Transcription Template
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2011 6:53 am
Hello,
As a new transcriptionist, I need to create a simple template for transcribing, one I can use repeatedly,k of course, and I need clear, step-by-step guidance as to how to do that.
The template must have a one inch margin at the top, bottom, and sides. .99 is fine. I want the margins to stay that way and not go away each time I open OO.
The text, which I will be typing, must be right-justified.
I need to number each page at the bottom, in the center, inside the one inch margin, with Arabic numerals, beginning with Page 1,and I would like the numbering to be automatic, if at all possible. I recently went in manually to enter page numbers, and the person reading my transcription said that every page was numbered 8. I don't know how that happened.
Finally, I need to create two macros, one for Interviewer: and one for Interviewee, so that I do not need to type these words over and over again throughout the various interviews I will be typing.
Hagar or another helpful OO person, thanks so much for replying! Please assume I know nothing. I need each step in these instructions spelled out out for me, as I do not navigate comfortably in OO and have never used Word. I have OpenOffice 3 in Windows 7.
Many thanks.
