Enabling and disabling automatic punctuation
Natural Punctuation is turned on by default.
There are two ways of turning Natural Punctuation on and off:
■ Select Formatting from the To ols menu of the DragonBar and
click Automatically add commas and periods. In the Medical
edition, this check box is under the General tab of the
Formatting dialog box.
■ By saying “autopunctuation on” and “autopunctuation off.”
Turning Natural Punctuation on and off by voice sets the
option above in the Formatting dialog box. If you disable
Natural Punctuation by voice, it stays disabled until you
enable it again.
