Subject: Inclusive versus exclusive lists
I want to make sure I am correct in how I am transcribing this one doc I have. He is always saying "He denies cough, congestion, exertional pain, fever, chills OR sweats, weight loss OR hemoptysis." I've been using "and" between these symptoms as the patient is denying all of them. "He denies fever, cough AND congestion." As opposed to "He has no cough, fever, OR chills. Is this correct? This is driving me crazy. Thanks very much.

We have a division on our department. Some say to number the assessment list with a 1. even if there are no other assessments. Others say if there are more than one we, number, but if there is only one, it is not a list and you do not put in 1. Whats the deal folks???

MS-Word help. numbered lists
Subject: MS-Word help. numbered lists
Wasn't sure which board to post this on. Will try here. I've just reinstalled MS-Word. Previously, I had it set up to create numbered lists as soon as I typed a number, two spaces, and began typing text. After that, every time I hit ENTER, the list would continue numbering. I've gone to the bullets and numbering menu, and I can get the automatic numbered lists turned on. My problem is that every list is indented, but I want the lists to be flush with the margin. I can right click on the list and select "decrease indent", and that moves everything over, but I'd like to get rid of that step. Previously I had it set up to do all of that automatically. I just can't remember how to set that up now.
I hope I described this problem clearly. If you can help me, I'd really appreciate it!

lay versus lie
Subject: lay versus lie
Use "lied down" for self, but "layed down" when putting something down. "Lied" takes no object in the sentence, but "layed" takes an object, like "layed a book down". Got this from an English grammar discussion group.

Have worked on 3 accounts that want it changed. Only one account wanted it to be typed cc as dictated. Think it is per account specific requirements. Most want mL.
was versus were

I believe "was" is correct in this case, as it also would be for medication dosages, i.e., 10 mg was given.

As QA staff, I would not correct that. It's okay either way...unlikely the client would notice/care about something so minute as that. QA sometimes gets narrowed thinking, so much detail work. Have to see/QA outside the box. 
2x versus x2?

Not sure of the BOS stance on this, but QA has told me that x2 is acceptable but 2x is not. I would think they would basically be the same, but had my hand slapped for typing 2x.
