Note that Dragon also has two special commands for quotes and brackets: you can say "Empty Quotes,"

or "Empty Brackets" to have Dragon insert a pair of quotation marks or brackets so you can dictate

something within them.

TIP The Command Browser’s Keyword Filter lets you explore additional command wordings for the

application(s) you frequently use, as seen in this screenshot. For instance, in Word and WordPerfect, you can

say “turn bullets on” and “turn bullets off” as well as “format that bulleted and bold.”

The "Format That" Commands

Not all formatting commands are worded as "X that", but all follow the same rules about what text the action is

performed on: the selection if there is one, otherwise the last utterance (what was said since the last pause.)

As seen in the Command Browser, the many formatting commands include:

format that bullet style –- bullets the designated text (you can also say set that to or make that bullet style)

format that centered

format that regular

format that strikeout –- places a line through the selection (for example, January 19)

Note that formatting commands can combine several indications, as in:

format that Garamond, format that Arial 12, etc. –- gives the selection the font name/size specified

format that 20 point, format that 12 point, etc. –- gives the selection to the point size specified
