TextMaker's SmartText function can save you a lot of work: You can create SmartText entries for frequently used phrases and then insert them instantly in the text.
For example, create a SmartText entry called "req" with the content "We were delighted to receive your request". You can now retrieve this SmartText entry at any time. To do so, simply type "req" in the text and then press the space bar, Enter↵ or a punctuation mark. The abbreviation "req" will be replaced immediately by "We were delighted to receive your request".
In this way, you can create your personal "computer steno" with TextMaker and save a lot of time when typing.
In this section, you will learn about working with SmartText entries:
| New SmartText entries can be created in a dialog-box-controlled manner with the ribbon command Insert | group Text | SmartText or via the spell check. Each SmartText entry must have a name (for example, "req") and the desired content (for example, "We were delighted to receive your request"). |
| If the option Expand SmartText entries is enabled in the program settings, SmartText entries can be inserted very easily: To do so, type the name of the SmartText entry and then press the space bar, Enter↵ or a punctuation mark. The name will be immediately replaced by the content of the SmartText entry. |
| Alternatively, entries can be inserted manually with the ribbon command Insert | group Text | SmartText. |
| Not only can you create new SmartText entries with the ribbon command Insert | group Text | SmartText, but you can also edit, format, rename or delete existing ones. |
