Chapter 5. Dictating into Microsoft Word
This chapter describes how to use Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, or Word
2002 to create documents by voice. If you do not already have Word on your
computer, install it before continuing with this chapter. Alternatively, go to
Chapter 2, “The magic of dictating with ViaVoice” on page 17 and practice
dictating using SpeakPad.
Most of the voice commands in this chapter work only if you have installed
ViaVoice on Windows 98 Second Edition, Windows Me, or Windows XP
Home Edition. When a command is not recognized, select the desired button
or menu item with your mouse.
