 Workbook
for
The Medical Transcriptionists Guide to MS Word
3rd Edition
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."
