Use the XML to DAT tool to convert data in an XML file

2. Onacommandline,usemycmdsXML2DAT.exetoconverttheXMLfiletoDATformat.
3. Usethensadmin utilityortheData Distribution Tool tocopythe.datfiletothedatadis-
tributiondirectory.
ThenexttimeyouopenaUserProfile,Dragon incorporatesthenewcommandsfromthe.dat

Using the MyCommands Protection Utility
InDragon Professional andhigher,youcanexportasetofcustomText-and-Graphics,
Step-by-Step,Macro Recorder,and/orAdvanced Scriptingcommandsintoa .datfile,so
thatafteranend-userimportsthem,thatend-usercandictatethecommandsbutcannotview
theirsourcecode,edittheirsourcecode,orre-exportthecommands.Asaresult,theintegrity
ofthecommandsremainsintact.
Toprotectthecommandsina.datfile:
1. Makeabackupcopyoftheunprotected.datfileandstoreitinasecurelocation.Youlater
usethatfiletoeditthecommands,becauseonceyouprotectthe.datfilethatyouaredis-
tributing,youcannotmakethefileavailableforeditingagain.
2. SelectStart >Run andentercmd intotheRun dialogbox.
3. Changedirectoriesto:
C:\ProgramData\Nuance\NaturallySpeaking13\Custom
SeeDragonfilestructureforinformationondefaultlocationonWindows7and8andother
