Using AutoText
The handheld’s AutoText function automatically replaces text you
type with pre-programmed text. You can increase how quickly you
compose messages by using AutoText. By configuring the default
AutoText entries and adding new ones for your specific needs, you
can use AutoText to:
•
Automatically correct commonly misspelled words.
•
Automatically replace abbreviations and acronyms with
complete words.
•
Automatically insert commonly-used strings of words into a
message by typing only one keyword.
•
Automatically insert punctuation and symbols into your
message without using the
ALT
key or symbols library.
How AutoText works
1.
In the Home screen, scroll to the COMPOSE icon and click.
Note
There are several shortcuts built into the AutoText function
for inserting macros into messages. These shortcuts
include inserting the time, date, etc. See page 56 for more
information on the AutoText macros.
