Notes
n When you use the "select" or "correct" command to select any part of a
hyphenated word or a hyphen, Dragon selects the entire hyphenation. For
example, in the hyphenated word "brother-in-law" if you say "correct
brother"because you only need to change that, Dragon selects "brother-
in-law."
n You can select punctuation marks by voice. For example, you can say
"Select comma."
n By default, when you select a word or phrase, Dragon displays the Cor-
rection menu, which you can use to correct recognition errors. You can
turn this feature off by clearing (deselecting) the "Select command bring
up Correction menu" options on the Correction tab of the Options dialog
box.
n Commands that delete by words or paragraphs may not always have the
expected effects in programs that do not use the same shortcut keys as
WordPad (on which the word processing features of Dragon are based).
For example, in Windows Notepad, the paragraph commands don't work
because Notepad does not recognize a paragraph and in Microsoft Excel,
these commands only work in the FormulaBar edit field.
