AutoCap Not Capitalizing Abbreviations
My friend is a medical transcriptionist and often uses abbreviations or
shorthand (f/u for follow up, o/w for otherwise, etc). Sentences that begin with one of these abbreviations are not automatically capitalized. A sample excerpt: €śPatient has a throbbing headache. o/w he is feeling well.€ť Shouldnt o/w be capped and appear as O/w? I thought that if we entered these abbreviations into the custom dictionary, Word would recognize them as words and would auto cap them but that is not working. Any suggestions? |
