Working with Microsoft Excel
Dragon provides a number of natural language commands to use with Microsoft Excel. Using
these commands, you can avoid the multiple menu-selection 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 infor-
mation.
You can cancel a selection by saying "Unselect That", selecting different text, or moving the
insertion point to another part of the document.
In addition, the following topics describe the natural language commands you can use to per-
form some common tasks using Microsoft Excel:
Dictating in Microsoft Excel with Full Text Control
Basic Microsoft Excel commands
Formatting a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet
Working with contents in Microsoft Excel
Dictating in Microsoft Excel with Full Text
Control

and to navigate between cells in Microsoft Excel. For a complete list of the commands you
can use in Microsoft Excel, use the Command Browser.
