that link, 'cause it's lamer than I am.

I'm gonna go sniff some glue now  

Go to Tools, at the bottom of the meun there is a customize button, click it. Once you are there open the Command tab.  You will see a list of categories on the left and commands on the right.  Click on the format category and you will see all of the format buttons you can add to your tool bar...  about 1/2 way down you will see the superscript and subscript buttons...  Click on the superscript and drag it to your toolbar.  I usually try to put it with like buttons, like the bold, underline and such.  The button should insert into your toolbar and now when you need to superscript a number you can just click on that button before you type it.  you do have to remember to click the button off after you have typed the superscripted character.

Hope this helps..

Has anyone ever had a dictator who said "He was unable to take p.o.s?"  As in he couldn't take anything by mouth.  I have one dictator who says this rather often, and I'm not sure how to transcribe it.  If he just said, "He was unable to take anything p.o", that would be different.  But he says p.o.(s).  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!!

I am currently transcribing from micro cassettes and transporting tapes back and forth.  I am looking into upgrading to digital and sending dictation via internet.  Is there anyone already doing this that could offer advice?  i.e. How does it work?  What equipment is needed?  (I'm assuming I need to purchase a new foot pedal?)  Any special software needed?  What is the sound quality like?  Any pros vs. cons?  Also, can you recommend certain equipment and where to purchase?  Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

In the spine, there are bones (vertebrae) and intervertebral discs.  The discs keep the vertebrae from touching one another, thus providing a "cushion" for the bones.   When the disc which is between the spinal bones ruptures it is called a herniated nucleus pulposus.  It could be a disc protrusion or a disc extrusion, which is not be a complete herniation but a partial disruption of the disc. 

Therefore, the answer to your question would not be "distal" as the other poster suggested, but rather discal herniation or a herniated disc or nucleus pulposus. 

A suggestion would be for you to get an atlas of the spine and read about the components which make up the human spine, canal and cord.  That way you would have a better understanding of what you are transcribing and also the correct terminology.

I am new and have an ophthalmology account. I am not having much trouble with the terms, but I'm unsure how to punctuate and/or format the lens prescriptions.  Does anyone know of a good website that explains this or provides examples?  Thanks!

I have tried looking this up on grammar sites and couldn't find anything.  I am always wondering if I should hyphenate * two-and-a-half years ago* or if the jury is out on that.  Same as *for the past three-and-a-half years...*

Thanks
