Control A     

Allows you to edit the copy (CC) list.  We don’t use this usually in this capacity as the CCs are predetermined by the attending physician’s profile.  However, if the dictating physician wants a physician added and you don’t know how to spell the name, you can Control A and enter the 1^st letter of the last name plus a question mark i.e., A?.  Al the physician’s with A as the beginning of the last name will come up.  I use this quite often to confirm spelling of physician names.

Control B

Bold

Control C

Copy.  You can highlight any text in any document and Control C to import it to a new document or duplicate it in an existing document.

Control F

Opens Word’s Find screen, which allows you to search the document for text, formatting, special characters, etc.  You may also access Find and Replace from this screen.

Control G

This allows you to change the routing for the report, which has been set up by the profile.  For example, when you leave a report for review, you would Control G and remove all the routing with the exception of Transcription Department.  That would allow it to print only here and nowhere else until we have completed the report.  Once you have printed the report with the new routing, the default routing reappears.

Control H

Puts a document on hold.  If you were transcribing a report and could not quite understand the physician’s H&P, you can Control H and then search for another H&P by that same physician to review.

Control J

Brings the TES screen up.  This comes in handy when you are typing a report, choose a date of transcription from the list of dates, and then find that the dictation is for another date.  Control J will bring up the TES screen, you then place a ? mark in the visit box and all of the visit dates for that patient will be displayed.  You can then select the correct visit date for which the physician is dictating.

Control N

Saves, spell checks, and distributes documents.

Control O

Opens a document that has been put on hold.

Control P

Pause session.

Control Q

Exits ExText without saving the document.

Page 13

Control R

Brings up any normals established for the client from which you may choose. 

Control S

Search for a document.

Control T

Cancels document without saving it.  Sends voice back to pool. 

Control V

Pastes any copied material to where you want it to go. 

Control W

Changes worktype.  When the TES screen comes up as an H&P and the doctor begins his dictation by saying he is typing an OP or Consult, you can make the change on this screen.  However, if the doctor does not say anything about the work type and you begin typing, and then realize that the H&P is actually a consult, then you can Control W and it will bring up a list of templates.  You identify the one you want, click on it, and it will import it into your document.  This will also change your footer to be the correct work type.  Remember to delete the original template from the document you are typing.

Control X

Allows you to cut something from one place and place in another place.  Unlike Control C, it does not duplicate the material, just moves the original.

Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options.  You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.

I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received.  I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.

That said, he is getting Social Security right?  Is your son receiving a dependent check?  Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.

The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00.  If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems.  You can also find this out on their website,  HTH

your dictionary or autocorrect and see if it is set to capitalize the first letter in a sentence.

i think it is just that, though, an annoyance. 

Anyone heard from their MQ office what this check amount was based on and why it wasn't direct deposit like others if you are on direct deposit??

For the strip, consider Mandalay Bay - the rooms are HUGE and GREAT view of the strip.  They run a lot of specials, and the best time to get good room rates in Vegas ANYWHERE is Sunday through Thursday.

If you want downtown, check out the Golden Nugget, and you MUST go to Hugo's Cellar across the street for dinner - it is THEEE best.  Also, Lawry's Prime Rib is GREAT and the Golden Steer (since Frank Sinatra days).

Have Fun!!!

on the latest updates and changes for MTs as far as style, format, etc.  For example, when I first started working as an MT I was taught to type type II diabetes which has now changed to type 2 diabetes.  Just wondering . . . .
