No one has come across that problem so far !

Right-O Mrs. Graham Chiu.

I like this paradigm better.  I'd prefer to "punch out" all the macro text I want to document into the consult window.  This might consist of many different "macros".  I might have a disease macro, a management macro, a patient-specific HMG macro, a lab macro, a whatever-the-hell-I-want macro" and I want the text to appear in the consult window.

I then want to highlight it all and blast through with the Text Replacing.

VERY COOL.

This would also allow me to more easily do multiple-macro visits.  This would also be more fluid, as I could go back and forth from the consult to the text-replacing window.  Plus I could do some clicking while talking to a patient ... save [ie. Accept it] and then go back later and finish the rest !  (huge bonus).  This functionality would also work well for my nurse doing a certain amount of stuff ... etc.    Maybe I could even look at my schedule for the day ... and start notes on patients ... and then get the nurse to complete the macros I laid out for her.

Time to make the peppy Text Replacing even peppier.

Of Note: picking a different macro after starting text replacing of another macro breaks the text replacement.  Another break is that you can't go back to the top of the text and "restart" any text replacing you skipped.

I want to keep the macro select window as it is also the way to modify the macros.

However, I can utilize the spare space on the tabs so it looks like [Frequent][All][Replace]

So, you can insert multiple macros into the consult window, then flick to the [Replace] to start replacing all the text.

Try R207B2  ... but I'm not sure I would want to go thru large amonts of text replacing like this.  Short blocks of text .. yes.

I like the better placement of the Frequent Tab. 

I tried the Replace Tab ... how is it supposed to work ?  :)

Q: is the Replace Tab supposed to be where the Macro Text goes to first before you click on the

Wait.  I figured it out.

It's great.  "In line" (vs. macro popup) text replacing.  It's great !  Never mind the bulky macro popup. 

Why prey tell don't you love this.

Since this will open up the possibility of "doing" one macro ... then selecting another ... and doing it ... we need for when the macro hunter finds no more macros to replace (ie. the end) .. it needs to blank itself.  Since my last macro in my pharyngitis template is *viral* ... it ends with that.

So when I add another macro, ie. UTI ... hitting [Replace Text] doesn't work for the second macro.

I love this Macro Text.

Please explain what doesn't work ...

Select a macro ... it goes to the Macro Window .. click Accept, use the Replace Tab to do the "In Consult" text replacement.  Text Replacing is finished.  Select another macro .... it goes to the Macro Window .. click Accept, hit Replace Text .. nothing happens (it is also showing the replacement text from then end of the first macro.

 Ok, I now see it.

Let me ponder ...

I suppose blanking the *viral* and the possible selections where there is no more to replace is a good place to start.

Try R207B3 client ...

That works.  Don't like the [Reset] button though.  Can't you just blank the selections when the macro finder finds no more ?  [Reset] should also blank the word to be replaced box  (ie.  *some* ).

There are some weird highlighting problems when the macro text to be replaced is not on the consult window *WITHOUT* a scrollbar.

To test this ... keep using your same macro. and when it finally goes over the page ... you'll see.

 

Things like:

The highlighted word doesn't show .. but if you move the scrollbar up and down it appears ... etc.
