The Commands window is your interface for management of global and application-based commands. This is where commands may be edited — modified, created, activated and deactivated, and deleted.
To open the Commands window:
Choose Tools > Commands.
Choose File > New Command. This is the same as choosing Tools > Commands and then pressing the button to create a new command.
To switch among command lists:
In the left column, select a command set — Global, or an application context.
At the top of the middle column, click All, Built-in, or User Defined.
It is the combination of both these settings that determines which commands are displayed.
To activate or deactivate a command:
Click the checkbox to the left of the command’s name.
A deactivated command still exists, but it is not listed in the Available Commands window, you cannot issue the command, and Dragon Dictate doesn’t have to consider that phrase as a possible command when you say it. So, deactivating unused commands can be useful; but you probably should wait, before doing so, to see which commands you really don’t need.
To create a new command:
Click the button.
To delete a command:
Select the command and press the Delete key, or choose Delete from the tool (gear) menu.
You can’t delete an unmodified built-in command. Deleting a built-in command that you’ve modified restores the original unmodified built-in command.
To duplicate a command:
Choose Duplicate Command from the tool (gear) menu.
To edit a command:
Select the command name and modify the details in the right column.
Detailed instructions on how to create and edit a command are in the User Manual.
Changes that you make in the Commands window might not be registered until you close the Commands window.
