Keyboard Shortcut

Hi All

This is a nice simple one!

Recently switched from a Win10 desktop to a Win11 very similar machine - yes, I know, antediluvian, but so am I!

I transferred a large Excel spreadsheet from the old machine to the new and in so doing lost a small shortcut function that I simply cannot remember how I installed originally.  

On the old machine on each row I would type "Re" in a cell and press the space bar once, and the word Remittance appeared in the same cell. Sounds trivial, but there are lots of rows!

Can someone please remind an old codger how to set this up.

Many thanks and best regards.

Jimbo

 

  • That was probably AutoCorrect.

    Select File > Options > Proofing, and click AutoCorrect Options...

    Enter Re in the Replace: box and Remittance in the With: box.

    Click Add, then click OK.

    Thank you Hans. That did the trick very nicely.
