Re: auto text / autocomplete

Hi!

I'm hoping to switch from MS word to ABIword -- for
two big reasons: 1) cleanliness of the program 2) I
can run it off my USB flash drive -- allowing ultimate
portability.

HOWEVER: my big isssue: I use Word a lot in the
hospital, and often must bang out these long
paragraphs that are frankly the same thing over and
over again. MS Word allows me to add custom "auto
text" linked to their autocomplete function -- so that
when I type, for example, fugal -- I can get out an
entire paragraph on fungal infections.

Can I do this in ABIword? I realize that's not exactly
a simple feature, and perhaps not in "keeping" with
the spirit of the program, but any thoughts?

I've tried to come up with work arounds -- i.e. having
a second window open from which I could cut and paste,
but its a pain in the butt!

any plug-ins, works in progress, creative
word-arounds?
 
Thanks

Phil
