Composing and sending messages Using AutoText
68
Automatically replace abbreviations and acronyms with
complete words.
Automatically enter 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.
2. While composing your message in the To: screen, type the text
hte. The text hte is a default AutoText entry that tells the
handheld to automatically replace the text with the correctly
spelled word the.
3. As soon as you press the
SPACE key, the correct spelling
replaces the error.
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 70 for more
information on creating AutoText entries using macros.
