Correcting and Editing
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide
47
With a little practice, you will develop the habit of dictating in a clear, steady voice,
and the computer will understand you better.
If you’re correcting more than one word, the words must all be in sequence (next to each
other). You can’t use a single command to correct words that are in different parts of your document.
Selecting your whole document
To select all the text in your document, say “Select Document” or “Select All.” This
command is useful when you want to change the font or the way text is aligned.
When you want to copy all the text in a document to another window, the easiest
way to do it is with the “Copy All to Clipboard” command. (See “Copying text to
other programs,” on page 50.)
When a lot of text is selected, the “Scratch That” and “Cut That” commands don’t work, nor
can you overwrite the selection by dictating new text. This prevents you from accidentally deleting a
large part of your document. To remove a large selection, you can say “Delete That” instead.
Selecting an entire paragraph or line
You can select the current paragraph by saying “Select Paragraph.” To select the
current line, say “Select Line.”
You can also select a number of paragraphs or lines (up to 20). For example, you can
say “Select Previous 5 Paragraphs.”
Selecting a word or character
You can select the current word by saying “Select Word.” To select a character, say
“Select Next Character” or “Select Previous Character.”
You can also select a number of words or characters (up to 20). For example, say
“Select Previous 2 Words.”

Select Next Paragraph
Previous 2...20 Paragraphs
Forward Line
Back 2.20 Lines
