Hi Eleanor.

If you want to change Dr so it says Doctor and not Drive, you simply change
it so that Dr equals Doctor, make it a whole word, and make it global.

All the best

Steve

On a similar topic if I am sending a text message and write the letters Dr 
for doctor Talks says Drive.  Now I am unsure how to change this but I am 
wondering if it is the same principal as your changing Sa to Saturday etc. 
What has been worrying me is if the word drive is coming out on the text 
instead of Dr for doctor but I think not!

Just another thing to what Georgina was saying, I believe in order to make 
these modifications one has to have talks Premium and not Talks Standard.
