Topic starter

I have attached a picture of my form and the text translation. The translation can become very lengthy if the doctor fills in each field. Is there a way to have this list in multiple columns instead of one straight column to save paper and scrolling time?

Is there a code that if the field is filled in it will go to column one and if blank skip to the next item?

Please help.

Thanks,

Lisa

you have to separate lines by section..

or modify the text translation to match you required need.

I did something similar to this (it was a ROM form as well) a few months back. I ended up coding the translation to keep everything tabbed in four columns. I had to restrict the entry boxes to only allow for 1-3 characters in them to keep it from messing up the tab spacing. This was a huge hassle and really is hard to accomplish perfectly. Just because of the way that tabbing works.

I hope they can come with something that allows us to use a table structure within VFE and the Chart note. This would help us get away from just tab spacing everything and then having it all look horribly formatted due to someone typing in all capital letter vs someone typing in all lower case letters.

we use a padding function and courier font to accomplish columns.

I have a somewhat clunky approach I use on occassion. I create a text component using Word and insert a table into the text component. Then I take the VFE text translation coding and paste it into the cell in the table where I want it to appear. Then I add a button to the VFE form to load the Text Component after all the fields are completed. You can add programming to the text component to have the text translation evaluated continuously or you can wait until the end to load it. It will put data in nice columns for you. It is not that great if every field on the form is not completed.

I used this method for a few things that needed to be completely filled out, but like you said, it doesn't work for something like ROM where the nurse/physician will only fill out a select few things some times. If only we had the capability to create tables in VFE translation.
