Wrong. Just up Word, change to 150% and close.

Posted By: sm on 2008-02-18

Word will save that setting to your Normal template. Now, open a blank document and you will see that and subsequent documents will be at 150%. Problem solved.

Do the settings stay if you change your Word, close it, then open it again without going to your pla
That would tell you if the platform is making the changes to your Word and, if that's the case, talk to your platform tech support.
Open the normal.dot file and change your zoom. Hit the space and backspace and close it.

You can't go wrong with Suze and take her advise, cut up cards but do NOT close accts. Just don&#

Have you tried to close and restart Word?
This may help. Also, check View, Toolbars and see if there are check marks beside like-named toolbars. If not, try the Customize menu at the bottom of that popup menu to see if there is something duplicated there.
I have had this happen - when you close word you should get a message (sm)
to the effect of would you like to save the Normal template - click OK.  When you start again you will probable get a message asking if you want to open the new Normal - again click yes.  Hope this makes sense!
You don't need to close Word after checking the auto numbering option. It works right away. nm

There is a word macro that can change that
for you.  Not sure if it will work on your platform, though.  If you need it, just answer on here and I will post the macro so you can paste it into your program macros and assign a shortcut

... do you have to switch it back to white background/black type when you send in your work?

I send my work FTP and wondering if I send it blue background/white type, will the MTSO get it that way or will it appear normally with the white bkg/black type?

I hear that using the blue bkg/white type eases eye strain, which will help me, and wondering if I need to change it back before sending it via FTP.
Is there a way to change the default setting in Word - sm

for line numbering?  It keeps indenting 1-2-3,etc. to the first tab and I need the numbers along the left margin.  I went to <format>, <bullets and numbering>, <customize>, and changed the number position and alignment, and it lines everything up on the left margin. 


However, if I have another numbered section in the report, it goes back to the default setting, indenting to the first tab. 


Is there a way to change the default, or do I have to go through these steps for each numbered list? 


Thanks!


How do you change display on Word template?
Does anyone know  how to change the display to 100%. I have tried to modify normal.dot but no luck.  Thanks in advance.
How do I change incorrect spelling in Word?
I accidentally spelled a medication wrong and added it to the dictionary.  How do I go about changing this?  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks!
Word counts the blank lines between paragraphs unless you change
your paragraph style to double space when you hit enter. You need to change the "after" setting in the spacing section of the paragraph dialog box to the point size of the font you are using and click the Default button. You'll probably want to do this in a separate template unless you want this setting for all new documents.
Yes. Wrong word.
Though, I can't hear what QA hears. I still hear what I put.

I would say it would be a mistake comparible to a fast dictator dictating fosinopril, but the MT putting lisinopril (with no dosage being given).

Does that sound like guessing?

I understand that I made the mistake and it frustrates me that I did in the first place, but to tell me I am guessing is very insulting. It would be one thing if I put something that didn't fit, but I didn't.
Just open glo file in Word, highlight all, then change case and save back
to glo file. Use the Alt key trick to highlight just the column of words, then Shift + F3 to toggle through the change case commands. First save your glossary under a different name so you also keep the original.
Could be wrong, but I don't think "layed" is even a word.
nm (brain also fried, though)
Estimation was the wrong word...it is rounding the cost up.
The total is the correct amount but the cost shown per document is rounded up to the nearest whole dollar amount.
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs

Don't change. I had to change back to cable. SuddenLink DSL stinks! nm

Change provider vs change to business plan

In your place, I would seriously consider changing providers if there were others available in your area, but I'd ask around about their service quality first.  It may not be any better.  If there are no other providers, then consider changing your service package to a business account rather than residential.  They're usually more expensive, but they also tend to get faster service if there's a problem.


Last summer, I had no electricity for 3 days due to severe storms, but there were some 600,000 in the same boat with me.  We just had to wait it out.  It's a downside of working at home.


As you can already see, you've come to the wrong board! By using the word professional, you've
excluded about 99% of the population of "whatever" it is that hangs on these boards. Certainly not professional for sure! But you sure are doing a good thing for someone! Its the thought that counts. Sorry you met the dregs right at the start.
change attitude, change life
The first thing you need to change is that defeatist attitude! I know that's hard at times like this, but that's when you need to most.
I won't go into detail, but my financial situation is also at an all-time low, we couldn't even exchange gifts., daughter in hospital twice, & no med insurance)..but then I heard about how much worse things were for others around me this season. Now I'm thankful instead!
wrong board - rules are pls use WORD board

I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
wrong board - try word board
.
Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

Get out while you can. Things will *never* change unless you change them. (nt)

It's about morality - not censorship! Right is right and wrong is wrong!

It's about as close as you can come without
a commitment to pregnancy and job! Hahahaha


your not looking close enough,
stealing from you!!!
You really should close some of them. sm

Every card you have is more potential debt. This may not matter to you now, but when you try to get a car loan, or a mortgage, or even a regular bank loan, it will matter then. There's absolutely no reason to keep multiple card accounts open, especially if you have absolutely no intention of using them. Keep 1 or 2 open, use them regularly, and pay them off promptly. That is the best way to use them to your advantage.


I don't think so...but close enough...sm
the ergonomics involved with a laptop---mmm... you would have to be real careful if you were actually putting in quite a few hours a day. The keyboards are SO small! And remember ergonomics includes angle of arms, a proper chair height, etc. I don't think you can just plop it anywhere on the deck and do that for 6 hours a day...
Too Close
I'm really disappointed that Elliott left. Let's hope that Elliott fans turn to Taylor. I couldn't believe how close the numbers were. The turn outs that they all had when they went home were incredible, especially Elliott's. I think he'll go far.
Since you are so close
to your due date, I would think long and hard about it. That leave with pay would be very nice.

I don't think it would be very difficult for you to find other at-home positions at a better time, and maybe even the place offering you one now would be have something a little later. (They might not act like it now when trying to get you to commit to something though.)
I'm close by
I think you and I have passed a couple of private e-mails today? I'm about 30 miles from you. Yes, it is outrageous. I have lived here my whole life, and since so many retirees are coming in, my town is impossible to buy in! Well, for my income, that is. I agree, even now without working in MT I would never make it. I left an office job making $300 every two weeks 8 years ago to do this...Best move of my life. As for the future, who knows, but for now, I am really thankful for this profession.
I have never gotten close to that - sm
But the majority of my work is specialty clinic notes and creating a lot of templates and normals for these docs is almost impossible because each patient is so different. I can make almost twice as much in the same amount of time doing OPs and DSs than clinic notes! But I do make way over minimum wage.
How close to 18 is she?
Was your doctor talking to her about the wisdom of getting vaccinated when she reaches 18? She will be able to make her own healthcare decisions then--she doesn't have to wait until 21. In some states, decisions about Gardasil might be available to minors at an earlier age. He undoubtedly feels an obligation to inform her of her rights at that point--it would be wrong of him not to.

Fearing infertility from back x-rays is unfortunate. Do you really believe doctors are exposing all those people having x-rays to the horrible fate of infertility? That wouldn't make sense. If you can't manage to look up whether back x-rays cause infertility, how are you managing to find out about all these alleged deaths and illnesses from Gardasil? Are you reading reputable medical information or stuff cranked out by uninformed, anti-medical crazies?

The fact that YOU had cervical cancer is no reason to expect that your daughter should accept having it, too. This is a preventable and still deadly disease.

Also, if you had to leave the room for "the rest of the exam," it sounds like a gynecologic exam. Was that because your daughter is sexually active? If so, that clearly explains why your doctor was informing her of her choices. She needs to be vaccinated BEFORE she is exposed to the virus.
I moved very close to but not on ...
Makemoney Avenue.

Considering the taxes I pay, I think I should have bought the one on that street.
If you live close enough (sm)
and can afford to quit your job, go ahead. Once you are signed, you are expected to show up for auditions when they tell you to. You might go to 100s of them before being chosen for one and they usually last all day.
Erie. RU close?
.
They are extremely close.
From what I know of both companies, oddly enough it is MQ catching up to changing its operations to par with Spheris with the new Rewards Plan.

However, while Spheris has already had their compensation/benefits package settled for a while, they seem to be aggressively pursuing purchasing other companies and increasing their offshore entities.

MQ seems to be focusing on it's US clientele.

MQ has ASR and if Spheris has it, I haven't heard of it yet. I would imagine ASR came in with a recent purchase if Spheris has much in the way of it right now.

You are welcome.
Well, I actually pay close to $700 a month..
for health insurance, so wouldn't affect me much. The company will still be based in Houston though. They just have another location in Florida. The gas sounds promising. I was wondering how much for food. How much for bread, milk, etc. Just to get an idea. So far, it just sounds like the homes are what is real expensive there. The gas is comparible to Houston. How much do you pay for home insurance per year? In Texas, the ratio is usually something in the range of you buy a house for $140,000, your monthly bill would be around 1,400 for everything, taxes included. The homes here going for around $130,000-$160,000 look comparable to the homes ranging $260,000-$300,000 there. That is a huge difference.
Someone close to me, elderly, just
died of pneumonia after a fall.  I can't tell you how many reports I have been typing lately of elderly people in the hospital with pneumonia after falls and really feel for these people.  Suddenly, these reports all hit home. 
Not even close to the same scenario.
Oh, please... that's like saying you should put your dog into a little cage that's only 4x his size, and give him a little exercise wheel and that he'll be fine... after all, that's what people with hamsters do, right? Apples and oranges. Again, talk to your vet.
Not quite to that point but close...
I know not to internalize it which saves me.

I feel it's a personality flaw very similar to Dr. Jekeyll and Mr. Hyde. ha!

Thanks for posting the article.
Scary how close it was!
I've been having to tape Tue/Wed shows because I am working and so I haven't been able to vote either.  Next week I will just have to make an exception and watch/vote.  Have to get Taylor through-whoo-hoo.  He's my soul man!
Close but no cigar
Not in New Hampshire ...
I don't make 50K or close sm
I think it is because I just can't sit that tight. I find my body can't take more than 6 or 7 hours at the desk most days. I am chronically ill and that doesn't help. Every fall and every spring I find myself in bed for 12 hours of every 24 trying to find a comfortable position and sleep off my pain.

That, and I know for a fact I don't pick the best work situations. I quit a wonderful job this past summer because they changed platforms and I was bored anyway. I took a job with such heavy ESLs I am struggling a lot and the work flow isn't anywhere near consistent.

This board probably doesn't help, but I am a recent poster so this is not really a contributing factor.
not this year but close
I am with a company (finally) that pays fair meaning it pays for everything at a decent rate. I have doubled what i have made at other companies and will have no issues making at least 60k next year.
I'm not even CLOSE to being an expert but..Have you tried this..

Going into the printer properties and checking your printing preferences. If your not sure how to do this....Go to your Control Panel, open up Printers...find the printer, right click on it, hit properties, and under the General tab, there should be an area at the bottom titled "Printer/printing Preferences (something like that)..hit that and check out all your settings. I'd play around in that areas with your settings to see if somehow something is in there wacko.. Just a thought. I hope it works..


Almost no templates and close to 40 hrs sm
it is all OP notes. Actual my-butt-is-in-the-chair-typing time is 35 hours or so. Shift time is different. I had one day this week when I could not sit for more than 5 hours of my shift total. I had an 8-hour shift and quit after 7 because I could not sit any longer. Lines were 1350 for that day. I remember it as a distracted day, not one where I worked for it.

I often wonder if I were more motivated, if my body didn't hurt when I sit for longer than 1-1/2 at a time, if I could churn out more lines. There is no reason I can't do 30,000 every 2 weeks, except that I can't sit still.
