Ok, I understand that this may not work for everyone, but here's what I am doing since I don't have a lot of time to devote to researching drugs and dosages. I keep a Word document called "Meds" open and minimized. When I finish a pretty good list of meds with dosages in a report I spell check it and cut and paste it into this document, then when I get the time I just add some from the list I have going. It's coming along.... Just an idea.

Hey, that is a nice idea. In fact, a darn good one, I think. Whether your report lists them in list form or paragraph form, that's a great way to have them handy to add later on. Quick, too. Thanks a lot for the tip, flybabyMT! It was good of you to share!

I've liked this idea more and more as I think about it. And you know what, if you use InstantText, you could do the same, that is, highlight your desired text, and just switch over to the Editor with Alt + / and copy it in there for later.

And it sort of reminds me of Enrich, too. It's not far from the Enrich concept. This is where you copy your desired text, right click on your glossary, choose Enrich, and watch it make a new glossary for you that is available immediately. But I don't see an edit option if you want to change the short forms it gives. Hmm. I have to ask about this.

Anyway, it's just really a good idea. Thanks again.

......I do something similar to Flybabymt. I have a document named "Add to SH" that I keep open and this is where I put the lists of medications, general words and phrases, etc. to add to SH. When I am proofing a report, if I come across something that strikes me I copy and paste it in my document to add to SH later, and if I need it again before I get the chance to add it I can find it easily.

I used to keep a list to add, but found it took more time than I wanted to spend just adding things (and it got boring), so now I "add as I go". In shorthand, I can add in 2 ways - for a single word, hit ctrl+ins immediately after typing the word and then clean up the abbreviation portion, or if a phrase, etc., highlight the text, hit ctrl+insert twice, clean up the abbreviation, tab to the last part of the phrase and remove the extra space and return so it does not put those in when expanding.
