IT for Dummies??

I need advice from all you kind knowledgable ITers out there.


Do you substitue letters for numbers on glossary entries?


When I am typing and say I would like line 3, but line 10 has a 3 in it (example: oriented x3) line 10 will come automatically. Does anyone know of any way to avoid this.


I am new to IT but am afraid as I more entries it will create a problem.


Thanks for your help and may God hold you in the palm of His hands!


 


 


Thanks so much! I see a Word for Dummies

Expanders for Dummies

Over the last several days I have been reading about Expanders on this board. A few names  mentioned have been Mary Morten, Barb Grow etc. I do have IT but am still learning to use it. Many advised to Google ABCZ.


I am sure this is all good advice (always is), but I always wonder what in the world are people talking about.I am not new to transcription but I am new to production. My mother is seriously ill and I chose to work at home to avoid placing her in a nursing home. My pay is still VERY LOW  and I look at these boards for help. I must admit, though, that most times the posts (not medically) are way over my head.


Can someone steer me in the right directon?


Thank you and may God hold you in the Palm of His Hand!! (green for Irish)


Check out "Transcription For Dummies"
Just saw this site today -- yet another scam. If you didn't know any better wouldn't that be a great way to work! Too sad.

Is there a Shorthand for dummies type of book?

I have ShortHand 10.0 through my company.   I'm reading the instruction file on the computer and it makes no sense at all to me and I find reading it on the computer is hard because I can't see the full page.   My company will not allow me to install a printer and I guess I could transfer the file to another computer using my flash drive, but it is 136 pages and I really would rather buy a book if there is such a thing.


I've spent about 2 hours browing Productivity Talk and there wasn't much information that was helpful and no mention of a book. 


Better than Word for Dummies is Cheryl Flanders' book.
www.cherylflanders.com

And no, I don't get anything for recommending it. It's just a great book for MTs that use MS Word.
Amen! A great IQ score is wonderful, but there are some dummies in the MT world!

I have wordperfect 12 - sm

How the heck do I double space??  I have been through the whole tool bar and cannot find where I can double space.  what I have found is how to space between paragraphs, which is not what I need.  I need to double space my report.


 


please help me   I'm almost crying over this.


I have WordPerfect 11 and have no
problems with Vista. If yours is like mine, it came preloaded with Word 2007 as a trial basis. I just deleted 2007 and loaded my Word 2003 and have not had any problems. I don't know why WordPerfect 11 and 12 would be so different. Maybe you can go to the WordPerfect site and see if it says anything about Vista, or maybe even the Microsoft site.
WordPerfect
Wondering if anyone can help me figure this out. I am trying to put the patient's name flush left on the top of the page and CENTER the title on the same line. It keeps centering the name with the title...what am I missing?
WordPerfect X3

I just bought & installed WP X3.  My office requires that all documents are password protected.  As I save my documents, I can 'see' the password protect box, but the program does not allow me to check the box & give a password.


Is there something in X3 that I need to go to that will allow me to use passwords?  I can't find it anywhere in the program & I've used Help, etc.


Thanks!


WordPerfect??
I am wondering how you put the places in your document that you can jump while typing dictation in WordPerfect?  Can anyone help me?
Wordperfect 5.1 for Dos - does anyone use this anymore? sm
I' m not sure what board to put this one but . . . I have an computer with Wordperfect 5.1 for DOS on it that I've kept around "just in case."  Are there any companies that actually use this program anymore or is it safe to say that I can get rid of it? TIA
Another WordPerfect question sm

I had to install WordPerfect 6.1 for a new client's work.  I already have WordPerfect Suite 12 on my computer, but now WP 6.1 is apparently set up as the default WP program and any time I open a WP document from the Documents menu instead of with WP 12 running, it opens as a WP 6.1 document.


How do I re-set WP 12 as the default WP program?? I have a ton of personal documents in there (I don't currently use it for a client).  I wouldn't mind so much, except that one document I use all the time, my telephone list, opens in WP 6.1 (instead of WP 12, where I originally created it) and then when I try to scroll down it says "insufficient memory" and the program closes.   HELP!!!!


TIA.


WordPerfect for DOS or Windows?
Either way, you'd have to write a macro or something that would find the next instance of what your jump marker might be, and go there.
Help with WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows
Long story short, I do dictation at a hospital where we use WordPerfect 6.1 for Windows.  I am going to be doing dictation at home and then pasting the file in WordPercfect at the hospital.  I was looking for a way to convert files from MS Word into to WP, but wasn't successful in that so now I'm trying to find a copy of WP 6.1 and am not having any luck.  Does someone know where I might could download this as I need it ASAP or can you use another version of WP with 6.1?  Thanks in advance.
If it comes with WordPerfect, it doesn't come with MS Word.
Unless you pay extra and special order it. One or the other, not both.
Just had to switch from Word to WordPerfect. Could someone please tell me in the
mess that is Corel Office, where I find UNDERSTANDABLE directions for making macros for headings, etc??
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.
WordPerfect is 6.1 (I think) and Word is 2003

Any version of WordPerfect will be compatible. nm

Stedman's Spellchecker and WordPerfect

I have Microsoft Word and I have Stedman's Spellchecker on it, but I now also have WordPerfect and am wondering how I get it to pick up the spellchecker?  Anyone know?  Thanks!


Need MQ MTS shell help ASAP!!

My dictionary is doing something strange.  Before, when I had a misspelled word it would bring up a yellow box with other words (listed a, b, c and so on) and I could choose the correct word.  It suddenly stopped doing that one day!  Now I have to either figure out how to really spell it (I'm a horrible speller) or look it up rather than have the program drag up similar words.


Any ideas how I fix this?  It's really bothering me and slowing me way, way down.  I even re-formatted the dictionary.


THANK YOU!!!


Need recipe ASAP!! (sm)
Ok, someone please help me find a recipe for this stuff .. my mother wants it bad and is driving me nuts over it.  Cannot believe a web search has not helped..I may not have the correct name it's called.  She is wanting to make some of those "cheese rings" this weekend.  They look like a cookie, but not sweet.  Usually made with a cookie press I believe.  Just a strong cheddar cheese taste..made like the regular spritz cookies I think.  My great grandmother was the only one we ever knew that made them back in Carolina..can't seem to find anyone here in the central US that knows what it is LOL  Thanks!
Need info ASAP

WordZXpressed in Georgia, are they any good, what do they pay, etc.?  Any info.Alice


Need Advice ASAP
I was offered 60 minutes of transcription for $40.00.  I am new and I do not know if that is good or not.  Looking through the samples it seems he says the same thing over and over again so you can macro the physical examinations.  Please give me advice.  Right now I am in school, pregnant, and work full time.  My goal is to stay home but it seems he should pay $60.00 for 60 minutes.  Please give some advice I am a new Transcriptionist and I do not want to be used.
HELP (sorry for shouting) but I need help ASAP sm

here's the instructions I have been given with name of company, etc. deleted


Accessing test dictation:  Using your internet browser , open our site: (name has been changed to yadayadayada for privacy purposes)   


ftp://yadayadayada.com/medical/  


This does NOT work as a link; you must type in the address yourself in your browser or copy and paste the address into your browser.    


You will either be prompted to log in  


User name:  yadayadayada Password:    yadayadayada 


You will see many folders.  Double click on the testing folder.


 please download "testnotes.zip"   


To download, simply double-click on the file in question and it will take it over to your hard drive.`  You will first need to "unzip" these files using Winzip. 


 


Okay, I've done all of the above but now how do I get it to play like these instructions in bold say I can.


 


Once unzipped, these files can be played with any .wav file player.  Your computer's sound card will have software which will allow you to play the file.


in hospitals it seems always ASAP - SM
I work rad (employee) in a hospital, and they are always ALWAYS working to improve TAT. From the time the exam is done to complete dictation, they want 3-4 hours. That means if your doc delays the dictation, they want transcription NOW because the doc took so long.

However, in the situation you describe, checking back in 1-2 hours should not matter that much. You should just let them know the deal - they probably know how that radiologist is as much (or better) than you. Maybe they/he could call or email when he is done?

My hospital has a contract with a sister hospital to do their radiology - they have radiologists that do this exact same thing. We told them when our staffing is available. If they do not dictate during that time, then their reports are delayed -- no question. they have to deal with it.

Doing it yourself, your situation is different, of course, but hopefully they would work with you to let you know when the work is available so that you don't have to be "on call" for them.

As far as line rates, I can't say an average. I have another rad account that I do at $.15/line, but this is 3 days a week for a mobile service (TAT is 1-3 DAYS here...) I would charge more if they needed it "now", especially if they wouldn't work with me as to when "now" might be!

Long answer - hope it helps.
Feel free to email with any more questions if you want.
Pls contact me ASAP!
Please send me a personal pm with your contact details, basic information re: client, location, etc. Pending receipt of your mail, I will establish contact with you details.


Wordperfect instruction sites that are easy

I figured out how to assign shortcut keys to macros in Wordperfect and I found a bunch of other useful instructions for WP at these two sites:

Didn't YOG use WordPerfect 5.1? Hold still my heart.

In WordPerfect, could someone please tell me how to make a line break

How to copy macros from WordPerfect to Word
Does anyone know how to do this?  Would save so much time, as we have tons. Thanks for any ideas!
Depends on the versions of Word and WordPerfect. sm
Some WP versions can read Word .doc files, some don't. Some versions of WP will not accept copy/paste from Word. The advice to save the Word document as an .rtf file may be your only choice.

HELP-ASAP Tract or track (sm)

Haven't been doing surgery for a while and cannot remember the rule for tract/track.  Couldn't find it in the AAMT BOS either.  Thanks!!


EX:  I probed this area with a Q-tip and found that she, indeed, has a sinus tract/track leading to a cavity below the healed skin.


Call a lawyer ASAP!!
You can get advice from an attorney free for the first consultation--just make sure attorney specializes in land purchases and sales so you're given good info. You also need to go to your court house or whereever your land deed is recorded and find out what is required by the court for a legal sale of that land, get copies of everything pertaining to it, check on the taxes to make sure they are all paid or not. Lawyers do take payment plans. Don't wait on this one--if you don't want to be homeless. When it comes to greed and some families, they could treat you worse than strangers. You don't pay your house payment to them, do you? What could happen is if this is a majority party contract--meaning only a certain number of owners are required for the sale to go through--that would be on your note, they could then charge you land rent--an exorbitant amount--to make you move, so see a lawyer ASAP and take all documentation with you. Everything.

Good Luck. I am really sorry this is happening to you.
Help need ASAP on word board
In the midst of a long radiology/onc report.

Help with Instant Text ASAP

My Instant Text "unloaded" itself while I was working last night.  I immediately tried to call support and e-mailed them, am still waiting to get ahold of them and the clock is ticking.  I turned my computer off and on and it stil does the same thing.  When I try to load the program, a box pops up saying it is loading glossaries and then the box disappears and Instant Text is not loaded.  Should I uninstall and reinstall it?  I have made copies of my glossaries to a floppy.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I can't get into the program at all to see if I accidentally set something wrong.

Anyone know how I can get the dictator to slow down? It would surely help me. TIA!!
I have a quick question - need help ASAP. sm
The company that I work for uses the iType program.  I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and if so how it was taken care of.  On some of the docs that I get to transcribe there is lots of static/cutting out (almost sounds as if there is a power shortage - that type of sound) in the dictation.  It is mostly when the docs speak close to the recording device or if they speak loudly.  I have tried different sound cards, adjusted speaker volume, tried different speakers and I still have this problem.  Any help would be appreciated. 
Even if it is a 2-week break? Need to know ASAP
My husband is switching jobs. Insurance was supposed to be covered through the month and now found it is until the 15th. I have MULTIPLE medical conditions, ones that the insurance we are changing to knows about because I cost them millions in the last few years. Please let me know. Our COBRA payment for 2-week coverage is $1,040 just for me. We are more than financially stapped right now.
Thanks, but I just bought one since I needed it ASAP.
Thanks anyhow ;-)
Bayscribe help needed ASAP! Is there a way

I can get directly back to a certain point in the text instead of having to relisten to the report again and try to find it?  I need to make some corrections in this HUGE report and it's going to take forever unless there's a trick to finding the specific point on the report.


THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!  


Assign shortcut keys to macro Wordperfect?

I have to switch to Wordperfect after working in MS Word for 7 years.  I have figured out how to record a macro, but how do you assign a shortcut key to it? 


What I am wanting to do is jump to the next * in my reports because that is how I move from heading to heading. 


The help section in WP just confused me


Any help is wonderful


Thanks


Is there any way to import Word Autocorrect entries into WordPerfect?

I've been Googling it and there is some info about going from WordPerfect to Word, but I can't find anything about importing them from Word to WordPerfect.


I just got really screwy account where we have to transcribe the reports in WordPerfect to get the line count, then save them in Word to send to the client.
