Auto Text

Edit > Auto Text (via Letter Writer)

Auto Text functionality allows you to quickly insert bodies of text into a letter using a single keyword or phrase. For example, instead of having to repeatedly type your entire salutation every time you create a new letter, you can program Letter Writer to insert it automatically upon typing a single keyword or phrase, such as 'mysalutation'.

There is no limit to the number of Auto Text entries, or the length of each entry that can be stored in Letter Writer, and you can share the Auto Text entries you create with other users.
