MRI is reviewed confirming the presence of a full-thickness supraspinatus tendon tear with early glenohumeral arthritis. The patient apparently had a long head biceps tendon operation as well, perhaps s/l an or in acoa.

The patient has another orthopaedic surgeon in New York that has done a shoulder procedure (he says this in the HPI) and I can't tell if he's saying "an" or "in" acoa.

MS-Word help. numbered lists
Subject: MS-Word help. numbered lists

Wasn't sure which board to post this on. Will try here. I've just reinstalled MS-Word. Previously, I had it set up to create numbered lists as soon as I typed a number, two spaces, and began typing text. After that, every time I hit ENTER, the list would continue numbering. I've gone to the bullets and numbering menu, and I can get the automatic numbered lists turned on. My problem is that every list is indented, but I want the lists to be flush with the margin. I can right click on the list and select "decrease indent", and that moves everything over, but I'd like to get rid of that step. Previously I had it set up to do all of that automatically. I just can't remember how to set that up now.

I hope I described this problem clearly. If you can help me, I'd really appreciate it!
