I have to concur about Outlook express. It is free, and it works very well for
many home users who simply don't need some of the functions that are involved
in Microsoft Outlook. It would seem to me that if this problem really is one
where Dragon NaturallySpeaking is at fault, the folks at nuance would want to
know.

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.
