Symbols & Auto Correction
Two of our favorite (but easily overlooked) features can be used together.

Auto correction allows you to set up shortcuts to words and phrases (so for example PGD could automatically expand to Photo & Graphic Designer when you type it), but you can also use it for symbols from the Font Awesome and (if you have a 365 version) Google Material Designs collection eg typing euro could expand to €.

You can open the Auto Correction dialog by clicking the ABC icon on the Text Tool InfoBar, and then open the Symbol Library by clicking the Pick Symbol button - and if you own 365 there's a search field in Symbol Library to make it easy to choose from the 1500+ symbols!
