Headers/Footers and making template - Margo


Posted: Aug 25, 2011

HELLPPPP...anyone good at figuring out how to make a template?  client has a form that they sent and it has headers and footers each page.  They have a separate letter form, consult form and chart note.  Then there is a summation sheet at the beginning and STAT sheet at the end.  They want all of this done in one long document, i.e. hard page break between each patient.  I have played with this till blue in the face.  If I try to put the plain summation sheet first, it has their footer on the bottom.  If I try to copy and paste to make enough forms to do 20 patient's, it moves everything all over the place...i.e. date supposed to start at a certain line is now not at right spot.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

 

Thanx to anyone for the help

What about the company? Have they offered you any suggestions? - Or do they just expect you to figure it out?

Or am I just being a bit "snippy" so to speak.. Sorry if I am; it certainly isn't directed at you, but seems like we're just thrown out there and expected to "git-r-done!"

I'd be on the phone with my ______ - sm

insert title: Boss, supervisor, QA, team lead, whoever your higher-up is. In my case, it's just my boss. They would rather you ask and get it right than flail around and make mistakes. Sounds confusing to me!

You should - sm

start from scratch on your own document. Headers and footers have to be put in separately. You have to type everything in the main part of the document. You should do page breaks. Without seeing it, cannot offer a lot of help, but I did have a job doing document formatting and am pretty good at it. Hopefully, the suggestions above help you a bit.

Headers And Footers In Line Counts
May 28, 2011

Kind of stumped on this one.  I just recently started working for a company that does both VR and straight typing.  Luckily, have been doing more straight typing than VR, but noticed that after I did 20 or so reports my line counts were around 600-750 lines for those 20 reports.  Well I found out that the headers are not counted in our lines even though we may have to enter a date and sometimes even the patient name.  I was told by one of the supervisors that this is "now the ...


Making A Template With Word
Jan 13, 2010

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 ...

Transcend - Do They Pay For Headers In Reports?

I tried to verify my line counts by doing a copy and paste into word from their system.   The only way I can come close is if I exclude all those "automatic" headers that are included in the templates.   Does anyone else experience that?   This really knocks a lot of characters out of my reports.    ...

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

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 ...
