Abbreviations


How do I create abbreviations? For example, I would like to type in ‘MC’ and have it say “Minor’s Counsel.” “OPC” to convert to Opposing Counsel and so on.

Hi Clifton,

This is an interesting question, I too like to shortcut things to speed up my day, I personally use an application called AutoHotKeys for various shortcuts / copy and pasting scripts, but there is a Word feature that may help with your abbreviations. I recorded a short video which explains it, but it’s called AutoCorrect options in Word.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing this one @Sam Bain, I’m going to give AutoHotkeys a try!

I use TextExpander. I like it because I can use it in every software (even inside Smokeball).
