Printing and saving your dictated text
Printing
From the File menu of your word processor, use the mouse to choose Print. Or say
“Click File,” pause, and say “Print.” You can also simply say, “Print Document” or
“Print File” if the Natural Language Commands are enabled. See “Commands
Options” on page 179. Also see “Using the Command Browser” on page 103.
Saving
From the File menu, choose Save. You can also say “Click File” and then say “Save.”
Remember, you have to pause between the “Click File” and the “Save” commands
to have Dragon NaturallySpeaking recognize them as two separate commands. If
the Natural Language Commands have been enabled, you can say “Save Document.”
Getting Help
To access the online Help for Dragon NaturallySpeaking, click the Help menu on
the DragonBar and choose Help Topics. Alternately, you can say “Give Me Help.”
You can print individual Help topics with the Print button in the Help window. To
open the online Help links, just say their names. The links will be displayed next to
the application window and will give you examples of the most common commands
that work in the application you are currently using.
“What Can I Say?”
Saying “What Can I Say?” will bring up the Sample Commands window. The
Sample Command window displays a small selection of useful commands that
Dragon NaturallySpeaking recognizes for the current context, whether it is a
particular program you are using or the Windows desktop.
To open the Sample Command Window
Choose Sample Commands from the Help menu on the DragonBar or say “What can
I say”. The Sample Commands window opens, displaying a selection of commands
next to the window you are working in.
