<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Inserting SmartText entries

You can now insert the SmartText entry created in the previous section at any time.

This is very simple: Type the name of the SmartText entry in the text – "sd" in our example – and then a space, a punctuation mark or the Enter key↵. Presentations immediately replaces "sd" with the content of the SmartText entry.

Note: If this does not work, the option Expand SmartText entries is disabled. Choose the command File | Options and enable this option again on the Edit tab (or in the dialog box of the command Insert | group Text | SmartText).

Alternatively, you can access the defined SmartText entries via the dialog box by choosing the ribbon command Insert | group Text | SmartText, selecting the desired SmartText entry on the left side of the dialog box, and then pressing the Insert button.

Tip: Do not expand SmartText entries

If you do not want a defined SmartText entry to be inserted when you type in the text, then use the key combination Alt+. (period) in the place directly behind the SmartText entry. In this case, the specified addition is then suppressed.
