Formatting
ou can bold text, change font sizes and styles, capitalize
text, and apply other formatting by voice.
Many Dragon NaturallySpeaking or Dragon Medical
formatting commands work for text that is selected (highlighted)
in your document. To select text by voice, say “Select” plus the
words you want to select. See Selecting text by voice on page 71
for information.
You can change the formatting properties of a word (such as
whether Dragon should type a space before or after the word, or
whether the word is capitalized in a title) by using the Word
Properties dialog box. See the online help for more information.
Capitalizing text
Capitalizing first letter of next word you dictate
Dragon capitalizes many words automatically, such as the first
word in a sentence (following a period, question mark, or
exclamation mark). It capitalizes the first word after you say
“New Paragraph” (not when you say “New Line”) and it
capitalizes proper names (when these words are already in the
Dragon vocabulary in capitalized form).
Types of commands
Most of the commands listed in this chapter are global—they are
available in virtually every application. In addition to the global
commands listed here, Dragon includes many commands for
editing and formatting that work in common applications. For
more information on finding these commands see the online
help.
