tried to cut and paste but it didn't work - could you explain again - zig


Posted: May 24, 2010

The first report I tried this with, I was able to copy into a Word document.  The second tiime I tried to cut and paste, the first report kept showing up.  The third time I tried it, the first report copied over the report I had just transcribed and I lost the transcribed report and had to do it all over again.  What am I doing wrong.  Like some of you, I'm being sooooo careful, going over my reports twice before sending them in, and they're coming back with a bunch of errors in them.  HELP!!!

FYI: Cut and paste and copy and paste are 2 different things. Cut means you delete it then place it somewhere else. Copy means the original stays and you place a 2nd copy somewhere. Not sure what happened with what you're talking about, but I just wanted to clear up terms so people are not cutting when they should be copying, or vice-versa.

Actually, I was trying to copy and put it into a word document, but it didn't work. - zig

Could you explain how to do it again?

I actually have never done it. Not sure who originally explained it, so I'm not sure the usual "method" would work. In most cases, you just highlight the text in your medical document, press ctrl + c , open a Word document, then ctrl + v to paste it.

Is this right everyone?

Try highlighting what you want to copy, right click and select copy. Then go to the document you want to paste to and right click, then click paste. See if that works.
If she is copying from DQS to a word document, - that will not work.

You cannot right click and copy in DQS, you have to use CTRL+C

So sorry, you are correct. I was thinking of something else I have tried to copy before, perhaps off the internet or something, where I had to do the right click, copy because my CLT + C would not work. Again, sorry for the wrong info.

Cut And Paste
Jun 05, 2013

I really need someone to answer this. I have been accused of adding spaces to my documents, but my argument is that cutting and pasting the doctor's templates in a document used over and over (changing any parts he wants changed) is adding spaces. I did not do this on purpose. Has anyone ever had this type of issue before? Or am I alone? ...

Printscreen usually works to copy a screen image, and you can paste that from the clipboard to any program, like Paint.  When you cannot use the "Print Scrn" key to copy, just open up your task manager "control+alt+delete," and when that pops up THEN you can "print scrn and paste with the report in the background. All those bogus FIESA mistakes QA has been assigning to me are coming back to them big time with proof those were not my errors.  ...

Need Simple Word 2010 Macro For Copy/Paste
Feb 14, 2014

I've been using Instant Text for years but realized that there are probably quite a few macros I could create in Word 2010 to make certain repetitive commands a lot easier for me.  I know the basics of creating a macro in Word but cannot for the life of me figure out how to create a macro to do this: I want to copy text,(i.e. from a Preoperative Diagnosis) and have it pasted into the next line after the heading Postoperative Diagnosis when the dictator says "same." I tried recording ...

I have been a MT for 30 yrs. I had to stop working 4 yrs ago due to health issues, then finally had 2 surgeries which pretty much took care of the problem. While I was out on disability I got a grant, went back to an AHDI approved University and took refresher courses in MT fulltime for a year. Now, I'm ready to get back to work. I submitted a resume to M-Modal last week and just read they are not considering me. Is there a way to find out why? I'm a good transcriptionist and I want to ...
