Blind leading the blind, but here goes...
At the very top, where it says, file, then edit, there will be view. Click on view. Click on toolbar. Play around with adding and deleting toolbars until you get the one(s) you want.

Good luck!
this may be the blind leading the blind, but...
I think it is control F3, then I think what you want is under local configuration. How quickly we forget this stuff, geez!!
I think I recognize your posts (sm)
I could be wrong, but I believe you are the same poster who got fired several months back because you couldn't cut it and now you take every opportunity to bash TT.  I think this is all sour grapes. 
JMO needs to change the color in her posts. We can recognize her anywhere!

I have. I had to fiddle with the settings to get the program to recognize the foot pedal. (sm)
I was initially afraid of doing that, for fear it would screw up my foot pedal for DocQscribe, but it didn't.  I found a wizard that set the foot pedal to work.  Hope this info helps! 
Well, Merriam-Webster doesn't recognize your version. Only found it in an urban sm
dictationary -- hardly a professional reference.  But it has gotten too much attention already, so maybe if we ignore it, it will slither back into its obscure little corner of the world where no one notices it.
Am I getting blind???

Wow, Cardioscribes closed their position already?  What happened to their last post?


How blind are you...
I received a call from HR and he SPECIFICALLY told me that my job was being cut for the work to be sent offshore. How can you defend this - it is blatant.
I must be blind as a bat - I don't even see their AD
Maybe I'm just looking so hard for it that I'm overlooking it?
Missy....are you blind?
You can't see the forest for the trees. Keep plugging away and you will find out just how much you are not appreciated and I hope it is not too late. You probably need compassion but you will find that it will not come from OSI. They have snakes in their heads and deep down don't care, they are just using you to better themselves.
I don't think they're blind to it
It wouldn't surprise me to find out they cultivate it. They allow a couple of MTs to become golden. Their supervisors spoon feed them the best of the work during their preferred shift and ensure that they have as much as they want. So what if the other 876 employees are dying out there.

Voila! You've got a couple of people who will come on boards like this one and sing exhaultations your company to the end...vowing that the naysayers are just disgruntled former employees or, even more likely, just lazy complainers.

Management isn't blind, but they're hoping the MTs remain so.
Is there really a shortage of US MTs or am I blind and deaf?? sm

I was talking to a prospective employer today.  First off, it is a start-up company in US.  They already have a base in the Philippines. Well, that turned right off; however, we continued the conversation.  My question to this person was this.....so, if you were to get contracts for MT here in the US, are you willing to just hire US MTs?  Answer...Well there is such a shortage of good quality MTs here in the US and we would like to have the work done in the Philippines.  My next question, and if the contract specifically states all work is to stay in the USA, what then?  Well, then we would hire only US based MTs. 


Finally, I had to stop him in his tracks....I told him I emphatically disagree.  There is not a shortage of US MTs.  The problem is that you or any other Internationally based company is not willing to pay the US MTs what they are worth.  You want cheap labor, and you won't get that in the US.  Our MTs here in the USA produce such a high quality patient record and you have to be willing to compensate for that.  If you are interested in USA contracts but want to use cheap labor with no concern for quality, than I am not the person for this position.


 


I am so furious right now as I mull over the conversation......am I just blind or is there really a shortage here in the US of quality-driven MTs.


I am an MT myself as well as QA Specialist and I just do not agree with this mentality.  I think they use this excuse to justify their wanting to offshore.  I see through the smoke screen; however, I guess I just need to hear it from my fellow MTs. 


What are your thoughts on this issue of not enough trained and experienced MTs here in the USA?


 


 


That is what these companies who are robbing us blind think you will do!

Okay.. you have a point.. isnt that the "blind leading the blind." Maybe 1.5 cpl is appropria
THINGS THAT MAKE YA GO HMMMMMMM
It is very sad you are so accepting of offshoring and AAMT turning a blind eye to the American MTs.
The offshoring would not be a problem if there was not such a huge difference in cost. We are on the losing end and taking pay cuts because of offshoring. Also, I know many who have lost their jobs to cheap labor overseas. AAMT is encouring this. That is wrong. America is slowly become a third world country in itself. If we don't stop it now, there will be no jobs left for Americans. I don't care where you are from or what kind of job you have, the pay should be equal for all so the competition is fair. You will find after some time with AAMT, you will be ignored and will receive nothing but redundant information from AAMT office and local chapters. Anything they offer can be gained via the internet now.
