Using DNS Pro 9 you can easily compound a string of words to make one compound term using the command "compound that."
My 1st question ... Is there a way to uncompound a string that is already compounded. (e.g. can you turn "notebook" into "note book" using a vocal dictation command?) My 2nd question ... To add to this, what if you incidentally dictated an entire paragraph with no space on. Would there be any way to add spacing to that paragraph after the fact without having to redictate the text or without manually adding spaces. Thanks, Marc -------------------- Marc

That would solve the issue if we compounded a word using the compound that command and then used the undo to undo the compounding, but what if Dragon transcribed the word hardware and we want hard ware (we did not use a command to compound hardware so undo would not uncompound the word. Is there a way to select a word and then separate it using a vocal command?
Thanks again, Marc -------------------- Marc

Is there a way to uncompound a string that is already compounded. (e.g. can you turn "notebook" into "note book" using a vocal dictation command?) Other than using "undo that" immediatly, I don't think so. But here is a very slick trick that I just picked up: An alternate written form of a word also appears when you select the written form and dictate the word a second time. For example, if you say "Massachusetts", Dragon NaturallySpeaking types "Massachusetts". If you then select "Massachusetts" and say it again, Dragon NaturallySpeaking substitutes "MA", because that it the alternate written form of the word. 1) Open the Vocab Editor. 2) Select notebook 3) Click Properties 4) Check Use Aletnate Form and add note book 5) Uncheck Use Alternate Form. Note book will persist, but wil be grayed out. Notebook will have a blue star next to it. 6) Close the Vocab editor. Now when you dictate notebook, DNS will return notebook as usual but if you select notebook and dictate notebook again, DNS will retutn the alternate form note book. Obivously, you can't use this for all compoinded words, but if you have some particular examples, it works great.
