To help you type accurately, the AutoText screen includes rules that automatically correct common typing errors. You can add to or discard rules that come with your device.

To open the AutoText screen, from the Jump screen, press MENU then select Settings > AutoText.

1. If you want the first letter in new sentences to be capitalized automatically, select the Capitalize first letter of sentences check box.
   
   
2. If you want the replacement rules listed on the screen to be in effect, select the Automatic Word Replacement check box.
   
   
3. To discard any of the replacement rules, roll the TRACKBALL to highlight the rule, press MENU then select Discard [ ]. You are prompted to confirm that you really want to remove the rule. Select Discard to remove the rule or Back to keep the rule after all.
   
   
4. To add a new replacement rule, press MENU then select New Rule [ N]. The New Replacement Rule dialog box opens. Type the word or phrase that you commonly misspell in the first text field, then type the correct spelling in the second field. For example:
   
   
   
5. Select DONE to save the replacement rule, or CANCEL if you don't want to save it after all.
   
   
6. To return all AutoText settings to those set when you first received your device, press MENU then select Restore Defaults. You'll be asked to confirm this decision. Note that this action will not remove any custom rules you may have defined.
