Just say “Resume With” followed immediately by the word or words to which you
want to return. Then, continue dictating. Any text after the new position of the
insertion point will be replaced with your new dictation.
When using the “Resume With” command, remember not to pause in the middle. Say
“Resume With” and then immediately say the words to which you want to return. These words must be
in the last three or four sentences (100 characters) you said; you can’t use “Resume With” to return to
an earlier part of your document.
To go back as you dictate:
1
Suppose you dictate this sentence: “I have a deadline this week, but we could meet
for lunch… um… er… next Wednesday.”
2
To correct the sentence, return to the last correct words you remember
dictating. For example, say “Resume With meet for lunch.” (Remember not to
pause in the middle.)
3
Then, dictate the rest of the sentence. For example, say “next Wednesday at
noon.”
Deleting specific words
You can delete text by selecting it and saying “Delete That.”
To delete text:
1
Select the text you want to delete.
2
Say “Delete That.”
You can also say “Scratch That” to do the same thing.
Deleting the next or previous paragraph or line
You can delete the next or previous paragraph by saying “Delete Next Paragraph” or
“Delete Previous Paragraph.” You can delete the next or previous line by saying
“Delete Next Line”
or “Delete Previous Line.”
You can also delete a number of paragraphs or lines (up to 20). For example, you can
say “Delete Previous 5 Paragraphs.” See the complete list below:
