Screen Resolution/Font/Screen Percentage
My eyes are tired all the time. I usually have my monitor set at 800 x 600 pixels and use Bookman at 10 font in Word at 111% in the normal layout. What might be a better viewing screen setting to use?
Does anyone know how to move the slider
in the transnet player for Extext without having to use the arrows to get back and forth-it takes too long to manipulate through dictation?  Thanks in advance to the experts! 
Okay, thanks, really need a slider option here

EXText Word Client - blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen
I am using EXText Word Client software with Transnet. I am getting a blank screen everytime I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen). I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software an upgraded but still errors out the same way. Are there any EXtexters who could help?

EXText word client blank screen everytime I give ok in DIS screen
Thanks your suggestion was very valuable. At a specified time (which the technical side say, when the net speed is very good), it is working without a problem at all (whereas this was half working and half not working before even at this time), but other times, still the same problem exists.

Actually the blank screen comes every time I give "ok" in the DIS screen (patient details info screen).
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS SLIDE BY.....
PAY ATTENTION!!
NO DON"T LET IT SLIDE! sm
you don't know what she is thinking and you need to explain if you can. Its her choice to believe you or not but letting it slide may come back to bite you later.

I have been a supervisor before and if someone didn't answer an e-mail like that I would figure the next time they just didn't want the extra work and I would not offer it to them. Its not up to the supervisor to ask etc. You have seen the e-mail now so explain to her. Its not that big of a deal to explain but its a bigger deal to ignore it!
honestly, just let it slide. You don't have to say anything. I have a sm
tendency to talk a lot sometimes and write a lot sometimes and I would hate to think that something I said in passing could jeapordize my career. I'm sure she was just trying to be very friendly. I know many recruiters and they are very friendly. I wouldn't say anything.
let it slide, unless she asks.

Usually totally quiet, maybe back slider open for windchimes - sm
and the birds chirping. But have to work a lot with the TV on (kids in my BR watching a tape/DVD/TV) which they keep as low as possible but very distracting. Like it best when totally quiet though.
At one time I would have let it slide, but now I've learned I can't afford it or

Maybe its your resolution?
its fine for me. 
NY resolution
All I want for new Year's is a brand new job.
My resolution is...
My New Years resolution is to remember birthdays and anniversaries better. I've never been one to make a huge deal out of birthdays/anniversaries and I'm terrible at remembering when they are so my resolution is to change that. I set up a little system for myself so that I can remember ahead of time to send a card or gift depending on who it is so hopefully this will help me out. I can understand the weight resolution but since that's always my resolution I figured I'd try something different for a change.
resolution
The other day I was chatting with someone I have "known" for several years through a social chat room.  She asked me what I did for a living and I told her I was a medical transcriptionist. She said "what is that?" so I explained briefly.  She asked if I worked at home and I told her yes.  She replied that she had a daughter who was looking for work and she wondered if that would work for her.  Ok, maybe it's just me,  but I am really tired of ppl thinking they can do MT work because they want to work from home.  My resolution for 2009 is to not tell people that I work from home.  I realize this is ridiculous but I just get really frustrated at times.  How about you? 
Temporary resolution
I scanned the SOAP sheet and can print it out (and it looks very good) and then use the sheets I have printed to print the first page of transcription on and the office is okay with this, at least for now. The MA will have to transfer the info from the original SOAP sheet header/template to the one I return with the transcription. I feel bad that I am causing the MAs more work but we all agreed that this seems to be the simplest way to go. It will actually save them money not having to purchase the sheets from the printing co. any longer at least. :) Money always talks, ya know. :D
My new year's resolution is to ... (s/m)
quit my crappy on-site transcription job, where I have worked for far too long and been treated like dirt for too many years, and take a job with a national so I can work at home and get a little peace & quiet.
Not resolution but appearance--this is what you need. sm
You don't want to full with the resolution of your computer as that is based on the type of video card inside your computer and you could end up having to reinstall your video software. I interpreted your message to mean that you had a smaller moonitor before you got the 19 inch one, so your icons, lettering, etc., are much smaller now that you went to the larger monitor, which will happen.

To fix this so you can work without straining your eyes, right click on your desktop, choose Properties, then choose Appearance. You will see Scheme and it may have Windows Standard or Windows Classic selected. You will need to select either Windows Standard Extra Large or Classic Extra Large for now--so you can work. Later, you can customize the settings exactly the way you want them for the icon bars, menu bars, text in your documents, etc. I hope this helps!
Changed the resolution....sm
I found a website that said to try increasing the resolution on the monitor. Since mine was at the highest available resolution already, I decided to go down in resolution....And so....voila....my desktop now fits on my whole monitor screen. However, now my resolution is less, and so everything is blurry.

So fixed the main problem, now another....but at least everything is on the screen now!!


why would the resolution change without someone changing it?
nm
Could it be 'sacral high-resolution' ? - nm
.
I truly hope that you get some resolution to this. ((Hugs to you, my dear.))

Restore System or lower resolution did it for me sm
I got a new monitor that wouldn't work in Word so I set it to the old, smaller resolution and it works in Word just fine now. On another computer Restore System fixes absolutely everything, saves my life over and over again!
You could just enlarge all type in your monitor resolution. nm
nm
mine is fine...sounds like a monitor resolution thing--
or perhaps, did you download an antivirus update or something. maybe your video card acting up?? just suggestions.
I am getting the LCD screen. Do you like that screen.
:
screen
yep! Only had mine for about two months now and just love it. sooo much more room on my desk, and alot less glare.
I'm getting the same screen here and I need a job!! :) nm
nm
PS - Your screen name is the BEST.
We need more posters like you on this board... two thumbs up! :)
TES Screen is ...
the screen where the patient data is entered (name, DOB, acct #, ref. physician, etc.)

Anyone have a similar problem as posted above?
Screen shot
Can someone tell me how to make a screen shot of whatever is on my computer screen?  Sometimes it helps to have a screen shot when contacting the IT department for help. 
Lagging screen
Have already checked with them.  I have my own new computer and don't use any of theirs.
DQS demo screen

I find that I write down the MR# or billing number, then just search using the patients name and can get a whole slew of choices.


You can try just the first 2 letters of the last name if not sure on spelling.


When you have the right choice, the MR# will pull in when you pull the right name in.  HTH


demo screen
same here, too. and to think we don't get paid for that either!!
Full screen
No, it's not in full screen mode. You're right, though, I was hitting Ctl not Alt for a while. Have tried Alt V and nothing happens.

I did find something in MS Help online, but it requires that I start the machine in Safe Mode. The PC locks up now when I get to the dos program where I would select Safe Mode.

Thanks for all the help. So far I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked yet.

I'm about ready to light a match to this machine, I tell ya!!

screen prior
I would say something like I would like to ask ome questions prior to sending in a resume and testing as I feel this saves time on both sides. A concern is:     _____  and also the low rates offered and the formula used to figure the payrate. Get it out of the way, don't waste time, some are down to 4 and 5 cents/line for MTs.  Less than 10 is not acceptable and even with that, it sure is not good by the time you figure the hourly rate and just what skill is expected/given and under what terms, I have seen 99.5 accuracy expected. When these bad terms are turned down by the MTs it will not turn around. 
Cleaning your screen
Never use windex it will mess up the screen and good. Water is okay, but not the best. I use Klear screen. You can order it on e-bay fairly cheep. It is recommended by all computer industries for both laptops and regular desktop screens. It is awesome.
If it is typing on the screen, then it should not
be a problem, just the same as if you use AutoCorrect or an abreviation expander.  You are NOT after all bringing in text from another word processer...you are creating text on the screen you see.
If you look at the bar on the bottom of your screen SM

while having your mouse pointer over the image in the email, you will notice it is a "snapshot" of an ebay page and the buttons that you would normally click on are part of the picture. Basically clicking anywhere on that image will take you to the site listed in the information bar at the bottom of your screen  It is always an aol hometown site in the scam ones I get. I just got an ebay one recently where it had similar language- basically harassing me to pay for something. I think it is written that way to startle you into clicking right away to take care of "the problem". 


If the Chinese government can go after dissidents through Yahoo, why can we not get these scam artists that set up their scam sites through AOL?  I know, I know, that was just a rhetorical question. 


Drug Screen
Well, I thought that you listed drugs you too also, but they said it didn't matter. If anything at all came up they wouldn't let me have the job. I even showed them the bottle in my purse, and they said it just didn't matter, legal drugs or otherwise. Oh well, lesson learned I guess. Thanks for response.
kind of screen
geez, i have no idea. It feels like glass. Its just a clunky old-style monitor.
What screen colors do you use?
What screen colors are easiest on your eyes? I read somewhere that shades of lavender/purple actually caused the least eye strain. (I'm assuming no color blindness!) I've been using black text on white background for a long time, but I'm getting old, the bifocals slip on my face, and I'm trying new colors. Just wondering what colors most MTs use to prevent eye strain.


screen color
Is that the color the company you work for gave you? Tech support should be able to change it for you. Mine is blue with white print. Much easier on the eyes. I had one where the preview page was yellow, gosh awful yellow!
I have a flat screen already, but sm
it is small.  I would like to go larger.  Thanks for posting.  This answers my questions as well.  Didn't know if bigger is always better, but sounds like it works well for others. 
Yes! Yes! Yes! Flat screen!
I have a 19 inch flat screen and love it! Once you get a flat screen you will never go back! Also the weight difference betwen them is huge! To can pick up that flat screen and move it around anywhere you like. Would highly recommend. PS. I have a Westinghouse 19 inch,  and I would recommend a 19 to 21 incher!
Well, it may not be on the MR, but it is on the demo screen (at least for me) SM
where I work.
it is usually because they used it in a smaller screen
Open it up, click on the large square in the upper right hand corner next to the X for closing it, so that it is enlarged.  Then close it, and it should open to the full screen the next time.  Most all software will open in the same size that it was closed in the last time.  Hope this helps. 
Screen blank for me too.
nm
screen size

Does anyone know how to change the size of your screen size so the text will larger.  I saw this a couple weeks ago on how to do it and forget to write it down.  I know it was either alt or control and some other key.


Thanks!!



Screen in 2 parts, need only 1
let me state over as maybe someone knows how to get out.
