In addition, personalized AutoText/AutoCorrect entries can be created. This feature is useful if using the same large or complex item to avoid reinserting or retyping information or to store text that contains a particular style or format. For example, if a student needs a header with the current date, an AutoText entry can be created that will enter this information as required.
