how would you type...."grade 1/1 column esophageal varix" - MT2

Posted: Feb 13, 2011

How would you type: "grade 1/1 column esophageal varix" is the slash correct? or should there be a comma: grade 1, 1-column esophageal varix....?

How I would do it - Others may do it differently

I would probably put: grade 1 one-column

But that is because of my accounts. The QAs HATE commas and BOS says not to put two arabic numerals next to each other. You may have to adjust depending on your client preferences.

Others may do it differently.
