Okay I work in Dictaphone VR. The latest version. I have Word 2007. In VR, the physical exam and its subheadings are all double spaced. Anyway to highlight the paragraph and make it single spaced? I usually just use arrows and delete about 7 times a row to tidy it up, but I was hoping I could highlight and do a few keystrokes and be done.
Thank you in advance for your help!

I just found out about this government program. From what I understand, it helps those who have lost all or part of their hours/income due to outsourcing of their profession, especially us older workers who need to retrain in order to reenter the workforce in another field.
It looks to me like Medical Transcriptionists should fit their description, and we should be eligible for some funding to get some training!
The catch is, in order to file, you have to have at least 3 pe ...

Greetings, I recently got a gig for Psychiatric clinic and I am a little confused as to the accepted formatting for DSM diagnoses under AXIS I... Here is what I have been doing, and it's different from examples I've seen online... I'm thinking I learned my current style from either CareerStep or working for Nuance; however, I'm not sure... My clinic doesn't really have any concrete formatting guidelines, but I want to be using best practices nonetheless. &nbs ...
