tiP.TabbingfromeldtoeldissuchacommonthingtodothatMacSpeech
Dictateincludestwocommandstohelpyouwithit: NextField and Previous
Field .Thesecommandsareinfactacombinationof  PurgeCache and
pressingTaborShift-Tab.(Conversely,youshouldnotuse NewLine or New
Paragraph tomovefromeldtoeld—orif youdo,say PurgeCache im-
mediatelyafterwards.)
Note Pad Windows and the Cache
ANotePadwindowisexceptional.MacSpeechDictatealwaysknowsthecontents
of aNotePadwindow,becausethewindow“belongs”toMacSpeechDictate.So,
ineffect,the CacheDocument commandisautomaticallyexecutedforyouas
required.WhenyouopenanexistingdocumentintoaNotePadwindow,orwhen
youpastetextintoaNotePadwindow, CacheDocument isautomaticallyex-
ecuted.Whenyousay PurgeCache inaNotePadwindow, CacheDocument is
automaticallyexecuted.And CacheSelection ismeaningless.
Still, CacheDocument isusefulinaNotePadwindow,sinceyoumightwant
MacSpeechDictatetoforgethowtextwasenteredinthedocument,removeits
recordingsof yourvoice,andjuststartover,learningaboutthewholedocument
fromscratch.Thiscouldbehelpful,forinstance,whendictatingalongdocument.
