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.
