CODE

The

abbreviated

phrase

function

is

provided

to

help

you

increase

your

typing

speed

when

you

have

to

frequently

type

long

strings

of

words

("phrases").

You

may

store

the

phrases

in

the

abbreviated

phrase

memory,

along

with

a

short

abbreviation

(the

"name"

of

the

phrase).

For

instance,

you

may

store

the

phrase

"United

States

of

America"

together

with

the

name

"USA".

Once

this

has

been

done,

all

you

have

to

do

to

enter

"United

States

of

America"

in

your

document

is

to

type

"USA"

and

press

(M).

"USA"

will

automatically

be

replaced

with

"United

States

of

America".

If

you

type

a

name

that

does

not

exist

in

the

abbreviated

phrase

memory,

and

press

+

(m),

you

will

hear

a

beep.

The

abbreviated

phrase

memory

can

store

a

maximum

of

30

phrases

and

names.

Each

phrase

can

consist

of

up

to

67

characters,

while

a

name

is

limited

to

8

char-

acters.

The

total

amount

of

data

in

the

abbreviated

phrase

memory

may

not

exceed

1,000

characters.

The

abbreviated

phrase

memory

can

be

saved

on

diskette

and,

of

course,

retrieved

from

the

diskette.

You

may

create

as

many

abbreviated

phrase

files

as

you

want,

but

you

may

have

only

one

abbreviated

phrase

file

on

a

diskette.

Understanding

the

Abbreviated

Phrase

Memory

The

abbreviated

phrase

memory

is

stored

in

the

word

processor

for

as

long

as

the

unit

remains

on.

If

you

have

created

phrases

and

would

like

to

use

these

phrases

in

other

files

you

will

be

creating

later

on,

you

will

need

to

SAVE

this

phrase

memory

onto

a

diskette.

(See

"Saving

the

Abbreviated

Phrase

Memory"

on

page

133.)

Later,

when

you

want

to

use

the

phrases

that

are

stored

on

a

dis-

kette,

you

may

LOAD

the

file

into

the

memory

of

the

unit.

(See

"Loading

an

Abbre-

viated

Phrase

File"

on

page

133.)

NOTES:

•

Each

diskette

can

hold

only

one

abbreviated

phrase

file.

If

you

save

an

abbreviated

phrase

memory

onto

a

diskette

that

already

contains

an

abbrevi-

ated

phrase

file,

that

file

will

be

overwritten

by

the

new

abbreviated

phrase

file.

•

The

memory

of

the

word

processor

can

hold

only

one

abbreviated

phrase

memory.

If

you

create

an

abbreviated

phrase

memory,

and

then

load

an

abbreviated

phrase

file

from

a

diskette,

the

abbreviated

phrase

memory

will

be

overwritten

by

the

loaded

file.
