CHAPTER 5
Editing and Revising Text
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
94
When you want to copy all the text in a document to another window,
the easiest way to do it is with the “Copy All to Clipboard” command. (See
“Copying text to other programs” on page 106.)
The “Scratch That” and “Cut That” commands don’t work, nor can you dictate,
when a lot of text is selected. This prevents you from accidentally deleting a large part of
your document. To remove a large selection, you can say “Delete That” instead.
Selecting an entire paragraph or line
You can select the current paragraph by saying “Select Paragraph.” To
select the current line, say “Select Line.”
You can also select a number of paragraphs or lines (up to 20). For
example, you can say “Select Previous 5 Paragraphs.” See the complete
list below:
Selecting a word or character
You can select the current word by saying “Select Word.” To select a
character, say “Select Next Character” or “Select Previous Character.”
You can also select a number of words or characters (up to 20). For
example, say “Select Previous 2 Words.”
See the complete list below:
