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)
Help with Microsoft word

I have to take a test and the company is not compatable with Word 2007 and I have to send the test back to them.  How do I change the word 2007 into a lower version?


Thanks


Help with Microsoft word
They are saying that they have word 2003 and the platform required 2000 or 2003. So does that mean that 2007 does not work?

thanks
Microsoft Word delay
I am having a problem typing in Word.  Every so often there is a delay and a letter is skipped.  In the meantime, I am words ahead and have to go back to fix the missing letter.  Obviously this will be an issue for production. I have looked all over the internet to see if it is a common issue but don't seem to see much about this delay.  It is definitely a delay, not sloppy typing!  Hopefully someone out there has had this issue as well?  Perhaps hopefully it is just a settings issue!  Thanks!

I have Microsoft word 2007 and I

Hi,


I have just got an XP laptop with word 2007 and I can't hear the Doctor's voices they are not coming through, nothing wrong with the volume.  Is there anything you can do to correct this on word  2007?

Reply to Microsoft Word Questions

How much info goes on second page depends on the document itself. It is highly unprofessional to have only two lines only or two lines and then a signature. If that's the case, change your margins and put it on one page or push more of it over to the second page. Only two lines in a paragraph or on a page is considered orphan or widow lines; there is not enough information to know for sure that the information on the other page really does go with those two lines--it leaves room for the possibility of confusion or switching of documents--which is way bad.


Left justify should be on your toolbar across the top of Word and looks like several lines which are even at the left side and uneven along the right side. The center key will be the next one and the left justify will be next, then--if it is on your toolbar with be left and right justify. This key looks like several lines, which are perfectly even along the right and left sides (like the newspaper).


Hope this helps.


My memory is a bit fuzzy but I think Microsoft

autotext/autocorrect.  Depending on how much you use in and how much you put in, there is a known problem that either of the programs can crash and leave you having to rebuild everything.  Yes, macros are difficult.  It might be best to invest in an abbreviation software program such as Smartype or Shortcut that uses little computer resourses, is reliable, can do the same things as macros and Smartype comes with all the Stedman words already in it so many times you don't even need to finish typing a word and it saves you keystrokes/time.


Good luck!

Please make sure to ask word questions on the Word Help board. There are
people who specifically answer questions there.
If you currently type in word, then do a word count
then I really can be of no help.  Usually when trying to get an idea of a line count with spaces and without spaces, you can use this method.  Some people have actual line counting software.  I, however, do not, so I am not much help in that regard.  Hope this helps at least a little.
Thank you for the information...nm
  
Information
Thank you soooo much for the information and helping me to make an informed decision..................:)
I don't have any information on it, but if you want to
most are CareerStep, M-TEC, and Andrews.  That doesn't mean other schools are no good, it just means that those are the most recognized in the online community.  If you want to work on site in your own city, take a course offered on site in your own city because that will be more recognized.  Hope this helps.
MT Information

Hi,


I have just read some of the responses on becoming a MT. I was wondering if anyone had more detailed information regarding how long it actually takes to get certified, cost and realistic opportunities after graduation. Are most jobs in hospitals, doctor's offices etc. or are most work-from-home? What can a new graduate expect for an annual income? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!!


-Leslie


Information regarding M-TEC
I believe that the software requirements can be found on the M-Tec website, but I have not checked lately. You need Word and that is it. I would not buy any additional books before you actually start the course as you receive a large number of references. This information can also be found on M-TEC's website. How you decide to take notes will be your decision. Some use OneNote, some Excel, some Keynote and some take notes with paper and pen. You will receive all the references and tools necessary to be successful. The rest is up to you. It is a tough course and prepares you well for working afterwards. Once you graduate, you will have access to a job board, and you will realize that M-TEC will open many doors for you. All this information can be found on their website and on their forum. You can also ask questions on the forum or just call or e-mail M-TEC, and you will receive all the answers. While taking the course you can share the computer as long as you can ensure that you have access for a certain length of time every day and/or during the week. For work I would recommend having a dedicated computer. There are several companies that provide a computer to the MT, and I think that has been discussed here on MTStars on the company board.
Thank you for the information!
I've already download it the trial.
I need some information please

I have recently submitted a resume online and have medical transcription experience. It has been a few years, but I have been a processor for the government and am a fast and accurate worker. Long story short, I stumbled upon this area, checking out a certain company that is interested in me, and they want me to test. I see they are listed in this area, but I want to see if it is a job, or a school. Can any one speak out and advise me please? I am looking for a good home based position, but want to see what the company is like, as well as the employees.


Please, if anyone is out there, reply to me. I have been unemployed by the government after a huge lay off and am trying to keep my home for myself and my disabled child. I hope my prayer will finally be answered.


Thanks for letting me in.....  



This is not first-hand information about M-Tec, but
I cannot recall ever seeing anything negative about any aspect of M-Tec on any MT board. I also do not recall ever hearing of any successful M-Tec graduate who was not able to find employment. The key to the success of schools like Andrews and M-Tec is that they prepare their students very thoroughly, and employers are well aware of the quality of their courses and are therfore eager to hire them. If I had it to do all over again, knowing what I know now, I would absolutely have no qualms about signing up with either Andrews or M-Tec. Hopefully, an M-Tec graduate will be able to give you a definitive answer about placement. M-Tec personnel have a reputation for integrity. I have never seen any negative comments about any of them on any MT board. It would seem quite safe to rely on any claims they make about their placement success.
Great information.
I will definitely keep that in mind.
That's okay. No need to verify the information
It would be nice if their web site would list medical transcription and the credentials of the instructors. That's not your fault. I'm disappointed in the way community colleges handle it because it shows a lack of respect for the medical transcription course they offer. That's their problem though, not your responsibility. I just thought maybe your school was diferent and had verifiable information. Thanks anyway for your reply.
M-TEC is always forthright with information

I know it might sound odd to some, but we do pride ourselves on telling the truth (and nothing but the truth) to prospective students, current students, and graduates about the industry, job opportunities, and the profession in general. We are not like some of the matchbox schools who are trying to enroll everyone and anyone off the streets. We have a pre-enrollment test, and we pride ourselves on the difficulty level and quality of our program. We only enroll as many students as we know we can handle. Period. We won't tell you that this course is going to be easy, nor do we tell you that you can do this from home in your jammies with kids on your lap. We take this profession very seriously, and we expect our students and graduates to do the same. Our placement rate is high and, while the biggest percentage of our employers who hire our graduates are looking for full time employee status (what a great opportunity that is by the way), many of them will also still hire part-time. It is easier by far to make this a career choice and prepare for full time position so that you can continue to train your ear and update your skill levels once you graduate. If part-time is the only option for you, we will work with you to that end. Those are the facts.


That having been said, I would be more than happy to talk with anyone who is sincerely interested in our program or medical transcription in general. Please feel free to email at sfrancis@mtecinc.com or call toll free 877-864-3307 and talk with me or any one of our staff at your convenience. :)


The websites will have a lot of information..sm
about price, what you get for your money, how long you can expect the course to take, etc. Any other questions can be directed to the school and they will be happy to answer your questions. Just don't let price be the only consideration. The value of the materials, instructors ability, and marketability should be considered.
You cant put someone's personal information out there like that. nm

Not sure where you had heard this info, but we never would hire anyone and allow them to work for free. We pay competitive rates for every single new hire. Our training program that we used to have was a FREE program offered to new grads.

Sites with more concrete information

At www.mtchat.com there is a forum faq called "Interested in MT?" which has some great info.  Also, check out MTEC's website; under prospective students are some good links--the "Is MT right for me?" also has links to AHDI's website, as well as the Bureau of Labor's information on the field of MT. You can also search this website...


I have to say, this isn't an "I'm in it for the money" field; you have to like this work to do it and be happy.


information site for newbies
I am a newbie at this as well and have gathered information from what I have learned through the courses and have compiled them into a blog. I yet have more to talk about and share with other newbies. You may want to check my job links list as there are a few that are hiring new MT graduates. You can visit it at

Hope this helps.

Freedom Type? Information?
Does anybody know anything about Freedom Type? Is it a good place to work, pay well, give newbies a chance, etc.? Let me know. Thanks.
MxSecure, any information on this company that you would like to share...
or anyone working there?
But don't send your resume. It has personal information on it. Right Misha?

LOL, gotcha!


She's been trying to find...
I agree, there were some at the online course I took who have been 'taking' the course for 2 or 3 years. I suspect that to many the lure of $$ takes over with little concern for the amount of work and the responsibility of the job.
I can't find a job!!!
I just graduated about a month ago from Career Steps and I can't seem to find a job anywhere.  Everyone wants 2+ or more years experience.  I am going to try and go out on my own so I hope that it works.  Does anyone else find it hard to find a job that is new??
I can't find a job!
This is what I did 6 years ago while in the same position. Send a letter or flyer to all the speech and language pathologists in your area. It's easy transcription, but charge by the page. I currently charge $4.50 a page and do about 250 pages a month. These people are usually psychologists and don't want to deal with the line count thing. It worked for me. No ESL's and they pronounce each word correctly.
Good luck! E-mail me for more information.......resume@enter.net
I can't find a job!
No, speech and language pathologists are NOT PSYCHOLOGISTS. They are speech and language PATHOLOGISTS, which has its own separate certification and is very different from psychology.
How do I find them?
Could you give me a clue as to where I could start looking for these places that will give me an opportunity to sho them what I am capable of. This would solve child care and the fact I have no way of going anywhere.

Cant find a job
You need to find out what companies will hire Career Step graduates. They are partners in education with alot of transcription companies that will waive the 2+ years of experience. Check with your instructor from Career Step, to find out what companies to apply at. I graduated from Career Step- with honors, and it still took me just under a year to find a job. I happened to graduate at a time when no-one was hiring, so I had to wait it out. This is a hard profession to get into (working from home), unless you are willing to work on site for the first year or so.
can't find a job
I finally starting putting in my resume that I was tired of compaines not wanting to hire anyone without experience. That got my foot in the door and I will be starting with a company next week. Go for it don't let it discourage you. I too graduated from Career Step, BTW
