Again, quote mark problem in macro

Posted By: TheMacroDiva on 2008-08-23
In Reply to: macro to import expansion list into MSWord Autocorrect - TheMacroDiva

Same problem as before with a macro that I posted, only one quote mark where there should be two:


In the macro where you see:  cset:=("=)


there needs to be a quote mark on the other side of the equal sign:  =


Selection.MoveEndUntil(cset:=("=), Count:=wdForward)  should be: (substitute the quotemark for the word quotemark)


Selection.MoveEndUntil(cset:=(quotemark=quotemark), Count:=wdForward)


This quote mark needs to be inserted on both sides of the cset=("=) which is in the code twice.  If this instruction doesn't make sense to you, please e-mail me and I will send you the macro.


Hope this helps.

it's not my fault, the darn quote mark just doesn't post for some reason.
Okay, for some reason, the first quote at the front of qldc does not show up, but in the line autocorrect.entries.add name:=qldc" there needs to be a quote mark around each side of "qldc", not just at the end.

If you want to use this macro -- and find it won't work and are confused my instructions, please write me and I will e-mail the macro to you.

I really don't like the idea of people having to spend their meager pittance of a salary on expensive software to do such a simple thing.

You can use Shorthand to make a Macro, then bring the macro up in WP. nm

Re companion macro. Do you know there is already a macro
in Word that will create a document with all entries from both the normal.dot and the .acl file? The normal.dot only stores the formatted entries.
Don't quote me but I think it just may be
a couple of dollars cheaper but AAMT members I think get a discount, but again don't quote me. It runs around $300 approximately. The test is given in one sitting but does have two parts. It is given at a testing center. Go over to aamt.org and they have instructions on what is necessary to register and take the test.

Good luck.
quote
I work in a urgent psychiatric center and the reports have quite a bit of quotes.  If the doctor states "quote," I will put word for word what he said.  You cannot change the wording to make it more appropriate.  This includes grammer, i.e. I've, I'm and gonna. 
I think it's more than $500, but don't quote me
Also, hopefully they're a decent company. I worked as an IC for a company for three years. Twice I didn't get my 1099 until two days before taxes were due in April after calling and emailing over and over again. And last year, after I quit, I never received it at all.
You said, I quote:
'You really dont type any lines (already typed for you) so why get paid by the line?'

How else do you want to get paid doing VR? Only for every mistake corrected?
LOL ! Where is the logic?

We are also paid for the reading of the lines, this is work too, not only the typing!



This is a big question mark for me also.
I have SBC Unlimited currently & know they have been notorious for dumping their unlimited plans. There again, some of the girls on the boards have been, others haven't been. I'm afraid to risk it at this point. I'm getting ready to try Vonage VOIP - Small Business Unlimited Plan & can only hope it works out. It's going to cost me more, but I'm hoping that the increase in cost will offset my fear of being dumped from their service, out of work & with an astronical phone bill for the minutes over what was allowed. I'm petrified at this point. I haven't found anything that says it limits your usage to 5,000, but who knows what is in the fine print that I'm missing somewhere! I'm still digging & think I may try to call them. I also read in all my insundry print-outs, that some DSL carriers will block the ports needed for VOIP. Guess who my DSL carrier is - SBC !! I have no idea what is going to happen. I may end up retiring & end up going on welfare! If I find out anything further, I'll let you know.

Bad Mark Forstein
Mark Forstein seems like a very nice guy, but don't expect him to do anything on paper. He likes working on hand shakes so he can switch the deal on you later. He lives in Fort Lauderdale,FL now, and after retiring from Medquist, he tried investing in a Medical Billing Company called R-Solutions, but later took it over after the "brains" revealed that he didn't have the money he made Mark believe he had. After Mark took it over, he basically ran it to the ground. When he took over, it started a slow decline, then his wife took over, at it went out of business within 3 months. Meanwhile, he tried ripping people in debt off by starting a company called Nationwide Consumer Credit. This very shady non-profit business promised to help people out of debt, but the only thing they cared about was taking thier deposit. Rest assured they weren't trying to help people in debt. He set up a parent company called Landmark Credit Services to take the profit. BAD MARK FORSTEIN!!
I'm not sure who Mark Valenti is...
and why I would trust what he is putting on his website. It seems like capitalist propaganda to me.

Thanks for the link, but I think I will rely on my own research tools :o)
here is another brief quote from a website
"For example, says Suresh Menon of HealthScribe, one of the largest medical transcription companies"

Healthscribe was based in Sterling, Virginia. They joined up with Spheris. They will tell anyone that asks them, yes, we outsource to India.
Oh, I just love this quote --
"which requires extensive training and time to become proficient," Sims said.

Oh, and for all that extensive training, not to mention medical/pharmaceutical knowledge and proficiency with spelling and grammar, companies expect MTs to jump at an offer of 6 and 7 cpl??? Yeah, I'd chose this career path if I were a young person..Baaah

Your comment, and I quote: (sm)
"I wouldn't count on it!!!". You don't know jack sheit.
I live in a huge metropolis with many many large university-based teaching hospitals where MTs are in greet need, and since I've been there over 20+, I'm top dog. So don't be questioning me, or discounting what I am saying. I think you wish you were in my position. Just another case of jealousy rearing its ugly head. If you live in the boondocks and make crap money, then move to a large city where you call roll in the dough working this profession.

so good with words.  i bet you work for mq.
A famous quote comes to mind...

"Arguing with a fool is like arguing with a drunkard."


'Nuff said. 


Don't base your quote on rates

Why are you a better deal than anyone else?  It's not because of rate, it's because you care about your work and you're reliable -- what else?


ASK them what they've been paying -- they won't know because they probably won't understand their invoice.  Ask them to send you a copy of the invoice.  Reply to me privately if you need to, I'll help you figure it out. 


But even if you get that, keep the focus of the discussion off price, keep it on your quality, your caring, your reliability, what you can offer them.  Do you buy EVERYTHING based on price?  If not, think about the things you buy based on quality and base your letter on that. 


If your sole value is because you have the lowest price, you're fighting a losing battle.

"Duh" teacher quote of the week....sm
Last week a teacher wrote my sister that her daughter was easily distracted in the classroom.  Well guess what?  There are 32 kids in her class (above what the state requires but they have a teacher shortage) and my niece says the teacher lets the kids run wild.  No duh - I'd have a hard time concentrating with 32 kids in the classroom as well if I had 32 other 5th graders in the room. 
Maybe "disappointed" would be closer to the mark than "deeply saddened" over SM
something that is a nice gesture at Christmas. Why would you be "deeply saddened" over this?

I quote a price per gross 65 char line, say 12 cpl, but then convert

I have one client who doesn't want bulk and is Franklin condensed 10; another is on Garamond 12 with a 1 inch margin R and L. I take a large block of type, put in a format that gives me 65 char per line and do a line count that way and get a price for the whole block, for example, 58 gross lines at 12 cpl = $6.96. Then I take the same type and format it as the client wishes, get a line count and divide the dollar amount by the lines. If their formatted version came to 28 lines, then 6.96 divided by 28, would come to 24 cpl for their format. I always include a line on the invoice to indicate their 65 char line rate. Something like


2586 extended lines at 0.24 cpl = $620.64


(your line rate converts to 0.12 cpl for standard 65 char line)


I always educate the client as to the industry standard of the 65 char line which allows clients to compare apples to apples...

Macro

1.         Open a blank document.


 


2.         Type 3-4 question marks down in a single line.


 


3.         Put your cursor back up at the top before the first ? mark.


 


4.         Open tools Macros – Record new macro.


 


5.         Click keyboard – type in the combination of keys you want to use to jump (make sure that combination is not assigned to anything else).  I used Shift+Control+Alt J.  Then close that box out.


 


6.         With your mouse click Edit - Find – type a ? in the find box, click Find Next.  It will take your cursor to the first question mark (make sure it’s highlighted).  Then hit cancel to close out the find box, and click STOP on the macro button.


 

Now try the combination.
You don't need a macro for this.
Just insert fields in your template with Ctrl+F9 and when you create new docs, hit F11 to jump to the fields and start typing.
Macro
Go to this page which will display the macro that you need. You will have to edit one of the lines in order to create one space, instead of two.

You don't need a macro for this.
Use blank fields instead and all you have to do is hit F11 to jump to each field. Ctrl + F9 inserts a blank field. Search here for fields and you will see examples.
