see if that works for you. You will need enough space in between or you will type over the next field.

you also can do columns but I am not good at those; hopefully someone else will come along with info on that.

Hit Alt F9 after you insert your file and you should see your fields. nm
xx
The easiest way for this one is to insert blank fields with Ctrl + F9. You jump to
each field with F11. You use Shift+F11 if you skip a field and need to go back. If you don't see your fields in the doc, hit Alt+F9 to show or hide fields.

Bookmarks and cross-reference fields are used when you have static information you need to pull into a field. That isn't the case when you are dealing with variable info.

First highlight the text too add, then hit Ctrl+insert+insert..sm

All you need to do then is assign the shortcut name and hit alt+O or click on OK.


HTH


Mine wasn't the Insert key in the top row. It's the 0/insert key on the number
s
Highlight the text and hit Ctrl-insert-insert...
then all you have to do is type in what you want to use as the shortcut.
Sounds like the insert is on - try pressing the insert

We get docked by QA for not filling in the address
or carbon copies, EVEN if we've notated that we can't find it anywhere and leave a blank.  I have to look things up on the website, in a word document, anywho.com, and Google to fill in blanks.  The doctors mispronounce the names and don't spell them out.  It's a waste of time, and time is money when you work production.
filling downloaded IRS forms
Okay, I'm supposed to be able to fill in the 1099-Misc form I just downloaded but for some reason I can't add any information.  Am I missing a plug-in or something?>
I had a molar that had a filling from when I was a kid. The tooth

cracked and they put on a crown, but the tooth cracked below the surface and need a root canal.  The couldn't get the crown off so had to drill through the crown.  I had no pain during the procedure and very minimal discomfort after the procedure.  He used some type of a drill bit with his hand to drill out the canal.  The only thing I had a problem with was that he kept taking x-ray after x-ray to be sure he got all the root.  I they they took at least 6 x-rays.  


I hate going to the dentist, not because I'm afraid of what they do, but I've just had dentists who tell me I need work done that I don't need done.  They just need a new boat or something.  Anyway, other than having my mouth open for so long and the x-rays it wasn't an unpleasant experience. 


Resumes and filling out applications
Hi all, I'd like to know if any of you have run into the same problem as I have when filling out applications and what you did about it. I have, from time to time, left MT work and applied for other jobs outside the home. Over the last few years, I have worked for a few MT services for a short time. I don't even remember the dates that I started working for each one and stopped. Some were so short (a few months) because it didn't work out for some reason (job wasn't as described or some other reason). How do you handle something like that on an application? You don't want to appear as though you job hop, but you know as well as I do how some services are and you CAN'T stay any longer working for them. I'm at a loss now, how to handle this on a job application.

Thanks for any help or advice.
errr...make that "feel like filling in"
see, we are human, we all make mistakes. We just get frustrated by the few - and I REPEAT Few! - MTs who abuse QA and then blame us for their inadequacies. I know that it is not most of you, most of you are awesome and I am humbled by your knowledge - but there are many others who are just plain lazy and should have chosen another line of work. You must understand our deep frustration.
I am filling out a job app and they want transcribed words per minute.
Thanks.
Isn't it time to go to the fields?
Please Amish lady, go pick the pumpkins and the gourds, isn't it that time of year? Then hitch up your horse and buggy and take them down to Wal-Mart to try to sell them.
But there are lots of fields where you can come right out

what you get a degree in.  Something like sociology, anthropology, etc. - no, probably not many jobs.  Psychology you really need a graduate degree.  Social work you can find jobs with a bachelor's but not that well paying, so would need a graduate degree.


But look at a lot of the medical professions - heck, nursing, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, medical technology (except they call it something else now), radiology, pharmacy, etc. etc. - all are BOOMING.  Just gotta be smart about what you get your degree in.


Have not in MT field, but in other fields

Alt + F9 toggles fields on and off.

You need two commands for fields.
You need to add the End command after each Ctrl + F or all your text after the field will be inside the field when you expand it.
switching fields
Many big nationals have every specialty now. If you work for one, ask them if you could just do rad and path. You might find path interesting but rad could be a tad boring.

I've been doing acute care for almost 30 years, but I would really like to do radiology and/or pathology. What's the best way(s) to get into these fields?
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!


F10, then insert

alt + insert key

just fyi, insert key does EXACTLY the

How do I insert
Can somebody please tell me how?? I have tried right clicking and I have tried double clicking on them. I just can't do it!
Alt + Insert

Is it the * insert * key (nm)
;;
Could it be the insert key?
I accidentally hit that from time to time myself. The remedy is just to hit it again to turn it off.
Insert Key

I sometimes end up hitting the insert key when I go for the Backspace key and this causes the text to overwrite. If I just hit it again, it stops overwriting.


Hope that helps.


NOT the insert key! ....
That's what baffles me!  The insert key won't make a difference once the Overtype Mode is checked (at least on my keyboard).  I can't figure it out.  :(
I have never seen a white man/woman in the fields.
Who would want to stand in 100 plus degree temps or, in winter, nonstop rain, chilly temps, working the fields or tending the cattle? No one who was raised with sliced bread; they'd probably starve first.

I was married to an ag man (cattle). The immigrants come and go across the border often (visiting family). It is not difficult.

They are keeping the price of the food you eat down.
Admin: I get cut off a lot in the subject/name fields.

don't care for it. too many fields to fill
in because it seems like the demo's are never there and of course you don't get paid for that, then you have to wait for extra screens to come up before you can select the dr/cc/patient name/etc.  there's no way to drop the normals in directly without using the menu, the Expander is more hassel than good.  it's straight forward to use but I feel it is a slow process since you can't just start typing without filling in numerous fields. 
If you are gpod, you can make a LOT more doing MT than either of those fields.

Wherever you want the field, do ctrl F9. Once you have all the fields....sm
in you do F11 to "jump" to each field.  Makes life a lot easier.
Inscribe help... QA marker and fields
On my acct I am supposed to put brackets and put the time of the marker inside [1.12] for QA to review.

When I put this in and continue, my typing jumps to that field and erases over and over.

Can someone tell me how to prevent this??? It is driving me insane.
Using fields in Instant Text
If you are typing in MSWord you can create fields for the places where you want to fill in the different type of phrases using shortcuts.
See post:
http://fitaly.com/board/itmainforum/posts/5849.html


Add fields with Ctrl + F9 and jump to them with F11. sm
Shift + F11 will take you back to a previous field.

F12 is the shortcut for opening SaveAs.
You don't need to use the mouth for F10 and insert (see msg)
Not sure what you mean.  If you use the F10 and insert the word, use the Alt, (I think it's T or X) whatever has the little underline in it, then esc.  Mouse doesn't have to be used at all.  Try it.
My problem is the insert key sm
I use it ALL the time and cannot live without it. Can't figure out how to remap the board right so I can use it. So, it is collecting dust until I have time to play with it more.
Does anyone use SmarType and Word using text fields {}? When I F11..sm

to the next field {} it causes SmarType to lock up.  Does anyone know how to fix this?


thanks so much


Make 12 cpl but constantly rewinding, going in/out of fields
If you can utilize speed typing engines, have same docs, the format is user friendly, it is possible, in the long run, to make as much as I do at 12 cpl.

I think you should try it for two weeks and consider that after three months you will be twice as fast due to familiarity.

I understand your frustration but this is happening in all fields.
It affects every work situation as technology advances, etc.

The fact is one cannot expect to have a lifelong career in any one line of work without experiencing some times of either changing with the flow or stepping into another line of work.

How to I insert text from a document into shorthand? I know I have to
highlight what I want to insert, but I cannot remember the keys for insertion.  TIA!
You can go to Insert, Break and choose Next page.

I would usually keep a template with the different settings, use the correct one then save it to another file.  


Hope this helps.


 


You can remove the built-in shortcut from the Insert key. sm
Go into Tools, Customize, then click the Keyboard button. Scroll down and click on All Commands in the left window. Scroll down the right window and click on the Overtype command. Click on the command in the current keys box, then click Remove.

You'll hear this claim in all fields by "the suits"

I've said it before and I'll say it again...back that sh^t up with a specific name or a place so there can be actual consequences.  I can throw anything in quotes and say I heard it from somewhere or someone.  It holds no water and only serves to get people workedup for an invisible fight.


Am I doubting what she heard is true?  Maybe, maybe not.  It can't be proven because there is no factual evidence provided.  However, my mother was an LPN and she always said her higherups referred to her as nothing more than an overpaid candystriper or overpaid a$$ wiper.  My father, a machine mechanic, said he was referred to as an overpaid janitor.  It's a wicked old and wicked lame argument to get the reader or listener riled up to basically do nothing and it's amateur stuff.  But, that's just me. 


SHOW US THE NAMES!  Then we can gather our pitchforks, burning keyboards, and Betty Crocker aprons and go to war!



 


Now, if someone could post the correct way to insert these smileys. They are so cute! nm

You can insert entire paragraphs by easliy using the macro sm

feature.


Tools - macro- record new macro. name the macro box appears ( name it whatever you need to, i.e. Dr. Smith's appendecomy) and then a little box will appear to begining recording it.  Type as much or as long of a paragraph as you need.  This can be very very long!  even pages if you want!!!)  then hit the st (telling the macro to stop recording.)  Next time you need to pull up that paragraph go into tools again and since you named it you should be able to find it easiy.  The macros get stored in alphabetical order.


The macro that you make this way does not record mouse movements, only keyboard movements, but you can have long paragraphs easily inserted right into your document using this.


This is a great place (in macros) to store MDs names and adresses too.  Then assign a shortcut key to open the macro box faster and voila!  everyone will wonder how you got your work done so fast.


 


Yes, if it's enabled. You can disable Insert key and still turn on overtype.
