Note: If you select SmartCase, the capitalization of the AutoText entry changes
depending on the context of the sentence in which it is used. For example, if the word
appears at the beginning of a sentence, it is capitalized automatically.

If you select Specified Case, the capitalization of the AutoText entry appears exactly as
you have typed it in the Replace field.

Note: The locale that you set on this screen sets the locale in which your AutoText entry
is available. It does not change the locale for your handheld. You can change your
default locale in the Options application on the Localization screen.
