[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1560163"] No need. Time Machine (which I would hope you've already set up) takes care of this for you all the time (well, every hour). All you need to get Time Machine going is to plug in an external drive, and the MBP will ask you if you want to use it for Time Machine. If yes, that's it. From then on, every new or changed file is backed up to said drive ever hour if the drive is connected, otherwise it waits until the drive IS connected and backs it up then. For this, you could use the afore-mentioned text shortcuts. While there is a built-in facility for this, I'd suggest you'd be better off using a third-party program so that you can limit the macros to just the web browser. You'd create a "trigger" for the most common vehicle types (say "frx" for Ferrari for example) and registration numbers (if there's a common prefix or group of numbers in your area) to save time typing out the longer combinations, which can still be customized after the macro has been written. You'd know better than I what areas of the report are the most similar and could lend themselves to a macro. [/QUOTE]
