World Health Organization (WHO) Style Guide

If you work with the WHO's style guide, import the attached style sheet into PerfectIt. The style sheet is free to download and will automatically find and correct over 1600 entries from the WHO's style guide. The list is compiled from Chapter 5 of the WHO's style guide which is available here:
http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/2004/WHO_IMD_PUB_04.1.pdf

Many thanks to expert science editor, Hilary Cadman (http://www.cadmanediting.com), for putting together this list. Her knowledge of medical editing issues is simply astounding. Although we worked together to speed up the process of getting this information into PerfectIt's format, the credit for preparing the list itself belongs entirely to her.

Note: A number of amendments were made to the original list on 7 August 2010. The revised file is attached.
