You can create SmartText as follows:
For example, to create a SmartText entry called "req" and the content "We were delighted to receive your request", proceed as follows:
| 1. | Choose the ribbon command Insert | group Text | SmartText  . |
| 2. | Click on the New button to create a new SmartText entry. |
| 3. | Give the SmartText entry a name ("req" in our example). |
| The SmartText entry can be retrieved later by its name. |
| 4. | Confirm with OK. You now return to the main dialog box. |
| 5. | Now, type the text for the SmartText entry in the large input field on the right (in our example: "We were delighted to receive your request"). |
| 6. | If you want TextMaker to remember the formatting of the SmartText entry, you must enable the option Apply formatting. You can now use the miniature formatting toolbar above the input field to set the font, text styles and color. |
| 7. | Click on Save to save your new SmartText entry. |
| 8. | Exit the dialog box with Close. |
The SmartText entry has now been created. You will find out how to insert it in the next section (Inserting SmartText entries).
