Dictating Numbers, Punctuation, and Special Characters
112
You can hyphenate words you just dictated with the command
“Hyphenate That.” Select the words you want to hyphenate
and say “Hyphenate That.” If you say this command when no
words are selected, Dragon will usually hyphenate the last few
words that you said.
Removing hyphens
You can remove a hyphen by selecting it and replacing it with a
space.
To remove a hyphen:
1 Say “Select hyphen.”
2 Say “Space Bar.”
Preventing hyphens
You can prevent Dragon from entering a hyphen by pausing
where the hyphen would normally be.
For example, to type “long lasting” (normally hyphenated) say
“long,” then pause for a moment, and then say “lasting.” Or
you can say “long space bar lasting” without pausing, to insert
a space in place of the hyphen.
Hyphens and dashes in Medical Edition

hyphen between a number and the word French or that you

and Dates tab.
3 Click the check box labeled Insert a hyphen between a number
and the word “French.”
