AquilaCRS is equipped with an AutoCorrect system that primarily automatically corrects common spelling mistakes. This system can also be utilised to provide a text-shortcut, or abbreviation method.


When an abbreviation is stored in the application, you can simply type the abbreviation in any text field and the AutoCorrect system will replace it with the full text version.

To add a text shortcut click on the "Tools" icon on the Menu Bar.
