On the keyboard type ? and then type the words Fear Dogs after the question mark in the Quick command box that appears when you type ?. When you click OK the program finds all rubrics containing the words fear and dark in all open repertories. To select a rubric from the list, just click on it.

Combining Rubrics

If a rubric has a Cross Reference below it, Ctrl Click on the cross ref and type +1 (an alternative way to “take” a rubric onto the clipboard).  This will take the rubric and the cross ref. into a group, which the program will allocate a letter to, e.g. “a”. If it doesn’t have a cross ref, what I usually do is just Take the symptoms I want onto the Clipboard, then Click on the relevant clipboard.  Select the Symptoms you want to combine with Ctrl click, then Click in the Right mouse button, select “combine rubrics groups”. Choose whether to retain the original rubrics or not, and click OK.

 

 

Saving a Case

Either press ctrl and S simultaneously or go to the file menu and select save a case or right Click on a clipboard and select Save this case. Give your case a name (e.g. johnsmith220902), and Tab over to Case Note, where you can add the remedy name and potency.

 

 

Families

Open the Symptom Clipboard.  Be sure there are rubrics in the clipboard.  Click the Analysis by Families button. The Investigation window for families opens.  To reduce the number of options that appear in the Investigation Window for Families, click Restrict to and select one of the breakdowns in the top of the menu.  The Investigation Window for Families window reappears with the new restrictions. If you wish to identify the remedies that fall within a particular family grouping, double click the family grouping in the investigation window and the Investigation Window for Remedies appears with only those remedies which fit the family grouping of interest. To return to the full listing, click Restrict to, select No Restrictions.
