Your Blackberry conveniently provides a slew of built-in AutoText entries that you may have already benefited from without even knowing it.
For example, when you type "arent" into a new message, it immediately becomes "aren't." There are 108 built-in entries that provide corrections for common misspellings, add proper punctuation, and provide commonly used text snippets that you're likely to use when you type.

You'll definitely want to add your own custom entries to make shortcuts for text you commonly answers on a Survey. Suppose you often find yourself typing the words " Extremely Satisfied " into the Multi Choice answers option. Here are the steps to create an AutoText entry to simplify that.
You'll find the AutoText feature in the Options section off the Home screen. Once you are in the AutoText program, click the trackwheel once to bring up the menu.
Choose New
Where it states "Replace" write following letters : eses
Where it states "With" write : Extremely Satisfied
The Using field has two options: SmartCase and Specified Case. SmartCase is BlackBerry's term for the feature that changes capitalization depending on the content you're typing in.

The Using field has two options: SmartCase and Specified Case. SmartCase is BlackBerry's term for the feature that changes capitalization depending on the content you're typing in.
This feature is a big time saver when you're typing normal text, but for your custom AutoText entries, you'll probably already know exactly the capitalization you want to appear, so you'll typically choose Specified Case.
The Language field is used to specify which language of the ones installed on your device this AutoText entry should work in.
Click the trackwheel and choose Save.
Now - go back to eSurvey and everytime you write the letters " eses " on any field - it will replace it with the words " Extremely Satisfied "
