Short cut for list punctuation in a drug list? (Fluency) - dnr


Posted: Dec 06, 2014

Is there is quick way to add commas between items in a list? Of course, using Ctl K in front a word will change the punctuation, but it will also change a capitalized drug to lower case, and you will still have to get to the beginning of the next drug which will require 2 Ctl arrows and backspace. Ctl arrow takes you to the beginning of the next word, but you will have to backspace to put in the comma. Adding punctuation to lists is so time consuming!

here is what - I do:

I go to find and replace. In "find" I hit the space bar once. In "replace" I put comma space. Then you put your cursor at the first of your list (like the med list) and start doing find/replace. If there is a med with two words like ferrous sulfate, you just hit find twice. HTH

Thanks! nm - dnr

Then he says, "new paragraph" again and goes on with Axes II thru V.  Should I really skip to the next line even though he's still on Axis I or just make it a new sentence and keep it on the same li ...
