No they aren't , they are SH functions. My

company offers brief overview of ShortHand and she was able to automate several functions. 


They're similar and easy to use, but ExText just functions better. Loved it where

Do you have any small children????? Mine reprograms my function keys and I cant figure out how but you can reprogram your function keys through your tools/customize/highlight edit/hightlight cut/click keyboard/ and pick you shortcut.

I just left them as they were when I loaded express scribe.
I can't ever get the search functions to work for me either
This site definitely has one of the worst search functions I've ever seen. I've tried all different sorts of ways and though I've seen posts on subjects in the last month, will NOT come up in search, old archives, etc. VERY annoying!
Thanks very much, Pebbles. What functions do you assign to them?

Does anyone know of keyboard functions for Powerscribe for...
start and stop. Using my mouse, want to use keyboard. Thanks!
Did you reboot for starters? Are the other functions working? nm

Did they check his liver functions and does he still drink?
My son had that problem a few years ago. He's 30 now and his liver function tests were through the roof when he was checked. Once he stopped all alcohol intake, his night sweats completely disappeared. He used to sweat so much it looked like he wet the entire bed and even his wife would be wet.
Need to make sure your AutoCorrect/Auto Text functions

I don't necessarily need one at this point. I just prefer using keyboard functions rather than m
plus if I buy a new wav pedal, I have to switch it out daily when on my other accounts. Just look for keyboard functions at this point.

You're really swift, aren't you?

You're pretty full of yourself aren't you?
your problems, your point of view, your way, your outlook, your, your, your.

frankly unless you know exactly what everyone is up against personally, financially, physically, emotionally, your "advice" is exactly worth what we paid for it. ZERO. Now don't waste your typing skills trying to talk down to us again. No one is buying into it.
Well those things aren't "fudging" -- they're being more SM
efficient. I started out that way too. I never had a spell checker until 1990. I don't call it fudging at all.
If you're so brilliant then, why aren't you in a better line of work?
1. Surgeon.

2. Attorney.

3. College professor.

oh, and yes, my brilliant one - what year exactly did you graduate with your Ph.D. from Harvard?

You're using your puter to chit-chat here aren't you? Why can't you let him have some fun t

Make sure there aren't other taxes that you're overlooking.

Some communities/counties have occupational privilege tax, 911 tax. Some sales require you to collect a sales tax on your service. The best advice is to check with a tax preparer AND visit your state's revenue website to make sure you're not missing anything.


and now it's OUR fault that the docs aren't more careful when they're dictating?
Hey, they're making 100 times what we do, so it's their responsibility to be aware of what they're saying, not ours.
You're very lucky and obviously aren't looking up addresses or having to relisten to slop over

You're really proud of the 'former bank manager' thing aren't you
Why do you use that name? Just curious.

You can use Bookmarks and Cross-Reference.

Well, if you're working in Word
you can use that Word Count and do the math yourself, or there is Abacus.  I don't know of any free line counting programs.  I work in Word and just use the tools in word to count lines.  You highlight the document and count it that way through the tools menu.
Leave it. Unless you're having a problem with Word
automatically making it small for 1/2, in which case I undo to make the numbers big again.
I wouldn't like that either. So, you're not typing in Word? sm
If not typing in Word, I wonder if you could copy/paste your work into a Word document to keep track of your line count.

If you can do that, make sure you have your line count set up to do it the same way they do....including lines, spaces, etc.


I assume you're working in Word?
Did you record the Find & Replace macro? You'd get more help if you posted your macro code so we can see where the glitch might be.
You're the one with the word "veteran" in your moniker lol
Actually, take out the word "newbie" in the post above, and it reads logically and makes complete sense. There's nothing NASTY about that post.

I wrote that post. The reason newbie is mentioned is because she brought it up in other previous posts and made it an issue HERSELF.

And, last time I checked, "newbie" wasn't a put-down or a curse word, right? I was responding back to her because her original posts set the tone.

She started off basically complaining about how the newbies aren't getting enough coddling from the other posters around here and made it an issue herself. IMO, if anyone or any posts could be labeled "nasty" (which I disagree with anyway), it would be the posts by the one who started the whole ruckus in the first place.

I was offended at the fact that she was telling people off who were trying to help, using profanity, basically dissing the posters of this entire board, and then comes back and either creates a whole new post about how OTHERS are being "nasty" or jumps right in and starts in again.
You're welcome Tad, you will get quicker answers on the word board

Doesn't every word you said just translate into you're worried about bidding? Don't underst
phrasing in that regard.  I don't look at worrying about bidding as a bad thing, either.  Its the only way to buy on E-Bay - cautiously.  One should always worry about bidding, as you have no clue who you're buying from!  Most sellers will always respond angrily to a negative - only ones who don't answer at all are the guilty ones! But if you're unjustly accused of this or that, and then the buyer has the audacity to leave a contrived negative, that's when the seller responds and feathers fly!  Negative reading is a great experience - you can really learn a lot about all parties, right? I don't deal with the ones who leave cursing, I'm gonna kill you negatives! Though, sadly most of them have been deleted by now, so we don't get to see the "true colors"...Censorship sometimes hurts...
Microsoft Word.. The oold Word used to do this and I'm new to 2003 Word..nm

For Pete's sake, you're not terminating a pregnancy, you're just typing a report after the
It's already been done before you even hear about it, and NOTHING changes regardless of whether you or someone else types it. Sheesh.
It's not funny when you're on a board where language is one skill you're selling.

Hope you're gonna have a glass of wine while you're relaxing

in your spa goodies. Congrats!


Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
If you're experienced, try for 9cpl or higher, and you're lucky to get that! nm

Skip it. No one cares. Either you're good on the test or you're not.

You're probably right. Plus we're losing our percentage of good people by .... (sm)
allowing every loser from every 3rd world country on the planet to just stroll on into our country, some legally, most illegally, and take advantage of the social services all us hard working little gerbils pay for by having money taken out of our pay every month. But I don't think we're all lazy. Just the ones on permanent welfare driving around town in brand-new Cadillac Escalades. Saw one just today on the Bayshore Fwy. Brand-new black Escalade with expensive spinner wheels, with 5 or 6 Mexicans in it. Well, who knows - maybe they stole it and it was on its way to a chop-shop. Smart-and-hungry people aren't always hard-working and honest.
See how much fun we can have? We aren't always mean!
A little fun with typos can turn into a whole new city!
Why aren't we all doing something?
I have only seen 2 or 3 people say they are happy with MQ on this board. If we are so unhappy, why can't we band together and be heard?
Some are and some aren't, just like here.

others aren't.

You aren't alone......... :(

No you aren't the only one with those sm
problems. Sounds like you had an awfully bad day. I truly admire anyone who works at home with young children. I could never have done that when my 3 sons (nothing like the hit tv show way back when) were growing up. You name it, they did it. If one didn't think of it, the other one did, and the majority of the time, it wasn't good. I admire you for giving it your best shot. Hopefully, someone on this board can give you some suggestions that will help. Keep trying!
They Aren't the Only Ones

Technical support for just about anything is offshore now.  Call centers are worldwide.  I absolutely refuse to call and speak to someone I can't understand AND expect them to help me.  Dell actually has pretty clear-speaking ESLs and after "the job" is finished, they ask all kinds of questions about their English, knowledge, manner, etc...For once I was impressed.


When I was getting my phone line through Verizon, I had to speak with an ESL and it was a nightmare.  I get very cranky and short with them even though I don't mean to.  If I had the guts to do it, I would demand to speak to an American, but I can't bring myself to do that.


You aren't going to get 15 to 18 cpl.
profession if what you are getting paid isn't what you are worth.  I am staying here because I make more money doing MT than I could doing anything else.  I'm good at it and I'm fast.  I make $35 to $40 an hour.  The very least I ever make is on an account that I make 10.5 cpl on and that is $25 to $30 an hour.  There is no job I could get anywhere else that I could make that much an hour.  I think I am paid very well.  Yes, it's worth $25 to $40 an hour for me to do MT.  If you can't make enough, you need to find some other job.
And some MTs aren't serious enough.
