My current Dragon student has chosen Outlook Express rather than Outlook for
his E-mail client. When composing a message it was really flaky until I set
it to use plain text and taught the student to maximize the message window.
Most of my instructors seem to prefer Outlook Express and I think it's
because it's so easy to use the address book. Doesn't matter that I try to
steer them towards Outlook. I tried using the, "Store E-mail," routine to
entice everybody towards Outlook but since it works in Outlook Express too
that wasn't the best amunition.
In the best of all worlds everybody would do what we tell them to do but
that's just not reality and I'm not a dictatorial kind of person.
Outlook Express really does work pretty well, all things considered.

Okay, there are several times where this might happen if the security
setting is not the issue. I did see Brian's post about using Outlook, and
certainly I concur that this would be the best alternative since it is fully
supported by J-Say. In addition, I do not currently have Outlook express
configured on any of my production or test machines since we are a Outlook
company. However, if you need to stay with Express you may want to try the
following:
1. If Outlook express offers a Detect and Repair utility on the Help menu
try running this.
2. If you are in some type of template or doing some other type of
unusually formatted dictation in Express this could be a problem.
3. I'm assuming that you have the window set to Plain Text. Does this
reproduce if you do a New Mail, or is this happening when you are in a reply
mode?
I'll try to do some testing in the next day or so and please feel free to
repost as you move along. -ed.

Gary- in MS Word would you check: Tools/Macro/Security and make sure
this is set to low. If not set to low, restart MS Word. Repost if this
doesn't make a difference or is already set that way...ed.

Subject: [j-say list] correction box not honoring selected material
I had an experience just now that I've not seen before. I was creating
a document using Microsoft Outlook express, and when I came to words that
the system did not understand, I selected them, then said correct that,
spelled the correction, and then spoke the command confirmed that. I was
surprised when speaking the sentence to find that the word I had spelled was
inserted into the document but what I had tried to correct still remained.
After a time or two of this, I selected the text I wanted to correct,
verified through jaws using the keyboard that the material I wanted really
was selected, and then said the command correct that. When i did a speak
line from within the correction box, the material I had selected was not
there, but a word adjacent to it was.
From what I can tell, this is not a J-Say error but probably a problem
with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
Any comments appreciated.
