Re: why does file size get larger when someone saves as .rtf

The footer is probably there - the first thing to check is on your system -
make sure you don't have Tools>Options>View set to hide white space. There
should be a check in the box for 'White space between pages'... You can also
click the edge of the page to turn the white space back on - which is
probably how it got turned off in the first place (assuming I'm right).

And of course Headers & Footers only display in Print Layout View (but you
probably knew that :))

John,
I hope you can help me again with this same transcriptionist. The footer on
each document is gone when I receive the document however it is there when
she creates and sends me the document. What would cause the footer to
disappear? She is using 2000 and I am using 2003--any issues with that?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Excellent :-) Yes, there are a variety of ways of doing this: template per
doctor, AutoText per doctor, or Macro that interprets the doctor's name.
Separate template per doctor has the advantage that if one template breaks,
it is very quick to re-create it from another doctor's template :-)

And thanks for writing back to tell us how you went. That's the only "pay"
we get (or need...) to keep US coming back :-)

Cheers

Ok, the transcriptionist did create a new normal template for the work and
this file size problem has been resolved. Often in transcription, the
transcriptionist has an actual template for each doctor. For each dictation,
the transcriptionist will use the file-new-template (on my computer)
functions to create the document. There are some however that start with a
blank document and use a format saved in AutoText and insert section breaks
between each patient.

Thanks for your help on this John. It is much appreciated!

Hi Daniel:

I did (write a book...)

Several of them, in fact...

That's what I do for a living :-)

But trust me, I am not the only inhabitant of this sanity-free-zone with a
bad case of typographical diarrhoea :-)

Cheers

WOW,

You've responded to several of my other comments I've made in the last
couple of days - you seem to really know your stuff !

You should write a book?
