EnableThat Usage NotesInstructions for usage 1) Have the focus and a blinking cursor in any field or box where you want to dictate and/or enable Select-and-Say. 2) Say "EnableThat" (with a 1-line supplied macro for Pro series, Preferred users must say "Start EnableThat". 3) dictate and modify your text using Select-and-Say as desired. 4) Say/Click "paste and close". That's it! Your text will be pasted back where you started from. Alternate usage (selection)1) Select some text in your original application that you want to work on in EnableThat that is less than the full document. Ex. "select previous paragraph" 2) Say "EnableThat selection" (Pro with macro, Preferred users must say "Start EnableThat selection") 3) dictate and modify your text using Select-and-Say as desired 4) Say/Click "paste and close". That's it! Your text will be pasted back replacing what was previously selected. Text Only - mostlyEnableThat cuts and pastes and works on plain text only. If the original text was html e-mail for instance, it will generally NOT retain the HTML formatting when returned to the calling application. For email applications this is generally not a problem. However, it is possible to use the "selection" option of EnableThat in documents that are formatted, if the selection is all of one formatting. Example: This very page is an HTML page. I created it in FrontPage. If I say "EnableThat" and make some modifications, then "paste and close", it will lose the difference between the bigger bolded font "Text Only - mostly", and the rest of the text. If however, I just select an entire paragraph which is all of the same formatting, then issue the command "EnableThat selection" , then when I paste back in to just that selection, the "Text Only - mostly" is unaffected, and everything retains the current formatting. I used that process on this very paragraph Do not change calling focus After bringing up EnableThat, if you return to your application, be sure to leave the window cursor (focus) in the same field as when you called EnableThat. If you don't, when you "Paste and close" EnableThat, it may paste the contents were you don't want it. If you never go back to your calling application while EnableThat is open, you won't have a problem,and won't need the following. Only if you do change calling focus example: I have done Message, Reply, then "EnableThat". now I am dictating a reply in EnableThat. As I am working on this reply, I decide I want to change the Subject of the e-mail. I click in the Subject field and change it. At this point, you need to return the cursor to the message body (that is actually being worked on in EnableThat). If you don't (return the cursor), then when you "paste and close", your entire message will be pasted into the Subject field. Probably not what you had in mind. If this happens, just delete everything from the wrong place, get back to the message body, say "EnableThat" (Preferred="start EnableThat"), then say/click "reload", and EnableThat will put you back where you left off. The very last "paste and close" contents of EnableThat are always stored in the file: installation directory\Enable.last If you find yourself doing this too often, you might be better off running EnableThat full-screen, so that you'll be more likely to complete whatever dictation you're working on before doing anything else back in your calling application. |
