Hi All,
Word is pretty universal - and while I may not enjoy enriching Bill Gates, it *IS* an industry standard, and *does* indeed accomlish its primary goal - quite well (and requires just a one time investment if you don't already have it, most do)
For us non-primary care specialists our outgoing consultation letters are our work product - they are vital to our practice.
That letters are printed in HTML, largly unalterable, in a fixed font, without the ability to customize the page layout, margins, etc is a major shortcomming of this progam - enough to have me discourage other specialists from considering it.
Amazing Charts may have started small, and cheap, and at a time when quirks were permissible. But times are now different - there are government encouragements to go electronic, and a potentially greater market - Amazing Charts should seize the opportunity to graduate from small, quirky and cheap, to Inexpensive and Elegant
(I recently started a thread on the idea of a voluntary program where users could make a single voluntary contribution to AC specifically toallow it to underwrite the improvement(s) of their choice.
