5 Correcting and Editing With a little practice, you will develop the habit of dictating in a clear, steady voice, and the computer will understand you better. NOTE 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.) NOTE 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." SAY Select THEN Next Previous Forward Back Last THEN Paragraph 2...20 Paragraphs Line 2.20 Lines 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."
