Chapter 6: Revising Text
Using Direct Editing commands
Use Dragon Direct Editing (formerly called Quick Voice Formatting)
commands to do routine tasks faster by voice.
In previous versions of Dragon, deleting, cutting, copying, italicizing,
underlining, and applying bold to text were two-step operations: you had to
select the text before you could change it. Now you can perform these actions
in one step.

Note
For commands that name a range of text, such as "bold <text> through
<text>," Dragon expects to hear "to" or "through" depending on the region
you selected when you created your User Profile. Use "through" in the United
States and Canada, and use "to" in all other regions.
