@Al If you do a full backup of the first device then do an advanced restore from that backup to the second device you should be able to select just the Auto Text and have it restored on the new device.

I have 900 additions to the auto edit function and it’s great. However, I recently migrated to a new server client and had my bb wiped clean. I did a back up and the bb software will not allow me to just replace the auto edit additions..I need to replace everything. Is there a way of not backing up everything, only the auto edit from the software backup?

My partner is 3 weeks from having our second baby girl and we will be texting her name to everyone involved. The name is our only secret and therefore I can’t tell you what it is, sorry. The only problem is when I type it in autotext it doesn’t work on sms. The name includes an ‘e’ with two little dots above it, a diaeresis. The autotext works on email but not on text. If anyone knows how to fix this problem it will be greatly appreciated and I will come back and tell you all what her name is. Best regards Mike.

@Brett Using Desktop Manager you can use a function called “Switch Device”. Perform a full backup and then do an “advanced restore”. You should see a specific option for restoring the AutoText files.

@Adam L – So autotext just doesn’t work for you when composing a sms message?

I think that Auto Text is one of the most powerful functions of the BB. I have found shortcuts for almost everything I type.

evt, evo, evb for everthing, everyone, everybody
t for “the”, n for “and”, d to put in a dash (-). Tks is thanks, tku is thank you. Then we have the “ouds”; would, should, could. I use “wo”, “sho” and “co”. My favorite is “uve” for “you’ve” and “ure” for “you’re”. For signature, I programmed “sigw” for my Word singature and “sigp” for my personal signature. The possiblilites are endless. However, I lost them all when I switched devices for some reason. I wish I could export the auto text entries to a file for later importing them; or even sharing them with others.
