l Custom commands are missing
l Custom commands upgraded from Dragon Dictate 4 do not work
MouseGrid does not appear on my second display
If you use more than one display with your computer, MouseGrid may only display on your primary display. To allow
MouseGrid to work on both displays:
1. Go to System Preferences and click Mission Control.
2. Deselect Displays have separate Spaces.
3. Close the Mission Control window.
4. Click the Apple menu and select Log Out <User>…
A confirmation dialog box appears.
5. Click Log out.
6. Log in again.
7. Start Dragon again if it is not already running.
8. Say "Show MouseGrid."
You should now see the MouseGrid on both displays.
New or duplicated commands do not work
If your custom command is not working, try these steps to solve the problem:
l Single-word command triggers are not recommended, as they could be easily misrecognized. For example, if
you wanted an Auto-text with your signature, name it "My Signature" rather than "Signature."
l Avoid using words such as "that," "one," "two," etc. in your command triggers, as they may cause conflicts
with existing commands.
l Make sure you created the command in the correct context. If you created a command in the Calendar
context, for example, it will not work in Finder.
l AppleScript commands need to be Compiled or Run before saving.
l Open the Commands Manager and find your command in the list.
l Double-click the command to open the command editor popup window.
l Click either Compile or Run. Dragon will tell you if there are any errors and change the color of the
text if successful:
