You can activate any list box by saying the list box name.
To open a list box:

2 Say "Show Choices," "Drop List," or "Open List." The list box opens to show all
the choices available in the list.
To make a selection from an open list
1 Say the full name of the selection.
2 Say "Move Down" or "Move Up" and the number of places your selection is from
the current selection.

menus and controls by pressing keys. With Dragon
NaturallySpeaking you can “press” any key on your keyboard by voice. You can
press letters, numbers, modifier keys (
SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT), and so on.
You can say “Press,” “Press Key,” or “Type”—all three voice commands work the same

“Scratch That” will not erase keystrokes dictated with the Press Key commands. You must
select the text by voice or mouse and delete it or say “Press Delete.”
Pressing letters
You can press any letter on your keyboard by saying “Press” and then the letter.
