Say the Attention word
Pause slightly before you say the
command. Then, finish saying the
command with no pauses.
Say an Action
The first word after 'Computer' must be
an action verb to specify the task you
want the computer to perform.
To view the available actions, say "What
Can I Say for Natural Commands".
Say an Object
Specify the text or table object that you
want to change. Your command applies to
the currently selected text, to text objects
that you specify (words, sentences, lines,
paragraphs, pages, sections, or the entire
file), or to text in tables (cells, rows,
columns or the entire table).
You can use a pronoun, such as it, that and this, to refer to the object where the cursor
is located.
You can specify a range of objects, such as "Computer select from here to the end of
the document".
For tables, you can select a range of adjoining cells, columns, rows or tables, such as
"Computer select cells two to four in rows three through ten".
Say the Details
Certain actions require details. Use the
application's terminology and choices to
provide the details.
Examples include:
v Targets, such as "to the end of the third
paragraph".
v Line Spacing, such as "double-space".
v Font style, such as "bold" or "italics".
v Location, such as "beginning" or "top".
When you change the font (using options
on the Format menu, Font page), you can
include up to three changes to apply to an
object in one command. For example, you
can say "Computer make the last
paragraph Arial eight point bold".
