NOTES
n If you clear the "Dates" checkbox, Dragon will not apply automatic
date formatting. For example, after clearing the checkbox, if you dic-
tate "July twenty seventh," Dragon will write "July 27th."
By default, Dragon does not use the numeral form of numbers smaller
than 10, whether for cardinal numbers (one, two, three...)or ordinal
numbers (first, second, third...). If the "Dates"checkbox is cleared,
Dragon writes "the 10th of June" and "the seventh of June" unless you
change the default setting "Numbers, if greater or equal to" on the
Auto-Formatting Options dialog box.
