Using AutoText in SMS messages
Your handheld’s AutoText feature automatically replaces certain text that you
type with preprogrammed text. By configuring the default AutoText entries and
adding new ones to meet your specific needs, you can use AutoText to
automatically perform the following actions:
• compose frequently used phrases or messages with a few keystrokes
• correct commonly misspelled words
• replace abbreviations and acronyms with complete words
• insert phrases in a message by typing only one keyword
• insert punctuation and symbols in your message without using ALT or the
symbols library
To add a new AutoText entry
You can customize the AutoText database by adding your own entries. For
example, if you frequently ask friends to join you for lunch at noon at a local
restaurant, you can create an AutoText entry that replaces a few keystrokes with
the message “Join me for lunch at Joe’s at noon?”
