Never had this happen either. Email the SH people. They're very prompt with help. Good

That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.

Then you can paste it in a document.

It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.

It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.
How do you copy your SH file to text - do you copy each dictionary separately? nm

Yes, you just need to get to the true DOS prompt

Thank you very much for prompt reply.
The stress is enormous. This job is kicking my butt.
Thank you for your prompt answer sm
I am looking this up now. Unfortunately, these don't work when they are red or green. Oh dear, I am such an IT dunce!
You can still use WP 5.1 on Win XP computers. Just go to the command prompt and install it. nm

They seem legit.

When I did an internet search, they were there and nothing stood out with a big red flag. It looked like the startup costs were only like $30. I would be more leery if they had asked for hundreds of dollars upfront etc. They were not listed with BBB..so they could be good..or not I guess, but I think if all you have to invest is time (which sounds minimal) and $30, why not.  Now, if they require A LOT of time and more money, I definitely wouldn't be jumping into anything.

It is most definitely a legit company.
Any smart newbie should jump at it. Five cents per line for basically being mentored is not that bad, especially when you consider all the scammers out there who want newbies to work for free or pay for the privilege of working. I'm sure the company will give raises and work the person into a fulltime job.
Yes, that legit way to do it, too. Just depends

legit companies, pay.

and who is to say if these line counts are LEGIT?

MT w/disabilities...it's a legit site

My sister does work through them.  She does a lot of VA reports because the VA has to have so much of a percentage of disabled workers doing their transcription.  This organization also has agreements with ATT, FTD, etc, many mail order catalogs type of companies where the work can be done with a computer from hom.


She has been with them for 3 years now I think and it is legit.


Need legit MT school on line... help!

Hey there,


I'm an RN looking to earn some extra income while at home with my son.  I'm finding so many schools on-line that are a bunch of scams!  Can anyone refer me to a legit school?  Does anyone know of a course that would be geared more towards someone that already has medical experience?  I need lots of advice.


His resume doesn't even look legit. The DNA

I wouldn't be suprised if he is doing this for the attention.  His resume is so far off the wall I can't believe anyone would hire this wacko!


I considered your question legit as well
Especially in light of what went down the other night, which you mentioned earlier.
Umm, no the OP, but I read the article and it looks pretty legit.
I don't listen to country music, but even if I did, I'd probably boycott the guy.  A living thing shouldn't be tortured whether it's tame or wild.
I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
if they're legit, why are older versions still for sale (sm)
If you go to the real Stedman's website, you'll see that even older versions are still being sold - they're not being given away by Stedman's.

At the very least these are bootleg copies that you're not supposed to have unless you paid for them and that means they're not legit in any way.
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.

As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
Thank you for the instructions. I will try that! nm

Instructions -sm

This is for WORD 2003. Just follow the steps EXACTLY as outlined. 


1.  Open a plain word document and type your ??.  (A couple of sets with one set per line).


2.  Go to Tools>Macro>Record New Macro


3.  Name your Macro (type it in the box)  Mine is named "jump". (Make sure in the second box, it says NORMAL template or normal.dot.)


4.  Click the Keyboard button - choose the keyboad combination you want to use (I use ALT+J) Click Assign.


5.  You should see a little button floating around that looks like a tape somewhere on your screen.  Don't touch it yet.  Instead, Go to Edit>Find and type in ??.


6.  Hit find next (you should be seeing your ?? being highlighted while you are doing this.) Click the cancel button on that same window. 


7.  Go to Tools>Macro>stop recording. 


Type in a few ?? sets and hit your shortcut combination to make sure it works. 


If you have trouble with this, feel free to e-mail.  I make these all the time.  :)


 


Instructions
If you set a tap stop where you want the DOB on the same line you should be okay.  In sounds like there are spaces there instead.  Set your tab point by clicking on the ruler at the top.    Retype your patient title then tab and put the DOB title.  If this does not work, feel free to email.  I am workin all day.  :)
there are instructions
in the system on how to do this.
I'm sure most of you get instructions like this

from your employers:


The BOS is to be followed, except when it differs from this company's style guide and except when also not in conflict with the site specific information of the client. 


So, you check the site notes from the hospital and if the question is not answered there, you check your company's style guide, and then if there is still no answer you do what the BOS says to do. 


Does this make any sense?  Making us consult three different references for the answer to one simple question?  Do the MTs in Indiastan have to do this?  Or do they get a pass because they work so cheap? 


NSS: Here's the macro instructions

In a Word document, type a few words, like a diagnosis on a line.  Leave your cursor at the end of the line.


Click TOOLS, MACRO, RECORD NEW


A window called Record Macro pops up.  I suggest you put a name in the "Macro Name" field.  (Hint:  No spaces allowed in the name.)


Click KEYBOARD to assign it to the keyboard.


A window called "Customize Keyboard" pops up.  In the field "press new shortcut key", press what you want as the shortcut.  (Hint:  I use ALT+N so I can remember it for numbering.)  That key combination you type should populate that field.


Click ASSIGN, CLOSE


You will be back at your document (your cursor still at the end of the line of text you typed) and there will be a small window called "Stop" that has a solid square (the STOP RECORDING button) and another symbol (PAUSE RECORDING button).  At this point, every single thing you do is being recorded!


Press the HOME key (to put cursor at the beginning of the line).


Press the 1. keys and space twice (or however many times you space between your number/period for your account).


Press the END key (to return cursor to end of the line of text).


Press the RETURN key.


Press the 2. keys and space twice (or, again, however many spaces you put between your number/period for your account).


Click the STOP RECORDING button in the little window.


Your macro is complete.  I suggest you try it out.  Skip down a few lines and type a line of text.  At the end of that text, hit your macro shortcut.  It should run (you won't see it do anything but make the changes you recorded) and automatically go to the beginning of the line, number it as 1 with a period and spaces, and return at the end of your text and start the number 2, period, spaces and be ready for more text!!  Email me if you have problems. 


NOTE:  This will only work if the text you type is only 1 line long.  If it word-wraps to a second line, this will not work...you will just have to manually return to the beginning of the line and number. 


More ideas for building macros, at least the ones I use most: 


-- macro to increase the zoom to a certain percentage (I use 110%)


-- macro to scroll down 1 frame or page


-- macro to copy the preoperative diagnosis heading, the 1-line text below it, return a line blank and type postoperative diagnosis heading and paste (for when the dictation is for "postoperative diagnosis same").  I use ALT+; for postoperative diagnosis and ALT+' for postop diagnosis


-- macro to copy the physician names/credentials in the signature block and search for the header for SURGEON and fill it in, putting it in all capitals, etc.


Just a handful of ideas I use.  Hope these help.


I think you can d/l instructions from their web site. NM

Instructions inside (sm)
You have to right arrow on HISTORY when you are completely finished your report (it's in the demographic screen).  This will sign this report to you, it adds your initials and that way no one can go in and get credit for it.  Hope this helps.
Can't you post the instructions here instead

And if you read the instructions (sm)
it will tell you that you cannot use that to file with.
Doc asking for instructions on dictation
A wounderful young man at my church is in his 2nd year of general surgery residency. When he found out what I did for a living, he asked me if I would please help him with his dictation and give him some pointers so that he could do better on his dictation. No one had critiqued him and he wanted to be sure it was o.k. Now THAT'S a good guy. He's a good Christian, he'll be a good doctor, and I know he won't ever change. You cynical so and so's just keep your opinion to yourselves. This was so refreshing to be asked for help like this. It made my day.
Meditech instructions
Could someone be nice enough to help me find some instructions for shortcuts or commands in Meditech. I have asked employer and only get a few basic ones.  Where can I look?
So, did my instructions work?

Part # and instructions.
This site, option #3 will give instructions, part # you need. (From Radioshack)

http://www.nch.com.au/scribe/pedals.html
I have a nice set of instructions in PDF...
that includes diagrams! The plug in for phone is rear left on the bottom. If you would like me to send you the PDF file of C-phone instructions I would be glad to, just e-mail me.
Some detailed instructions for you. sm

I believe I understand what you're trying to do. Try following these steps.


Open a new blank document and set the margins as you've been instructed (File, Page Setup, Margins). Next, click on the tab for Layout. Make sure Section starts has New Page in the box. In the next section, Headers and Footers, make sure none of the boxes are checked. Change the measurement from edge for the Header to 1". In the Page Section for vertical layout choose Center. In Preview Section make sure that Whole Document is selected. Click OK.


Now, Go to View, Headers/Footers. Type the information that you want into the Header area. Don't worry that it looks like the Header area is larger than it should be; it will shrink as your letter grows. Save this as a document template (.dot)


Now, whenever you use this template, just type your first letter, use Ctrl+Enter to go to the next letter/page. The Header information will show at the top of each page and each letter will be centered on the page for you.


Read the instructions doc that was sent to you.
It gives detailed instructions of what to do. Sounds like you only read the first half of it if you actually got the test files.
I did read instructions....

I did read the instructions, thank you.  I downloaded the PlayAll player also, but my footpedal that I use for Olympus player is not working for the PlayAll player.  I can play it by starting and stopping it with the keyboard, but I would prefer using my pedal.


 


One file has an extension “.ofc” This is an actual work file. YOU CAN NOT OPEN THIS WITH A CLICK OF YOUR MOUSE. You must download this file to the .wav player software and open it with the PlayallX or the software you already have.


 


The file “playallx.zip” is a zipped file that will open the software to play our compressed digital work. This is necessary if your .wav player will not open the compressed file with the extension .ofc.  PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS FOR WINDOWS XP ONLY.


 


This is like the "stupid" instructions on...

products like shampoo and hairdryers.  Even though it seems stupid to us that they are pointing out "rinse after lathering" or "do not submerse in water"...the fact that it is on there is likely due to the fact that someone somewhere in this crazy world actually did it..and might have even tried to sue them for not telling them not to.  I've been an MT for 15 years.  And from your post I knew what DEXA was because I type radiology.  I had no clue what pallor was.  If I did clinic notes I would probably have known.  It's all in what you're familiar with.  So the other poster is right...if he's spelling it, it's probably because he knows a newbie is on the account or he's already had to correct it himself on a previous report. 


To the original poster, don't feel like it's whining.  That's completely understandable.  I get frustrated over the same thing too.  The docs sometimes spell a word that they have got to know we use all the time...but do you think they would spell a referring doctor's name that they could hardly pronounce themselves?  Uhhhhh no!   So yeah, it is funny and frustrating at times what they think we need help with and we all need to vent sometimes.
