I'd type AutoCorrect in the Help section to see what you get. No clue where they'd hide it!

in our transcription department we type milligrams/deciliter as mg/dl.  However, the transcription outsource service we have types it as mg/dcl.  Which is correct???

Here is the other thing - when the doctors dictate KCl 20 mEq, we type it as noted.  However, the service has been typing it as Kay Ciel 20 mEq.  We have asked them not to use KCl because the floors and docs might get confused (even though they are educated, they can be quite lazy), however, they won't stop doing it.  Have we been transcribing it wrong and the service is right???

Trying to get started with Focus and they require Microsoft Office Professional 2003.  I cannot get this from a reputable company.  They tell me that 2007 is not compatible with their system, but the people from microsoft doesn't see how it couldn't be.  Does anyone know a legal and reputable way to get this?

I have 1 year of experience.  Does anyone know of another good company that willh hire PT with this experience.  Thanks. 

Hi all ... yesterday I started a new job - hospital MT, decent pay, great location. But guess what - the program is so old there is no medical spellcheck in it!  And the old lady that works the other shift, who's had the job for light years, does not use the AutoCorrect feature of MSWord!  The boss told me feel free to use it (thank God) - but can you imagine that?????   Any advice ? 

Thanks guys!

I am working on a VR system doing editing - however when I run the spellcheck anything that has been changed shows up with all of the incorrect letters wherever they happened to be along with the correct word or phrase that has been corrected.  In other words if the word is not spelled correctly, I erase the word and type in the correct spelling, but in the spell check both show up.  Does anyone know how to turn off this function or if there is a way to turn it off?  It is driving me crazy - along with trying to learn to edit and the VR system.  Other than that - all is fine with the program.

There's PLENTY that spellcheck doesn't pick up - punctuation errors, possible omissions of prepositions and other words.....

So, if you strictly depend on Spellcheck - you're not ALL THERE!!!  *lol*

I'd never leave anything 100 percent up to some machine or program/software/hardware, et al. 

Throughout the day pick random reports to read completely just to check up on myself.  My QA scores are always well above the required 98%.  I could not get the line counts I do if I reread everything. 

that should cut down considerably on your need for proofing. Besides increasing your speed, shortcuts increase your accuracy, too, because the words are preprogrammed to be spelled correctly.

I don't work for one of the companies you describe but I have always proofed as I go and I don't go back and reread the report unless I am very tired, because I am particularly mistake-prone then.

TIA :-)
