Using the Dragon Sidebar
Use the Dragon Sidebar to see sample commands and tips that update
dynamically as you switch between programs and windows. For the list of
programs with the highest compatibility with Dragon, see Dragon Sidebar Help
and Tips contexts.
The Sidebar displays automatically when you open a Dragon User Profile. You
can change the default display setting of the Sidebar from the Miscellaneous
tab of the Options dialog box. If the Sidebar is closed, you can open it any time
by saying “Show Dragon Sidebar”.
The Sidebar is divided into upper and lower sections, called panes.
n The top pane of the Sidebar provides clickable links to Help topics,
shows examples of commands available in the current application, and
organizes the information by tabs. See Dragon Sidebar tabs for details.
n The lower pane of the Sidebar contains tips. See Dragon Sidebar Tips for
details.
You can dock the Sidebar on the left or right side of the screen, set it to auto-
hide, or set it to "float" like other windows, change its font size, and place it
anywhere you want on the Windows Desktop. You can also maximize,
minimize, or resize the Sidebar.

active window or not. Most commands require that the Sidebar be open.
