Keep the following in mind as you use natural commands:
v
A natural command consists of a single action. Do not combine two actions
into a single command; for example, do not say
Computer move the cursor
to the beginning of the second paragraph and make the next three words
bold
. Instead, say "Computer move the cursor to the beginning of the
second paragraph"
, then say
"Computer make the next three words bold"
.
v
Use Word terminology when composing your command. Do not use extra
words like
Please or I want to —ViaVoice will not understand what to do.
Use only word-processing terms.
v
Every time you press Enter or say "New Paragraph" in your Word
document, Word inserts a paragraph marker and counts this as a
paragraph. To see your paragraph markers, select on the Microsoft
Word Standard toolbar.
When you say
"Computer select the first three paragraphs" , and you have
a paragraph marker between paragraphs of text, ViaVoice will select the
first paragraph, the empty line and the second paragraph.
