It stated "this is not a valid win32 application." The work computer is in my office with my PC.
The e-mail (sent from Spheris computer) had a security program attached to it.
I will keep trying.
Thank you kindly.

E-mailed glossary from work computer to PC but glossary isn't readable.
After literally two days of working on this, finally got my glossary to my personal computer and into IT V Pro which I upgraded (thank you Christina!!!). But my entries are all garbled.
I hope this isn't some safety feature used by my national to keep us from using company glossaries though I did create this myself over three years.
Job starts in three days (radiology) and I so need this glossary. Hate to start over again...as you well know.
Anyone? TIA :)
DNS gives you the option of attaching it to the
word processor you are using; however, in your case, if you are working through a network (I'm assuming it is a stripped version of Word?), it may not attach due to restrictions placed on it by your company. I may be wrong, you could try it. I would plan on spending 16 hours of training per physician to get it up to a point that would benefit you. Yes, that is a huge investment on your part. I'm not trying to be negative but if you are a slow typist, how computer saavy are you? Unless you really know how operating systems work, you could end up being very frustrated. Also you would need to train DNS to recognize all the medical terminology in your spell check unless you buy their terminology module (which is very limited).
IMHO, you would be better off getting an abbreviation system as the learning curve is much less and it would be more portable if you changed jobs. If you are a slow typist, an abbreviation/expansion program is invaluable to improving your line count. I have used Dragon on my own computer when I did not work through someone's platform and it really worked well for me but I had help from BG and a very good computer skills knowledge base.

attaching keyboard to laptop sm
I have a Dell laptop and don't see anyplace to attach a keyboard or am I blind? Also, where does the footpedal go? Double blind. Would like an answer so I can try it. I have a wireless mouse but don't like it, all over the place as someone else said.
A thought - If you are attaching your resume
to the email as an actual attachment, many companies will not open it. You usually need to either paste it in the body of the email or on their website application there will be an area to either upload or paste it. You may be emailing all these companies and their server (by default does this due to virus concern) deletes your submission because of the attachment. With the experience you have any company would be thrilled to hire you on!
Request that they place a stop payment on the check, reissue, and mail priority or overnight mail
If they refuse or invent unbelievable excuses, you'll know you have a problem. If MY check was a week late, there are many months I would be in deep trouble.
I realize checks occasionally do get lost in the mail. If they are 100% sure it was mailed, then they shouldn't mind issuing another.
Be firm and be persistent.

In every company I have worked for that pays via mail, they mail the checks on payday. sm
Depending on the distance you can get them anywhere from 3-8 days later. Right now one takes 3 days, the other 3-5.

Block her E-mail, return mail unopened
On AOL I can determine who I want to receive mail from and block those I do not -- and if they are blocked they get their E-mail back as being "undeliverable". If she sends things out -- send back --unaccepted. But to be simple just E-mail her back or call the recuriter if you don't want to deal with her directly and state -- leave me alone. If she is in another state you should not be scared of her but you may simply have to put it out there in no uncertain terms.

I would be glad for you to share your glossary with me. I am in my first year at this and I need all the help I can get.

I am a newbie and I have Smartype. I would love to have a copy of your glossary too. :)
If you need a glossary for IT...sm
Email me, and I'll send you a copy of mine. If you send me your phone number, I'll call you and help you get it set up as well.
I have used this glossary for 9+ years. I started using it when I had been an MT for about 2.5 years. It has helped me make a lot of money over time and every year I have used it I do a bit better than the previous year, income wise. I am happy to share it and anything else I know about expanders.
Can I add glossary from V Pro to III Pro>
I work for a national that put IT V Pro on my system and it contains all my expanders. I have just taken a PT job and will be using my other computer and IT III pro. Is it possible to insert the IT III PRO floppy into my national's computer and transfer the glossary onto it?
And, in worst case scenario, I will be purchasing IT V Pro. I have scanned the site but do not see where "Buy Now" is an option. The forum doesn't appear to have a sales section either.
Thank you for your help - starting a new job is both exciting and challenging.
If I do all of the drs in 1 glossary
Because it seems like when I compile all of the doctors into one big glossary, Instant Text misses a lot of the common phrases. If I compile a separate glossary for each doctor then I have to constantly switch glossaries. I occasionally get a doctor several times in a row but not often enough. I am wondering if there are certain settings like when you do the compilation where you put in the maximum words per phrase, that I should be doing differently? Anyone know anything about that?
Glossary
I would go to productivitytalk.com. They have lots of lists!
That's in the singles glossary
Whichever singles glossary you are using is the one you have to alter. Be careful not to corrupt the directory structure!
You might check the IT forums, I think there are some threads there about the proper way to do this if you haven't modified this before.
I transferred my glossary, etc to a new
computer. I found out how to do it by Googling "copying Expander to new computer" or something like that. I'm sorry I cannot tell you exactly what it says as they are printed at home and I'm on the road. This works for your dictionary as well.
This is how I did it starting with no glossary at all.
I am in Radiology. I created my own glossary by pulling in the glossaries that would be utilized and then added my own phrases and words as I did not have a glossary created to import.
I love IT now. It is easy and fast. Be patient. I hated it at first, too, as I was constantly ~reading~ but it does get better. The IT site has very helpful and comprehensive information for each trouble you encouter.
I keep a main glossary
for english phrases like "There was no" and phrases that would be used in any medical report like "The patient was". I keep a separate glossary for each medical specialty. I put each docs phrases into their specialty glossary rather than giving each doc their own glossary. So all ortho docs phrases go into my ortho glossary, etc. Then I just include my main glossary and my drug glossary with the specialty glossary. I do one doctor who repeats the same sentences in each report, so I do have a glossary just for him, but he is an exception. I can usually do a 40 line report for him and never had to type a complete sentence. He is awesome!
Did you convert your SH glossary to IT? sm
I think you can do that. If you can, that means you already know your shortcuts. Also, IT has some extra glossaries that may be making it more difficult for you. Please email me if you need some help on this and I'll try to help you. IT is not what I use on a regular basis, but it has been.
Will my IT glossary export to Shorthand? Thanks! nm

Glossary conversion question...would appreciate ANY help! sm
I have been using Instant Text for quite a few years, but wanted to switch to Stedman's Smart Type. My co-worker uses it on the same account and is doing on average 50 lines per hour more than me. She and I type about the same speed so I'd at least like to give it a try.
Does anyone know if it is possible to convert my IT glossary into Smart Type? I guess I'm an old dog, but I just can't bring myself to start from scratch with a new glossary. Thank you!
Instant text glossary
I was reading the board and saw the mention of using your glossary. I did a dumb thing....My hard drive crashed and I had not backed up my glossary so I am trying to recreate...so the addition of your glossary would be a big help TIA.

Also there is a glossary on above-mentioned site...sm
it is called qdecimals, which you put qbefore your numbers and it puts the decimal in without the space.

How to copy a glossary to a new computer
I have a new computer with IT existing that I would like to update with the old computer's glossary, especially one. I figured out how to email it to myself, but am not sure exactly step by step how to get it to the new computer. I am not sure if I'd be replacing the old one or updating it. The old one also has some includes, so it gets confusing from there. At this point, I would be content just to have the main glossary...I think...Eeek. Can someone help please? Thanks! 
double click the glossary that the error is in; sm
when it brings up the box, find the word/phrase you want to delete or change. once your cursor is on the line in the error, hit the delete button. FYI, you can also edit it rather than delete it.
Export the glossary to a .txt file and print from there.
To do that (with IT open), right click over the phrases heading and select Importer. Then select the Workshop tab and Export.
We did not receive your email with your glossary attachment
Hi Kim,
According to our records, Marianne sent you a file to resolve the issue. I still did not receive your email with the glossary attachment and I am not sure why it did not come through to my email but Marianne was able to receive it and she replied with the file attachment. Did you still have trouble after receiving Marianne's email? If so, please let us know and we will give you a call so we don't have to worry about having any more lost emails. :-)

I'm going from DocQScribe to an Ex-Text platform and I have to reinput the phrases in one-by-one. Should I do this as the phrases come up? Is it preferable to just make some time to re-type the whole list at multiple settings?
I saved the individual glossary as an attachment
and then emailed it to myself at my yahoo address. Then I could log onto yahoo email on the other computer, save the attachment to my hard drive and then use it with the IT program installed on that computer. I also email a copy of my glossary to myself at yahoo about every month or so (hotmail or anything web based would work) because if my hard drive ever crashes, then I have a backup of my glossary that has nothing to do with my hard drive and I won't lose months and months of additions. If I add a bunch of expansions at one time, then I email a new copy to myself more often. Hope that helps.
Yes, but can you convert a Smart Type glossary?

Will this glossary transfer to the ESP feature in EXText?
I know I have emailed you before but I chose that financially I just couldn't afford a Expander right now and then I found out that there is one built into the EXText. I'm trying to build that up but as I have never used Expanders before I am at a loss as to what to put into it. Thanks.

Is there a way to convert an Instant Text glossary to work with Smartype?
Thanks
You can add phrases to single word glossary in IT (SM)
When you insert the medication and other information, hit tab and then, backspace to the first letter. It will ask you "are you sure? and just hit return and it will accept it.
I have many two and three word phrases in my single word glossary list. There is a web site for IT users which you can Google for; it is easy to find - forum style.
Moving or copying IT glossary to another computer
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I recently copied one of my IT glossaries to a different computer by this method using a CD ROM disk (a jump drive would also work):
Scroll down the page where it says "moving IT to a new computer":

Your Shorthand expanders can become separate glossary. s/m KyITuser
Instant text actually comes loaded with dozens of different glossaries stored into a separate glossary folder. For instance, to name a few: Medwords.glo, (glo is a filename for glossary), Legal.glo, ER.glo, GenMed.glo, etc. I could go on. After I imported my PRD+ expanders, I created a folder for it and just named it (after my first name), Toni.glo. So when I pull up IT, I just click on my Toni.glo file and go to work.
Ironically, I'm looking into ShortHand because even though IT has SO, SO many different functions...so many that I will never learn in this lifetime, that in itself is the only con...other than the price $189.00 and no trial period is offered!
Personally, the best advice I can give is to visit the productivity board and browse through it. Don't get me wrong, IT has to be the most advanced expansion program on the market, but again, being so advanced is it's only pitfall. If you are like me, an IC paid on production, I just don't have the time to sit around and play with it. I hope I didn't confuse you even more. Good luck!
With IT open, right mouse click on the glossary in the IT box that you want to save. sm
Choose from the pop-up menu, either Save As or Save active glossary list.
Thanks!...good idea about adding the def to the glossary...I'll try that too

I'm getting e-mail and personal mail from MQ regarding changes
and lawsuits. What's up with MQ? Any speculation? My mail is general and not specific to my office. Think things are coming to a head with the lawsuits and MQ is trying to play nice?
MQ mail
I got it to work but it takes forever to get into your email box and send anything. I got into my box yesterday..slow..slow.slow..Today I got in and tried to send an email to my Transcription Coordinator and two times it would not go through, finally the third time it did..I dont know why they changed the system..maybe some techs needed something new to do so they made a new project to change the email system. If they dont fix it, it is a disaster..Hopefully today, the first day, will be just fixing the minor things and we will proceed from there..Its always something with this company ya know?? No work, but you better let them know your schedule, cant even get through on email..Grrrrrrrr..
MQ E-mail
I am just giving up. I get it and try to keep it open so I can check it but it won't stay opened. I am going to check it once a day. If they want me, they can phone.
E mail I mail
I wonder if we can just communicate with work people with our private E-mail instead of this system.
MQ I-Mail.
I can't get past the login screen. It says "Welcome!" then throws me back to the login screen. I see they have a message that says "You can still send messages to your contacts through your Outlook or Outlook Express." Wrong. Can't do that, either. Have been on hold to Atlanta for over 1/2 hour. Whose idea was this??
MQ Mail
Log in using your I-mail address and your password. I-mail address should be your MQ name (?)__@medquistmail.com. Password. You get into a screen that apologizes etc. Hit continue.
If you forgot anything there is a box that should allow you to retrieve password.
If all else fails, call tech support and they will walk you through it as I did the first time using it at 1-800-342-8283. They can help you specifically for I-mail problems.
