tiny font

In Reply to: hate this huge geriatric font - 2cents

Something is wrong here. It sounds like this board shows up in huge font on YOUR end, but it is about an 8 font on my computer. The main board, job seeker's board, and compary board show up tiny for me, but the other boards look about 12-14 font, which is MUCH better!

The font is very tiny for me. It never used to be this way. It suddenly occurred and nothing I do

I have IE set to display text size as largest, yet this font is so tiny I can barely see it.

Tiny statements from a tiny mind.


We are trying to figure out how to get out of this screwy place without being screwed any more.


 


Format, Font, Choose Font, Style Size & Color

Make sure you find out what font and font size
.
Format, Font, pick the font you want,

click the Default button.  It will ask if you want to change...say yes.


Ask what font, font size and margins are
Then you can figure out how many characters would be in a complete line of text. I am not sure if I am explaining this very well. :-( I worked for one place that had a small font size and small margins. So it did not work out for me as each line averaged closer to 70 characters, and there were not many lines that had only one or two words on them because of the set up.
I have that setup and may have tiny lag...
but its only a bit more than I had using wav pedal without Vonage. I do find the C-phone pedal to be a different cat from my wav pedal, though, and not very fond of it! Mine has gone psycho a few times and does its own thing, totally unresponsive to controls. As they aren't too expensive I may just replace it at some point with another used one and see what happens. If your C-phone is not new, you might cosider replacing the pedal to see if that helps. I have been told the pin-plug setup is very sensitive and easy to disrupt. Good luck!
What about those of us with tiny apts. - sm
either 1-bedroom or studio? On what we make, that's often all we can afford. If they want me to have a separate room or screened-off area for my workstation, they're gonna have to:
"SHOW ME THE MONEY"! (Or else do they mean I have to turn my tiny, 5-foot x 6 foot bathroom into a home office? I supposed I could fit a tiny little desk and a laptop in front of the toilet, and then sit on that to do my work.........
Sounds like tiny penis but not..lol

its not tinnitus, I have tried spelling tiniapitas


this has something to do with frostbite cold weather, HELP ANYONE


 


 


Stay tuned Tiny. It gets better.

My vet is teeny tiny. When she got pregnant with her last

baby she gained 60 pounds.   She probably weighs 98 soaking wet.   Anyway, her doctors put her on either Relacore or Cortislim and she lost the weight.   I have an overweight dog due to a disease and she said they are testing these drugs in dogs to see if it will help so I think there is some basis for it.  I took a drug similar that is supposed to block cortisol (can't remember the name, but it was cheaper) and it did help with my belly fat and soon I had to get new jeans because the ones I had  I had a handful of material on each side of stomach that hung down in my crotch area and it was very uncomfortable.  I even tripped once because I tried to step up over a low stone wall and there was so much extra material it constricted my leg movement and I wasn't able to lift my leg high enough. 


I am an emotional eater but I don't have problems with an overactive appetite, meaning I'm not ravenous all the time, never have been. 


 


I've just heard a tiny bit, but...sm
apparently Fusion also offers a transcription platform. I was just trying to see if there might be some comments on that. I appreciate your response.

I used it but it tended to "junk me up" so I took only a tiny dose...sm

for sleep, trazodone is better. It's an old antidepressant that's not really good for anything other than putting you out. However, if you need to wake up in the middle of the night (small children, etc.) you can pop right out of sleep and it doesn't have the hangover effect like benadryl or Xanax. So maybe ask about trying that. And I know, maybe I spelled trazodone wrong but I don't have my spellchecker on this board LOL!


After 15 years of being treated for depression on and off, and severe anxiety, I finally found a wonderful therapist. He got me out of a chronic low grade depression without any antidepressants AT ALL which I would have bet could not be done. So maybe think of that, too?


one of mine is tiny - nearly died from renal
failure last year - and in the process of trying to get weight on him and leaving food down his brother is up to a whopping 17 pounds now - he would give me lower extremity circulation problems!!
The tiny lettering was difficult for me to see and no pictures! LOL sm
I'm kidding about the pictures.

Do you think its handier to have the book on your desk or the program at the click of a mouse? Thanks for your reply!
My cat veterinarian authorized us to use cat Frontline on our 5-pound tiny toy poodle
She said it goes by size and he's the size of a small cat.
Any chance of taking a tiny ad out on local hospital websites, if not too expensive? Perhaps Drs wo

Most men can't hear the tiny tings, noises that cars make, and things like
 an alarm clock.  A doctor I used to work for did the same thing in the bathroom too.  But, I never heard a plop! Thank Goodness.
I was joking, cause the poster I responded to made a HUGE typo in a tiny sentence!
would like to believe, MYSELF included! Lighten up!
She's tiny, cute, rich, famous, drug free, and a great singer.
Oh, what a horrible person!  (sarcasm)
Font
only when using a method other than character count, such as gross lines or straight lines. Otherwise, size makes no difference (in transcription . . . LOL)
Font
Font has nothing to do with line count.
font changes
try selecting all text in the template, then while it is all highlighted change your font to what you want- then re-save template and that should do it
font changes
the easiest and surest way to make sure you are changing the entire template is to do go through edit and select all- this will pick up hidden formatting as well
Do you like the larger font?

Yes like the larger font. Thanks.
nn
yes! like the large font

LOVE the new font...THANK YOU!
It's so much easier on middle-aged eyes.
Guess I am, too. I don't like the big font at all. nm

font size
When paid by cpl, does it affect your line count if you type in a size 10 or size 12 font?
Font size
I have an account and they did not indicate a font size - I know that it makes a big difference the more that you have bolded in a report - what would be a reasonable font size or the standard font size to use?
font does matter
if you are on a gross line account, like me, font does matter. I am "required" to use a 12 point font and no more or less, and it does make a difference in the line count...but then again, gross line ends up paying more than 65 character lines!
Font size
I have read with interest the thread on font size.  Now I know why one company allows you to transcribe in one font and then it gets printed in another - which is much smaller - which does make it harder to get your lines.  I thought that it was me - but could not understand until I saw what was getting printed and counted, as to why it was so difficult to get a good line count when I had always done so in the past.  Is this not in some way misrepresentation?  You see what looks like a nice report and then when it gets printed it is so small that you can hardly read it - this also messes with the end of your lines and sentences - where if you make a hard page break on what is on your computer screen it comes up as something different on the copied version on the other side.  All of the info offered was good and this is a good point to make when looking at work - especially if you are new and do not know anything different.
I think you would specify the font or renegotiate

change font
I have several accounts that use different fonts, one Arial 10, one Times Roman and one Univers and when I do my invoicing I just highlight and change the entire document to Courier 12.  All the docs are aware that my cpl that I quoted was based on using the font Courier 12.  I have never in 18 years been questioned or challenged on an invoce or line count.  Easy enough to do.  Takes 2 seconds to do it.   Patti
font size
If you are counting by dividing characters by 65 characters, no matter what font you use it will be the same. However if you count by gross line -- line charge no matter how many words on a line you will lose money.   But if it is by by every 65 characgers (including spaces) you could use an 8, 9 or 12 font and the charge will all be the same.
font size
Every place I've ever worked or worked for has a default font. You can have text on your screen set at newspaper headline size (like my MT friend who has macular degeneration) and it'll usually default to their 11- or 12-pt font. I'm sure every hospital or MTSO's software specs are different, though.
Font question
When I hold down the control key and scroll the mouse wheel to enlarge the font in EXText, does it change the way the document is seen once it's sent or is the change only on my desktop.  Sorry but I'm very technically challenged. 
regarding smaller font
I will type in any size font that they want, use what ever margins that they want but when I do my line count I change the document back to Courier 12 and use my usual margins.  I tell them up front that my charge per line is on Courier 12 with 1" margins on sides.  No one has every questioned me for this.  They can have as many characters they want on a line in whatever font that they want but not for my line count.  Saves me on my sticky paper and so I don't care.  But have been doing this for years and am very upfront about what my definition of a line is and yes I do gross lines. 
Does anyone know how to change font

When I read web pages everywhere, the font is huge and I do not know how I ended up with it this way?  Does anyone know how I change it?  I have AOL. 


Thanks! 


font size
I think you just go under view and change the text size to whatever you want it to be.
FONT QUESTION

Do most services use a Times New Roman 12 font?  I was told by the service I might be signing on with that I could not use Courier New 12.  I use this font size due to my eyesight. 


what is your font size set at??
The zoom feature will not affect the size of the printing font, but the font size will. Make sure it is at least 12.
Font size
When I highlight the text it is in the font size I want, but when I insert the autotext it makes the font smaller.
The font has nothing to do with the length
of a line, that is set by the margins. A 65-character count line is a line, whether the line itself has 55 characters or 85 characters. It takes 65 to make a line.
Can you change the font??
I've been typing for this doctor for about ten years.  He recently changed the email address where I sent my finished work, and is having some new girls put the notes in the chart.  They just asked me if I could switch my font.  I looked at a file, and in switching the font, I lost 300 lines.  How would you handle this?  My husband told me to tell them I'll send it and they can put it in whatever font the want it in.  I know that may change the formatting somewhat and make it not look right.  What the heck?!
Yes, a larger font would be more comfortable. Thx! nm

Sorry. Got cut off. Nothing I do can increase the font size.
