Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
Working with Microsoft Word
Dragon provides a large number of Natural Language commands to use with
different versions of Microsoft Word. Using these commands, you can avoid the
multiple menu-selection and mouse-movement steps associated with the
traditional Microsoft Windows interface. Because the number of valid
commands is so large, you should just try saying what you want to do. If you
get unexpected results, say "Undo That" to undo the action and try a different
way to speak the command. Alternatively, you can open the Command Browser
or the Dragon Sidebar for more information.
You can cancel a selection by saying "Unselect That," selecting different text,
or moving the insertion point to another part of the document.
The following topics describe the natural language commands you can use to
perform some common tasks using Word:
Basic document commands
Selecting text
Formatting text
Working with tables (see Dragon Help)
Using Voice Notations (see Dragon Help)
Basic document commands in Microsoft Word
Use this procedure as a reference for basic document operations using
Microsoft Word.
