Changing the format of a number
If Dragon NaturallySpeaking enters a number in a format you don't want, you can
use voice commands to convert it to a numeral or to spell it out.
For example, you can change "seven dollars" to "$7"
pounds" to "£7" (Other Dialects) by saying "Format That Number."
And you can change "$7" to "seven dollars"
(Other Dialects) by saying "Format That Spelled Out."
