8. Exit the dialog by clicking on the Close button.
The SmartText entry has now been created. In the next section (“Inserting Smart-
Text entries”) you will learn how to use your new SmartText entry.
B) Using the background spell checker
If you have activated the background spell checker, SmartText entries can alternatively
be created as follows:
1. Make sure that the Use background spell checking option on the Language
property sheet in the Tools > Options dialog box is checked.
2. Type “sd” and press the space bar.
3. TextMaker now underlines “sd” in red, since it is an unknown word. Click on
this word with the right mouse button to open the context menu.
4. Select the Create SmartText Entry command from the context menu.
5. Type “sales department”.
6. Confirm with OK.
The result is the same: the SmartText entry “sd” has now been created.
If you want to learn more about the background spell checker, see section
“Background spell checking” beginning on page 304.
Inserting SmartText entries
Once you define a SmartText entry, you can use it anytime as you compose your
documents.
Type the name of the SmartText entry (“sd” in our example) in the text, and then
press the space bar, the Enter key (¢) or a punctuation character. TextMaker
immediately replaces “sd” with the content of the SmartText entry, in our example,
“sales department”.
Note: If this does not work, the Expand SmartText entries option might be
disabled. If so, invoke the command Tools > Options, switch to the Language
property sheet, and turn on this option.
