to glo file. Use the Alt key trick to highlight just the column of words, then Shift + F3 to toggle through the change case commands. First save your glossary under a different name so you also keep the original.

Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm

I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank.  When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you

Info/help on open Word 2007 docx with Word 2003.

I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.


I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?


Darn Microsoft.


it is attached to your version of Word. Open Word and it'll be on your tool bar. NM

You can highlight the entire list and use the convert text to table option in Word. You can highligh
You'll want to convert with 4 columns because you have a paragraph between each address. That paragraph will wind up in the 4th column. When you're done, you can highlight that column and delete it.
Program called Switch can change one type of file into another.

I have that problem when I go from the computer to the phone and have to switch my headphones from stereo to mono (there's a switch and a volume dial on the cord of my headphones).  When I'm connected to the computer I can use the stereo with no problems.  It is possible that your headphones are only mono.  I got my headphones at Radio Shack, nice long cord and volume in the cord.  Hope you can figure this out.  I'd rather transcribe from my computer than from the phone as the quality is MUCH better.
Usually totally quiet, maybe back slider open for windchimes - sm
and the birds chirping. But have to work a lot with the TV on (kids in my BR watching a tape/DVD/TV) which they keep as low as possible but very distracting. Like it best when totally quiet though.
You should have no problem..just save your document in Word. A lot of our MTs use WP 10 (sm)
and as long as they save it as a Word document it pulls up fine in Word for the client.
How To Save Word Autocorrect Entries
Would someone kindly tell me how to save your Word 2003 autocorrect entries?  I need to do a complete reinstall of Word?  Thank you very much !
FYI I HAVE reference books, but in case you hadn't noticed, thing change a lot faster than BOOKS
I was simply asking for suggestions of other places on line that I might look for the latest info, especially considering that my work is on the internet, what the hell is wrong with trying to be more productive and efficient?!?! Good Grief!!
Does your program change lower case to upper? If so, type all in lower and
it will change the ones it is supposed to.
If it's in Word, just right click it and save it. If another format, copy

NOW IT WENT HUGER!!! CHANGE BACK?
oh no. Any idea how to change it back? Everything is gimungus, even my home page font. What a cruel joke. Is that what I get for complaining?
You're right, it's not going to change back to what it was, but

we can still be competitive. Why would medical professionals take the chance of offshoring their patient's medical records if it can be done right here in the US?  Competition. That's what our goal needs to be.


What shocks and amazes me is how so many American workers are so willing to just lay down and get screwed instead of adapt by being competitive.  Adapting doesn't mean you have to accept offshoring at all. 


For those of you who see my point, kudos to you.  For those of you who don't, grow a brain.


That's another one -- ALWAYS saying 'go back and change that'
I wish I got paid by what I typed rather than what I send in; one doctor would be paying triple because he always goes back and rephrases what he has said, sometimes while he is saying it and a lot of times at the end of the letter, and I am supposed to figure out exactly which parts to take out and what to change and leave in.
Just ranting - - not expecting miracles; I know I can't change the way they dictate, but I can come here and rant about it!
Word vs. Open Office
I have an even better idea than spending money on Word. I'm doing this myself. Log on to: www.openoffice.org and read about it, then download it and start using it. I love it! It's absolutely free. No risk of marketers getting your email address and bombarding you with junk mail. I learned about it through our I.T. Dept. It works exactly like Word! You can even use the spreadsheet and other features, but all I really use is the word processing part. Check it out and let everybody know what you think. I'm very happy I learned about it. :)
You do not say which version of Word you are using but if you open--sm
File, Print, and in the box 'print what' click on the down arrow and choose key assignments. Sorry, I do not use templates much so maybe someone else can answer that, or go the 'help' and you may find the answer there. Hopes this helps
Open up a word document to use as a
template.  Do view header.  Go into th e header of your word document.  Go back to your scanned document, highlight the pic and right click to copy.  Then go back to your word document that you created and paste into the header.  Do the same if there is a footer.  Hope this helps.
