You can then dictate the word or phrase you want
to insert (you must also dictate the space following the
inserted word).
Dictate this sentence:
I ran into an old friend at the Lincoln Memorial
[period]
Say
“Go To Beginning of Line.”
Say
“[Cap] Last week [spacebar].”
Then say,
“Move Forward Five Words.”
The insertion
point moves to just before “friend.”
Say
“college [spacebar].”
The sentence now reads:
Last week I ran into an old college friend at the
Lincoln Memorial
[period]
Capitalizing Words
You can capitalize words as you dictate, or later as you
review your document. To capitalize the last thing you
said, say
“Cap That.”
To make the last thing you said
appear in all capitals, say
“All Caps That.”
To make
the last thing you said appear in all lowercase, say
“No
Caps That.”
To turn capitals on for the next thing you dictate, for
example, a book title, say
“Caps On.”
When you are
finished dictating the title, say
“Caps Off.”
You can
also turn all caps, or no caps, on and off the same way.
For a list of capitalization commands, see your
Command Quick Reference card or the online Help.
Formatting Words
You can format words as you dictate, or later as
you review your document. For example, you can
change font size and style, and apply bold, italics, or
underlining.
To format the last words you dictated, pause and say a
formatting command, for example,
“Set Font 12 Point”
or
“Format That Bold.”
To change the format for the next thing you dictate,
say, for example,
“Set Font Arial 12 Point Italic.”
The
change will apply to any text you have selected and
from that point onward. You can say any combination
of font face, size, and style.
To format words anywhere in your document, first
select the words and then say a formatting command.
Dictate this sentence:
We spent all morning at the
[Caps On]
National
Portrait Gallery
[Caps Off] [period]
Say
“Select Previous Three Words.”
The words “National
Portrait Gallery” are selected.
Say
“Format That Italics.”
The selection now reads
“
National Portrait Gallery.
”
Next, say
“Move Back Four Words.”
The insertion
point moves to before “all.”
Say
“Select Next Two Words.”
The words “all morning”
are selected.
Say
“Format That Bold.”
The selection now reads “
all
morning.
”
Say
“Restore That”
to remove the bold formatting.
Experiment with other formatting commands, such
as
“Format That Underlined.”
You can find lists of
formatting commands in the Command Quick
Reference card or the online Help.
In WordPad and Microsoft Chat 2.1 and 2.5, you
can also say
“Bold That,” Italicize That,” or “Underline
That” to format selected text.

turn Numbers Mode on from the NaturallySpeaking
menu, point to Words and then click Numbers Mode.
You can also say
“Start Numbers Mode”
or
“Numbers
Mode On.”
