Use AutoText
AutoText automatically replaces text that you type
with the appropriate AutoText entry. Use AutoText
to correct spelling and to replace abbreviations
with complete words.
Your handheld has built-in AutoText entries that
correct common mistakes. For example, AutoText
changes "hte" to "the".
You create AutoText entries for your common
typing mistakes or for abbreviations. For example,
you might create an AutoText entry that replaces
"ttyl" with "talk to you later".
To use AutoText, type an AutoText entry. Press the
