Editing text
Use the commands in the following table to quickly revise text using Direct
Editing.
To... Say...
Cut the specified text or a range of
text.
Cut <text>
Cut from <text> to <text>
Cut <text> through <text>
Note: The Cut voice command is turned off by default to keep the word
"cut" available for regular dictation. To enable using "Cut" as a command,
change the Enable Cut shortcut command setting in the Options dialog box
Commands tab and then Exit and Restart Dragon.
Copy the specified text or a range of
text.
Copy <text>
Copy from <text> to <text>
Copy <text> through <text>
Delete the specified text or a range
of text.
Delete <text>
Delete from <text> to <text>
Delete <text> through <text>
Handling multiple text matches
Use the commands in this topic when Dragon finds multiple instances of a word
or phrase in the part of your document currently showing on screen. Dragon
displays a number next to each instance, so that you can choose the one you
had in mind for the command. This feature also lets you save time by applying
the command to all instances at once if doing so makes sense for that particular
command.
Note
n If you prefer that Dragon change only the instance of a word or phrase
nearest to the cursor, you can turn this option off in Dragon's Options
dialog box, Commands tab (see Enable multiple text matches). Then, if
Dragon selects the correct word or phrase but not the right instance, you
can say "Select Again" to select the previous instance. By default, the fea-
ture is turned on.
Here's an example of what Dragon does with the "Bold <xyz>"command.
When you say "bold fox," Dragon displays a number next to each matching
item, as shown here. Then you can say "Choose <n>," where <n> represents
one of the numbered text matches, or "Choose All" to apply the command to all
text matches. Dragon only numbers text matches that are visible in your
current document window.
