You will want Word 2003 most likely, but
while you are waiting, look into Chesapeake Transcriptions and Letni. Both advertised last year for MTs with Word Perfect/Corel experience. Just an idea.
Word 2003
I agree with Keri, 2000-2003 are widely used, 2007 not much, 2003 is the best.

2003 word doc
I posted a website for the directions for this yesterday. It was'nt a clickable link, but type it in and it will show you how.
IF you buy word 2003 can

you give it to someone else to download after you download it yourself.  Is this legal?


Thanks


Setting up Word 2003

Are compare document and compare and merge document the same thing?  I don't think they are. 


I'm trying to set up my toolbar and it says: click tools, customize, commands, categories, tools and find compare document and drag it to your toolbar.  I found "compare and merge" but not "compare."


Any help you can give is much appreciated!


Word 2003 or 2007?
I have just purchased a new laptop and am having Vista replaced with XP. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a preference by most employers between Word 2003 and Word 2007. Thanks!
Word 2003 or 2007
It seems that a lot of platforms are not compatible with Word 2007. Even the platforms that are compatible with Word 2007 always seem to be compatible with Word 2003 as well. If you can find a standard version of Word 2003 (not the academic version) at a decent price, you've struck gold!
You're not going to make 2007 into 2003 (sm)

however you can SAVE documents in 97-2003 format.  97-2003 uses .doc, 2007 uses .docx.


When you save your document, go to save as ... then as a word 97-2003 document.


Go to OPTIONS (you'll have to find it after clicking on the big round button on the top left corner) and there's a way to default it to save as 97-2003 all the time.


Why Word 2003? Are you required to tx with it specifically??-nm

WP5.1 how is it different from WP Office 11??nm

Can you save your 2007 docs in 97-2003 format ? (sm)
That's what I do but if you need to get 2003, ebay is probably your best bet. :)
What steps to take to make word 2007 into 2003

or do you have to buy 2003?


Thanks,

Each office is fifferent, even within each
office there may be some who prefer tapes versus handheld or some other type of system.  If you're going to offer a service you need to have a game plan.  Will you offer handhelds if they don't have them, what software do you have to download the files securely from the office to you, are you going to just upload the completed work back or will you do a remote print, are you going to store completed work for them or are they, etc. 
How do you get around this besides working in an office first?

or maybe I am expecting too much, and it just is not going to work without some office time before me.


 


I am not sure how anyone expects a new graduate to get a job when everyone wants experience; however nobody is willing to hire us so that we may gain that experience.


You do your time in an office first, like the
majority of the rest of the MTs did. That's how it works.
MQ employees at St Louis office
I just accepted a SE position with MQ at the St Louis office. Can I get some opinions of others that work for this office? I will be part-time, so I'm wondering about their training and how well are you treated. Do you get answers to your questions quickly and do you get feedback regularly.
Are you at the current doc's office all day long? sm
I was thinking that if he wants you to transcribe from his office, could you get that done in a couple of hours, and then go home to work from there? I started my "home work" with one doc. She raved about me so much that all her doc friends called me to get me to work for them. Sit down with your doc and feel him out. He could be a real help to you! Good luck!
Call their office to see which one they would recommend for you :) nm

From what I can see, it's not MS Word, it's "Opal Office"
and they are charging $11.95 for it, and it's a ripoff because they stole the program from "Open Office" which is totally free and are selling it for $11.95. At least that's how it looks to me.
I had to start out in the office of a local hospital sm

for a year, then went home.  I didn't want to go home to be honest, too many distractions and my twins were babies at the time, but they were sending everyone home.  I really don't know what to tell anyone when I see these posts.  There are lots of companies out there needing help and you'd think that if they are willing to send their work overseas to people that don't even speak English as a first language, then they would be willing to hire a new graduate.  I would be a little more pushy, offer to do 30 days at a lower cent per line then have a review, something like that.  Keep pushing, someone will see potential and take a chance on you.  Honestly, these companies that don't hire new graduates I just don't get it.  I work for a small local company that is always behind on their work and I always suggest they hire some new graduates from the two local schools, but they never do it, they just sit and wait for people to apply.  Good luck! 


office experience + Medical Terminology - Is it enough?

Hi everyone,


I've been wanting to take an MT course for quite some time, but still haven't managed to come up with enough money. So - I was wondering. Do you think for a beginning MT job in a hospital, would previous office experience plus courses in Medical Terminology be enough? Have any of you successfully done this?


Thanks for the help!


Christina


 


Maybe try a specialty doctor's office first. Most times
they will hire you, in-house, and go from there.

It is very difficult to find an at-home MT job just starting out; however, there are some companies who will hire you. I personally do not know of any, but if you do a search, maybe you will come across one.

When I started 25 years ago, it was in a private physician's office and I just moved on up from there.

Good luck!
Just be careful not to get Office Works or Suite
that is advertised as compatible with MS Word. I accidentally bought that once, the packaging was similar and the box said it did everything MS Word did. Well, it sort of did, but that software changed every document I had in my entire computer upon installation to its own version. That certainly would not have worked in transcribing and transmitting reports. While it did work with Word as the packaging said, it did so by changing Word to something else. I don't recall the exact name of this, but just read the packaging carefully and get Microsoft and not a lookalike. Just wanted to give you a heads up to avoid one of my many mistakes. Good luck.
Newly Graduate from Medical Office Occupations
I know that this may sound like a plug for a job but it isn't I have been down with a newly replaced knee. Now that I can find a job having trouble because I do want to become a home Medica Transcriber and no one will listen to me. How do I go about getting to Medical Transcribing so that I can do it at home.Please I could help with any solutions. Please email me at the above email address.
Have you tried Open Office? It's free and very similar - see inside

Ashley, have you considered getting accounts directly with a doctor's office?
I have been very successful as an independent contractor. You should really consider it.
I started out in the file room of the urology office I used to work for.
They had a new peds uro coming in and wanted another typist. The only schooling I had was 2 semesters of medical terminology at our local community college. Granted that was in 1990, and I at least had a working knowledge of urology, but it can be done if you really want it bad enough.
maybe take a medical term course and start with physical therapy office

Microsoft Word/Microsoft Word 2003 are the same
MS Word 2007 is an upgrade.  Are you sure that you don't have it installed on your PC?  I don't know if that helps...good luck, and please don't pull your hair out, it comes out with age (lol)
