can you copy and paste?

If not, check this site out!!!

Wow - it is interesting. You know, there is actually an organization called The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in charge of standardizing all this stuff up-and-coming.

Did you read the part about "MT changing more in the next few years than it has in the last 100"

This is it, right at this site.

It is documentation that the doctor or nurse, or healthcare provider carries and enters at the time of service...

It even automatically codes for billing, etc.

Rather than 'free text' of a doctor dictating, it is standardized text where the person enters the info...

so much to it, and it is exciting, just wished we fit in somewhere...
copy & paste
long, drawn out process which will take tons of MW space, but it can be done.
You can just copy and paste.
Yes it will conform.  Also Word allows you to use your own spellcheck.  May be a bit cumbersome at first, but should work better than typing directly in Meditech.  It lags a lot. 
copy and paste
The only way I know is to copy and paste.
copy and paste into your address bar. x

Yes. Hit apply and either copy and paste, or
attach resume; however, some companies will not allow attachments.
A cover letter is always a good idea; just keep it short and to the point.

Happy Job Hunting.
How to copy & paste into FTP site?
I can't seem to figure it out?
The same way you copy/paste in all versions.
Ctrl + C to copy, Ctrl + V to paste.
COPY AND PASTE, IS THERE AN EASIER WAY?

The doctors I transcribe for are specialists so I do a full consultation but the doctors only want part of the consultation sent to the referring doctor so I copy and paste part of the dictation to a letter.  This very easy, but very time consuming.  Is there an easier way than to copy and paste for every letter. I am working in Word.


Copy & Paste in EditScript

Alice,
Do you need to upload the job first?
Can't you just go to the Search window and from the Search window use these functions again normally?

you can copy and paste from word to meditech...
It is alt V instead of ctrl V. It is VERY slow doing it that way though.
Here is the code. Just copy and paste it into your shorthand. (sm)
{@KEY BkSp}-year-old

I use "yo" for that. Also have "mo" for month-old since I do pediatrics.

The @KEY specifies ShortHand to make that keystroke within the code. It basically tells Shorthand to do a backspace after you use that shortcut.

Another example is bold.

{@KEY Ctrl+B}{@NOSPACE}

My shortcut for bold is "bo" and then I just continue typing. That way I don't lose my rhythm.
Anyone who needs a laugh, copy and paste link inside. sm

Please provide links, not copy/paste from other sites. NM

A macro can copy, switch to another document, paste, and
switch you back to your original document (or remain in the new document). Keyboard shortcuts can highlight lines or paragraphs to copy and open a new blank document. You don't really give enough info on exactly what you are doing to offer more help.
Thanks! That macro worked like a charm using the copy/paste method.
.
also possible copy/paste of document saved as "RTF" or "TXT" (sm)

usually works just fine ... I don't trust Word not to have eliminated "save to WP6" as an option since they have achieved near GLOBAL DOMINATION. (on my tool bar that starts with FILE, and end with HELP -- under HELP, there is WP help -- but it's not installed -- try that first-- maybe you have it)


I have my copy of Word set with save to RTF as the default (I hate Word) and have copied from that into both Bayscribe and Meditech without difficulty while copy/pasting WORD documents resulted in garbage


The tricky bits, irrc, had to do with tabs, indents bolding etc. -- (but in my case I was copying into proprietary software which didn't support those commands) --- so you will want to do a test run. I'd try RTF first -- hope you have "print preview" or a friend in the office -- good luck -- i


Let me get this straight. It is a copyright violation punishable if you copy and paste an article
but it is not a copyright violation if you copy and paste the link to the article? What the h*ll is the big deal?
if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V

That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.

Then you can paste it in a document.

It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.

It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.
How do you copy your SH file to text - do you copy each dictionary separately? nm

I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
Cut and Paste in DQS
If you Edit, Select All then press the control button and the number 5 (not F5), it will change it back correctly.
First paste it to..
notepad, adjust it and then copy it from there to paste in reply to job ads.
Cut and paste in Radnet
That is exactly what I did. I used a macro program (Macro Express) to make the "Page Up" key highlight and cut the text from Word and the "Page Down" key paste it into RadNet. I couldn't see any other way of doing it, since I hate typing online with the delayed keystrokes, etc. I used Dragon Naturally Speaking until we upgraded to XP, then it wouldn't work anymore without upgrading, but Word/AutoCorrect saved the day.
We can't cut and paste from word

into that platform, they say it messes up the format in the original reports....so I don't do that, but I do copy the note from the Emdat platform into a word document to make sure I haven't missed anything because my Word program has a better spellchecker. 


I did not know that you could use Shorthand in there...I really don't know what that is...I had Stedman's word Expander program (can't recall the name right now), but my company said it won't work in the Emdat program.....is it call shorthand...do you have the link?  I would appreciate any information.


Thanks!


always paste it in e-mail
I do not think I have ever sent it as an attachment, I always hit the apply now button and paste it in the box provided.
I guess the paste and cut really works SM

I too use Meditch and cut and paste from Word...sm

You can set up Meditch to use a Word interface, which is what i do, and then i cut and paste from my verision of Word to the Meditech version of Word. 


I have a remote desktop that i connect to and so i basically have 2 desktops running at the same time..."mine" and "theirs."  It is quick and easy to switch back between the 2 and do a cut and paste.  If you cut and paste directly into the meditech screen it is very slow and painful.  I too have found that the spellchecker and also the expansion component in Meditech is totally useless.  I use Speedtype and it will work in the version of Meditech that I am using.


If you want to know how to set up the Word Interface in Meditech just send me a pm and I can send you the instructions.  It takes just a couple of minutes to do.

Can you cut and paste from Word to Meditech?
Can someone tell me if I can type a report in word and use the bold function, then cut and paste it into Meditech and still have the bold sections bolded (blue)? Also, will lines wrap around correctly when using the tab key.  
Thanks for the reminder, will paste it on my desk! nm
..
(sorry - URL didn't "take"), so cut & paste!

Writing!
We will be praying for you! I too have had a lifelong dream to write (short stories and a novel) but also settled for a steady paycheck. Still get to put words on paper, just not my words! I wonder how many of us share the dream of earning a living writing? Maybe we can start a support group?
So we are writing our own BOS, right??
A logical book with classic rules that don't change every three years would be great! If we follow older rules like the MDs are used to, they'll think we're brilliant and the foreign AAMT BOS followers are idiots!
You should consider writing
a humor column for a newspaper free lance!! You have a great sense of Humor and good writing!! By the way, I agree totally with you about this job!! I think the Twinkie thing sounds like a good job.
I use a bit of water and honey to make a paste.

It won't minimize so you can see Word in one and QLDB in another, and won't cut and paste. SM

There's nothing "wrong" with my CD, it's just that this edition (2007) doesn't have some of the functions of earlier versions.  It's not something you would find out unless you bought it and installed it.  If you don't care about those functions, go ahead and spend your money.  But for just the wild card or fuzzy search function there are other places on the web, that do not charge, and where you can minimize and cut and paste. 


This was discussed on a couple of other MT boards, with the same conclusion and disappointment as above. 


You decide.

I'm ready to sign! But when I cut & paste it to my browser,
nothing comes up.
Paste this into your Shorthand "text to type" box
x{@KEY Shift+Ctrl+-}ray

This code will give you a nonbreaking hyphen. You can give it whatever keyword you want (I just use xr).

You can copy and paste the code between the {} into any shortcut where you want a nonbreaking hyphen. HTH! :)
I'd work in Word and cut and paste into their system. SM
Ask them if you can type it in Microsoft Word and then cut and paste (copy the Word document and paste it into their system).

It is not feasible to work without a spell checker. Word has a pretty good spell and grammar checker and there is no reason to do without it.

See if their "tech" department can come up with a macro to copy the text of the Word document and paste it into their program. Or, you could create a Word macro and paste it into their system. Either way. There is an excellent Macro recording program called Macro ToolWorks which is free for 30 days and then $40.00 that can duplicate key strokes and mouse movements, and could copy the document, go to their program and paste it in. They you'd just hit one button, like the Ctrl button plus a number. Their tech department should only take one or two days to come up with some solution.

Good luck. I just would not work without Word spell checker and also Steadman Medical Spell Checker. Essentials to any production typing job. Good luck !
Can you Ctrl + A to select the whole thing, then paste... sm
to a Word document? Ctrl + A is a Windows shortcut that works is most all programs.
Not in Writing, but they are paying
Spot checks show they are paying me for spaces and for headers.
Resume writing - what to put - sm
I have been an IC for about 10 years and have worked for several clients. Is it proper to put names of companies in resume? It looks pretty blank with just my name, company, and that I transcribed a variety of reports, etc.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
are you enjoying writing to yourself
on your hands
is this the writing on the wall for us? is there nothing we can do??
are we being sold-out by our own profession?
my opinion is to get everything in writing. sm

I signed a contract with my local company that says that I can pick up my own accounts on the side, but cannot offer to take over one of her accounts even if I do the same doctor every day, which I basically do.


Don't get me wrong here.  My "boss" is wonderful and she's very good.  She started out small (just herself) and now has built up a respectable business with a half dozen part time MT's and a part time editor.


However, if she started slacking off and I were in your situation, I would ask her to put in writing and sign it, saying that it was okay for me to take over the account.  I would then keep a copy and give a copy to the account that wants me to work for them.  That way your bases are covered and the "boss" that you work for can't come back at you for breach of contract, etc., even if she didn't make you sign anything when you first started working for her.  She doesn't sound too nice, so there could be problems for you without having it in writing.


Once you have your signed paper, by all means, pick up that account!  Sounds good.  I would love it if my boss said, "I'm not going to do Dr. Soandso any more, so if you want it, it's yours."  I'd still make sure I got it in writing.


Good luck!


After having the ink dry


I saw the writing on the wall with them
More than 2 years ago I decided to quit lining their pockets with my hard-earned money to support their "garden party" mentality and grossly overpriced coferences that are too expensive for the average MT to attend (come on, do we really need an annual meeting in Hawaii???). I dropped my membership after more than 10 years of seeing no action, hearing of secret meetings, never ending in-fighting, and just a general attitude of them thinking it was up to the average working MT to support their grand "hobby" of being a board member while they sat around accomplishing nothing year after year.
Ask them but get the answer in writing if
they agree to it.
need help with resume writing

Hi there,


I have been working as an MT now since January and want to add this experience to my resume.  Can anyone help me make it look good?


Get everything in writing. When someone asks
if a company is flexible in hours, what does that mean? It could mean that they're willing to let you switch from the day shift to the evening shift if you request it. It could mean you have a window of time in which to complete your work. Or it could mean that you can work when you want. A question needs to be much more specific than that, and both the question and answer need to be in writing.
