A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
I'm an IC, at present have two accounts, and have used WP for 24 years (WP X3 in the last five). However, because of changes coming down the pike, I think I should probably finally sit down and really learn Word (I have Word 2007).
I just thought I'd ask here before I take a class on Word: Are there any medical transcription shortcuts/secrets I should know about that I wouldn't learn in a class? For instance, is it possible not to use the mouse? Are there "reveal codes" like WP?
I'm also confused when I hear the word "platform." I have never worked for an MTSO, but may have to one day. Do I need to know Word in order to type on these platforms? Are the platforms themselves a word processing program? (I also know nothing about expanders. I know, I know, I am so behind the times...)
Thank you for your help!
