Looks as though no ones come across that problem before. Do let us know if you get a definite answer, incase we do in the future. Mavis |

Hi denise, Don't know if this helps, transcribe written, not printed. Ihave had instances where they are written out of alphabetical order with a note in the margin, (which of course there is no where to transcribe), and I was told enter in the order written, & ignore the out of sequence warning. This will also act as a nudge which might get you an answer from the night birds who have just come on line. Otherwise I'd check with your co-ordinator. Mavis |

Hi Mavis and Lesley and all, We have a new member called Kim who has answered on the other thread (no 13) I think ? Two threads its confusing lol Can I ask a question please. If you have a name thats spread over two lines on a printed sheet, (not handwritten) do you put all the names on one line. eg Jon, Philip, Jack, Fred and then the surname. This is what I have been doing but then the verifier tells me I am out of sequence???? Any of you know. Thanks Denise x |

Good tip Mavis. Sorry to say I sussed that out and didnt come on to tell anyone...OOpsss Sorry ladies (Goes and sits in naughty corner) OR another way of doing it is if you can see the first letter eg . M then type Ma and look through the list for possibles in Picklist if not then try Me and look there and Mo Mi Mu until you find the place....I have had to do it that way a couple of times as picklist doesnt always show every place if you type in just the number eg ,3b Loopy :~) |

It was pure chance, I decided to leave one & come back to it, but for some reason, entered just the code, and lo & behold this pick list came up with districts with that code. Could have probably done a extra couple of pages in the time that would have saved me in the last few weeks. Happy transcribing Mavis |

Brilliant tip Mavis, never thought of that! I just sit there straining my eyes figuring out one letter at a time, then checking that it is right against the district number on the actual FreeBMD site lol |
