Template reports suspicious - sm


Posted: Oct 22, 2013

On a number of reports I do where a template is used (and believe me, they are few and far between, maybe one every three weeks), the print looks all squished together, like they are getting more characters per line for a lower line count.  Anyone else notice this?

The number of characters would still be the same even if the - wannie

font looks smaller. I don't think that would change the total line count for the report.

It's not that the font looks smaller. It looks squished together, and you would get more characters per line if that was the case (?)

line is defiend as 65 characters, not how many physical lines - total charct in rpt/65=lines

how it looks on paper or in electronic systems is irrelevant to MT line count

Template Use.
Dec 11, 2012

The company I work for no longer allows the MT to use their own templates.  They took the templates we had, gave them to the client, and their staff either made extreme changes or threw them out and wrote new ones.  Of course, the new templates never follow what the doctor says because they don't hear what is being dictated on a day-to-day basis.  I waste tons of time editing and now I only get paid 0.01 for those lines.  That turn ...

Template Use Question
Mar 15, 2010

Can someone tell me how to use a template in word on consecutive pages?  I know how to use it for the first page but can't figure out how to use it for say, 50 pages in a row.  A doctor wants his letterhead used as a template which I have scanned in but can only seem to use it for the first page.  Some of his letters are only one page and some are two or three (which wouldn't use the letterhead) but the whole dictation might be 50 or so pages.  I just can't fig ...

Making A Template With Word

I've been messing around with Word a bit the past few days, trying to figure out how to make a "jump" function, where I can put a symbol or letter, number, etc. in certain places of a master document so I can hit a control + letter key or whatever and have the curser jump to that particular symbol/letter.  I track all of my document IDs and Job IDs and I'd like a master to use every day so I can avoid all the tabbing, entering, etc.  Throughout the day, the first 3 numbers of ...

Question About Nuance Policy On Qualified (template) Lines
Dec 03, 2014

I was originally with one of the ambulatory groups that came through the back door of Nuance.  Our old ways of doing things have slowly been phased out since Nuance acquired us.  Currently I get 8.5 cpl for standard lines and 1 cpl for qualified (template) lines.  I haven't gotten the email about the video yet, but I've been reading on here about the new 7 cpl rate. What about template lines? Does Nuance pay for template lines? Thanks...  ...
