How does Shorthand work?
You start Shorthand as you would any Windows application. Shorthand waits in the background until you need it. You start your word processor and begin typing normally. Shorthand will automatically replace keywords as you type. If you need to bring up Shorthand, you can simply press a pre-defined hot key (normally F10 unless you changed it) and Shorthand pops up and takes control. You can then specify the text you want Shorthand to type for you by entering a keyword or using the mouse to select the text from a list. If you wish, you may edit the text before Shorthand types it into your word processor.
