Not that difficult, if you know the trick ;-)

- place the character in a document and select it;
- open Tools|Autocorrect > Replace;
- type (P) in the Replace box;
- hit New and OK ...;
that's it..


Well, that's what I did and it didn't work. However, now that I tried it,
it actually works! What on earth did I do wrong the first time?

*I few thoughts about it*:
I think my procedure could have been somewhat different. I might have done
it this way:

- place the character in a document and select it;
- Ctrl+c;
- open Tools|Autocorrect > Replace;
- type (P) in the Replace box;
- type Ctrl+v in the With box;
- hit New and OK ...;

The reason why I did it that way was that I had some problems earlier when I
did it "your" way. My problem was that my entries seemed to be "forgotten",
they just disappeared from the list. Obviously I did something else wrong.
Maybe I didn't set the language right. This (P) character is now in the
[All] list, rather than in a list for a specific language, so maybe this is
why it all works now.

Thanks!

Johnny Andersson
