Are we allowed to use downloaded version - of MS Word to work?


Posted: Oct 30, 2014

I guess you can no longer buy full licensed copies of MS Word on a disk ???  I see you can get MS Word 2013 in downloadable form, starting with a "trial" and then I guess you end up paying per year or month?  So, is this acceptable or do we HAVE to have it on disk?

I use the downloaded 2013 version... - anon

and they charge me yearly. I like it because it saves to the cloud, so I can access my files from whatever computer I'm at.

Thanks! Can I ask you how and where to do this? - All I see is the software advertised

for around $150 to $200. Do you have to pay this up front and then still a yearly subscription?

I think I'll get it directly from the microsoft site.... - the download....$109

I am not sure if the $109 is all I have to pay though? Probably also a yearly amount....I'm so sick of looking for MS Word that I just don't care anymore....LOL

I have been a transcriptionist for 15 years, all of which has been on Dictaphone EXText and now EXEditor.  Why does my ESP in Dictaphone keep interfering? If I use an expansion and hit spacebar the ESP windows comes up, which makes no sense because ESP uses ctrl-ctrl to open?  And how on earth do you learn it all?  How will it benefit me after using thousands of ESPs daily.    Help!   ...

I sent a dictation to QC for blanks because the dictator was saying wrong words, and mis-speaking.  I just got about 7 major errors for things which the dictator changed mind, slurred, and that is why I put it in the pending with questions to begin with.  So, is this the correct policy. Put in the blanks, question certain words and then still get in trouble for this as major errors? I did not put through to client, questioned each, put difficult dictator in box, please help and then I ...

Anyone Know Why Semi-private Hospital Rooms Are Still Allowed Under HIPAA?

I work for one of the big MTSOs, take annual HIPAA training, and know I am subject to fines or discharge for disclosing someone else̢۪s medical info, either intentionally or accidentally such as via an incorrect C/C. I am therefore baffled as to why hospitals are still allowed to put patients in semiprivate rooms where HIPAA rules just seem to go out the window. For example, just yesterday I returned from a 23-hour overnight after an outpatient procedure at a well-regarded acute-care hos ...
