    i thought i read this somewhere but can't find it again.

    does anyone know how to program shortcut to place : 's after words
    without having to push "alt - k - s" button every single time?

    Sorry if this is a newbie question.

    Go to Options>AutoText, press the BB button>New. Replace (spacebar s) with (%b's). Leave the () out. Now when you type just press spacebar s and it will replace it with 's.

    Is "%b" a backspace shortcut code? Looks to be.

    TIA

    How do I type space in Replace field - between spacebar and s ? It doesn't take spacebar.

    it doesn't seem like you can.
    i did it without the spacebar and it works.

    thank you evaldez!!

    xwera43: yeah %b is backspace. the others are listed in the "insert macro" option when in autotext entry page. For those curious:
    -Short date '%d'
    -Long date '%D'
    -Short time '%t'
    -Long Time '%T'
    -Owner Name '%O'
    -Phone number '%p'
    -Pin '%P'
    -Backspace '%b'
    -Delete '%B'
    -% '%%'

    0xcb: Good point. I was going to try this out and noticed that you cant type spaces in autotext. I guess if they are common words, just add those in there. A lot of common ones are already there (theres - there's, thats - that's)

    The best is "itss" -> "it's"

    You can also enter all the words you commonly use in your autotext list and save them with the 's equivalent words. (its = it's, etc.) then you don't have to use the spacebar key at all to insert the apostrophe.
