Using AutoText to compose a mes-
sage
The Proton’s AutoText function automatically replaces text you
type with pre-programmed text. You can increase how quickly you
compose messages by using AutoText. By configuring the AutoText
entries and adding new ones for your specific needs, you can use
AutoText to:
• Automatically correct commonly misspelled words.
• Automatically replace abbreviations and acronyms with com-
plete words.
• Automatically enter commonly-used strings of words into a
message by typing only one keyword.
• Automatically insert punctuation and symbols into your mes-
sage without using the
ALT
key or symbols library.
Note
You can also change the message options from the
6DYHG
0HVVDJH V
screen.
Note
There are several shortcuts built into the AutoText function
for inserting marcos into messages. These shortcuts
include inserting the time, date, etc. See page 112 for more
information.
