Using AutoCorrect

Inserting comments by using the AutoCorrect shortcuts.

Many comments will be recurring, and the easiest way to store and insert them is to use the AutoCorrect utility to store your most frequently used comments with simple shortcuts.

The method we recommend is to use a shortcut starting with a period (".") and then any combination of letters that is easy to remember (the fewer the better). After you have entered this code in the AutoCorrect dialog box with the associated comment, whenever you type it into the Comments window the comment will automatically be inserted.

Figure 2 shows comments listed in the AutoCorrect dialog box. Type or paste in the comment into the Comment Window.

All you need do to enter your comments is to type the autocorrect shortcuts. So in the example shown above, typing ".a" will be automatically replaced by the associated comment "You need an article here".
