Say the name of the menu you want to open (for example, say “File”). If the
command does not work, try saying “Click” and then the name of the menu you
want to open (for example, say “Click File”).
2 In this example, the File menu should open. If the command doesn’t work (for
example, if the word “click” is typed into your document), you may have
paused in the middle of the command.
3 Say the name of a menu item to activate it (for example, say “Save”).
4 To close a menu, say “Cancel.”
To open the Start menu, say “Click Start” or “Click Start Menu.”
If commands are often typed into your document instead of recognized as commands, you
can make Dragon NaturallySpeaking recognize commands only when they are preceded by saying
“Click.” To do this, select the “Require ‘Click’ to select menu or control” check box on the Commands
tab of the Options dialog box, described on page 184.
Selecting buttons, tabs, and options
When Dragon NaturallySpeaking is running, you can select any button, check box,
text box, or other dialog box option you see by saying it’s name. If that doesn’t
work, say “Click” and then its name.
For example, to select a check box labeled “Toolbar,” say “Toolbar” or “Click
Toolbar.” To clear the check box (deselect it), say its name again.
