Menu 6.1: Abbreviation Expansions
Abbreviation expansions help speed your communication process by making
it unnecessary to type out frequently used words, names and phrases. The
Abbreviation Expansions
menu allows you to specify abbreviations which,
when typed into the Message Window and followed by a space, will be
automatically expanded by the DynaWrite software into full words or
phrases. This menu also contains options for editing and deleting existing
abbreviation expansions.
As the Abbreviations Expansions menu can also be accessed through the
Tools menu, this menu entry can also be found under Menu 1.4:
Abbreviation Expansions .
Note: Before you can use the abbreviation expansion feature, you
must activate it in the
Rate Enhancement Controls menu. To do
this, open the menu and then select the Abbreviation Expansion
check box (Alt + E) in the Prediction settings group box.
Tip: For more information on creating, editing and deleting
abbreviation expansions, refer to the
