C H A P T E R 9 Creating Your Own Dragon NaturallySpeaking Commands
Dragon NaturallySpeaking User’s Guide 141
■ Name the command
■ Specify what the command will do
After creating a command, if you need to make changes to it (for
example, change its name or what it does), you can edit it by using the
Edit Command Wizard. See “Editing a command” on page 148 for more
information.
Specifying where a command will be active
When creating a new command, the first step is to decide whether you
want the command to be active in all programs (global command) or only
in a specific program (application-specific command).
If the command would be useful in different programs, you should make
it global. For example, if you’re creating a command for printing a
document, make it global so that you can use it in your word processor,
e-mail program, and so on.
If the command applies to only one program, you should make it
application-specific. For example, if you’re creating a command for
automatically formatting a Corel WordPerfect document, make it
application-specific to Corel WordPerfect.
The New Command Wizard prompts you to select the specific program.
In order to see the program listed in the New Command Wizard, you will
need to start the program if it is not already running.
Creating a command file
After specifying where the command will be active, the next step is to
name the file where the command will be stored.
You should usually avoid creating new commands in the command files
that came with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. These are the ones that do
not have a star
next to them in the list of available command files.
Putting custom commands in their own command files not only makes it
easier to distinguish your own commands from the standard built-in
commands, but also makes upgrading easier in the future. Dragon
NaturallySpeaking cannot upgrade command files that you have
modified.
