About The Guide

The Medical Transcriptionist's Guide to MS Word was written just for you—a medical transcriptionist—with your needs in mind. The manual is a step-by-step approach to applying Word to your daily routine with sample formats, specific examples, and plain-English instructions. Over 70 full-color screen shots and color-coded instructions make the book easy to read, easy to use. The book focuses on keyboarding skills, shortcuts, templates and macros to help you produce more lines in less time.  This edition covers Word 97, 2000 and 2002 (XP).  Although Word 2003 is not specifically mentioned, the tools and methods are still very applicable to Word 2003.
