One other thing I've found when converting from WP12 to Word---all of my bolding disappears! What can I do to prevent that? I never had that problem before on my old computer when converting from 6.1, but now that I have a new computer and WP12 it's happening every time!

I've always been told to type it "BI-RADS" but since it stands for "Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System," I don't see any reason why there should be a dash, and if you Google it there are a lot of sites that do not use the dash.

Gray bad?
Just wondering, has the rule changed in that gray must by abbreviated to Gy? Nothing in the BOS2. Nothing in CP. Account is verbatum. Doc says clearly gray, and since I have been typing him for 3 years, it has never been changed. QA had changed gray to Gy in an otherwise flawless report that I don't know why was sent to QA to begin with (this dictator isn't under 100% review and neither am I). Am I missing something, or is this QA on a power trip. I love QA and they do wonderful stuff, but, there are some who...well...may need to remove their heads from their bum.
