Troubleshooting new words and phrases
If your new word or phrase does not work properly, open the Vocabulary
Editor
TM
and check for the most common mistakes:
■ The spoken form and written form were reversed.
■ You forgot to click Add after entering the spoken and written forms.
Changing word properties
In the Vocabulary Editor
TM
, you can change the formatting properties of
a word (such as whether Dragon NaturallySpeaking
®
should type a space
before or after the word, or whether the word should be capitalized when
used in a title).
To change the properties of a word:
1 Open the Vocabulary Editor
TM
by choosing View/Edit from the Words
menu on the DragonBar. The Vocabulary Editor
TM
opens.
2 Find the word whose properties you want to modify and click on it to
select it. (To move through the list of vocabulary words quickly, type the
first few characters of the word you want in the Written Form box.)
3 Click the Properties button to open the Word Properties dialog box. The
Property column lists the different possible properties for a word,
namely, the spacing, capitalization, and other ways a word behaves when
it is recognized and printed in your document.
