Making Macros
Repetitively used text can be recorded as macros and
inserted into documents with simple voice commands of your own creation. Macros are powerful tools. For example, you can record an
e-mail address, a list that you often use, or an address. Follow these steps:
1. Dictate
the text you wish to record as a macro in the SpeakPad window.
2. Select
the text.
3. Choose Dictation à
Create Macro.
[Figure A-7:
Dictate your text, select it, and then create your macro: Callout: Dictate and select your
text, Dictation, Create Macro]
4. Name
your macro. Use an uncommon
name and omit spaces in the name itself. For example, we're using insideaddress in this
instance. Using such names
such will prevent you from accidentally launching Macros in the middle of
your normal dictation. Also,
will automatically trigger the Train
Words dialog box, which will allow you to record the sound of your
macro command.

Name your macro with a unique name]
FYI: You can always train or retrain any macro command from
the Vocabulary List as described in section C of this Appendix and the part
entitled Improve Command Recognition.
5. Record your macro. Dictate it as a command, without
spaces between the words you chose for your macro name.

Record your macro then choose Done]
6. Try your
macro. If your Macros doesn't
work properly, you can always delete it from your Vocabulary List which
will disable the macro permanently.
(See the instructions for Edit
the Vocabulary List section of part B in this Appendix.)
