Chapter 7: Working in Programs

Working with Microsoft Word

Dragon provides a large number of Natural Language commands to use with different ver-

sions of Microsoft Word. Using these commands, you can avoid the multiple menu-selec-

tion and mouse-movement steps associated with the traditional Microsoft Windows

interface. Because the number of valid commands is so large, you should just try saying

what you want to do. If you get unexpected results, say "Undo That" to undo the action and

try a different way to speak the command. Alternatively, you can open the Command

Browser or the Dragon Sidebar for more information.

You can cancel a selection by saying "Unselect That," selecting different text, or moving the

insertion point to another part of the document.

The following topics describe the natural language commands you can use to perform some

common tasks using Word:

Basic document commands

Selecting text

Formatting text

Working with tables (see Dragon Help)

Using Voice Notations (see Dragon Help)
