The author S. E. Hinton used her initials rather than her given names, when her debut novel The Outsiders was published, so that the male reviewers of her book would not outright dismiss it due to the author being female. This was suggested to Hinton by her publisher. She continued to write under S. E. Hinton because she didn't want to lose the great success she had earned under the name.

What is the use of the auto text feature in MS Word?
AutoText allows to get Word to type in longer pieces of text when you have only type in a few letters. For example, it is possible to set AutoText for your name, where all you would have to do would be to type the initials of your name and Word will then put in your full name. If you type your full name, select it and press Alt F3, a dialog box will come up asking for a name for your Autotext. You could then type your initials and click OK. Then on the page, you could type your initials and press F3 and your initials will be replaced by your full name. In more standard usage, someone can type in an abbreviation or an acronym and have Word put in the full version automatically. Some pieces of AutoText are built in and you can choose from lists for things like the start of end of a letter, so that it might put in "Sincerely Yours" at the end
