    Help! My dictionaries ae disabled!

    I recently upgraded to MS Word Pro and now my dictionaries are disabled.  I'm almost positive that I worked in Word after the upgrade and they were fine, but this morning they are gone. When I look (Spelling>Options>Custom Dictionaries) I see my Stedman's listed and also a Custom listed which I think may be the words I have okayed (not really sure if that was there before).  They are both checked.  The custom was default so I changed Stedman's to default, but still Word is not recognizing any medical terms and is marking them all - good gravy!  Hoping someone with a bit more tech expertise than me can help me figure out what could be wrong?  TIA!

    Thanks to all of you that gave me an answer.  It is for my friend and I will pass on the information as this is something that she really wants to do as being disabled it is much easier working from home than trying to use public transportation in our little rural town.   I will certain pass on you sugestions.

    They were thinking of doing that or tried with a hospital I used to work for. Their rationale was that it was too much of a distraction. Could not believe that! MTs need the search assists on the internet. It just goes to show you how totally out-of-touch they are with job MTs perform.

    I am an avid gamer and a MT.  I'm only 30 and already my wrists get sore periodically.  I'm wondering if there is a point where I will be disabled due to transcribing and difficulties with their hands and what to do to prevent it.  TIA for replies
    Disabled working
    Hey, hang in there. I know what you mean. I have been disabled since back surgery many years ago. I am in constant pain, but I still work for the Pain Clinic. I only transcribe one doctor who no one else wants. That is how I got the job. Company changed platforms and I only make 40% of what I used to, but I still work. I am now 69 years old and will probably expire in my chair. I still am thankful for my job, but I wish for all our sakes it was like it used to be when one could make at least a living wage and sometimes a good one. I praise you for working and not just letting your pain get the best of you and admire you greatly!
    Just my opinion, but if you are permanently disabled, you are not able to work, right? I don't t

    and he absolutely cannot make any money other than his disability if you want the full benefits. I think you can work part-time and get part-time benefits, but you will have to check on that. My understanding was they deduct any amount of money you make from your benefits and you would get what was left. But, again, the best thing is to go to the agency or call them and make sure before you do anything, as the rules seem to change constantly, but for full benefits you cannot make any money under your name.
    I clean houses for disabled at low cost and run errands.
    I have several clients and make an adequate amount extra each month for bills, gas, going out, and those other things that POP UP.
