Brother Geobook Tutorial: How to Create Save and Reload an Abbreviated Phrase

To create, save and reload an Abbreviated Phrase, run the Word Processor as usual.
Click the 'Character' Menu and chose Abbreviated Phrase.
The Abbreviated Phrase window will pop up.
Click the 'Add' button.
Enter the abbreviation you intend to use in the box next to 'Abbreviation:'
Then hit the 'Tab' key and type the full phrase as you want it to appear, then click the 'Apply' button.
Repeat the 'Add' process until you have entered all the abbreviations.
When you are ready to continue Click The 'Close' button.
If you are not going to use these abbreviations again then you are finished.

Just type your document using the abbreviations.
To use them just type your abbreviation followed by 'Ctrl-x' (hit the 'x' key while holding down the 'Ctrl' key in the lower left hand corner of the keyboard).

However if you do plan to use these abbreviations again this next part is the most important.
Click the 'Options' Menu and choose 'Save Configuration'.
Now when you quit and come back your Abbreviated Phrases will still be there.
Now here is the real trick. The first time you try to use abbreviated phrase, it will not work. Don't worry, just Click 'OK' and do Ctrl-x again and it will work.
