I think you all misunderstood my original post. I happen to be a MT Editor, VR. What I am talking about is when I get VR jobs that need editing, the jobs seem to be picked through by office staff "doctoring them up" so I have to re-type almost all the VR jobs before sending them back to the office. I was an MT for quite some time before this, and very happy to be doing VR Editor work, now. Just wanted to know if anyone else who is doing this was having this with their office staff, also. Thanks for the replies, though. They are great!
