WordPerfect numbered list help please!
Just starting to use WordPerfect, so unfamiliar with it. I can't get numbered list feature set properly. I can get it to number, think I have it set, and then when I save the document, close, and reopen, it has changed. Pulling my hair out here :) Any help is appreciated.
If not doing a numbered list, you should be using a semi-colon.
Use the semi-colon (;), especially since you are likely using commas to separate dosage, quantity, etc.
When you are in the doctor's list (inside)
click on F2 (find), then put the doctor's first name or last name (if you can spell it), with 300 doctors, even using find may be difficult, but what I do if I don't have a clue about the last name (ESLs, like who can spell czhkztopok? duh), I put in the first name (it sometimes takes awhile to find the doctor but I usually do eventually). Or I will put in any part of the name and just keep going until I exhaust the doctors. Hope this helps.

Most accounts want you to do a numbered
list, but if not then yes you need to put a comma between drugs.  You are putting a period after mg (at least that is what is looks like to me) and that is not correct. 


Numbered lists in MS Word... How do you
Make the list NOT indent? I want it to stay flush on the right with the rest of the paragraphs? I feel like this should be something easy and I am just spacing out!
steps to becoming an IC
Just need someone to tell me the steps that need to be taken to become an IC.  I would love to have more flexibility in my schedule/hours than a national company can give.  I have a few people who have found out that I do transcription and seem interested if I would work for them on the side.  I would love to, but don't know how to get this going.  Do I need a business license?  If someone can either tell me what steps to take or where do I find just plain, straightforward information, I would appreciate it.
steps......and usually remember...say R U....sm
in your 50s?  This happens in our late 40s and 50s.....*L* - I call them brain *_arts*........don't know if you can type the word for flatulence *lol*
Steps for control T.
When using control/T to close out the Control/S document, you must make sure the Control/S document is fully open and that it is the document on top. The document you see should have "read only" next to the patient's name. If it is not on top, control/T will close out everything.

Here are the steps: When you open Control/S, pull up the doc you want to review, etc., it comes up first. When you go back to the document you're transcribing, the Control/S document goes behind your working document. When you minimize your working document to Control/T the viewing document, it will go to a split window, and then you have to make sure the reviewing document is on top before you Control/T. I hope this makes sense--You can't Control/T with a split window or both documents showing at the same time. You must click on the read only document to open it to view so there is no split screen and the only document you see is the read only document. Otherwise, you close out both documents.
Follow these steps....
You have 3 keys at the top of your C-phone, press the one on the far left with PROGM above it.  Then press KEYS (far left button also).  Select progm key comes up, press the button you are wanting to change (the one causing you to disconnect).  It then will ask you if you want to revise, answer yes.  Then press the multiplication sign X on the far right of your keypad (also labeled select).  Then press the Stop button located on the bottom section of your C-phone.  This is what works for me, hopefully this will help you too.
That's too many steps in a dialog box.
Word 2003 has a List Number style already formatted at the left margin that you can assign a keyboard shortcut to, then switch back to your default paragraph style after your list with Ctrl + Q.

Or you can turn on automatic numbering in the AutoCorrect/AutoFormat as You Type tab. Type your 1 and period and auto numbering starts. You'll get the auto indent, but you can hit Alt + Shift + left arrow to move the list to the left margin. You can shorten that shortcut by assigning something like Alt+L to the OutlinePromote command in the customize keyboard dialog box under all commands.

correct - they took global steps and is why they

since they are NO LONGER DEALING WITH ONLY AMERICAN MTs, their name is no longer AAMT -


Please recognize this.  Thank you.


 


 


You need two macros. Just record the steps
to change to higher level, and the second one to change it back. Be sure to assign shortcut keys to each.
I just go alt+T and A.It's so automatic I don't even think about it. SM

That's to add a word though. You don't scroll down through your entries to use an AC, do you?


For the asterisk: Just write a macro. Go to a document that has an asterisk in it.


Tools/Macros/Record new macro (The little tape-looking icon comes on your screen. It's like turning on a recorder).


EDIT/FIND/*/enter then stop recording.


I think that's right. I've had mine for so many years that I can't really remember what it says. You can e-mail me if you have trouble with it.


Should be automatic but if not
I had trouble with mine but then I realized that I had not followed directions completely as I had not closed ALL my programs before installing it and once I did that again with all windows/programs closed worked great.  If it is 2006 they suggest using the word "Rozerem" and "panitumumab" to check it.  Good luck. 
I fell down my steps in MARCH of 05 and my tailbone still ...

The UPS Store only allows the automatic $100 if you pay
them to package your stuff. I learned that one trying to ship equipment back to my former employer. I wasn't about the shell out even more money for them to box up something that I put back in the company's original box.

Automatic numberint
Hi everyone, can anyone tell me how to do automatic numbering after the number 9 so that from 10 on everything falls into place?  I just got scolded because one trainer tells me to leave as is because when the report is printed out it aligns, and now someone else told me FIX THAT!  Wow. I have no idea what to do.
no i'm glad i'm not the only one. I do have automatic
messed things up. They don't think about or care about things like that. My car payment is due tomorrow and i still don't have the money to pay it. thanks for listening.
automatic spacing

Hi,


If you have automatic spacing enabled in IT, it automatically inserts a tentative space after every expansion. If you then type a punctuation key, IT will then automatically jump back and remove that tentative space and insert the punctuation.


If you have both the built-in Expander in Chartnet enabled, along with IT, the two programs may conflict with each other so it would be best to disable the Chartnet expander while using IT.


Lastly, be sure you are using the latest release of IT which is 5.44 with a built date of May 2007 and if you are using Vista, make sure the User Account Control setting is disabled.

Tell us the exact steps you are taking to create your AutoText. sm
How many letters are you assigning to the shortcut name? You can't have 5 entries with the same name. Every name has to be unique. For example, if you assign abcde to an entry name, then create another entry with abcde as the name, Word will not know which name you want and you will get nothing.

Also go to Tools/Templates and Add-ins and tell us what shows up there. Some add-ins block Word from saving anything to the normal.dot (like Adobe, Norton, and Winfax Pro). Are you in fact running any of those programs? Some add-ins don't show in that window and you need to check for what's called COM add-ins.

you can try a test to see if your normal.dot is corrupt. Close Word and Outlook if you use that. Search for the normal.dot and right-click the file in the search window and rename the file to normal.old. Open Word and try to create an AutoText. Does it save now? If it does, you can use the Organizer to transfer your other customizations to the new normal.dot and then delete the old one. If it still doesn't work, delete the new normal.dot and change the name back on the old one.

Automatic Spacing and Decimals

Hello,


There a few options available with regards to automatic spacing and decimals. For a summary of these options, please see the link below.


Textware Solutions


Automatic spacing in shorthand?

Does anyone know how to set up 2 spaces after a period and 2 spaces after a colon in ShortHand version 10?  One poster here said that this:  {@@key Bksp}. worked and it did not work for me.  It worked once and then it erased the last letter as it put in the spaces.


Also Microsoft Word 2000 doesn't seem to have a spacing feature unless I am not looking in the right spot.  Wish I had IT as everyone says that is a no brainer to use and setup.  TIA.

yepper - automatic deduction from invoice
and was not told about it before the fact - just that the account was switching over - was sent the e-mail about "rental" after the fact - then when the foot pedal broke they wanted to charge me for the replacement. Hello? It's a RENTAL??? I still work there but am branching out. It is not the norm.
When you fall down a flight of steps and announce, "I have eccymosis over the lateral malleolus.&

Enclosed are the steps involved, my point of view only. Very long post. sm
1. Make sure you have the qualifications. If you have EXCELLENT spelling and grammer skills, good typing skills, complete attention to the smallest details, and willingness to work HARD and learn constantly, you may have what it takes.

2. Realize that you will not learn this career in 1-2 years. That is a good beginning, but then you will have an "apprenticeship" period. This runs anywhere from 1-3 years, depending on the job you get, the training available there, and your ability to branch out and absorb a constantly changing field.

3. Do your homework on the training schools. Some schools offer a program that will actually help you get a job when finished; others have a reputation that will allow you to hire with some companies as a "newbie." Don't waste money on a school that gives you a certificate and sends you out on your own. You may find it difficult to get a job without experience, and can't get experience without a job. I am not recommending a school. DO A LOT OF RESEARCH. Every school has "lucky" graduates, so get a consensus from MANY graduates.

4. If you expect to make a fortune, look elsewhere. You will find "exceptions" that make anywhere from $50 to $100 thousand a year. Most of us with a lot of experience make anywhere from $30 - $50, depending on your speed and stamina. Without stamina, you'll burn out or develop physical problems in a couple of years.

5. VR will never replace transcription. However, it takes a lot of knowledge to "proof" VR reports, and as the machines get smarter, we also must have more experience to catch their errors. I do not foresee us being replaced by machines. It is possible, though, that the wages will not go up because of this, and most MTs will stay on a plateau. Not easy, when cost of living keeps going up, but right now it is a reality, so consider it.

This is my view of the MT field, and its future. I have 18 years experience and have worked on the web for 9, since being outsourced from a hospital. It's a rough field, but not impossible, and I'm happy with it. I only have 10 years to go, though. I'm not sure I would start it now, if I were younger. You have to have a lot of determination. Good luck to you.
Does Dictatphone Ex-Text have automatic save as you are typing?

Thanks.


Oh, I thought it was an automatic thing on computers these days.
Maybe my hubby set ours up to do it; I'm not sure. It would be under START, then PROGRAMS, then ACCESSORIES, then SYSTEM TOOLS, then choose SYSTEM RESTORE.

Then it would ask you what date you want to restore to.
Something great-- Using Google-- set to use the automatic function of completing the search
For anyone like myself who never used the automatic completion function of Google, IT IS GREAT.

I just started using it, and when I typed in like the first 2 words of something I had never heard before, like say you were typing "sphincter of", then sphincter of Oddi would be one of the choices that Google would automatically bring up.

This is so great! What a time saver. Try it.

Someone with more tech expertise can maybe say how to set the settings so the Google automatic completion comes on. sometimes it would be there and sometimes not, but I downloaded some add-on for Firefox that makes it always there. It was the "Customize Google" add-on for Firefox.

So, if you are using Firefox (Mozilla) browser, go to the add-on page (Google it) and then download the "Customize Google" add-on and then set the settings. I think this was the most useful. There is a way to set it from Google, but it kept not working somehow, the settings would go away.

Other downloads I have used-- other Firefox add-ons that I found helpful: Adblock Plus. Google Toolbar for Firefox (different than Customize Google), and Auto Copy. -- Auto Copy will automatically put whatever you select on a Web sit onto your clipboard, so you can paste it right into the document.

Hope someone finds this all helpful. Thanks for all your gals' help over the years. I have learned a lot and got a lot of tips, and so wanted to post this.
medical abbreviation list and medical drug list
Hi,

Anyone there who could help me out finding the latest abbreviations list.
I even want the latest drug list because my current program does not have many drugs.

So if anyone could suggest anything which is available online for informationd quick look purposes.

any help for medical abbreviation list and medical drug list would be very helpful.

i think it is automatic speech recognition but it is the same as VR which is voice recognition.

not me. Sometimes I even wonder if I'm on the list...sm

his parents are elderly and are quite good at being graciously demanding. As soon as he walks in the door at 4:00 p.m., the phone is ringing wondering when he will be over to shovel the snow off of their walk - and they don't even leave the house. I definitely feel he puts his parents before me. Like the line "I knew it was over when...", when for our 25th anniversary, he gave me a $2.99 bouquet the night before and then planned to go to his mom's for dinner the night of. Not divorced, can't quite get to that but have the same fantasies of running away and boy, then would he be sorry  . Breaks my heart to hear people calling each other soulmates as I believe I will never have that.


It's pn my wish list too,
but the one I tried out in the store had so many hard spots in it, I don't think it would be very comfortable to sit in all day.
wish list
I wish to find a company that:
Goes by lines/production and lets me have a window (12 or 24 hrs)instead of keeping a timecard.
Does not use a platform!! Maybe just has an FTP site or something, download the voice, then upload the jobs when done.
Not constantly IM'ing me!
this list
Would love to see a copy of this as well. Thanks.
I won't list them all but -

my hubby absolutely cracks me up.  He has a wonderful sense of humor and makes me laugh everyday (even on those "bad" days).  He tells me daily that he loves me or asks me "Do you know how much I love you?"  He is the only man I have ever been in love with AND trusted.

YES, we have a lot of pets! I had 1 dog, 1 cat, 1 bunny and the goldfish and when we got married last month my husband had the 4 cats and 2 dogs... so now we have a full house for sure!!!

No GAB on my list either
How do I get the GAB on my list? 
here is a list of what i did
Completely and totally uninstall ANY remant you have of the program.  Then try a reinstall.  If that does not work, I would suggest calling Stedmans...they may have a patch.  I didn't get a new dictionary until the 2007 version so there may be something in there that they can give you to solve the issue.
when I do that, I have to do it for each list, is there a way...
to make it stay that way all of the time?
