Help: Saving and Printing Snippets

Saving Snippets

Make local copy of group <group name>

Snippet Groups from External Files and from URLs are not editable. If you'd prefer to edit those snippets, you can select "Make local copy of group <group name>" to make a new local group with the same contents but editable. The new local group will no longer update from its original source, though it can be synchronized via MobileMe.

Save a copy of group <group name>...
It's always a good idea to back up your snippets. Select a group, then select "Save a copy of group <group name>..." to back up a group. Select Add Group from File... to restore a saved group.

 

Printing Snippets

As your snippet groups grow, it can be helpful to print out a list of abbreviations and snippets. Printing can be accessed via the Tool menu cog icontool menu cog (located beneath the snippet list).

Print a Single Group

  • Select the group.
  • Select "Print group <group name>…" from the tool menu

Print All Groups

  • Select "Print all groups…" from the tool menu
