Step 6: With your command

highlighted, click Edit in the

Task pane (or use the Script

menu). The MyCommands

Editor will open, displaying

the command’s attributes

and content; you can now

edit the command as

desired.

Remember: the Description field is

useful for entering comments such

as where and when the command

should be used, or reminders like

“make variations of this ASAP” or

“change this after we move”. Your

notes may seem obvious at the time,

but they really help later!

You can delete commands visible

through the Script or Manage

displays: check the box next to the

desired command(s) then choose

Delete (from the menu).

Finding commands: the Keyword Filter

One of the ways you can find commands in the Command Browser is by using the ability to filter the display to

show only the commands whose name contains a particular word or words: choose Filter from the Command

Browser’s toolbar (visible in the upper-right corner when in Browse Mode) to specify one or more words. The

Filter button is useful for finding custom commands (particularly if they were not filed under a Group name), and

also for finding built-in commands, since Dragon contains far too many to list even in the online Help.

TIP: It’s a good idea to explore the Command Browser for commands related to items you might like to address

by voice: you might filter for words like border, indent, double space, table, row, column…

The Command Browser’s display may seem strange at first, because instead of full words some lines may contain

ellipses (dot dot dot), parentheses, and <angle brackets>, in order to fit in the space and represent the many

optional and alternate elements, like “the” and “a”. You can view the full wordings by using the Browse menu’s

items—Refine and Undo All are particularly useful.

To practice, pick your usual word processor in the Context drop-down list, and use the Filter to find commands on

items you often use in this application.
