This is one of the disadvantages of working by remote. I can't use macros
on the remote machine. My expander is there for me because I wouldn't work
without it, but not everything can be done with an expander.

This is why I charge more to work on the remote! I would not consider doing
it for the same price as when I got the day's dictation in one big file.
There are big, big savings to the client to have all the work entered
directly into the patient's files and they should not balk at paying more
for the services.

I am working on trying to figure out how to bring up the next dictation
automatically for my other clients, though. One client wants each patient's
dictation saved separately. I have partially automated this, but not
wholly. I have had trouble doing Macros in WP11, and haven't been able to
get the next digital dictation up quickly, but I'm working on it. There
must be a way, and I WILL find it!
