I am by no means telling you not to leave a blank, it all depends on your company. I have always been told if you know that is what the doctor means, especially if it is verified later in the report, then you may put what you know is correct. I hate, hate, hate to leave blanks when I know what it is. If you can, ask QA for verification if nothing else. Sorry couldn't be more helpful!

answer to your question. The only thing I could find about NOL was in the Stedman's abbreviations book which listed NOL as "not on label." I'm wondering if that could mean investigational drugs not yet available to the public. I don't know what else "not on label" could mean. Hopefully someone else does. At least he spells it!! :)
Sorry!

answer this for you, but here we go. Under tools, go to autocorrect options. In that window, there should be a button called *exceptions*. Click on that. This will open another window. Down at the bottom, there should be a check box with the words *automatically add words to list*. If it is checked, uncheck it. Above that is an open area with the words *Don't capitalize after*... if there are any words in this open area, like your words of well, site, knee, that, health, delete them one by one by highlighting and pressing the delete button next to it. On the top of this window, there should be two other tabs labeled Initial Caps and Other Corrections. go to each tab and do the same thing by unchecking the *automatically add words to list* box and deleting any words that may be in the open area. When finished, click OKAY. close the window. click okay on the autocorrect options window, and that should take care of those words not being capitalized any longer. You may have to do this every time you do a disc clean up, though and delete cookies, etc. As far as the numbers go, I am not exactly sure there is a solution to that problem. if you have any questions, feel free to email me. ks
