Working with Microsoft Excel
Dragon provides a number of natural language commands to use with Microsoft
Excel. 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.
In addition, the following topics describe the natural language commands you
can use to perform some common tasks using Microsoft Excel:
Dictating in Microsoft Excel with Full Text Control
Basic Microsoft Excel commands
Formatting a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
Working with contents in Microsoft Excel
Dictating in Microsoft Excel with Full Text
Control

revise content and to navigate between cells in Microsoft Excel. For a complete
list of the commands you can use in Microsoft Excel, use the Command
Browser.
