If you haven’t given much thought to how much you repeat what you type when you are working at your computer – take a look at the work you regularly do. If it’s a link to your social media profile, signatures in your documents, standard terms and conditions, quotations or a whole lot more – think how much time you can save by putting all the regularly typed phrases and sentences on some kind of shortcut.
Whether you call it text automation, snippets, a text expander, shortcuts or auto text – the purpose remains the same. Save yourself time and effort by reducing the amount of repetitive text you time. Build your library of reusable in text in Microsoft Word, Outlook, your Browser Window or your PC. Pick the option that works best for you and you won’t look back!
In video 1 we use QuickParts to set up commonly used words, phrases and signatures in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook
In video 2 we setup the snippets in Chrome using a Browser Extension known as TextBlaze
In video 3 we install aText to a windows or Mac computer to help with automation in your computer.
You may use one of these tools or all three but we are sure that whichever way you choose to go, it will save you lots of time.
