D-List Basic-Answers
1. After installing, it said that macro
failed to create. What do I do now?
There are some reasons why macro creation failed, i.e., macro security
settings in Word, antivirus software, or firewall settings. Refer to the
instructions in the
D-List
User Manual on how to create a macro manually. After creating a
macro, you will need to create a shortcut key; these instructions you will
also find in the User Manual. A shortcut key is not part of the automatic
setup, as we do not wish to override existing shortcuts that customers
value and use.
2. How do I
get back to viewing the entire table?
To view the entire table, click Clear to clear out any contents in the
search fields and then click Search.
3. Can I use Alt+keys to access the buttons on D-List, rather than
clicking with my mouse?
Yes, you can. These will be displayed with an underline under the
letter. For example, for the Search button, the S is underlined; you use
alt+S to do a Search. If you are running Windows XP, these will not be
displayed until you hit the alt key; then all underlined letters will
appear.
4. Can I merge 2
tables together, creating a new table?
Unfortunately, not at
this moment. It is one of the priorities on our to-do list for an
upgrade. However, it is possible to add a spreadsheet list into an
already-created table. It will merge the information and arrange it
back in alphabetical order.
5. Is there a way to make a
back-up copy of my information in D-List?
Absolutely. In Windows Explorer or
My Computer, go to C:/Program Files/Transcription Galaxy/D-List. (Path
may be different if you chose to install to another directory upon
setup.) Copy the file with the .mdb extension and paste it to either
another folder, a floppy, or a disc. In the event that you lose your
database information, simply take the backup copy and paste it back into
the D-List folder. It's encouraged that you make regular back-up copies
of the .mdb file so as not to lose your information. It's even a safer
method to safe it to a floppy or disc in the event that something happens
to your computer.
6. I don't like the size of the
window of D-List. Can I change this?
Yes, you can. Simply place your
mouse cursor over any of the edges (or corners) of D-List and either drag
it inwards to decrease the size or outwards to increase the size. It is
useful to click and hold the mouse on the title bar of D-List to drag the
program, so that you can view information from a webpage and type it into
D-List at the same time.
7. Are there any shortcuts for
adding entries into D-List?
Yes; you can choose to import a
spreadsheet into D-List. Commonly, hospitals/clinics provide these.
Also, if a name or address is long or complicated, you can highlight/copy
the text from a webpage or document and paste it into the appropriate
D-List entry field. Also, don't forget that you can share tables
with other D-List users!
8. How do I install
upgrades?
Once an upgrade becomes available,
you will find a patch to download on the
Upgrades
page. Simply follow the instructions as prompted. If you
missed a previous upgrade, it doesn't matter because the latest patch will
include all previous changes as well.
9. When trying to import a
.dxp table into D-List, I get the following error: Number of query
values and destination field not the same. What does this mean?
This is mostly caused by a version
incompatibility. Please verify that both users are running the same
version of D-List.
10. Can D-List be installed
on a server and accessed by networked transcriptionists?
Not for D-List Basic; that program
only allows the database to be accessed on the same computer.
However, D-List Server is expected to be released later this year, which
will allow multiple users to connect to the same database.
11. I purchased D-List.
However, registration fails. Now what?
Verify that you are using the same
email address as provided when you purchased the program. If
registration was interrupted, you may need to write
SUPPORT for
assistance so that you will be able to re-register.
12. Yes; You can use Excel
to open the data and then print. Follow the steps below.
1. Open Excel and go to Data...Import
external data...New database query (may need
the CD to install extra components)
2. A Choose Data Source dialog box
opens. Select DOCDB* and click OK.
3. Under available tables & columns, it
will show Details, GroupNames, and PlacesOfInterest. Highlight
Details and click the button with the > symbol. Click
the Next buttons 3 times. Click Finish.
4. A new dialog box will appear asking
you where you want to put the data. Just click OK.
All of your physicians from all the tables will be in this spreadsheet
now. You will see a Group ID at the left, which signifies a table.
(Each table you created will have its own Group ID.)
5. To extract the information from the
Places tables, repeat the above steps, except highlight
PlacesOfInterest in Step #3.
6. You'll now be able to adjust the width
of the columns and print.
