I know quite a few people that use Open Office and are happy with it.
I thought it was free (donations accepted, of course), but perhaps that has changed.
Lots of people think that degrees open many doors.
Degrees close many doors, too. People won't hire you at all because you're overqualified or they think you'll jump ship the moment you find something better. A large percentage of this country is underemployed, and that number gets greater every day. Wages have plummeted because the young 20-somethings will work for peanuts. Why should businesses pay more for older workers when they can get a fresh college grad for next to nothing?
You can't just open the attachment. You need to save it to a file and then open SM
your wave player and load it.
How do I get it ST to open when escription is open?
if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.
As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
a stand for what they believe in...
it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.
I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
Just remember that it is not the people on this board who short changed their people and ONLY after
caught did they (after they were suied) make an effort to look good by sending out these checks. Now, think about this--had they done this many years ago when they short changed everyone, that would have been honest. Does it not bother you that only after they know they are under the gun that they are doing this to try and make themselves look good?
I used to work for MQ and I used to like what I did. I never can say I really liked the people that I worked with, but I really think they had some of the best accounts that I have ever come across in the MT industry. I loved working the major teaching hospitals that I did, but that certainly does not mean that I enjoyed being cheated out of pay.
So chill already. People have been cheated, were lied to, and only AFTER they got caught have they tried to return some of the money they robbed us of (as well as cheated their clients).
We all have reasons not to be happy with this company and you go off on us because we are complaining of things like small refund checks of a penny or a few cents or a few hundred dollars and NO WAY to even check to find out if this is correct?
I am sorry you are unhappy all of us thinking that there is still a dead rat in the cellar, but there is still a dead rat in the cellar and nothing will bring the dead rat back.
I would hold no love for a company that I know willingly cheated the very people who helped THEM make money out of their hard-earned money.
Go take a deep breath and think about that.
My people skills are just fine. I just want to hire people who want to work.
I've not been ugly, I've asked questions, legitimate ones. Please tell me what is wrong with that. This site is not just for MTs, it is for QA Editors, Supervisors, Service Owners, there's even sections for Billers, Coders, and Nurses.
rude people? I would take good pay over polite people any day
Besides that they have never been rude to me and I have been here for almost 2 years. What do you consider a bad account?
I know my account is a little tough, but I am used to it. I am tough!
Rude people? I hardly think so. They are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. sm
Not just management, but QA as well. No one is rude. They are a very understanding staff. There is one account that is hard but all it takes is getting used to it. Once you are used to it, it is no harder than any other ESL account that you would do anyplace else. I have heard all these things about TH from the archives and I have yet to come across rudeness or any kind of thing that I have read about in the archives. I would definitely pursue them if I were you. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
2 people to do that amount of work, is she nuts? More like 20+ people - nm

Going to keep this in the open
For anyone who did not read the previous.
I Already Open it
Please Tell Me How I can Remove it
Okay, this should be open to all MT's...sm
Thanks for bring me up short. This question should be open to all MT's, especially those working for other companies. Tell me what you like as well as what you dislike. If this comes about I want to try to fulfill those dreams and requirements as well as make a profit. I'm not greedy - I believe it sharing the wealth. Again, I want to get and RETAIN great employees!
Open
Express Scribe and click on Settings. Click on Files, and un-select the work file types you want the other program to open.
Or, open the program you want to use, find the equivalent settings in it, and then make sure the file types ARE selected.
This is what I was saying....the box does not always open.
My question is how do I manually open this box when it does not show up in the background or anywhere else. Thanks
Why do you want to open this?
If you don't know what this is, you probably don't need to be messing around with it, especially if you are being taken to a website that wants money to fix it for you.
If nothing was wrong with your computer before, you probably have no reason to need this. You didn't say how you ran into this, but in the event it is a scam, why don't you leave it alone.
AN OPEN NOTE TO MTS
1-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when in screening applications 20 of 25 resumes are full of errors, typos and people applying that do not come NEAR to fitting the job requirements.
2-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are hired to work hours YOU REQUESTED and then you do not even bother to start work, call, email, just nothing.
3-Do not wonder WHY work is being sent overseas when you are tested and screened only to find out that several "friends of friends" circulated the test around and while you do wonderfully on the test, now in the real situation, you can not figure out the difference between discrete and discreet.
4-Do not wonder WHY you were given less and less work, but take a look at the quality of work you produced...full of blanks, not formatted to specifications in the manual sent, skipped reports. When Q*A has to redo 90% of your work, it is easier to quietly phase you out than to continue to "train" a supposedly seasoned MT
5-Do not wonder WHY you were taken off an account, but look at the feedback you were given regarding the continued mistakes with spelling (you do not use the spellcheck as too time consuming - your words), continued mistakes with doctors signatures, names, formats, phrases. Your position is to "pound out lines" and not worry about the quality.
6-Do not wonder WHY no one will hire you...after all, MTSOs communicate with each other too and the same names just seem to cycle through
7-Do not wonder WHY companies look overseas for workers...because at least THEY want to work. They are not taking days off at a time with no notice...leaving a company and client in the lurch.
8-Do not wonder WHY your resume was not answered...you applied before, were tested before and never bothered to answer emails regarding hiring...never bothered to start on your start date...resumes are kept and note made of why someone that seemed very qualified was not hired.
9-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired...remember me? I am the one that tested you, screened you, then talked to you for quite some time on the phone interviewing you. Remember me? I am the one you "sold" yourself to as far as being ethical, good worker, etc., only to find out that you received the hiring package, then contacted the client directly and suddenly, you did not want the job and then I see you are working FOR THEM....
10-Do not wonder WHY you were not hired after taking the test...take a look at the test results and the responses back you made like "that is how I have always done it" and I do not think you are correct because that is not how I was told or trained to do it.
11-Do not wonder WHY you were quietly let go...check your invoices and the inflated lines and/or hours on there? The system SHOWS the reports you ran, lines you did, but you continue to add report numbers not done by you and lines not done by you. AND for bonus hours...you continue to add bonuses that were not earned.
12-Do not wonder WHY I cringe when it comes time to hire again..I cringe because of every MT out there that shows NO RESPECT to a potential employer now or down the road by ignoring remails.....receiving a test, but never taking it...getting a test graded and offered position but never responds back....going through entire hiring process with access codes, start dates and times but then NEVER even starts...or the ones that we PAY a computer guy to get set up and they never start working...or we send software and equipment to and then never get it back or have a legal fight to get it back.
There are two sides to ever story, this I know, but as an MTSO the above are simply a FEW of the hundreds of things experienced in trying to hire just ONE good MT....
How do you open up that .lex file to....sm
copy/paste it into MS Word? When I try opening it, it asks what format do I want and every option I've tried hasn't worked.
Open Shorthand
Highlight the entry you'd like to get rid of, then hit the little trashcan icon in Shorthand to get rid of it.
open your pea brain :)
he comes from the ghetto, his family still lives in the ghetto, he's trying to help kids in the ghetto......and you want him in a TIE, TUX, and TAILS? He is dancing for a charity. That's all he's there for. To get $$ toward his charity of helping kids in and around the ghetto.
Perhaps you want him to dress like the late Fred Astaire?
Get real.................
It certainly is a thorn! Don't open any of it, though.
That's why I got concerned, and still concerned even with this SpamBayes, as there could be a virus in some of it. Also, hackers may be trying to get into your stuff, maybe all they need is for you/ me to click on it and to get information, don't know all of it, but I won't open any of their stupid email.
We did our last one over an open pit for hours...
and it was sooo yummy. It was so tender.
Unscrew it, open it up, and sm
splice it with scotch tape. You won't loose much of the sound on it.
Open mind
With all due respect for your opinion, people from all extremes of thought, are what make this country great. As Americans, we should question everything our leaders do. For too long, politicians have tried to conceal information, or conceal an agenda from the American public. The public is growing up as a whole, and it is becoming wise to the manipulation by government, and those in charge of great power. There is great danger in this, and we should not become a complacent society. We should not be expected to accept explanations so easily, and create a society where we are not allowed to explore issues. Michael Moore is every bit as American as you or I. Many people do not like the policies by our government. Many people will speak out against those policies and protest. That does not make one anti-American. It is because many of us, including Michael Moore, who I may not necessarily agree with, have strong feelings about being an American that we protest what we feel goes against our definition of what America is about - freedom, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. This is the problem today, which I find disturbing - many people pledge unquestionable loyalty to our leaders who have too much power and abuse it, and then there are those of us who feel devotion and passion for America's ideals and constitution, and protest any sense of suppression from government. Remember our founding fathers, and what many suffered and sacrificed. They rebelled against government that was too harsh and unfair, and fought to uphold their freedom. This is what America is all about.
You don't have to open a post to see how many
have viewed it. It is right beside the date showing at the end of the subject line of each post.
I have no idea what post you are talking about though.
I am open to all suggestions.
I have not removed it from the system but my boss should be in touch with me on Monday. They installed and I will pass that by them. BTW, have you had to removed and then reinstall- have you had any problems? I have XP with 1.5 gig and the other - not sure but had installed what computer person there at company suggested and still horrifice problems.
You have to open it and read it.
It's a hidden prize...
do u HAVE to open it - it has adware! - sm
WARNING: WinZix is advertised as a compression tool however it appears from analysis of the files produced that it simply adds information to a file so that WinZix needs to be installed to access it. The program contains an adware component that must be installed with the program and the EULA for that component says you cannot use anti-adware software against it. In addition, use of such software may damage the component and make it difficult to remove. FILExt has removed links to this software and advises that you install it AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you receive a "compressed" ZIX file you are advised to warn the sender and ask them to resend the file in a more conventional format (e.g., ZIP). .....
Open Message for ALL MTs - sm
Happy Medical Transciptionist Week to each and eveyone of you. Your dedication to your profession is, in my opinion, admirable. I wish I could do what you do. The knowledge you carry with you each day, the amount of patience and attention to every detail is beyond belief. I cannot imagine getting up out of bed every day and doing what you do each and every time you sit before your PC. I am a mere radiology/Diagnostic Imaging MT. They tried to cross-train me for discharge summaries, clinic notes, psychiatric notes, etc....and I almost went out of my mind. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you all and for all you do and know how to do. I just wanted to say this to you during MT week, and wish you all the best. My hat is truly off to all of you. You all deserve to take a bow!!
Sincerely.....
re open message
Thank you so much. After having a very frustrating day with my acute care job, it is so nice to hear that. Please don't discount yourself. I also started in radiology. I then went to a medical group and three years later went to acute care. It has been three years since starting acute care. I thought I would never get it, but I worked hard and am hanging in there doing a more than fair job.
i cannot open ANY post -- just me??

Open office
I am saying the same thing as I need to set up my laptop. Someone told me that Open Office is compatible with Microsoft Word products - can switch documents between the programs. I have gotten as far as installing it, but have not figured out anything further as of yet. If you check this out and find it works for you - tell me how you did it!! It has everything in it like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Database - so hopefully it will work out to save us all some money - it is a free program.
when I open your post
Who is that guy - your husband? Cute.
Open ES first, then drag them into box. nm

I use ChartScript, but I open
Word separately. Does your version open Word for you? When I worked in house on CS we had OLD versions of CS, I think it all opened together and we had no Expander - just the Autotext.
Sorry I don't know about the older versions, maybe someone more "techy" than me can answer. Do you have tech support you could call or maybe visit the CS website & ask?
Need Advice - trying to keep options open
I have only worked for one company, namely TL/Medquist, for many years. They have always supplied the things I need to do my job, computer, transcription equipment, phone line, etc. With all the job dissatisfaction with MQers in general, running out of work, etc., I would like to keep my options open as far as pursuing a job with another company BUT I don't know what type of equipment I would need or if other companies also supply equipment for you. Any information/advice about this or anything else that would help me be ready for a change would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 
Congrats on still having your eyes open!
Your 11 p.m. to midnight hour will be credited to the previous day since it technically is yesterday.
Okay, don't think that made any sense.
11 p.m. to midnight on 08/28/2005 is credited to 08/28/2005
midnight to 7 a.m. on 08/29/2005 will be credited to 08/29/2005, and then when you go back to work at 11 p.m. tonight, that hour will be credited to today, so you will get your 8 hours, just kinda split.
Good luck! I'm dozing. Sunday/Monday is the hardest for me.
An Open Letter to MTSOs
Don't be upset if we decline your offer of employment after being hired when...
1. Your server is down the entire afternoon of our first day of training.
2. You don't pay for headers, yet there are 4 different screens of demographic information we have to enter information into.
3. Your recruiter tells us we are paid for headers and/or spaces and we find we are not.
4. Your tech support can't seem to get your software up and running for us.
5. You quote us a line rate and then tell us you didn't get the account we were supposed to be working on so we will have to accept a lower line rate.
6. Calls and/or emails to support/supervisors/QA go unanswered.
7. Your software is nowhere near as MT friendly as your recruiter and/or trainer portrayed it to be.
8. The "more than enough work to keep you busy" fails to materialize.
Winmail.dat file....how do I open? nm. TIA
That's why I keep it open at the bottom of my screen

Word vs. Open Office
I have an even better idea than spending money on Word. I'm doing this myself. Log on to: www.openoffice.org and read about it, then download it and start using it. I love it! It's absolutely free. No risk of marketers getting your email address and bombarding you with junk mail. I learned about it through our I.T. Dept. It works exactly like Word! You can even use the spreadsheet and other features, but all I really use is the word processing part. Check it out and let everybody know what you think. I'm very happy I learned about it. :)
Why would you? I just open my SH first and use it minimized with ExText. Don't even use
s
I open it so it changes the color and I know I've seen the msg nm :)

Open Casket can be very traumatic
I was only 8 when I was forced by my mother, Catholic family, to "go see greatgrandma" - it was an open casket and to this day I've not forgotten how she looked or "felt"; my mother insisted I touch her hand one more time, ewwww!! It was horrid and I never took my children to any funerals; in fact my son is 26 and has yet to attend a single funeral.
I believe at 11 years of age your daughter is entitled to her opinion and you should abide by her decision.
Death is traumatic and it does affect different people in different ways. If she does not want to attend the funeral, maybe graveside after everyone else has left?
I agree with the previous poster there are always other ways to pay respect.
Blessings on your family,
Oops! I meant, yes they are open. nm

You do not say which version of Word you are using but if you open--sm
File, Print, and in the box 'print what' click on the down arrow and choose key assignments. Sorry, I do not use templates much so maybe someone else can answer that, or go the 'help' and you may find the answer there. Hopes this helps
If you aren't interested, don't open this.
 I'm back to work. I have moved into an apartment - 2 bedrooms. He has moved down to be with his family permanently. The kids are doing okay. I'm kinda stressed out right now because he is really putting the pressure on me to move down there near him so he can see his children more frequently. I don't want to move down there, it's two hours from here, and I say if he doesn't want to put a little bit of effort in for his children, then forget it. There is no point in moving down there away from my church and family. That would be highly self destructive at this point. I'm just getting sick of him. He's trying to make me feel guilty about our small apartment which he calls the Projects. It is not the projects, but even if it were at least IT'S NOT WITH HIM. I'm trying to get work done, but the quarters are cramped. I typed when they took a nap yesterday and I will again today. I appreciate all of your prayers. The nastiness ran me off last time and I don't intend to check in here much, unless I have an MT question. Better to keep my personal life to myself I guess. Just wanted to give an update. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers that I stay strong and move forward for mine and my kids' sake. Thanks!  Jodi

you don't have any other programs open that would interfere, do you? (sm)
I had 2 programs open at the same time and they both used the same foot pedal. I thought I broke something, but realized both were open, shut one down and viola! it worked!
yes, open notepad (see message)
If you have a list of addresses already, you can add a couple of "markers" to your list and then convert using the Run File Converter in Shorthand.
If your addresses are on separate lines like this
Jane Doe
123 Sesame Street
New York, NY 00001
you will need to set it up like this:
"janedoe", "Jane Doe
123 Sesame Street
New York, NY 00001"
Notice the name you'd like to use as the Expander is in quotes, followed by a comma, not a comma inside the quotes. Then, the actual expansion is in quotes and also appears on separate lines, and ends with quotes. When you run the Run File Converter option in Shorthand, chose option #5, text format: "keyword", "text" option and go from there.
If anyone else has a better, easier, or quicker way, I'd love to know!
You can also start the Run File Converter and chose "help" for options to see if you fit into another "option."
HTH!
