This is so TRUE.
And it would work.
If you could just get the spell checker to review each note for errors
and prompt you to review those for corrections.
Even better is to have a 'switch' that knows you are repairing broken words
and when it finds a mis-spelled word it automatically checks to

I will prepare some info for you to review at your leisure.
It would be great if you could find a way to speed the process of reviewing
so much text in so many different small files.
Thanks for the offer and I will be in touch shortly with further info.

I might have a solution, depending..

Do that for Research and Medical as well as second and third conditions
with OR selected between them.
There's also a selection for Event Notes to search

With that small number I would just create a small report (Like Sherry
mentions) that lists which ones do have notes.
and use that for reference (for the RIN Number) to edit one by one.
I have over 50,000
You could even edit the Notes right from the Search List by bringing the

Hi Priscilla,
Sherry gave a very good answer under 'SOLUTION' below.
Perhaps you have already moved your file to Legacy and now have discovered
the 'broken words' in the notes. If this is the case you can start over
using Sherry's
imported to Legacy then you
can do the same on the main file. That could speed things up a little.
Good luck.
