I press space after typing the letters. When in a form field, I then tap delete to remove the space from the edit field. David Chittenden, MSc, MRCAA Email: dchitten...@gmail.com Mobile: +64 21 2288 288 Sent from my iPhone > On 17 Feb 2016, at 21:51, Caitlyn Furness

Hello, Yes it is a part of OS X and IOS current versions. Not sure how long they’ve been there just look under keyboard preferences in OS x preferences, keyboard and on the text tab. For IOS in Settings, general, keyboard and the text expansion button. Regards, Gena > On 17 Feb 2016, at

Hi all, I'm curious about how others use this feature. It has always seemed very cool to me, but I've never really found a use for it. I would love to hear examples from others of instances where you use text expansion. thanks, Donna > On Feb 17, 2016, at 1:01 AM, Anne Robertson

I have trouble with the text expansion “sticking”. I set up one, for example, to expand into my email address. Lots of times, it just remains as the three letters and doesn’t expand into what it’s supposed to. Have any suggestions? Thanks, Caitlyn > On Feb 16, 2016, at 6:00 PM, Georgina

Hello Gena, Sorry for my bad memory, after entering your string, press Tab rather than VO-Right Arrow. The rest is correct. Cheers, Anne > On 17 Feb 2016, at 08:01, Anne Robertson wrote: > > Hello Gena, > > On the Mac, to add a string and substitution: > • In System

Hi Gina, I use the text expansion built into Mac and iOS and it's a huge time saver. I've got a lot of three-letter abbreviations that result in expansion into very lengthy messages. It's great for inquiries I get regularly, and I like that once I get an expansion added, it's available on all
