Go do Dell.com and click on laptops. To the far right is an icon that says "looking for Windows
If you click on that, they offer computers that have XP on them already. I have not checked into this, but the prices listed are the same as for Vista computers. You might check it out, and let us know if it is legitimate. Good luck.
On your start up icon tray (right lower corner) there is

The programs don't show up there...
They are in the 'files' section. Any ideas how I would launch the installation from the files directory?

TIA :-)
Start, programs and it is listed there.
I downloaded it last week. Found it there after an hour of confusion and then made a shortcut to my desktop.
Go to Start, All Programs, Accessories sm

Under Accessories, go to Communications, and there should be a Remote Desktop Connection.


Hopefully it has all the information you need already there to connect....


If you have Windows XP Pro, you could click Start...

Set Program Access and Defaults, and make sure the email you want is listed as the default email.


You can also do it by going to Control Panel...Add Remove Programs, look to the left hand side and you'll see "Set Program Access and Defaults."


Hope this helps.

Word Expander Programs - Are there any expander programs that are easy to use and learn
that are similar to the MS Word expander?  I prefer something very simple.  I like MS Word expander; however I have gone over my limits and cannot add any more shortcuts so I need a program that will hold a larger amount of shortcuts.   Many thanks.
If they don't show up on play control, click on options, put a check mark by advanced controls fo

Your best bet is your local Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield company, depending on where you live

Here in Idaho, we have both companies but a lot of other states have BC/BS combined. Our family has a policy through Regence Blue Shield that is $196 for my husband and three kids. It has a $25 office copay and it is a limited policy, which is 12 office visits a year and lab up to $300. It works great for us because we never got to the doctor, yet we have it if we need it.


I have an individual policy for major medical, $35 office copay, with our local Blue Cross and it is $59 a month for me and it has prescription coverage too. Not a bad deal. I think they are your best bet for decent coverage at a good price.

Different Word programs
I've never really used Word, was in Word Perfect for years and then other proprietary platforms. I have Word 2007, which says it's home and student. Now I see some job ads which specifically say, no home or student versions. Why? What is the difference between versions, besides bigger price tags? Could I get a job using the version I've got? Also, would I need some tutorials in Word before launching into it? I always loved WP, myself.
Word Expansion Programs
I am trying to get a general idea of the best/worst Word Expansion programs available.  What do you use and how does it compare to others?  I know of Shorthand, PRD+, MedBrain, and good ol' Auto Correct.  Please give me your opinions.  Thank you very much ~
Word expander programs.

Is it worth it to purchase one of these?  I was looking at Instant Text.  Anyway, I have always just used the Expander (ESP) that came with Dictaphone Extext, plus ctrl-R (normals).  I came from a hospital that would not allow us to add software to their PC, just what was already built in so I am not familiar to what is out there.  I work for a national now and use my own computer.  I was wondering if it is worth it to purchase Instant Text just stick with what I got.  TIA. 


SmartType will run in Word client programs sm
I know this because I have used it in MedRite XL, Extext, MTWorld and Winscribe. There are a couple of others out that it will run with. Sometimes you have to futz a bit (Extext), but it will run.

SmartType is wonderful and I am VERY productive with it, BUT it will limit your career and flexibility somewhat if that is all you can or will use. It has to have Word or an actual Word client, you can't link it to IM, email or a funny platform like you can IT for instance. (SH will also do this.)

Unless you tend to stay at a job for years at a time, AND it is a Word client like Extext, it is best you have IT or SH because they are portable from one system to another. Much as I love ST and have used it for over 10 years, I can't unreservedly recommend it to anyone.
Did you click on Tools while in Word? -
Click on Tools, Options, then Spelling and Grammar, and under dictionary, it should have "Custom". Click on Custom for the custom dictionary, apply and OK.

type a medical word incorrectly and see if it is working....

Other than that, it could be in a Stedman's folder.

Instant Text claims compatibility with all word-based programs
I have used it with Word, PowerScribe, ExText, and a program based on MS Office online, the name of which escapes me. Works great.

larger text in Word - start by
to preview and select what suits you best. Toolbar should be showing at top of screen, pull down where is says what font type is in there. Otherwise, you can to either go to Tools to select the "formatting" toolbar, or go to View, then Font. Since my old eyes are going, I also choose the option to increase my page view to 150% (also on the toolbar at the top of your screen displaying some kind of number) by dropping down the menu (use the arrow next to it) and select the % that suits you best. Hope this helps.

the little white piece of paper icon to bring up the window where you ADD your new entries to, type your abbreviation in the Keyword box, then drop down to the Text to Type box and put in what you need it to say, then click Okay. You're done! If you want to delete your entry, arrow down to it, then click on the Trash Can icon. It'll ask if you want to put it on the clipboard, say yes and hit okay. If you want to modify it, use the little hand on the piece of paper icon. I like to click on the Disk icon to save stuff once I enter it, too, as a backup. If you're working and want to enter a paragraph or a page, you'll hightlight your stuff, bring up the ADD window, copy and paste it into the Text to Type area using the commands on the bottom of that box, name it, and hit okay. To use hot keys and stuff, you'll have to read the instructions in the help file. Good luck! ..nm

I LOVE your little icon thingy!

As usual, I am contributing nothing to the conversation, but had to thank you for the smile. 


Can you see the Icon in system tray..

Icon in rt lower screen, by your clock....

Looks like a keyboard and screen, very tiny, set mouse over it and it should say safely remove hardware -- click on it, and it will tell you what peripherals need to be clicked on before removing it.  If your peripheral is a USB and it has been installed before -- no, I don't turn my machine off UNLESS, I need to for it to be recognized -- I have an external hard drive that I have to do that with. 


Hope this helps

New icon shows you what post your on. On new threads you will see a hand
with italicized print on the post you have viewed. This feature is available on all new threads, but may not appear on old posts.  We hope this new feature is helpful to you.
Are you turning the volume using the home typist icon
or your regular volume control icon on the tool bar?

I have had that problem with some whispering dictators, so I mute the program itself just for that dictator.

It's a shame if you can't use it. I get a real rhythm going and my day just flies. I don't think I can type without it now.
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.

Thanks Administrator for putting the MQ icon by the recently posted msgs!
Just as I suggested/requested. This really does make this board a lot more manageable.
