The SmartText function in Presentations 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 "sd" with the content "sales department". You can now retrieve this SmartText entry at any time: To do so, simply type "sd" in the text and then press the space bar, the Enter key↵ or a punctuation mark. "Sales department" immediately replaces "sd".
In this way, you can create your personal "computer steno" with Presentations 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. A name (for example, "sd") and the desired content must be specified (for example, "sales department") for each text module. |
| 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 key↵ 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, rename or delete existing ones. |
