Chapter 12: Improving recognition accuracy
When Dragon presents a Smart Format Rules box, you can choose one of the
adjustments it offers. Or you can just ignore the dialog box and continue
working, or say “cancel” and the box will close.
Here is an example of the Smart Format Rule for units of measure that appears

What to do when a Smart Format Rules box displays
When Dragon displays a Smart Format Rule, you can usually do any of the
following:
n If you don't want Dragon to auto-format the text using this rule now and
in future dictation, say choose 1 - Never <apply rule>, where apply rule
represents the auto-formatting rule you changed with your dictation.
n If you want Dragon to use the same auto-formatting setting the next
time you dictate it and in the future, say choose 2 - Always <apply
rule>.
n If you don’t want to adjust any rule, ignore this box. It will go away when
you continue dictating or working in your document. You can also say
“Cancel” to dismiss the box.
For Smart Format Rules about entering zeros rather than the word
"million,"for numbers greater than or equal to 10, and for word properties, the
choices are slightly different. The Smart Format Rules display the applicable
choices in those cases. For details and examples, see Options controlled by
Smart Format Rules below.
When the Smart Format Rules box display
