mentioned that IBM was coming out with the new release this quarter,
so if you haven't upgraded to Gold yet, you might want to bide your
time at least a little bit.
As to the web address issue. I actually use a command macro to
do this, but since you don't have Gold, you must rely on dictation
macros. There is an options button in the macro creation window,
which offers options including "Join to next word" or "join to
previous word." Thus, you can create two macros one to give the
opening of the address and one to give the closing: "http://www." is
the text of the dictation macro that I named "URL address opening. "
with "Join to next word" check on your options. And ".com" is the
text of the dictation macro that I named "address closing" With "Join
to previous word" check on their options. Once these are created, and
be sure to train them, your dictation would sound like this: "URL
address opening out hyphen loud address closing"
When you create a dictation macro, avoid using the word dot in
the name of the macro, because it is understood to be a period.
You can also create a template; these work only within the
SpeakPad. The text of the template would be http://www.[].com and
the name might be something like web address template. The brackets
represent a field which can be designated to be dictated text or
spelling, or an item from a list which you create, or digits.
Hope this help. Susan
