Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
"Select All"
Caution
When text is selected, be careful not to breathe loudly, clear your throat, or
make other sounds. Dragon may interpret such noises as speech and replace
the selection with new text. If this happens, say "Undo That" right away to
reverse the action.
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 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.
Selecting text again
Once you have selected a word or phrase, you can quickly select another
occurrence of the same text.
To select text again
Say "Select Again."
Example
In the sentence, "The frost is on the pumpkin, and the fruit is on the vine," say
"Select is on the" to select the words "is on the" after the word "fruit."
Then, to select the instance of the words "is on the," after the word "frost" say
"Select Again."
Changing an incorrect text selection
When you select text by saying "Select" and the text you want selected,
Dragon searches for the nearest instance of the text from the current location
of the insertion point. Sometimes the program selects the wrong words. Other
times, the program selects the right words, but they are not in the correct
location.
When this happens, try the following techniques:
To change an incorrect text selection
If the wrong text is selected, try saying "Select <text>" again. The second
time, Dragon searches for different text with a similar pronunciation.
