Edition Mode Description
Quick Edition Mode Allows you to enter new content into a cell, overwrite the
current contents of a cell, or format the entire contents of a
cell. When you select a cell and begin dictating, a yellow
background appears to indicate that the dictated text will
be inserted into the cell. If the cell currently contains text,
the new dictated text will overwrite the existing text. If you
want to format the contents of a cell, select the cell, or
select a portion of the cell’s contents using Full Text Control
commands, and say a formatting command, such as "Set
Font Arial 10 Points Bold".
Full Edition Mode Allows you to edit the existing contents of a cell. If you want
to add to or edit the current contents of a cell, select the
cell and say "Edit Cell" or "Press F2" to open the cell for
editing. When you enter Full Edition Mode, the background
color changes to blue. Entering Full Edition Mode is
analogous to double-clicking a cell. Line and Paragraph
commands, such as "New Line" operate within the selected
cell in Full Edition mode.
Using Full Text Control
In general, Full Text Control is available in cells except when you type
something into a cell before you dictate. For example:
n If you dictate into a cell, then type some characters, and dictate more
text into that cell, Full Text Control is available.
n If you type at the beginning of a cell and dictate some text or numbers,
Full Text Control is available only on the portion you dictated.
n Once you have edited a cell using any combination of typing and dic-
tation, when you move back to that cell by voice, Full Text Control is
available in the entire cell.
n The commands that quote text from the screen (select <xyz>, correct
<xyz>, insert after <xyz>…) work thanks to a functionality called Full
Text Control. This functionality depends on Dragon’s ability to constantly
obtain information from the text field about its content—for instance, in
order to know where words and sentences begin and end, so Dragon can
apply spacing between words and capitalization at the beginning of sen-
tences. Most standard text fields allow full Full Text Control capabilities.
For more information, see The Full Text Control Indicator.
