i want the ability to create a word or phrase and save it?

Question

i hope i can explain what I mean. at my work, I use a mac. it has a feature called textpander. which means I can create a word or phrase, name it and save it in the textpander and when I need that word or phrase, I just have to type in the name:

for example, if I want to enter "have a good summer" in every email, I type it out in full, enter it in the textpander, name it - for example 'hgs' and whenever I type 'hgs', -  the words "have a good summer" appear.

i love it. it saves typing. anyway what i want to know is: does windows have anything like that? if so, what is it called, how does it work, where can i find it and baby steps please on how to use it. 
thnx. i do appreciate you taking the time to read this.

Each app choice has its own "How to use it" file, usually called "Help". Them's the babe steps.
