I have used pages for some time. BUT, I have forgotten how to add to or edit the means whereby I can type tt, for instance, and have the computer change tt to that. Or w to be changed to with. How can I find the file in which I have those shortcuts so that I may add to it or edit the entries?
Mac OS X 10.5.7, Mac OS X (10.5.7)
Which version of Pages? The latest version (Pages 5.0) doesn't have a dedicated autocorrect function anymore, but this can be set up system-wide starting in OS 10.8, I believe. It's accessible in the System Preferences -> Keyboard preference panel (see screenshot below):
Thanks mythmatic!
Sorry, but that didn't work. :-(
I have Pages '09 Version 4.3, and Mac OSX version 10.9
I opened Keyboard as you suggested, and put in the proper entries for <replace and <with.
But when I typed in the replace in a document it did not replace it.
Oddly enough, my old entries still work. I just can't add to, edit them, or view my whole autocorrect file.
Ah, well the good news is that in Pages 4.3, you can set this up within the app itself.
Open preferences through Pages->Preferences, selection the Auto-Correction tab and make sure that "Symbol and text substitution" is checked. Then you can edit substitutions in the table directly below the option (see screenshot).
Bingo!
Thanks tons, mythmatic.
