Adding a Medical Dictionary

Adding a Medical Dictionary
Adding a medical dictionary to the spell check function used by Nightingale Notes within
Firefox. Please note it would be advisable to add this dictionary while entering a new client in
the General Notes section after you have added this client. After completing the task of adding
the medical dictionary it will automatically log you out of Nightingale Notes and thus not saving
the information you have just entered. Also, note that since this is a Firefox application it will
need to be added to all computers you are using to access Nightingale Notes.
