thank you Bert.
I think I am a little closer.
my issue is that I would order the labs from the 'lab tab'; for example I would order 'lead' and 'CBC'.
The order would initially print with both items on the order sheet.
But, the order reconciliation window, would print only one item at a time.
so it would print a single page for the 'CBC', and I would need to highlight the 'lead' to print an order for the 'lead'.
It would not automatically print both at the same time.
My thought is to create a template in the other tab.
OK, now I need help to do an order from the 'other tab using a template.
I tried an order on a pretend patient.
the order I chose from the template was
'cbc
lead'
I clicked to move this 'to the chart'
I clicked the 'add' button
it showed up as a 'custom order'.
I clicked the print and everything was ok, except that neither the cbc, nor the lead was listed in the printout.
I must be missing something simple here, and help would be appreciated.
