5 Correcting and Editing TIP If you prefer not to see the Correction menu every time you select text by voice, you can turn it off. In the Options dialog box, click the Correction tab to display the Correction options, then clear the check box "'Select' commands bring up Correction menu." To help you quickly find the alternative you want, the recognition choices in the Correction menu appear in boldface where they differ from the word you've selected. (This is only applicable when you've selected more than one word at a time.) The words that are different from the selection appear in bold, to help you find the correct alternative quickly. If you select any leading or trailing spaces (including paragraph marks) along with the text you want to correct, choosing one of the alternatives in the Correction dialog box deletes those leading and trailing spaces. Correcting Punctuation Note the following when correcting punctuation: ■ When you select a phrase (more than one word) that has punctuation, make sure to dictate that punctuation. For example, say you initially dictated, "Today is Thursday I have a meeting at 11 o'clock" and the text was transcribed as "Today is Thursday, I have a meeting at 11 o'clock." If you want to change the comma to a period, say "Select Thursday comma". If the correct punctuation appears in the Correction dialog box, select it. Otherwise you can dictate over the selection, for example by saying "Thursday period". ■ When you select punctuation, the Correction menu may include alternate punctuation.
