Using text ShortCuts

ShortCuts make entering commonly used words or phrases quick and
easy. ShortCuts are similar to the Glossary or Autotext features of some
word processors.

Your phone comes with several predefined ShortCuts, and you can also
create your own. Each ShortCut can represent up to 45 characters. For
example, you might create a ShortCut for your name, or for the header of
a memo. See the section that begins on page 213 to learn about creating
your own ShortCuts.

Your phone includes the following predefined ShortCuts:
