Auxiliary List: Phrase List

This feature is a shortcut to adding commonly used phrases to the Special Advice field. Using keywords, phrases may be added instantly without opening the Phrase List. If you don't know the keyword simply open the Phrase List and pick the one you want to add it to the Custom Screen.

To view the Phrase List click on the Phrase List button on the Custom Screen. The vertical scroll bar lets you move up and down the list.

You may add, delete or edit phrases on this list with the corresponding buttons when in Manager Mode.

To insert a phrase from this list to the Special Advice field, select it, and then hit {Enter}.

Inserting Phrases with Key Words

A Keyword is defined a unique word or short phrase that identifies a full phrase in the Phrase List. You assign a keyword as you create the phrase with the Edit command from the Phrase List Display in Manager Mode.

To insert a phrase using the Keyword from the Special Advice field, first type the Keyword and then left-click on the Phrase List button. The cursor must remain adjacent to or within, the keyword before clicking the Phrase List button. Keywords are not case-sensitive.

If the keyword exists in the Phrase List, the entire phrase will replace the keyword in the Special Advice field. If there is no match, the Phrase List will open for you to select the phrase you want to add.

Add/Delete/Edit Phrase List

Turn on Manager Mode and click on the Phrase List from the Custom screen, or select "Setup Menu: Phrase List".

The Exit-Writer program comes with some commonly used phrases as examples to start with. You may modify or delete these by highlighting the desired phrase, and left-click on the Edit or Delete button. To create a new phrase, left-click on the New button.
