TIP: If you say what you think is a command but Dragon takes no action or just transcribes the words on the
screen, look for the Results indicator (see the View tab of the Options dialog). If it does not show your command
(with a thick border around it), Dragon did not recognize what you said as a valid command for the current
situation: for instance, if you say "Insert a 2 by 2 table" when the insertion point is inside a table, nothing
happens because Word does not allow inserting a table inside a table.
Here are examples of commands for Word:
