To strikethru a treatment note, click one of the two strikethru buttons. One button is to strike an entire note and the other is to strike only selected text from the current treatment note. These buttons are only active if the current treatment note has been locked. Locked notes display a lock icon. If the note has not yet been locked you cannot strikeout the note. However, unlocked notes are still eligible to be modified, added to, or completely deleted from the record.

Strikethru Entire Note
To strikethrough an entire treatment note, click this button. The entire note will have a line through it and will only be visible if the Show Strikethru button is pressed.

Strikethru Selected Text
You do have the option to strikeout only a section of text from a treatment note if you wish. To do this, mark the text you wish to strike. Put your mouse at the beginning of the text and drag it to the end. This is called “selecting” text and will appear dark like this. With the text you want to strike selected, click the Strikethru Selected Text button. The text you marked will be removed from the message. It will be replaced with a number in curly braces such as {23}. This number will be the reference number for the text portion that has been struck. The text that has been struck is not gone. It will be entered as its own separate message but will begin with the curly braces with the reference number. Look at the following example:

Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow. Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go.

The selected text is “whose fleece was white as snow”. We will now strikethrough the selected text and the note will become two notes as seen here:

Mary had a little lamb {23}. Everywhere that Mary went the lamb was sure to go.
{23}whose fleece was white as snow

Where the marked text used to be, you now see the curly braces with a reference number. A new note has been added that starts with {reference number} and contains the stricken text. This line has the strikethrough line going through it. Only this part of the note has been struck.
