When writing a book I use Auto Correct in Microsft Word to
automatically correct or change long words, I use numbers to
associate the changes for instance if I wanted to use Western
Australia this would be typed as wa1 which had been set up in
AutoCorrect as Replace wa1 with Western Australia.
The document was saved and as more typing commenced the codes dropped
into place, but you could also save this as a template.
After a few lines you remember the codes and if you wish can quickly
list any you use i.e. a1 replaced as Australia.
Anyway that's how I did it, and my 300 page book came out OK. and
saved me lots of extra typing. I usually got all my students to set
up auto correct codes as a single lesson.
Hope this helps.
I have thousands of shortcuts on my system for words. "au" for
example for Australia.
I've made them over the years by going to system
preferences/keyboard/text and added them there.
After the upgrade today, none of them work.
They are all still there in the list, and the box for the spelling
to be corrected automatically is ticked.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Graham Rabe
