No, as an IC that does not pertain to you. sm
I had the same thing happen to me and I called the Finance Depart. and spoke with the head of that department. I do not live in CA and am governed by the state I live in because I work at home.
Regardless, as IC, taxes are not to be taken out on my behalf. They got back to me and agreed that I was correct.
I did not fill out any form and it has worked out in the end.
So, No, do not fill out the form and call the higher ups so they can clarify that "tax law" They are probably just not well informed and are used to dealing with employees more so than ICs.
Maybe I misunderstood the OP's concern. Pardon if my response doesn't pertain. nm

I have found light peach background with dark brown text to be very helpful.
What screen colors do you use?
What screen colors are easiest on your eyes? I read somewhere that shades of lavender/purple actually caused the least eye strain. (I'm assuming no color blindness!) I've been using black text on white background for a long time, but I'm getting old, the bifocals slip on my face, and I'm trying new colors. Just wondering what colors most MTs use to prevent eye strain.
my true colors
Yeah if Mexicans coming in the US illegally and me as a taxpayer having to pay for them to freeload over here makes me a racist and I am showing my true colors then hey I guess I am racist. It is not right. That is why they are known as ILLEGAL aliens. If they would go about it the RIGHT way and become citizens and get jobs and try to better themselves then it would be different but I have a first hand view of what they do and most of them do it. They come over here and try to get all they can for nothing. Yeah I probably would want to come over here but they can do it legally and try to better themselves not be moochers. My parents gave this "little mexican girl" a place to park her camper and asked for no money for rent only utility to be paid. My parents had to ask her 3 times for a utility payment when she has a job and had the money. She expected to live for free off my parents. Dont ask how she got a job because she is illegal and finally admitted it when my mother pressed her. Maybe it was a job where they dont check I don't know. My parents have tried to give and be nice to this girl but she continually takes advantage.
Screen colors
Changing screen colors through the control panel will not change anything on any other computer. That's just nonsense.
Your coworkers sound as though they changed the font color and background color ON THE DOCUMENT itself using the formatting commands. That's the only way a change would transfer with the document itself.
Changing it with Barb's method will give you a glaring blue background with white text. You can't get aqua that way.
You can change your colors in Windows. Start, Control Panel, Display, then choose a color scheme in Desktop. Get as close as you can with one of the ones provided, then adjust the color of the background. You can invent your own if you're not happy with any you see there.
Software comes with built-in instructions now. Just click "help" on the toolbar.
Different pastel colors in a plaid.

All the different colors of correct-tape!
Sure does bring back memories. I remember sitting at my Selectric in my basement when I was a newbie back in 1975 crying my eyes out because I had just finished a 3 page report and the doc wanted me to insert a paragraph at the beginning of the report! There was no "memory" back then and the whole thing had to be retyped just to add one paragraph! I remember them fondly, but am much happier with my computer! Thanks for the walk down memory lane, though!
Horses change colors.....
Didn't ya see the Wizard of Oz? LOL
Plastic shoes that come in many different colors, and several
different styles. Very popular with medical personnel who are on their feet all day. Google Crocs.
Here's a site for NC cottonmouth colors:

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.
Click the More button on the colors tab so you can
further customize the color in the right window.
October! Love the colors of fall
I feel so alive!
Brighter colors do fade over time and I could
that is 12 years old.
Luxury? I can't imagine that! LOL As a woman who LOVES to try different colors
with the changing of the seasons, I know that wouldn't be for me at all! I would hate it after only a couple of weeks or so...
Some of the craft stores like Michael's carry them in funky colors, too. nm

It was wonderful outside. The butterfly bush is covered with butterflies of all colors. nm
:)
I changed the background and text colors in the Windows appearance settings.
It does not transfer to anybody else. The colors you see on your screen are going to depend on your video card so only you can play with the colors to find one that is soothing to your eye.
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE. Which company?
Question about transfering computer into to another computer.. sm
I have a dumb question - Just bought a new computer and someone told me to get a flash drive to transfer all my info. But I'm assuming that ExText that I work off of and Escription will have to be downloaded again by the tech people onto my new computer. I can tranfer these can I?
Thanks
How does one find out the computer specs on my computer?
I should know this, but I just don't remember how to do this. I am hoping I have enough RAM, or whatever, to load work platform on my own computer and begin working on it, rather than paying *rent* on the company-furnished computer. Thanks so much.
A computer is a computer, whether it be laptop or desktop.
I have both and use both and I bought both of mine...most companies do not provide computers...
Going in the summer or the fall? If the fall, you need to be there early enough while the colors

Computer help, please - sm
I know this should be easy BUT, tell me how to find the version of Windows that I have. I can't find where it says this.
TIA.
New Computer?
I have only ever had Dell computers, but like you said, I'm tired of getting someone named Bobby, who can't speak English. I quit buying from them and went to my local computer place and had one built. Now, when I have a problem, I get someone who speaks English. IF you live in a big town, check around. I live in a small town and it was easy to find out what was what. I would still rather have a Dell, but I don't do anything off shore anymore. The price of a small place is not that much different than buying from the places you mentioned and is a lot less wear and tear on the nerves.
First computer
The first computer I ever used was a Rayethon (think that is the spelling) computer. It was enormous, took up my whole desk, LOL. Nothing like nowadays. Wonder whatever happened to Rayethon?
computer
I tried it and mine did the same as yours.
MQ computer
I got to use one of their computers free while I was training and continued until I was off probation. Then the fee started coming off my checks. But, the repeating theme seems to be all the offices are different.
computer
I have two HPs. I think I will do the same.
it's not the computer
You need a little stereo adaptor that you can buy from radio shack. It costs a few dollars. I'm presuming you have a a cord that connects into the computer. Okay, now, you plug the adaptor into the cord and your headset into the adaptor.
Voila!
Does you computer have enough
memory and disk space for an upgrade like this? The reason I wonder is once I upgraded my old computer and found that XP takes a lot of resources and the whole computer was bogged down and never worked right after that. Ended up buying a new one with XP already on it.
I think you can only do this on a computer with XP- sm
they did this so you could use the 98 programs on the computer with XP. I don't have either of your programs on my computer (use a physical book for the drugs and google) but I installed old Lotus, my Bytescribe, ShortHand, Quicken, various art programs, WP 5.1 DOS, can't remember them all but they all work fine. I have Stedman's spellchecker which was on my old 98, now on my XP, though I do upgrade that every couple years so that one is irrelevant.
oh, and I would use my own computer...sm
They would supply the transcription equipment.
probably better to buy a computer...
fro0m a place that sells computers, rather than an MTSO. That way if you need to move on, no problems.
Use of Computer
It doesn't bother me at all. The only person who uses my computer on occasion is my daughter for school work or to look up things on the internet She has to ask first though and never goes anywhere near where my files for work are kept (she wouldn't even know how to find them). It helps that my husband doesn't know anything about computers or the internet so he's never a problem.
I would never let anyone come near my computer
much less use it!! That's the one thing I have that is mine!
New Computer
Hi Everyone! I am lucky enough to finally buy a new computer, but am not very knowledgeable and so am stumped about what to buy. I have a Pentium III now, very ancient, and just want to get rid of dial-up Internet and burn CDs. Any hints??? Thanks!!!
computer help
Okay, I will try this a second time, hopefully I will get this to post. This is just an idea of how un-computer-savvy I am and will be showing my ignorance. I always worked in house until I got laid off. Now I am working at home, using company provided software. I stumbled upon a web site for freelance work, not medical. I would like to try it to supplement my work. My question is, if I got an assignment, would I just go into their website and go from there, do I need to get my own software for this sort of thing, any help would be appreciated. I am an old dog now trying to learn new tricks!
My PCP uses the computer to
keep track of everything going on including labs and such. He can push a button and the labs are in his "grill". I would much rather it be that way than have to wait for a faxed copy. My PCP is great, and he still listens. He just uses this as a way to expedite script writing, etc. There are also hospitals that allow physicians to access their database, so it is not really far off. I think it was actually Hillary Clinton (who may run for president) that would like EHR to be universal, but I think it is more for consistency and to make patient access easier for specialists to follow and the such, etc., etc.
Computer
A computer is deductible. Spend as much as you think you need to spend to get the computer you need.
Do you know where it is on the computer?
If you can find the specific file on the computer, probably the easiest would be to highlight it and then right-click on it. Delete should be among the options. That would send it to the Recycle Bin, so to delete it for good you'd have to empty the bin.
Did that help?
could you not set up FTP on your computer? sm
i worked for someone before that had an FTP on their computer. all i did was put in their FTP address into the web address bar online and went into their system of course with passwords, etc. then i was able to access whichever folders they gave me permission to access. you could just let the entire office that needs it know the passwords to get in and pick up the work. like have a completed files folder in there or something. i think winXP has its own FTP built in, not sure though.
looking for a computer
new/used, windows XP, pentium III or ?, word 2002/2003, Stedman Speller. Helpful suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.
You can always get a new computer..sm..
later and another job later. Without your health, you have nothing. I vote take care of your health and your son. Yes, you'll have to count pennies, but like I said, without your health you have nothing. What happens to your son if something happens to you? He'll really be without then.
I would have run from computer with that one!

COMPUTER HELP
Has anyone ever had their icons disappear from their desktop? If so, how did you retrieve them? Thanks
computer
can you go back to the main screen and left click anywhere on the page to get to properties and then click on settings?
Does anyone besides you use computer?

Where could I get the most computer for my SM
buck. I'm thinking we are going to buy a new computer with part of our tax return (our current one is 6+ years old) and am wondering what you all suggest? I'm hoping to stay around $600.
It would mainly be used for work, cruising the internet, watching DVDs (maybe...not totally necessary). MAYBE I'll be adventurous this year and try to get a little account of my own :)
So, what do you all recommend I consider buying?
