I work from home and I don't know who else to ask.  I have been typing all morning and suddenly everything went to all caps and i can't turn it off.  Thanks to anyone who has a suggestion.

Subject: caps lock

This happens to me often and at random.  Sometimes if I have my email up at the same time I'm working, if I close it, or exit the web entirely the problem may resolve.  Other times I've exited my word document and the problem resolves...sometimes not.  Sometimes I've had to reboot...sometimes the problem resolves and sometimes not.  It's still a mystery to me.

and a VERY good one that was recommended to me by someone on this board is


www.medicinenet.com and then click on medications.  i also like the way they divide up their alphabet - instead of giving 10 pages of the letter *L*, you can choose *La - Lc* or whatever.

MIC-KEY or Mic-Key gastrostomy button?
Subject: MIC-KEY or Mic-Key gastrostomy button?

I have found it both ways online.  It's not in Stedman's GI words.  Have had this corrected from MIC-KEY to Mic-Key by QA and then I started doing Mic-Key only to have another QA change it back to MIC-KEY.  ????

Advice - 'mickey button'?
Subject: Advice - 'mickey button'?

Just out of curiosity, how do you type 'mickey button'?  As it sounds, as it sounds but capitalized, the apparently patented way of MIC-KEY button (as on the product's website), or yet another way?  I keep seeing this typed all different ways and was wondering if there's some universally preferred method of which I'm not aware.


TIA

Assuming you are working in Word, you can add a button to your toolbar
Subject: Assuming you are working in Word, you can add a button to your toolbar

Go to Tools, at the bottom of the meun there is a customize button, click it. Once you are there open the Command tab.  You will see a list of categories on the left and commands on the right.  Click on the format category and you will see all of the format buttons you can add to your tool bar...  about 1/2 way down you will see the superscript and subscript buttons...  Click on the superscript and drag it to your toolbar.  I usually try to put it with like buttons, like the bold, underline and such.  The button should insert into your toolbar and now when you need to superscript a number you can just click on that button before you type it.  you do have to remember to click the button off after you have typed the superscripted character.


Hope this helps..

Really, it seems as though your panties might be wadded just a bit. Some posters are just looking for extra help, and as a veteran MT I am more than happy to help, particularly new MTs. However, if it irritated me to do so, I would not remain logged on. Try to have yourself a pleasant day!
hep-lock vs med-lock
Subject: hep-lock vs med-lock

Does anyone have a BOS 2 and does it state this? Hep-lock is what is usually dictated but rarely is the patient actually given heparin. I know there is also a term Med-lock but MDs almost always say Hep-lock.  Also, what's the correct spelling, capped, not capped? Thank you.
