G'day! Thanks for returning!
I have just downloaded and re-installed ActiveWords onto my office desktop, after installing it onto my laptop.
I purchased ActiveWords a couple of years ago, but for some bizarre reason never really got the hang of it fully and so when I formatted the hard drive to clean it up, didn’t think to reinstall it.
What a fool was I!
A video by affiliate marketer par excellence Rosalind Gardner about her favourite application and productivity tool reminded me that I hadn’t used ActiveWords in yonks.
Her idea of prefixing her shortcuts with ‘/’ was brilliant, and helped me create some great on-the-fly shortcuts for tweeting material at the Affili@SYD conference.
Her software tool (can’t remember what it is) works like ‘auto-correct’ in Office products, but across all applications – and I’ve just read the help file to figure out how to do it in ActiveWords – cool; that was the ‘missing ingredient’ that probably stopped me from taking full advantage of it before – amazing what happens when you read the ‘how to use this software’ file, hey?!
Anyway, I’ve downloaded and reinstalled ActiveWords onto my office pc and have fallen in love all over again 
p.s. Have a look at an earlier post of mine with some cool productivity tips.

I agree, Autotext rocks. It saves me so much time.
There are quite a few software utilies out there for that purpose.
AutoHotkey is opensource and free but kinda nerdy. Pretty steep learning curve. Then there is DirectAccept v2 but it crashed a lot and certainly needs a major rework to make it a professional app.
My personal favorite is Phrase Express. It is free for home use and is easy to work with.
The video presentation gives a nice overview: http://www.phraseexpress.com/demo.htm
