Using Smart Format Rules
You can also use the Smart Format Rules feature to have Dragon recognize
when you correct dictated text that corresponds to an Auto-formatting option
or supported by this feature. Dragon then displays a Smart Format Rules dialog
box, offering one or more setting adjustments relevant to the change you just
made. If you don’t wish to change any setting, you can just ignore the Smart
Format Rules box and continue dictating, or say "Cancel" and the box will close.
The Smart Format Rules box may appear when you make a correction using
n the Correction menu
