-
- INTRODUCTION
- ------------
- Shorthand is a typing productivity tool designed to work concurrently
- with most Microsoft Windows applications. Just as a stenographer
- uses shorthand notation to represent words and phrases, Shorthand
- allows you to represent a string of text with a much shorter
- abbreviation or keyword. Instead of typing the text string,
- you type the shorter keyword and Shorthand takes care of typing
- the text string into your application. For example, you can
- represent the phrase "as soon as possible" with the keyword "asap."
- The next time you need to type the phrase "as soon as possible" into
- your favorite Windows word processor, you simply type "\asap", press
- the Enter key, and Shorthand types "as soon as possible" right into
- your Windows word processor. The leading "\" is a hot key character
- that signals Shorthand that you are about to type a keyword. (You
- can change the hot key character to another character if you wish.)
- Shorthand works with most Windows word processors, text editors and
- even text fields in most Windows dialog boxes. A good illustration
- of the flexibility of Shorthand is the common (and tedious) procedure
- of entering e-mail addresses. With Shorthand, you first enter the
- e-mail address and a unique keyword into Shorthand's dictionary.
- The next time you need to type the address, just activate Shorthand,
- type the keyword and Shorthand will type the address for you!
-
