One has set hours, the other has no set schedule. I wish I were spending more time on the no set schedule, but the main one is eating up my time. I have to do every single blessed OP note that is dictated for a hospital and pinch hit with the other work types. Today is slow, as Wednesdays are, and I will be working both jobs today and this evening.

I have done this for years and I find it never works really well. You end up short shrifting someone and more often than not, that someone is you. You end up tired, burned out and in pain from over typing.

There are no good answers for this. I am well paid, top $ at my set hours job, but the workflow is iffy and I don't make the amount of money I need there, no matter how many hours I put in. I have the second job to cover all of that and I can do well in shorter hours. Yes, I can make my second job my only job and I would like to do that. I tried 2 weeks ago to quit my primary and they begged me to stay. Can you spell S-U-C-K-E-R???

You're Missing the Autocorrect Setups
Haven't you gone to TOOLS/AUTOCORRECT, then in the first tab AUTOCORRECT, the very first item to check is the box for Correct Two Initial Capitals? Try that. If not, you have to set it up in auto correct manually to fix those combos you're typing. That would be in the same tab page, very last block then into the table below that, and put in your so-called errors and what they should be. I was a true-blue, die-hard WordPerfect fan for years, still am. Have 3 versions of it on my pc. I use Word (and took the time to learn and appreciate it) because that's just the way things are. It seemed the more I got better with it the more I appreciate some of it's nice features. Also, here's a clue about your period issue and the next letter not being capitalized. AGAIN, on that same TOOLS/AUTOCORRECT OPTIONS, then Autocorrect tab there's a block to check that says Capitalize First Letter of Sentence. Dig around and learn the program, I'll bet you'll like it and enjoy using it if you try a lot of setups and shortcuts. Most users have a mixed back of checked and unchecked options that makes this work best for their purposes. Best of luck to you.
