  12. I use the personal dictionary replacement feature a lot for inserting
  13. Ventura paragraph tags into text that is to be published with that program.
  14. These are 16 character gobbets of gibbeish that I expect even Paul
  15. Bodin might trip over if typing straight. To avoid conflict with normal
  16. words I begin each tag abbreviation with an upper ASCII character, one of
  17. the ones that NB provides with the Control-Alt combo. In the same spirit,
  18. perhaps one could use Control-Alt-i (which yields i umlaut) as one's
  19. abbreviation for i.e. (with italics). [That was gibberish.]
