To create a field in a command’s Content box, click the Variable button at the bottom of the MyCommands Editor.

By default, each field appears between square brackets as "[default value]". (If you prefer delimiters other than

square brackets, you can indicate that in the Commands tab of the Options dialog.)

After saying the command name, which pastes the “DragonTemplate”, you can:

 type or dictate a specific value in each placeholder —> The placeholder is overwritten, and delimiters

are removed.

 accept the default value —> Delimiters are NOT automatically removed; you can say "clear variable

delimiters".

To navigate a DragonTemplate’s Fields, you can select the desired Field with the mouse, or use the voice

commands "Next Field" or "Previous Field." (These commands only work where all of Dragon's functionality is

supported—where the DragonBar’s Full Text Control indicator is green).

Managing custom commands

After you create commands, you may wish to edit them. If your phone number changes, for instance, you may

want to edit commands containing it. You may also want to rename, delete, or copy commands.

A tool called the Command Browser lets you search for commands as well as manage your custom commands.

In the Professional and Legal editions, deleting, renaming, modifying, exporting and importing custom commands

can be done through its Manage “mode”, as follows. (In the Premium edition, see the Script “mode”.)

Step 1: Say open Command Browser. (You can also use the link in the Tools menu.)

Step 2: On the Mode section of its Task

Pane, click Manage (or choose

it from the Mode menu.)

Step 3: Open the Group drop-down list.

If you created a separate group

as suggested earlier, its name

will appear here; choose it.

Otherwise, the commands you

made will be under User-

defined.

Step 4: The Command Browser now

displays only the commands in

the specified group, listing them

by availability. You can use the

+ symbol to expand the display.

Step 5: Check the box next to the

desired command, then click To

Script (which at that point will

be available in the Task pane.)

This takes you to the Command Browser’s Script display, which shows all the modifiable commands.
