from the word you’ve selected. (This is only applicable when you’ve
selected more than one word at a time.)
If you select any leading or trailing spaces (including paragraph marks)
along with the text you want to correct, choosing one of the
alternatives in the Correction menu deletes those leading and trailing
spaces.
Correcting Punctuation
Note the following when correcting punctuation:
■ When you select a phrase (more than one word) that has
punctuation, make sure to dictate that punctuation. For example,
say you initially dictated, "Today is Thursday I have a meeting at 11
o'clock" and the text was transcribed as "Today is Thursday, I have
a meeting at 11 o'clock." If you want to change the comma to a
period, say "Select Thursday comma". If the correct punctuation
appears in the Correction menu, select it. Otherwise you can dictate
over the selection, for example by saying "Thursday period".
