Modifying and Extending Aliases - MapInfo_Pro - 2023

To edit this list, open the SmartTextAliases.xml file (at %APPDATA%\Roaming\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\<mapinfo_pro_version>) into a text editor.

The XML file contains an Alias node for each alias which looks as follows:

<Alias name="alias-name" description="description of the alias">expression</Alias>

For example, the node for the Company alias from the table above appears like this:

<Alias name="Company" description="Company name.">"Your company name"</Alias>

To edit this and see your own company name when you use the Company alias you need to edit the expression and replace it with your own company name in quotes. For example:

<Alias name="Company" description="Company name.">"Precisely"</Alias>

You can add your own aliases or modify one of the existing aliases. You can delete aliases from the file, but if the alias is from the original list it will still be found.
