Notes
n If you make a mistake and do not want to add the words, avoid making
additional changes to the Vocabulary that you want to save, and then exit
Dragon without saving.
n When adding words from documents, you will get the better results if you
remove all formatting from the documents you use. For information about
how to prepare documents, see the topic Preparing documents to add to
the Vocabulary.
