Make AutoText Entries for Frequently Used Text

If you use certain words or phrases frequently, you may find it useful to add them to AutoText so you can easily enter them automatically as you type. Once you have added a word or phrase to AutoText, when you type the beginning letters of the word or phrase, an AutoComplete tip will appear on your screen with the word or phrase. To accept, press ENTER. To ignore the suggestion just keep typing.
