    It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
    technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
    Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?

    Did anyone else catch the BS here other than me? how could you sm
    bill on a gross line and pay on a 65-character line. that is just plain old dishonest. not good business practice in my opinion and cheating the MT who in the case happens to be your mom. how could you do that??? my suggestion would be to be honest and fair with you, your mom, and the office and do things in the normal manner. i hope that was a typo for your sake. GEEZZZZZZZ!!!! how many companies do cheat us all like that???
    AT&T will catch on if you use their plan a lot. SM
    They will (1) dump you from their plan, (2) send you a $4000 LD bill (back charges and (3) send a fraud investigator to your home. Been there, done that.
    Exactly, really can't catch when proofing as you go.
    Think about it, you are thinking, listening, typing, foot pedaling, etc., too much going on at once. Not to mention other distractions. Really can't proof as you go, just doesn't work. You have to stop at the end to concentrate and re-read it to catch all the errors. Trust me, I do audits and find errors in probably 8 out of every 10 reports, some very small but still errors. These are most likely from MTs who proof as they go. I totally understand MTs are paid on production and don't blame them one bit for not proofing at the end! But then also should not expect a perfect report or state that proofing as they go works, cause it really doesn't. Ever hear of a writer say oh you don't have to proofread or edit my book before publishing because I proof as I go?!?! Just some food for thought. ; )
    Thanks. I put this in Favorites to try when I catch a

    You never catch up with oncology....
    there is always different meds and procedures more than any other field I've done.  I quit after about a year.  Great experience but ya don't make the money. 
    Do you ever catch your typos?
    there wages - ?
    Good catch---
    nm
    I never heard of it. Will be sure to catch it.
    NM
    Oh, yeah...I catch your drift...sm
    All the liberal media is going to show us during a Republican administration is the bad stuff
    I agree. It seems like all of them want to play catch up on one day
    then they expect you to have ALL of their work done within TAT when they went beyond the agreed lines per day.
    CATCH PHRASES ARE "AMAZING" - NOT!

    It's time to move on from these phrases that I've heard ad nauseum from people who can't think of anything on their own.


    "At the end of the day."


    " . . . amazing."


    " . . . awesome."


    Anybody else?


     


    yes, I did catch it;hence the haha you missed it

    ooh, i catch jealosy vibes lol

    Hire my kid--he'll catch it for you! sm

    He loves snakes.  I don't care for them but we have lots around here too, especially in the spring when they are mating. I live in Illinois. They are regulars in my yard. The only thing he hasn't caught and brought home yet is a rattler. We've had hognose snakes, pregnant garter snakes, blue racers and regular garden snakes. He has a pet pine snake in my dining room.  Hubby and I don't like them but he is the one who takes care of the them, buys the food, cleans their little homes, etc.  My neighbor was once infested with blue racers and he went over there and caught them all and turned them loose. I bet there were 25 in the guy's garage. He made $50.00 for an hour's worth of work.  He had a pregnant garter snake once that gave birth to 20 little babies the size of nightcrawlers and sold them to the pet shop for $3.00 apiece. He doesn't do it anymore and he only has the one snake now, but I learned a lot just from watching him. I've been told that a black rat snake living under your deck in the winter is the best mouse control you can have.


    I notice that too. QA will eventually catch up to them.

    i do it occasionally when needing to catch up; sm
    as the other poster said, my production shows in the next 2 days though. i always keep a light on (not just a lamp). i have lots of dr. pepper. i usually do laundry so that every 45 mins or so i have to get up and fold another load and that keeps me awake. i avoid food as that will make me sleepy too. also do as the other poster said, don't surf the net at all as that makes me sleepy to. i stick to my work and knock it out as quickly as i can.
    Scan through and hopefully catch mistakes as I go. sm
    That don't pay me enough this day and time to proof every single word I type. Take our wages minus IC expenses and we aren't making much. I look at it like you pay for what you get sometimes. Now that isn't to say I don't care about quality as I do. I just proof as I go and try my best to catch it and be accurate but I do have 15 yrs exp and can usually tell immediately if I have made a typo. I may get a he or she mixed up here and there but no major errors in the report.
    Yeah, sometimes I catch mess-ups...sm
    when I go back through the report, and I say I am glad I proofread. LOL.
    Ok, Six Feet Under fans, did you catch it last night?
    I'm sad.
    You guys are better than I thought. I was wondering if you could catch those, lol nm
    :P
    I get tendinitis too occasionally. If I catch it in time, sm

    can avoid the trip to the orthopedist for the x-rays, exam, shot of Marcaine and big bill (ugh).  He gave me stretching exercises to do every hour or two, and I take 3-4 ibuprofen (actually, Advil Liquigels -- it may be just hype but I do believe they work faster) if I have a flare.


    Good luck.


    And the result is like a Catch-22. Clients/MTSOs

    so they turn to alternatives like offshore or VR.  But they don't look far enough to see that the root cause of not enough experienced MTs is because the experienced don't want to stay in a sinking ship.  I think they feel that using the excuse that lack of experienced MTs validates them turning to cheaper alternatives, which in turn, makes the ship sink even further.


    Did anyone catch the show with Sandra Bernhardt?
    Where she and Elizabeth had sort of a fight over politics. That was the best! lol
    It's very easy. You'll catch on in a flash.

    Oops. worth OF catch up and wants it ASAP.

    spellcheck...
    I can't end my document without running spellcheck. Yes, the incorrect spellings are underlined, but I don't always go back right then and correct them. But, when I end my document, spellcheck runs automatically. Even if it didn't, I'd run it just to be sure! Have a wonderful day!!!
    Need help with spellcheck, please!
    Does anyone know how to do this:   When in Windows Explorer, when you select say five documents to open, to have them all spellchecked as they open?  I have tried to find this information, but haven't been able to do so and have also tried to create a macro to do it.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks much and Happy Holidays!
    I mean ALT S (not Alt-C) will be spellcheck hot key

    That is what your spellcheck is for. (nm)

    Why do you need your spellcheck so BADLY?
    spellcheck...
    This makes sense, thank you.
    Anyone catch Discovery Health Channel last night?
    I always watch the Plastic Surgery epidoses with Dr. Jan Adams who narrates the different procedures profiled.  Anyhow, he was explaining how some patients are more susceptible to keloid formation, and in the subheadings where they type these words, they had it as "keyloid"  It just struck me as funny, being a medical show and all!
    don't worry, they'll catch it. Probably take it out of your next short paycheck.nm
    nm
    It was a joke. The poster didn't ask anyone to actually do those things. If you can't catch
    x
    great post; hope your ideas do catch on.

    It takes me three months, then I catch up and exceed the expectations.
    Also, takes about three months to decide if you even enjoy the work, company structure and your team members. If not happy, change teams or if it just does not fit, change teams until you feel at home. Being worried about your performed, feeling somwhat discouraged and even temporarily anxiety ridden is not unusual traits of a conscientious employee and valuable employee, by the way.
    I may even be able to proofread and catch spelling errors (interruptions)!

    new job - no medical spellcheck

    Hi all ... yesterday I started a new job - hospital MT, decent pay, great location. But guess what - the program is so old there is no medical spellcheck in it!  And the old lady that works the other shift, who's had the job for light years, does not use the AutoCorrect feature of MSWord!  The boss told me feel free to use it (thank God) - but can you imagine that?????   Any advice ? 


    Thanks guys!


    oh yes, I always spellcheck anyway, even if I have already corrected something. nm
    .
    Absolutely - a MUST to run spellcheck! nm
    x
    Maybe your spellcheck is outdated?
    and theirs is not?
    spellcheck in word

    I am working on a VR system doing editing - however when I run the spellcheck anything that has been changed shows up with all of the incorrect letters wherever they happened to be along with the correct word or phrase that has been corrected.  In other words if the word is not spelled correctly, I erase the word and type in the correct spelling, but in the spell check both show up.  Does anyone know how to turn off this function or if there is a way to turn it off?  It is driving me crazy - along with trying to learn to edit and the VR system.  Other than that - all is fine with the program.


     


     


    messes up spellcheck
    Yes, it can. Been there. My spellcheck even on slow check was skipping everything.
    They don't spellcheck? - not cool - sm
    I briefly go over my work (try to proof as I type) before I send it in, but always spellcheck. If it is in Word it should come up with a big red underline so they should see they have it wrong. If they are so lazy that they cannot go back over their work 1 time, then yeah I would get rid of them. As suggested below, give them 30-days or whatever of probation and if they don't clean up their act (and work) then let them go.
    if F-Lock key is on, then Alt C is spellcheck
    nm
    I had that keyboard and F7 was for spellcheck, but....
    You can change your F10 for shorthand. I used to use the number pad because I didn't use it for numbers. You might try that. I think I just used the number 5.
    Medical Spellcheck
    Thank you, I did check there, and the strange thing is, the custom dictionary is there and I checked inside and it's the medical dictionary, but it's not working. I'm putting a call into the tech. I can't believe he didn't think to look there. Of course, I probably should have figured that out myself. LOL.

    Had a free 30-day(?) trial. Also bought Instant Text after resisting for many years. Now I love it. Worth every penny.
