You can find the text expansion utility by launching System Preferences, which can be found as an icon in the Dock, or by accessing the Apple menu and selecting System Preferences. (Use the Text option in the Keyboard preference pane to create your own custom text expansion items.) You can also use text expansion to add special characters, such as the copyright symbol, by typing a simple shortcut instead of searching through the Character Viewer (another useful utility) to copy/paste the copyright symbol (©) into a document you’re working on. This can be as simple as using the text shortcut “Myem” to automatically expand to become your full email address. Text expansion allows you to define a phrase, abbreviation, or any other collection of easy-to-remember text, and have your Mac expand the text shortcut into a longer phrase. Unbeknownst to many is a simple text expansion capability built into the Mac.
