Full Text Control in Quick Edits
You will want to practice entering data into a spreadsheet and navigate around the spreadsheet and within
cells, as well as dictate and correct text using commands like “correct <xyz>” (see Full Text Control, called
Select-and-Say in previous versions).
For the exercise below, the content of the spreadsheet is not important.
Step 1: Open Excel, say open document and locate
the relevant .xls file – or use a blank file.
Step 2: Say move to cell C7 (or Charlie seven.)
Step 3: Dictate your full name into the cell.
As you dictate, the cell background turns pale yellow,
indicating that Dragon is doing a Quick Edit.
Let’s practice correcting recognition errors so Dragon can learn from them:
Step 1: Say move to cell C 13 (or Charlie 13). Dictate some text that is likely to contain unknown words, such
as: “Travel to Ashtabula to provide support for Sporkatron, Inc.”
Step 2: Correct one of the recognition errors. (Leave the remaining errors as they are, so you can practice
coming back to this cell and correcting them later.)
Step 3: Say move down one to go to cell C14. Dictate some additional text that is likely to contain new words,
such as: “related to last week’s trip to Kenmawr—training Moosehart Insurance”
Now that you are out of the cell, practice going back to it and correcting the error(s) in it.
Step 1: Say move up one to move back to cell C13. Say a “correct <xyz>” command to correct another of the
errors Dragon made. Notice that the cell again turns yellow.
Continue correcting the text until it is accurate.
Step 2: Say apply. You are no longer in Quick Edit mode; the cell you were editing is still selected.
Now let’s practice entering numeric data rapidly into a row.
Step 1: Say move to cell B16 or move to cell Bravo 16 to move to the Breakfast row. Dictate a numeric value
such as six dollars and fifty cents.
Step 2: Say move right one to move to the next Breakfast entry. Fill in the rest of the row.
