taking focus away from your Word program. Do you have Windows indexing running? Does your antivirus run when working in Word?

Sounds like there may be another program running in the background.
Ctrl+Alt+Delete ONE time and check the applications that are running. Close any that are not needed/wanted.
Also, run a virus scan to make sure there are no stealth programs such as key logger, virus, etc. that are running and could be slower your computer down.
Are you transcribing directly from an Internet download? If so, the speed that carrier is quoting is MAX speed, not constant speed; if there are a lot of other people on your "line", then speed will be slower.
In general business're running slower than usual but running. NM

Background
On microsoft word - My background is white, and I would like to change it to a darker color. The white is too bright and hurts my eyes. I had done it once before, but forgot how to do it. I do remember doing it through Control Panel?
Thanks
Yes, I keep it low in the background. nm

not sure your background
but if i understand, you've had your training and can't get a job yet? If that is the case, i would highly recommend working on-site in a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital to get on-the-job experience before trying to work at home. I've been at this 30+ years and THAT is the way to get started, and have a good start.
Has anyone ever done a background check?
Do you really get all the info that they say you can? If you have, where did you get it from? I'm trying to get some info on a spouse of a married friend who is acting REALLY weird right now.
Thanks
I think they should do a background check also. nm

yes, they definitely do a background check. - sm
Look, if you were to work in a hospital, wouldn't you be required to have a drug screen and background check??? I have worked in 8 hospitals, and about 6 of them required that I have a drug screen and a background check.
I don't understand why "Desperado" got so worried about the whole "physical and drug screen and background check" statement with Diskriter. Hmmm... maybe she has something to hide.
Her background? I cannot name the number of
Master-degreed nurses I have worked with and done transcription for who are not able to annunciate or spell terminology and medications, etc. When I would ask them about their dictation, they wouldn't even know what they were reading off on simple radiology and lab reports, etc. It was shocking.
Her "background" does not necessarily give her what she needs. Whether she needs to make haste on an MT school/course depends truly on how competent of a student she was in her nursing studies.
What's the background/motive?

Music in the background
I have to turn on my music in the background. It is just distracting enough to force me to focus on my dictator..sounds crazy doesn't it?! That is for the boredom. Sometimes I don't even realize I'm not working and my mind is just drifting off. For the inconsistent income, I have a side income not involved in MT and when things get slow here, I just switch my focus to my other at-home business. Good luck to you!
background check
I am in school and want to know if a misdemeanor-disorderly conduct-from 11 years ago will affect me getting hired as an MT. Also I have a recent arrest(a year ago) but it was dismissed-DH and I fought and ended up being the one to go. They even sent me to victim's class. We have been to therapy, counseling, etc. I am an A student and never had anything but good employment history. I am in school now and stressed out about whether this stuff will affect my job placement. Any advice?
Background color
How do you change the background color. I want a blue background and blue text???
Background check
Anybody know if Milner transcription out of Georgia does a background check?
What is your background enabling
How many years of experience do you have? What school did you attend? Your post comes off sort of "above all". QA is just that in my opinion. If not for the blanks, you wouldn't have a job lady.
I think with just the limited background you have had
probably will need more training to do the 4s. Some folks say they just started in it but places looking for experience, most of them anyway. You might find a place to hire a newbie. The 4s mean everything so you have to be versed on any kind of medical dictation they can throw at you.
Background noise!
Have to voice my very, very most reviled pet peeve about transcription, and it seems to be getting worse. The nurses gabbing, cackling, gossiping, laughing in the background. Makes me crazy. Thankx 
a little more background info
I was an MT for 12 years, enjoyed it, and did very well at it. I worked in hospitals doing all types of clinical (H&P, disch summaries, progress notes, all types of surgeries, etc) transcription including radiology (6 years) and a little pathology. The main reason I left was for job security.
background checks
If the company uses the information found in background check so verify identity, its okay, but if they do it to check for convictions of certain crimes, I think they should not use crimes that were not computer-related against individuals. If you got arrested for shoplifting when you were a teenages, I dont think it should be used against you 30 years later. Is there anyone out there who has ever gotten let go because of information on thier background check that involved a conviction??
Don't have to submit to background check, BUT
Sure, you can refuse a background check, but you won't get the job offer, either. Rights or no rights, the employer still holds all the cards on this one.
Is your background in acute care?
Sounds like your experience may be in clinic and you are testing for acute care. Is this the case?
And....HE'S OFF (galloping horses in the background)!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh.
Wow! At least I can understand his English this time!
some nationals do a background check - sm
I know for a fact that Diskriter does a background check. They do this because they are giving you a computer, as well as the fact that you are going to possibly be on accounts that give you access to patient information, i.e. SSN/insurance numbers, address, etc. This is, and has been, a fact that there have been transcriptionists that have committed identity theft in the past.
What color is the background of your screen for
nm
changing background colors
1. Click on Start | Control Panel | Display | Appearance | Advanced
2. Cick in the White box that says "Windows Text"
3. Under Item you'll have Window and under Color 1 you'll have you're bright white.
4. Click on the down arrow and either pick one of the colors you see or click on Other.
5. Click on the white box (lower right) and on the far right a bar will appear that goes from bright white to black. Click down the bar a little bit at a time until you get the color you like. You'll see the colors change in the COLOR box. When you have the color you like, click "Add to Custom Colors" and then click OK. Click OK twice more.
You have now changed the display on your screen alone. Whoever you send the file to will see it according to their settings.
Doesn't help with background noise.
I have been using Turtle Beach for quite a while now. It does help clarify the actual dictators voice with normal settings; however, if you start messing with the background noise reduction settings all it will do is distort the dictators voice. Trust me. I have played around with the settings alot b/c one of my docs likes to rattle his x-rays around as he looks at them. Ouch! My ears!
Escription background color? HELP! sm
How can I change the background color on Escription? I'm running it with MS Office 2003 if that helps/makes a difference. The white is causing some serious eye strain and by the end of my shift my eyes are burning and I have a headache. If I can change it to a different/duller color it might helpl.
THANKS!
Background (radio), but I would love to know
if you can have it on your computer, headset, while working. I do not know how to do that, but it would be great to have classical in the background of the dictators!
hoped to use the speakers in background
instead of having both come through the headphones. Would probably have to have two soundcards or something.
I use Avast...it updates almost every day and runs in the background....
all the time. If I get an email attachment within attachment from forwards, it checks all of them before I even open it. It's a free program, too.
Background checks on MTs fro third world countries?? LoL. Are you serious? nm
:+
I always have satellite radio playing in the background. sm
There's a good variety of relaxing music. I have it on even when I'm not transcribing.
I think it also relaxes my dogs cause they sure sleep well when it's on:)
Ohmy yes...and the one in the background is never that clear when I'm doing his charts! nm

pay for extensive criminal background check
Hospital background check laws
Can someone tell me where I can find the hospital background check laws? Looking for IL mainly. Thanks.
I need absolute silence in the background when transcribing. sm
Even nice sounding music bugs me. Silence, please
Speaking of needing tunes in the background
My kids and their friends threaten to video me on their phones and post it on YouTube or something because.... honestly, sometimes I get really rockin when I'm working. Heee heee
Then I came across this video the other day and I thought.... Oh My! That could be ME caught in a "moment" one of these days.
Will try to link to the video. Hopefully it works.
Background color on typing screen
I just got a new pc from the company and want to restore the aqua background color on my typing screen. The black on white is too harsh for my eyes. I have lost the instructions. Can anyone help, please? Thanks so much.
If you used an Aqua background, you probably changed the color in
Windows properties on the Appearance tab. Right-click a blank area on your desktop and select Properties/Appearance tab.
RE: Background color on typing screen
Thanks for all of your suggestions. The closest I could come to what I had done before was:
Start, control panel, display, appearance (advanced tab), Item: (dropdown list - chose application background), color1: (dropdown color choices - chose aqua and clicked OK. It didn't make my typing screen for MT work aqua as it had been before. Wish I could find my instructions !!!!
I'm running XP pro w/sp2 and I keep
my machine in tip top condition w/regards to antivirus, antispyware, firewall updates etc...
everything is running well except for DQS which is still lagging today..
Running
Running and cardio in general is really awesome, but make sure you are doing some weight training. You will have faster results and not so flabby when that fat starts coming off. Cardio will burn calories when exercising, but weight training will help burn 24 hours. Burn the butter baby!!!
He might not know about running a
top notch company, but he knows about being a good lover. That's for sure.
They must be running more than 1 ad.
I saw the first one and now it's got the airplane.
What happens when the do get th EMR up and running
Then you won't have that account. Sounds like they needs something fast and temporary. Stick to your current rate.
I can see what is running, but how do you them off?
Thanks
Is DQS up and running now? nm
//
now we see who's running this
You're right. You're best bet is to wait until payday to quit. These people are nasty. Do you think she thinks she can take advantage of you because you're foreign (your words, not mine)? You obviously aren't that foreign (my words this time) or you wouldn't be able to get the job done correctly. $10 an hour is not enough for the crap you're putting up with, and you could be doing way better. IC is supposed to be where the money's at because you don't get benefits. I say drop and find something better!
Running on MT
First of all, I love your little avatar! Second, thank you so much for the weblink. It is greatly appreciated.
It just keeps running...
but nothing on the screen...The Geek Squad said it was the internal modem that you would use for dial-up and they removed that and it started fine...now it is back to the same thing...I am thinking it is the video card as well...I am taking it back to them since I literally just got it back a few days ago...
You can do it but you have to be determined, have a solid office background helps, obviously an - sm
interest in the field helps too. You don't get a lot of sleep when you are trying to work with kids at home. I started this 3 years ago when my kids were 2 and 3, I basically only worked when they napped and at night after they went to bed. I only worked part-time too, but for the 1st 10 months I had 3 PT jobs, so I was basically FT and obviously very tired. But I was trying to get as much experience and exposure as possible. It has paid off for me. I generally work 2 jobs at once as I don't like having all my eggs in one basket (I need a min. monthly income of $1K) though right now I am only doing one PT, about 3000-4000 lines every 2 weeks. I am back to working nights and early morning now though at the current time. But a strong office background helps a lot, discipline, and determination. My strong office and lab background helped a lot for me to make the transition to working at home and also I was used to working unsupervised. You tend to get thrown to the wolves doing this so you better be able to land on your feet quick. CareerStep is supposed to be a very good school though, I know a few people who did it and were hired straight away, granted that was 3 years ago and the work is a lot harder now at least with the nationals. I prefer the small MTSO, generally a better grade of work and people. Good Luck.
