I use outlook mainly and outlook express for another account.
I've not tried J-Say in outlook express but will do when I get my desktop
returned late next week or early the week after.
Not looking forward to reinstalling everything!

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.
