Auto-text Setup
Become a power-typist!
Auto text is a quick way to type common text. If you use certain words
or phrases frequently, you may find it useful to add them to AutoText so you can
easily enter them automatically as you type. Once you have added a word or
phrase to AutoText, when you type the complete "auto text" letters/word, they
will be replaced with the word or phrase that was specified.
Auto text is controlled in the User preferences area which can be accessed
via the HM menu > Auto Text option.
