Where is TypeIt4Me 4.0?

Introduced and demoed at Macworld, version 4.0 will ship in early February.

Does TypeIt4Me support Leopard?

Yes, even version 3.1.1 runs fine, but 3.2.4 released last November even adds a component to allow preview of its files using Quick Look.

Does TypeIt4Me work under Classic as well as OS X Leopard and Tiger?

Yes, but you need to install a different version under each system (the latest version for Classic is 4.8.2).

Can I use an abbreviations file created with the Classic version in the OS X version?

Yes, but once the old abbreviations file is converted to the new format it can no longer be used with the Classic version (one way transfer only).

How do I define an abbreviation to display the current date and/or time?

This is explained here.

How do I define keyboard shortcuts to bring up the various TypeIt4Me dialogs?

This is explained here.

I lost my abbreviations file: how do I find it?

Use the Finder's Find to search for items whose extension is .typeit4me:
or under older systems, whose Type is T4ME:
Why does TypeIt4Me lose track of the file containing the abbreviations?

Make sure you store the abbreviations file on the same volume/partition as the startup system volume.

 

Why doesn't Word append the space that triggered the expansion?

You need to turn the Use smart cut and paste option off in Word's Preferences, under Edit

How many different data files can I have?

As many as you care to define and will fit on your disk. Why have many different data files?

Some users like to have different sets of abbreviations for use at different times or in different applications.

How many entries can be added to each file?

There is no specific limit. However, a large number of entries will tend to slow things down a little and bringing up the Edit Clippings... dialog will take a fairly long time.

How long can a clipping be?

Clippings (i.e. the text that is typed when you type an abbreviation and a trigger) can be up to 32,000 characters long.

How long can an clipping name (i.e. the abbreviation) be?

Abbreviations should not exceed 50 characters. Also, if you later want an entry to expand automatically as you type its abbreviation, make sure the abbreviation does not contain any of the trigger characters (as chosen by you via the Preferences… dialog).
