In Reply to: You could not be more wrong. - This is why ...

also making 7 cpl in 1977, how does that add up to more money? Only if one works oneself into an early grave.

Here it is 2007, and I WISH I could make $35,000! (sm)
This year I'm gonna be lucky to hit $18,000. :(
Have 2007 BMW, before that 2002 BMW, now
that is is almost 2008, well will just have to see what my better half wants to do. He buys me these, surprises me. I do not know what it cost, what he pays each month, don’t care- He says he wants me to have really good drive and he sees that I do.
Yep, I worked for them in 2007
I used to live in VA Beach and they were the only at-home company that would give me a chance since I had only worked in house and only had 1 year's experience. I did QA of transcription from Indian MTs and the pay was low for quite a bit of editing, but at least I got my foot in the door. As soon as I had enough experience, I went elsewhere for more pay. The owner is a really great guy that is very understanding if any personal things come up and he always paid on time. Their IT people were really great too.
Word 2007 help

Can someone out there with more knowledge please help?


I have Word 2007 and my doucments changed from doc.file to docx.files and I have no idea why. I have had word since 2007 so this is not new to me.  


I am also unable to email a document from the Word 2007 home page. I have run a Word diagnostic and cannot seem to find any problems.


Any suggestions welcome.


Thanks!


Word 2007 help
I had the same problem when I switched from Word 2003 to 2007 and had problems with my invoicing due to the docx files. I contacted the person who created MP Count what I use for my invoices, and he said to to open up word and click on the icon in the top left hand corner and scroll down to save as, that will open up other options one being save as Word 97-2003 and from then on everything you save a document it will be saved under doc.file and not docx.file. Hope this helps. FYI I still do not like 2007!!!
I worked there from 2007-08 sm
They people were great.  The platform really just utilizes word and copy and pasting demographics (which you get paid for) and then you upload back to the company.  The pay is on the low side, but my accounts were pretty easy clinic work, so it evened out. 
Anything new on Probity? Last info was from 2007 (nm) TIA
zzz
Has Spheris improved any since 2007? I saw an add SM

and was thinking about applying. I worked for them before all the changes happened.


Thanks.


You should take the post of 3/7/2007 off about similar posting
just a suggestion. Again, nothing bad was said by poster, but it does have the phrase over and over again.

I apologize for not knowing that you are not interested in what happens on other boards.
Line count in MS Word 2007
Does anybody know how to get their line count when typing a regular office note in Microsoft Word 2007?  This software is so new to me.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Applied at Transcend but they do not allow Word 2007

and Microsoft quit selling Word 2003 in June of this year, which means they will quit supporting it soon, too.  I hate to pay $187.00 for an outdated piece of software for working.  I have a new computer and specifically requested Windows XP but did not think about Office 2007 not being usable.


 


Been there since 10/2007. There are still slow issues. I do not think they are that flexible..sm
I've been MT for > 10 years. They are better than the evil Q, for whom I worked for 8 years, but I am sure there are better companies out there. The acct specs are no problem, but the platform definitely still is. I have cable Comcast, so slowness issues are not on my end. IT works with it, but not well; there are issues. They will not give me time off--less than a week--to accompany my sister when she picks up the baby she is adopting because I have been there less than a year...Email me if you have specific questions. I would say think carefully before accepting their offer. Make sure you tell the recruiter if you think you will need ANY time off in the next year or you may not get it. I did not think to mention last October that I would need time off this May. Mistake.
I did. On page 3 post from 2007 says no current

They were bought by Nuance in the spring of 2007.
And apparently they feel that stating that fact makes them sound more respectable, I guess.  Nuance also owns Dictaphone and Escription. 
Ok - here ya go. I went from making $1800 per pay period to making just under $900.
Is that significant enough for you? Believe us, we are not just being negative with a grudge or anything like that. This is real! A month later, I was gone from there fast!
Post here in Jan. 2007 said they have mandatory overtime. Is this true?

Medware..There hasn't been anything on this board since August 2007...(sm)

Does anyone who works for Medware care to share their opinion about the company in regards to steady work, flexible schedules, platform, benefits, etc.?  You can e-mail me if you wish.  TIA. 


I just filed 2007 taxes for gross income of $52,341.
NM
They offered me 9.5 cents a line in August of 2007
I don't think that is very low.
Is Dictaphone EXText compatible with Word 2007?

LOL, they still aren't compatible with Vista or Word 2007...

Use the Google box search for MTStars at page top. A few posts from 4/2007 come up.
.
They started looking in 2007. No promises. Now it is a reality and yes, they are paying half. sm
They always come through. Why do you tell lies on here? They are the best out there and those of us that are there and have been a while know that.
Cbay systems layed off 32 employees via conference call on 12/21/2007

they are making a lot of changes....
This is the first I heard of it also and I found out by logging on and all the sudden have all new work types. When I inquired as to why this happened and was told it was part of the "MQ compliance team" (whatever!). Later on that morning, I received an email stating that the first change made was to rank the MTs by classification: Level 1 - ER/clinic notes, Level 2 - ER, Clinic, Progress notes, H&Ps, DS, Consults, Cardiac notes, PT notes (everything except radiologys and OPs), Level 3 -everything including radiology and OPs.
how much are you making, cpl

what are you making, cpl. ect.

It is b/c OSi is making changes
Positive changes...and that scares the daylights out of everyone else.  Yes, they have made a few mistakes, but who hasn't?  I am with you here.  I never had a single problem with OSi until I came to this board and then I found out just how sucky my job really is.  So, why wasn't my job bad before?  It is a pitty that I had to come here to find out that OSi employs only the worst.  I make a lot of money and I don't leave my home.  I have a wonderful AC too and I love the people that I have actually gotten to talk to on a day-to-day basis.  What more could I ask for?
I'm currently making more than that, but have been
looking around, testing the waters.  I ace the tests, they call 2 and 3 times offering me different things, but never enough money.   I have even been offered 7 cpl as an IC.  My point was that experience doesn't necessarily count for anything these days as no one wants to pay you for it. 
Where are you making $120 a day, can I ask?
That's pretty good.
I will be making 9.5 cpl
They offered me 9.5 cpl right off when I was hired last week for an ER account.
making fun?
saying - Having a laugh - is not making fun - it is a comment - not like are they kidding, could not get a coffee for that etc. They do not belong here.
but I am sure if you are concerned the moderator can give you the information so you can apply.
I was making ...
17.00 a hour.
She's making more
than I am right now at my company and I have 15 years of experience and she has about 8 or 9. From what I have heard, it's at the top of the pay scale for most companies out there and you get paid half of your typing rate for editing which is a lot more than I make editing. All I can say is 15 years in this business, they pay very well and that is why I'm applying for a job with them.
Are you saying you re making 0.075 MORE than before, or
they are giving you that which is more than you made before? 0.075 more a line is hard to believe.
I was making 16/hr when i was QA

The ones who are making $125,000
aren't the ones I have a beef with, it's the ones with millions in income and they pay less taxes than someone making $40,000 to $50,000.  $125,000 doesn't give anyone enough money to take advantage of the tax hedges and loop holes that go only to the wealthy, especially if they are mortgaged to the hilt.
Please....you'd be making those
wages no matter what. Find a profession that will pay you more and quit blaming those of us who do our job every day without complaint. You all seem to have excuses why you aren't making money. Find another job where you can sit there and work in your bathrobe, chat on the phone whenever, peruse the internet, throw some laundry in when you want, not have to pay for work clothes or gas, not have to deal with lousy weather or traffic and can be home with your children. And yet you still want to make the big bucks and get all the perks. Why not find something else that will pay you what you think you deserve? Yeah, my DH has a good job and pays the bills....sorry if that offends you. I do this job because I love it, not to become rich from it. Be thankful that you have a job during these lean economic times. Don't blame me because you have no ambition, drive, incentive or guts to do something else with your life.
Are you making more than 5 cpl? (nm)
nm
You were only making up to 2 cpl??
My VR pay is 4 cents a line and 8 cents for straight. I do not use Dictaphone there, there are other systems besides just that. I have no drama, monitoring software? Know nothing about that. I love it personally.
She said that making up 2 cpl could be
time consuming.  She didn't say she was making up to 2 cpl.  lol
I'm not that bad yet but I was making
more than my daughter-in-law who is a nurses' aide and works at the county hospital, but now she's making more than I am, and her health insurance is only $100 a month for a family plus she gets a raise every year.
Then they are not making much of
I make 10 cpl, and if my company is charging 16 or even 18 cpl I don't see how they could stay in business. The bonus structure benefits them because the more productive MTs are, the fewer people they have overhead for, but still...
Are you making more/less/same now as
you were 7 years ago at MQ? My pay has decreased due to the changes.
I think they are GREAT! Making better $$ now than ever!
nm
Have you been making less than $16/hr for 11 years?
I hope not.  If so, poor you after 11 years!  If not, you better get ready for the pay cut.
HOW MUCH DID YOU MAKE AND HOW MUCH ARE YOU MAKING NOW?
I am thinking about making the switch!
It's my job. Dah! someone making a type? Did you mean
typo? Maybe you should proof your work. You are an embarrASSment to the community!

Oh, and when I said proof, I didn't mean 100 proof!
They're making themselves look bad.
I clicked on jen has a big nose and there's an ad there for OSI.
Anybody having trouble making
Amphion?  I have been with them 3 months and still have not hit my 1200 line goal. Would like to know if anyone else has had this experience.
