Page Counter - Medtyper


Posted: Jul 30, 2010

Can anyone tell me if there is software that will count pages for reports that are one continuous file with multiple pages?   I have tried several, but they count the file as one page, rather than delineating each page separately.

Thank you.

A far out suggestion - Good Luck

It is late at night and I may have read your question wrong, but here goes anyway.


 


If you use a platform that is not MS Word, you can stop reading now.  LOL   


Just a suggestion.  I am sure someone else will come up with something easier, but just in case this may be an option.  


 


I do not know of any programs, but have you tried to create one yourself.  Plus, I am not really sure if this would be any faster than the method you already use.   


If you type in MS Word, and what you need to know is how many total reports you have in a long file, plus how many pages in each report, have you tried adding a Table to Contents at the beginning of your file after you are all done? 


 


This is easy to do if all your reports start with a similar heading as the first line, such as the date on letters or the type of report.  Just set Word to pick up every date or heading (as if it were a chapter in a book), and it will give you the table by page number.  All you would need to do is print it out and quickly subtract page numbers to figure out how many pages are in each report. 


For example, if all your reports are letters and you have the date as your first line, your Table of Contents would look like this:


 August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………..1


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………..3


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………..6


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………..9


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………10


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………11


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………12


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………16


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………17


August 1, 2010 …………………………………………………………………………………18


 


Results:


 10 reports


18 pages total


Report 1 = 2 pages


Report 2 = 3 pages


Report 3 = 3 pages


Report 4 = 1 page


Report 5 = 1 page


Report 6 = 1 page


Report 7 = 4 pages


Report 8 = 1 page


Report 9 = 1 page


Report 10 = 1 page


Or, if you use Type of Report as the First Line, the Table to Contents could look like this:


 PROGRESS NOTE..……………………………………………………………………………..1


LETTER………..…………….…………………………………………………………………..3


FOLLOW-UP VISIT...…………………………………………………………………………..6


LETTER…….. …………………………………………………………………………………..9


PROCEDURE NOTE..…………………………………………………………………………10


LETTER………...………………………………………………………………………………11


LETTER……...…………………………………………………………………………………12


CONSULTATION...……………………………………………………………………………16


LETTER……...…………………………………………………………………………………17


LETTER ……..…………………………………………………………………………………18

Thank you for your response.

I will need something more detailed, which will also produce an invoice with details (patient name, exam type, etc), just as MTStars Flashcount does with lines and other parameters. I have tried it for this purpose, but it does not delineate hard page breaks as individual pages.

Thanks again.

I have a question about Smartype and I will try to make it so it is understandable:)  I bought Instant Text because I had to have some way of moving my Smartype over into Word 2007 (I had Word 2002).  I have Instant Text turned off until I learn the new platform on the new company I am with.  My problem is this, the Smartype line will not move with the page so when I get to the bottom of the page it covers up everything at the bottom and I can only manually move Smartype by scrolling back up ...

Keystroke Counter? (sm)

VR drafts have BECOME so far off what was clearly dictated that it is taking LONGER to edit than it would to just transcribe it.  Not only do I have to re-transcribe it, but delete full sentences and phrase that sound nothing like what was clearly dictated!  As MTs we used to be paid for our keystrokes which was fair.  Today we probably put in twice the keystrokes we are paid for.  Anyone know of a cheap keystroke counter as I think this would be very useful in a suit again ...
