Yes, I did know that and sometimes that works better than Explorer.

It all depends on what you're more comfortable with. Glad that it worked out for you.

You can still do it through Explorer.

To select a group of consecutive files, left mouse click on the first file, hold down the shift key, scroll to the last file in the group you want to move and left mouse click on it. (The files in between will also be selected.) Continue to hold the left mouse button down but let go of the shift key. Drag the group to the CD drive.


To select several non-consecutive file, follow the above steps but instead of the shift key, use the Control key. This will select each file you click on separately. If you click on an incorrect file, simple click again and it will de-select that file.


Using a combination of the shift and control keys will perform allow you to select non-consecutive groups of files.


Internet Explorer
Thanks very much! I'll check that out.
I have Internet Explorer
I have never had a problem before like this with it. I just sent tech support an E-mail and I will see what they might say.

Thanks.

Yes, you can do this from Windows Explorer. sm
Find the ShortHand folder on the main drive. Look for your dictionary names ending with the spf extension. You can copy those to a CD or flash drive or email them to yourself.
Use Windows Explorer. Are you using
WinXP? Click the setup.exe file.
Internet Explorer trouble
Has anyone ever had IE just poop out on them? I was able to log onto IE yesterday morning with no problems. Then, about 2 hours later I needed to go online and research a medication. I got the following error message: "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error. Program:CProgram FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe. This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more information." I tried running TrojanHunter Guard, Ad-aware spyware detection, and even tried uninstalling and reinstalling IE but it won't let me do that. I've downloaded another browser called Opera which was recommended to me just so I can get online. Anybody else had this problem? Thanks for any help or advice.
Internet Explorer Trouble.

Thanks,

If you are using Internet Explorer (Microsoft) sm

Go up to the top and click on "Tools", then "Internet Options". Click "Clear History". That should do it.


If you set your history to only keep one or two days' worth of info, it will automatically clear itself.


It would be a good idea to click "clear files" on the same screen as well.  You should also click "clear cookies", but that will delete all your passwords and saved information. However, some of those "cookies" can be harmful so you do need to clear them out once in a while.


Ok, try repairing your Internet Explorer.

Go to Start Menu, Settings, Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs.  Scroll down to Microsoft Internet Explorer, highlight it, hit the Add/Remove Button.  A screen will pop up with three options, install, repair, or uninstall.  Click the Repair radio button, hit OK, then reply Yes.  After it's done restart your computer and try going to your website again.


If that doesn't work and you can't get it to work through the Mozilla browser either, let me know and I'll see what else I can think up.  Also, update and run your virus and spyware scanners to be sure it's not a virus locking you out.  If you need links to free ones, AVG is good for virus, and either Spybot Search and Destroy or AdAware are good for spyware.  I think both are available at Download.com.


Here's the link for Mozilla Firefox, which is supposedly a more secure browser than Internet Explorer anyway.

I have an Internet Explorer question...sm

all of a sudden when I type in an address in the address bar on IE and hit enter, it takes me to "organize favorites" and makes a new folder.  Anyone know how to fix this or turn it off so that when I type in an address it will just to the web page I am looking for?


Thanks for any help!


Delete them in Windows Explorer. nm
xx
The easiest answer would be use Explorer. sm
More information would be helpful. Is this an Olympus recorder? Is there software that came with the recorder that is needed in order to download?

As an example, my OMs download dictation to their computer using Microsoft Explorer (not Internet Explorer, IE).
More like 2 seconds, if using Internet Explorer

It would help if you were a little more specific about what the issues are that are making your frustrated.


"Cleaning your cache" and deleting cookies are very simple and easy ways to keep your computer free of adware and spyware, although you should have a firewall and run a good malware/adware program frequently.

If you have Internet Explorer, click on View, then

How do you find which version of Internet Explorer??
I can't find this information on my computer.. Where do I find it?  THANKS!
Lost toolbar on Internet Explorer
Can anyone tell me how to restore the tool bar with the buttons such as home page, refresh, go back arrow, forward arrow?  I know that there are other buttons on there but those are the few that I use most often and can remember.  My guess is that something has been inadvertantly turned "off" but I don't know where to look for it.
Use Windows Explorer, drag and drop. sm
OR you can copy specific files/directories from your main drive to your back up drive.
A much better browser to use than Internet Explorer. You will love it!

Go to the "My Computer" icon or Windows Explorer (sm)
And click on the C: drive. Should be a folder named InstText. Inside that is a Glossary folder. Either copy the whole folder or go inside and copy the glossaries you want, then copy to your flash drive. Then install Instant Text to the new computer, attach the flash drive and copy the glossary files to C:/InstText on the new computer.

Win XP? Were you changing folder options in Windows Explorer? sm
Go back into Windows Explorer and look at the options on the general tab of folder options. I no longer have XP and don't remember the exact name of the option you need to clear the check, but you should be able to recognize it.
You don't need to export. Just double-click the glo file in Windows Explorer
nm
Just drag and drop using Windows Explorer. No need for special software.
This is all stated assuming that you are using a Windows Operating System, XP or Vista. Put a blank CD into your CD drive, open Explorer, find the file(s) and/or folder(s) you want to put on the CD, left mouse click and drag them to the CD drive.
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
don't send them thru ES -- find the actual file thru Windows Explorer on your computer. nm
nm
This is a very basic computer skill/concept. You copy files to another drive using Explorer.

There are very detailed instructions in the Help files that accompany Windows. You can read those for more information.


Basically, you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate the files you want to copy, highlight and right mouse click. Choose Copy. Now, find the location where you want to copy these files (usually another drive like D: or H:, whereever the flash/jump/thumb drive is located) and paste the files there.


 


RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

Emdat works with Instant Text Por V - ony version that works with Emdat - nm

Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

this works at least for
fire ants, probably for most any I would think.  Just sprinked around some QUICK grits, (not the slow cooking kind).  What happens is the worker ants take the grits to the queen, she eats the grits and blows up; usually the ants move on....I had to do this several times over the years and have never been disappointed.  Good luck to you. 
Maybe she works because she needs to
not because she thinks the transcription world can't make it without her. That's what I do. I do occasionally take a day off (very occasionally, but I work lots of weekends and lots of holidays because, simply put, it pays the bills and puts food on the table.
They want you to know something is in the works.

Here's how ASR works

ASR is NOT more production than when we were just doing MT work before. I like ASR because it is a variation in muscles used, NOT because of productivity. I have gone DOWN 10% in overall production since the induction of DEP/ASR. They say I have gone up 50%. It is not short to explain but I will try to brief it- They are taking a 1 week period from this summer and comparing the production of your MT against your ME work for that week. This does NOT show what your production has increased since you are an ME. An account with ASR puts all the well spoken dictators on ASR and leaves the more inaudible speakers on transcription. If they were to take production from the yearly quarter before DEP/ASR started and compare it to the most current quarter completed - That would be more accurate. This is another set up for failure or a carefully concocted tactic for MQ to make us think our production is going up!


DD only works
if the company you work for offers it, though. What's even worse than a late mailman is the idiot at headquarters who didn't mail the check on time.
Works?
I have Word 2003 that came with MS Works.  I use the Word count with spaces and divide by 65.  Mine has a count with spaces and one without.  Is this not what you mean?
Don't do it. No one really works that way
anymore if they are legit. I would really doubt this. Lines is what most of us work by. You can do lots by bytes to hide things. Years ago they had an article in AAMT when I used to read it about just this very thing. I don't know if you can find someone with an issue of it or not. I have no idea when I saw it but it was an interesting article comparing how our work is measured. This one was the last one that they would recommend.
works better for me than others..
Cymbalta has a more subtle affect than others. I take it in combination with Welbutrin and have been on this combination for about six months... I was on Celexa before that, which was horrible. Weight gain and unobtainable orgasm with that one...I seem less overwhelmed on my current combination, also with Xanax for STAT relief.
My kid works at

My kid works at Burger King for a part-time job while in college.  Been there since he turned 15, so almost six years now.  If he could talk to you, he would tell you to work any place but there.  Yes, they start you off at $6.50 to $7.00 per hour and guarantee four raises the first year; however, after six years, he is now making $7.95 an hour (with excellent evaluations).  Get ready to work Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc.  Get ready to be dumped on by lazy managers who don't want to do their job and can make you do their job for them.  Get ready to have customers curse you because another employee screwed up your order.  Get ready to have cameras watching your every move.  Get ready to clean toilets after filthy customers who don't care if they trash the restroom stall.  Get ready to mop floors several times per shift.  Get ready to come home stinking to high heaven because of the grease, mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, etc, that is all over your uniforms.  And, before I forget, get ready to do laundry on those greasy uniforms every day because you only qualify for one uniform the first thirty days.


Give up medical transcription?  Never -- even though the doctors never say, "Thank you for a job well done."  I'll take the deadlines, the stress, the competition and the back pain if for no other benefit than the fact that I still smell good after I finish my shift.    Don't forget the extra pounds you'll get at Burger King -- I do believe just inhaling that stuff puts on the pounds. 


It works for me

See, I don't have enough expenses/deductions to qualify to itemize on my income tax.  When you are an IC, your tax burden may be less because you can offset it with home office space, books, software, hardware, etc.  Maybe you own your own house and/or have children to claim on your taxes.  Maybe you are married and have a supplement income (all thes things are none of my business, just listing things   ) 


Anyway, my point is this:  If I need an appendectomy tomorrow and need 6 weeks off, since I don't have anyone to support me and I don't have any savings, then PTO, STD and LTD covers my income so I can recover without worrying about losing income or possessions.


It's all different strokes for different folks.  See, I also just started with this company a few months ago.  On my last job after 5 years, I was making more than $50,000 as I did MT and worked as a certified coder for a hospial also.  My income always goes up each year after I start new accounts 


here's how it works
You have to have high-speed internet to use Vonage, either cable modem or DSL through your phone line.  Vonage sends you a router box which connects to your internet and then you can hook up a phone line in the back of it so that your calls are being made essentially over the internet instead of the traditional method, so I plug my C-phone phone cord into the Vonage box and use it for calling to access dictation.  This is my home office, but out in other places in my house I have my regular phones connected to the jacks in the wall and just use the same number I've always had for regular calls.  I keep the 2 lines because I couldn't get a local phone number with Vonage.  However, in a lot of areas your phone number will transfer and you can eliminate your regular phone bill all together if you just want to use the Vonage phone service, but it's your choice.  Hope that made sense.
What works for me.....
I type approximately 1800 to 2000 lines a day. I heavily use my Autocorrect in Word and start off with a saved template which has all the general headings that my ortho doc uses. Then, I just basically fill in the blanks!
what works for me---
I ask them to once. then, I sit back and wait awhile, usually a couple of days. I don't nag, I don't complain, I don't bitch and moan- I've found it to be a waste of time & energy-- I jump right into stark raving crazy, to the point that they worry about my sanity and the safety of their body parts --works every time ;) (you'll probably need to use that technique only once tho')
What works for me
I will try to explain this stretch as best I can as I am not finding a picture of it. I was told that the reason I have this chronic pain is because I spend my days with my shoulders turned in a little (while typing). I was told the best way to fix this is to do the opposite sort of stretch which is stand in a doorway and put each hand on the sides of the frame about shoulder height, then lean forward and hold. I do this a few times a day and I swear it has been a miracle for me. I was also told to stand and raise both arms straight above my head and then gently lean backward - I can't do this very far yet but I am getting more flexible all the time. Hope this helps at least one person!
What works best for me is
to listen to the relaxing tapes of rain and the ocean and etc. I have tried sleeping pills for years and nothing has ever really worked, but this is the best for me.
What works for me is..
melatonin and 5-HTP.  I take one tablet of each at bedtime and sleep like a lamb.  I used to take a Benadryl tablet each night which also worked but then you have a slight "hangover".  Also, although it's not habit forming, I wasn't comfortable with the idea.  The melatonin and 5-HTP really help with sleep and lower anxiety, as well.  They can be purchased at health food stores, but I got mine on ebay for a very good price.  My husband and I both notice nothing but a positive effect.  Good luck!
You tell her. That's what I did, and it works. (sm)
You mothers of boys, heed this.  My DIL once told me she was amazed that my son could take care of himself, even knew how to run the washing machine.    True story. 
Here's how it works...

I've never heard such a thing. 


Once a person gets their real estate license, they are free to work for any Realtor they choose and for any Realtor who is willing to take them on.  The catch is like starting out in any field, they are a newbie,so they can expect to work their behinds off - try to sell houses 24/7 - and make a pittance of a commission split until they get experience (experience  = # of house sales) under their belt, at which time their commission split increases.


Here's an example of how it would work:


Newbie Sue goes to work for Coldwell Banker selling homes.  She lists a home for $300,000.00 at 6% commission, and an agent from ABC Realty finds the buyer and sells it.  Total commission is $18,000.00.   (Note:  This is why it's important that you concentrate on listing instead of running all over town with buyers.  When you get a listing and when/if it sells, you are guaranteed a commission - this is not the case when working with buyers as buyers are very fickle and not loyal to agents AT ALL!)  Anyway....


ABC Realty and their agent get half of the commission - 3% - or $9K - half of the total $18K total commission - and that 3% is split between ABC Realty and the agent, according to their agreement.


Let's say Newbie Sue and Coldwell Banker agree that because she is new with not much experience under her belt and because the Realtor will be basically baby sitting her in her dealings/closings/open houses for a few months until she gets the hang of everything involved, plus pay for all of her home advertising, etc., she will get a 30 percent cut, so Coldwell Banker's split is 9K, and 30 percent of that goes to Newbie Sue or $2,700.00, with Coldwell Banker getting the remainder.


If Newbie Sue lists AND sells the home (finds her own buyer) then she and her realtor get the whole cut of the pie -$18K, and then they split that according to their agreemtn splint - in this case 30% or $5,400.00 would go to  Newbie Sue,with the remainder going to her Realtor, Coldwell Banker.  This is called a double whammy - the listing agent gets the whole commission pie, but double whammys don't happen that often.  Anyway, that's why it's important to get as many sales as you can under your belt because your split with your Realtor will be higher; i.e 75% perhaps. 


If a real estate agent goes to work for an operatoin like Re-Max, they get the whole piece of the pie when the house sells; however, they have to pay "rent" to ReMax for their office space plus pick up the entire tab for all their newspaper/magazine advertising, which is FAR from cheap, so that's why when one goes to work for a Re-Max Agency, one had better know what they're doing or the cost of doing business will sink their ship real fast (unless they have a deep reserve.)


Hope this makes sense....


 


 


it works for me
For autocorrect I click Alt+T and then A. Its a very fast habit to pick up. And you can do Control+F9 to insert markers and then use Fll to jump to each marker. Works with my Word version.
What works for me
I don't need to look at account specs every single time, just a refresher about a couple of items usually.

I made a table on a Word document with the most important aspects for all accounts then listed information to refresh my memory for each account in a column. I left a few columns blank for any additional accounts I gain later.

Then, I printed it off, and took it to Kinko's and had it blown up to just below a poster size.

It is hanging right next to my desk and I just need to glance at it (not even turn my head) to see if this account uses patient names or if that account uses special headings, etc.

No books. No taking my hands off the keyboard. Just a "tickler" file on the wall!
