Chapter 5. Dictating Into Microsoft Word; Installing Word Program Support - IBM VIAVOICE 10-STANDARD EDITION User Manual

Chapter 5. Dictating into Microsoft Word

This chapter describes how to use Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, or Word
2002 to create documents by voice. If you do not already have Word on your
computer, install it before continuing with this chapter. Alternatively, go to
Chapter 2, "The magic of dictating with ViaVoice" on page 17 and practice
dictating using SpeakPad.

Installing Word Program Support

If you chose to install Microsoft Office support during installation, you can
immediately use natural commands and dictate when you open Word. Click
the ViaVoice menu button and then the option Dictate to. Do you see Word?
If you do, then Word support is already installed.
The Word Dictation Command Set allows you to dictate into Word. ViaVoice
loads the Dictation menu and icons on the Word menu. The Word Natural
Commands Command Set allows you to say voice commands in Word. The
What Can I Say window displays the available commands. You can select one
of these two options or both, depending on what you want to do.
If you did not install Microsoft Office support during installation, or you
installed Word after you installed ViaVoice, follow these instructions to enable
or disable the Word Dictation and Word Natural Commands Command Sets.
1. Click the ViaVoice menu and point to User Options.
2. Click ViaVoice Options and select the Commands Sets tab.
3. Select or clear the Word Dictation check box for Word dictation support.
Select or clear the Word Natural Commands check box for Word
voice-commands support. If these options are disabled (grayed), then you
do not have Word installed on your computer.
4. Click Apply to save your changes, or click OK to save the changes and
close ViaVoice Options. If VoiceCenter was open when you installed this
support, close VoiceCenter and restart it.

or menu item with your mouse.
