JUMPING
Change your macro or Expander to include a destructive backspace.

Also, if you do not use those fields to type on you can simply hit Alt + A then ctrl + shift + F9 and it will turn all the field codes to test instead of having to go delete them all.
No hoop jumping
I said nothing about specific companies, nothing about cpl.  It was mentioned having to sit for days with no work and to that I say, then why stay?  Keep one job while you look for another, but there is no reason to stay with a company that has no work.  And while we are at it, why do so many people say "Tell me a good company that pays well."  Do you want someone else to write your resume and do the work for you, too.  Check out ALL the MT boards, Google for jobs, send out resumes, make phone calls.  As has been said a million times on this board, a good job for one will not necessarily be a good job for another.  Just don't sit staring at an empty screen, waiting for the MT fairy to drop jobs in your lap.  Last I heard, her job was sent to India.
Jumping in topic....
A third of my work is radiology and the rest is basic four reports.  I prefer doing rad because of the fast pace.  It's a small hospital with a rotating doctor and I do anywhere from 50 to 150 (this is not counting combined reports) reports a day which only takes a couple of hours of my day.  Would really like to do more rad but afraid of the committment it would mean.  Any suggestions?
Ctl + F9 works for me, then F11 does the jumping

Have you taken MT courses yet? Or are you just jumping in on your own? nm

You are right. I guess I'm jumping the gun. It
just really upset me.  I'll be shocked if it's NOT true, but stranger things have happened.  Time will tell.
I'm jumping in a day late.
I just wanted to second that dogs don't do well with berber. My dog loosened one loop while chewing/playing with something (I can't remember whether it was a treat or toy). When he realized what he'd done, he then proceeded to pull it until I had a huge run in the carpet dead center in the room. We've never had behavior problems with him since we got him, but he didn't know any better and kept right on going. I vowed never to get berber again after that.
jumping around in word doc
Is there anyway that you can jump around in a word document?  Meaning say if i have a template set up with all these headings is there a way just to put a * or something after the heading and be able to hit shortcut keys to jump right to that spot so I could start typing.   THANKS FOR THE HELP!
Why is everyone jumping all over her post?
I don't believe she mentioned that she believes there is anything wrong with prayer.  I think she was surprised to hear this being dictated.  It is surprising!  I have never come across such a statement in my entire career.  It doesn't mean that prayer between patient and physician does not happen, it just is unusual that it is being dictated...that's all.
Jumping to fields

Hi everyone!  For years I have been jumping to fields in Word by using the F11 key.  Does anyone know if I can customize my keyboard to use alt/c to jump around and how to set that up?


Thanks!


Those jumping on you are jealous, that's all.
I think when some people got into transcription, they figured it would be easier than it is. It's a real job that you have to concentrate on at all times. I don't answer the phone, my husband knows not to bug me and when my kids were still at home they knew not to bother mom while she's working.

This is still a great career for me. I get as much work as I want and make as much money as I want.
Again - Someone jumping to conclusions
Is it that they can not comprehend what they read?  This post was an effort at encouragement to some, not all.  Again, someone takes a sentence out of context, turns it into something else, just so they can be this rude.  No some may not want out of this business.  It is all they have left.  What she was encouraging was that if you are still young enough, why not start searching for another passion if this one has been taken away from you?  I don't think the message was too hard to comprehend.  If you want to "vent" (if that is what some call it), please do not do it to people who do not deserve this.
There you go jumping to conclusions.
above.
I seems strange that clients would be jumping
ship when the TAT time is pretty much up to the minute. You would think transcriptionists would be jumping ship instead. I don't believe the clients are jumping ship.
I really don't have any problem jumping accounts

A bit time delaying at first to learn the specifics and keeping the client profile open for referrence.


The only thing I hate is when I'm literally changing accounts with every other report and realize (usually as I hit send) that I did things on that report that is the standard from the account previously ie: number med list versus not...using 1. vs 1) etc.


You are certainly jumping to conclusions. I assure you sm
I would not send anyone to AAMT for any reason. 
For 63 yrs old, I was surprised he's still jumping aound like that.

I think alot of people are jumping to --sm
conclusions here about the whole situation, including yourself. You do not know that just because she gave your husband's friend a ride home, that anything happened between them. Since she already had his friends cell number, perhaps he simply left something in her car and she wanted to return it. It could be totally innocent on everybodies parts. She may not even be aware he is married. But any way, that all is between your husband's friend and her. Since your husband told you about it in the first place, I think there is nothing to worry about in that respect. However, your over reaction to it will probably change things between you and him, and calm open communication is the only thing that may change that back. You already crossed the line with a jealous outburst, and perhaps will never be able to cross back. He will always see you in a different light now, and that you possibly do not trust him, and he will be very careful about what he tells you in the future. I have learned through experience that jealousy, anger, and mistrust are the quickest ways to drive your husband to find someone else. Secondly, if there IS an affair going on between the friend and this woman...it is none of your business. Don't confront the friend..don't confront the other woman...and definitely do not call the wife to tell her. If there is an affair going on, she will find out on her own, but if you stick your nose in, and they patch things up between them, you will have lost a friend for yourself, and your husband. Stay out of it. I definitely think you need to sit down with your husband and calmly talk about this. Tell him that you are sorry for over reacting and that you DO trust him. That is the most important. Never bring up the phone call again. Never ask for the number. He probably feels that you will interfere in something that is not your concern and that is why he does not want you to have it...not because something is going on. He thinks you will embarrass him. that is all. Don't start making waves when you are the one who would end up losing in the long run. Trust me...I know. I was jealous and suspicious of my ex husband and all of his female friends. I reacted to every situation with jealousy and anger, and tried to FORCE him to stay with me. If they want to go, you can't stop them from going. I ended up losing him because I drove him away with mistrust and jealousy. He is married to her now, and I hope they are very happy together. I am not angry and I am not bitter. I did it to myself and I take full responsibility for that. I just do not want to see it happen to anyone else, because it can be avoided simply by how you approach things. Take care and good luck to you.
Cannot remember macro for jumping

I need a macro for Word 2003 to jump to ?? as the next field and, even though I've done this before, I cannot for the LIFE of me remember how to do it.  


 


Any clues? THANKS in advance!


Microsoft Word margin jumping
Hello. I've had this happen before when opening MS Word and suddenly the curser jumps to the very top of the page and not at the usual 1" margin that I have set at. Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't remember how I did it last time. It just started doing this again. I've checked my margins and they are fine in page set up.Thanks.
That's hilarious, hiring bonus. Everyone jumping ship?

I'm afraid if you posted anything on here, people will just start jumping -
down your throat. People on this board, unfortunately, are notorious for that. Hopefully, you are working for a better company now and not dealing with the MQ problems and accounts.
If you have the knees for it, jumping rope slims fast.
Jumping rope is effective because it doesn't build a lot of muscle bulk in the thighs, which many women don't want. You get calf definition and it works your core muscles, arms, and especially your heart and lungs. The effect is very slimming.

But I also saw a study that said men slim fastest with aerobic exercise, and surprisingly, women slim down fastest if they do strength training in addition to aerobics. Weird, hey?
They're great! Lots of sweating, jumping, dancing. Fun! I just ordered more. nm

Need to get up every 2 hours and take some sort of break. Food, dog walk, jumping jacks, laundry,

Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.

right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were &#
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

sorry I didn't have time to thank you, but I didn't forget!!

Didn't you tell me?!?!? No, Liza, you didn't tell me. Hooray for you! lol

Didn't know you could do that...
I didn't know you could pick and choose, thought you just went with what came onto your computer. 
Didn't know
How come Transcend isnt allowed to post here?  Because of taking on new clients?  I dont understand what that means.  They don't offshore, right?
Wow. Didn't like that one bit.

I feel sorry for the employees.  I can't believe they were making that much inhouse!  I was only making $12.00 and had to answer phones, file, photocopy, greet patient's etc.  I left to do this and actually make a bit more (and saving tons on gasoline), but to be making $150.00 a day and have benefits?  That's gotta hurt.  My former employer "offered" benefits, but my health insurance was nearly $600 a month out of my pocket.  My husband insures us now for half that.  I can't imagine not having that.


I was offended by the part of the article that referred to at home transcriptionists making errors,etc.  I know for a fact that most big companies do not hire "newbies."  My poor niece was under the impression that all she had to do was take the MT course (don't remember the name, but it was a good one).  Even though she graduated early with high honors, she still can't find a job with a national. She found a few local accounts and is only making 5.5 cents per line.


I don't know about everyone else, but I've been doing this for 16 years and I found the "testing" for nationals frustrating!  I thought I failed miserably and was shocked when I was hired as my testing was 98% (2 of four dictators being fast talking ESLs and ER reports which I have never done and won't do again).


Ad in my paper today says:  "You too can work at home!  Become a Medical Transcriptionist!"  Seminar held at the holiday Inn and the ad gives the impression that anyone that can actually use a keyboard will be hired right off and make tons of money.


No way, tell me they didn't...sm
"they took out internet fees, insurance, etc."

Maybe I misunderstood the above. You don't mean your regular benefit deductions from a paycheck, do you? I can understand taking out taxes, but I'd raise holy heck about taking out benefit deductions. It certainly is not a regular payroll paycheck.

Along those same lines, I recently separated from a company that I worked for 2-1/2 months. When I first started, I had signed up for health insurance and the flexible spending account. You know, there's usually a 3-month waiting period before these benefits begin, and before they start taking out the deductions. Since I gave notice before the 3 months was up, I was shocked to see they began taking the deductions out on my last paycheck. I told the supervisor that I wanted that money back. They did make me wait for the next payroll, but I received that money back just today! It's worth a try!

2 cents, huh? As if you're not insulted already by the fact that they cheated you in the first place. The MTs should demand to know how they arrived at their amounts, and then be able to verify it.

I worked for them for 2 years and my line counts rarely matched theirs. Supervisors could not explain the discrepancy either. Two months after I quit, the news about the MT class-action lawsuit came out. Personally, I don't trust them.

Have a great time shopping on your unexpected money!!
I didn't have any out of the NE
yesterday either...the Warminster office.  Haven't checked yet today...almost afraid to!
No I didn't see
Scarborough Country last night.   This whole mess is so sad and government at all levels is a disgrace.  People quibbling over whether they are "refugees" or "evacuees."  How utterly ridiculous.  Not to mention the quibbling over those who deserve help and those who don't.  Those who have already been receiving social services from the government will continue to receive priority help from the government and those who are trying to help themselves will be forgotten just as they have always been. 
Didn't you know....
It's more important in PC America to have somebody who speaks every other language EXCEPT English, so that those who can't speak English will be able to conduct their business.  In So. California you can hardly get a job dealing with the public unless you can speak Spanish.  Same with the border towns in Texas.  Talk about discrimination.  However, your situation was probably the almighty buck... Cheaper to contract to the call answering centers in India than to hire someone here.  I once had to call a tow truck with my AAA card.  Guess what?  Somebody in India trying to dispatch a tow truck in the United States.  Couldn't understand me whatsoever.  Same with my computer support number... India.  The guy had me clicking on this and that to fix my little problem and before I knew it, he had me return my computer to factory settings (didn't tell me ahead of time and I knew the second I hit the button what I was doing, but it was too late) and I lost everything saved on my computer.  I was LIVID! 
It is 26% , not 30%. I didn't say 30%.
Get it right. Geez.
Sorry, no. But I didn't want to let

I'm sure you already know there's lots of information on line.  My guess is that you wanted to hear someone's personal experience with the same problem.  I'm a relative "oldie" myself.  


I also don't have to tell you that your orthopedist is your absolute best and clearest source of information.  The only suggestion I do have is that you develop a list of specific questions to ask him, and only him, during your upcoming appointment.  Good luck. 


I didn't know
they had any ads posted. I was just searching around, googled Transcription companies and found their name, went to web page, etc.
The Website sounds like a totally legit, US MT co. You would never know it was offshore unless you asked. Good thing you asked before you went any further. Wonder why they ran an ad for US MTs if they are offshore? Maybe trying to get a US side started? I will have to keep the reverse lookup in mind, but Im sure not all companies will be that sloppy. I wish there was another way to find out that stuff. Were they nasty to you when you told them you wouldn't type for them? Thanks for the info!!!!
Well, I'[m sure she didn't think of that one!

...and I suppose you are perfect...never made a mistake or had bad judgement?  This is NOT what she needs right now.  Don't you think she knows she did wrong?  Get over it.  She is asking some very serious questions and doesn't need any moral opinions, okay?


They said I didn't have...sm
enough experience, which I thought was strange because I have nearly 10 years.  They passed on hiring me without so much as a test or speaking to me, and now I am the QA director of another company.  Kind of funny.  Their loss, not mine!  Glad I stayed where I am at.
Sorry, should be DIDN'T see that one.
s
I didn't see it as an ask for help.
deal with it everyday and do my best and go on.
Oh, Wow! Didn't think....

it would be that easy. I was absolutely in the dark on this.


I will be using the other keyboard, though, because the letters are completely worn off this one.


 


Maybe the best, but I tried em and didn't like em.
