What is Quick Insert?
Quick Insert provides a quick way to insert long frequently-used phrases, sentences, or paragraphs without having to type them out each time. You can type a single word or even a single character, then type <Ctrl> to instantly replace the shortcut with the actual text.

Using Quick Insert - Text

In first example, text "Copy" will be converted to "Copyright (c) Namo Interactive Inc." using Quick Insert feature

1. Choose Quick Insert... from Tools menu to open Quick Insert dialog box.

3. In Add Quick Insert dialog box, enter the shortcut that will be used (in combination with <Ctrl>) to trigger the Quick Insert item. Enter "Copy" for this example.

4. Select an item to insert between Text and File. In this example, we select Text and enter "Copyright (c) Namo Interactive Inc." in the provided text box.
You can only enter plain, unformatted text into the Text field. If you want to insert formatted text using Quick Insert, put the formatted text into an HTML file, save the file, then specify the file in the File field (see the next example).
