Dragon 12 Installation and User Guide
To open the Settings dialog box, you click the Settings button inside the
Dictation Box.
Note:You can have multiple DictationBoxes open at one time and can have
different settings for using the DictationBox with each application you use.
Font
The Font setting lets you change the font used for the contents of the Dictation
Box. To change the font:
1. Click "Change Font..."
2. Set the font, style, and size under Font, Font style, and Size.
3. Under Effects, you can choose a color from the drop-down list and/or choose
Strikeout or Underline.
4. Click OK to save the font change.
Notes:
n To set the font to the default, click "Default Font" and the font type and
size change to Arial 10-point.
n When you copy text into the text box, it displays in the same font as the
originating application.
Window Position
You can define where the Dictation Box appears:
n Anchor: Choosing anchor causes the Dictation Box to appear at the loca-
tion where it was last closed. If you drag the Dictation Box to a new loca-
tion and then close it, it will display at that location when you restart the
Dictation Box.
n Automatically position the Dictation Box near the cursor: This
option causes the Dictation Box to appear as close to the cursor location
as is practical.
Settings for application <application name>
You can define how the Dictation Box copies and pastes text in each application
where it's used. For example, you can have different copy and paste settings
for Microsoft PowerPoint and Corel WordPerfect.
The Dictation Box works for all applications that can accept standard keyboard
shortcuts for Windows Clipboard operations. In some applications that do not
accept these commands, your text may be lost or changed when you transfer
text in and out of the Dictation Box.
The Copy options define what kind of copied text theDictation Box can receive
from an application.
The Paste options define how the Dictation Box pastes text in each application
where you use it.
