Step 6: With your command

highlighted, click Edit (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!

IMPORTANT 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 via the Command Browser’s “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, as instead of full words some lines may contain

ellipses (…), 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. (The illustration below shows the result of filtering for the words

“rest” and “paragraph” in Microsoft Word 2003.)
