Deleting characters, words, lines, or paragraphs
You can delete any number of words or characters (up to 20) using the
following commands.
To delete characters, words, lines, or paragraphs
Say Then Say Then Say
"Delete" "Next" "Character"
"Previous" "1 Character"
"Last" "<2-20> Characters"
"Word"
"1 Word"
"<2-20> Words"
"Line"
"1 Line"
"<2-20> Lines"
"Paragraph"
"1 Paragraph"
"<2-20> Paragraphs"
Examples:
"Delete Next Character"
"Delete Previous 4 Lines"
Notes
n If you delete text and an extra space remains, say "Delete Next Char-
acter," "Delete Previous Character," or "Backspace" to remove the
space.
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.
