Notes
n You can cancel a selection by saying "Unselect That," selecting different
text, or moving the insertion point to another part of the document.
n In most instances, the "Select" command will display a number next to
each instance of the word, allowing to select all instances or just a spe-
cific instance. See Handling multiple text matches for more information.
If you find that a particular application does not display these numbers,
you can still use the "Select Again"command.
n If you need to use the "Select Again" command, the selection commands
search for the instance of the word nearest the insertion point. You can
set the direction to always search backward on the Correction tab of the
Options dialog box..
n When you select a word or phrase, Dragon displays the Correction menu,
which you can use to correct recognition errors. You can change this
behavior on the Correction tab of the Options dialog box.
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.

brother"because you only need to change that, Dragon selects "brother-
in-law."
