In the Test pad You can quickly test your abbreviations and shortcuts without leaving PhraseExpander
The Test pad allows you to experiment and get used to typing abbreviations and executing phrases inside PhraseExpander. The Test pad works with plain text entries, so if you are typing a formatted entry, its contents will appear with no formatting.
The same phrases can be executed by typing the abbreviation in any application.
