Abbreviated Phrases (WP Application) Increasing Your Typing Speed CODE r- rrA The abbreviated phrase function helps you increase your typing speed when you have to type long strings of words ("phrases") frequently. You can store the phrases in the abbreviated phrase memory, along with a short abbreviation (the "name" of the phrase). For instance, you can 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 CODE + A (ABBR). "USA" is replaced with "United States of America." if you type a name that does not exist in the abbreviated phrase memory, and press CODE + A (ABBR), you hear a beep. The abbreviated phrase memory stores a maximum of 30 phrases and names. Each phrase can consist of up to 67 characters, while a name is limited to 8 characters. 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 can 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 Your word processor stores the abbreviated phrase memory 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 need to SAVE this phrase memory onto a diskette. (See Saving the Abbreviated Phrase Memory on page 143.) Later, when you want to use the phrases that are stored on a diskette, you can LOAD the file into the memory of the unit. (See Loading an Abbreviated Phrase File on page 143.) NOTES; • Each diskette can hold only one abbreviated phrase file. Ifyou save an abbreviatedphrase memory onto a diskette that already contains an abbreviatedphrase file, that file will be overwritten by the new abbreviated phrase file. • The memory of the wordprocessor can hold only one abbreviatedphrase memory. If you create an abbreviatedphrase memory, and then load an abbreviated phrase file from a diskette, the abbreviated phrase memory will be overwritten by the loaded file. 140 Grammar Check
