Thanks, Terry. The "boot" was a typo on my part; the outline had bool. I was trying to use the abbreviation immediately after entering it in my outline. But after starting Leo this morning, I noticed that "Abbreviations are on" and the abbreviation worked perfectly! Is a Leo restart required, or should I have run a command to cause the new abbreviation(s) to be recognized? Thanks again. BobS
