AutoCorrect & Text expansion

AutoCorrect allows TOTAL to automatically replace misspelled words as you make your way through your report. The replacement words are stored in a user-defined dictionary — allowing you to add or remove entries to fit your needs. From here, you can also create text expansion entries to type a report even faster. Instead of writing full words or phrases you type in shorthand and TOTAL fills in the rest.
