I have been working an account that uses Word97, but two others use 2003 and feel that this is causing the conflict on my puter.  I want to transition my word97 forms into 2003.  Was just wondering if there is a lot of difference in the two programs?

any suggestions on this?

After years and years of using WP 5.1 we have switched to regular old word... i hate change but I know it's time.

The autotext in Word seems to be a bit... different.  Does anyone have any helpful hints? 

Now the fun part begins of adding in ALL the macros and shortcuts...

MPTools, a new release from Emmaus, is a set of six utilities designed to answer real needs by MTs and MTSOs. Among the utilities are these:

1. Create invoices for your clients and pay stubs for your MTs.

• Select client.


• Verify dates.


• Select files.


• Create invoice.

2. E-mail transcribed reports in HIPAA-compliant encrypted zip files with just a few clicks.

• Select client


• Click Suggest filename


• Select files (the actual transcription, not zip files you've made, for the program will zip, encrypt and password protect when it fashions the email)


• Click Send Email. (In the Sent History, each file you've sent is separately listed with abundant information about it: to whom sent, date and time, name of the email, name of the zip file, etc.)

3. Unzip / zip files, even password protected ones, automatically.

4. Print files anywhere on your network.

You'll find MPTools exceptionally easy to use and intuitive. To better explain things we've posted screen captures on the website, and make the program available for download and trial so you can see firsthand how using MPTools will make your workday shorter and easier.

if so, what kind? If I wear sneakers, my feet get too hot and sweaty.  If I wear slippers, I don't feel like I get enough support.  Any suggestions?

immediately following the slash and have it expand.  For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark?  TIA

Sorry... I have two forums open at once.

I need to get a new router (not wireless).  Does anyone know of a good one?  I don't want to spend any more than I need to but would rather spend a bit more if it makes a big difference in the quality.

Thanks! 

I have been an in-house Transcriptionist for the past 14 years at a mental health/behavioral health facility.  As a matter of fact, I have been the coordinator/supervisor (working supervisor - - LOL!!!!).  I had to under go major foot surgery due to being born with slight clubfeet, and have been off work now since 04/10/07.  I went under FMLA and it runs out on 07/02/07, but my doc is not going to release me back to work no sooner than 07/16/07.  I am still totally non-weightbearing under his orders  I had to use all of my PTO (5 weeks worth because I never call off work).. 

I totally understand where they are coming from with Medicaid requirements and all, but I am feeling this is totally unfair (but what is fair in this world anymore) as I have been a good and loyal employee all these years.  Enough venting -- LOL!

Here's the issue and question . . . . I have been understaffed for years, I wanted to hire another transcriptionist before I had my surgery to get her trained, etc (but that did not happen), I only have 4 transcriptionists including myself, and one is protected by FMLA and calls off ALL THE TIME, and we transcribe for 42 physicians/therapists.  Since I have been off on surgical leave for so long, my place of employment is thinking about outsourcing everything because of course we have not kept up, which means they are not going to extend my FMLA.  Can I collect unemployment if this occurs? 

This is one of the main reasons I have been on this board looking for at-home transcription because I may not have a job to go back to!  Oh, the politics of the corporate world! 

I went to my mailbox the other day and what  did I find? A $400 check from MQ with a note saying  something to the effect of due to glitches in the DEP program, my lines had been "miscalculated."  I  have  been away from this  place for nearly a year now after working for them for nearly 10 years, 2 years on DEP. Turns  out the bastards were ripping  me  off  the  whole time!  Anyone else get anythiing back from these crooks?  

I don't know about you...but I get sick of the same old thing for dinner...uggghhh  Try this...last night my family was the trial and gave the verdict....mmmm..mmmm...good....ENJOY

Ranch Turkey Meatloaf

2 eggs

3/4 c. of ranch flavored tortilla chips (crushed into small pieces)

3 Tbsp. Salsa (I used mild...depends on how spicy you like things)

2 Tbsp. Ranch Salad dressing...(I only use Kraft...but I am sure you can use any other kind of Ranch dressing)

1 tsp. chili powder

1 tsp. poultry seasoning

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 lb. ground turkey

Mix all the ingredients together....until you get a meatloaf consistency.  Then put into a baking dish and bake @ 350 degrees for one hour.  Serve this with salsa and sour cream (strictly your preference) but dipping in the salsa and sour cream just enhances the turkey loaf...  ENJOY!!!

Let me know what you think...

Honestly, which is better?  As far as job market, earnings, and essential functions of the job? 

Happy Holidays everyone!

I was wondering if anyone uses the abcz method with Instant Text and if they were pleased with it.

Does anyone know of a place where it can be downloaded? Or any other suggestions?

People have been helpful and my productivity is inceasing but still need more help!

As always, thanks to all for your willingness to help!!

I have gotten an offer for a side job and need a line counting software to use with Word.  I used one about two years ago but don't have that computer any longer and cannot remember what it was called. 

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks
