Workbook for The MTs Guide to MS Word
The Workbook is perfect for medical transcription
training programs. The Workbook is designed to accompany The
Medical Transcriptionist's Guide to Microsoft Word, 3rd Edition.
Even if you have completed a transcription program, or are
already a practicing transcriptionist, the Workbook is
the perfect way to systematically learn MS Word for
transcription.
The Workbook includes ten lessons, all designed to
build skills necessary for efficient and accurate medical
transcription. Also included are skills for using Windows and
safeguarding data in case of a computer shutdown or hard drive
crash. The workbook focuses on keyboarding skills instead of the
mouse for maximum efficiency. Overall, the curriculum is
designed to show the student of MS Word how to apply the many
techniques available in MS Word to their daily routine to reach
maximum productivity.
"I think this book would be extremely
valuable in a medical transcription course. The tools in
this book definitely helped me to increase my income. Having
used this book, I feel the biggest advantage of the material
presented is that it is presented by someone experienced in
medical transcription and for medical transcriptionists."
