Hello pranav,
thanks for your help, I tried changing the microphone off and on keys from
the shift,f11 over to the print screen instead..
However the program would not accept the "print screen key" there, or in the
other area used for the microphone sleep/" without disastrous results. (
without the program complaining strongly)..
While I was trying to work in the hotkeys area, I ended up accidentally
changing several keys and it caused me some aggravation to change back what
I messed up.
I have to admit I learned a lot bumping around in previously unexplored
areas and learn how to repair my mistakes using the manual.
at least now I can laugh at myself for my mishaps, and I will be more
confident trying again elsewhere.
.
At this point I'm going to wait until I can get someone more experienced to
remap the key on the registry level,
, perhaps using the SHARP KEYS program suggested.
.
Thanks again to everyone,
Ariane

Hi Ariane,
You are looking in the wrong place. Go to tools and then options.
Now, navigate to the "hotkeys" tab. My bad, I told you to go to "commands"
earlier.
Tab to the first item that says "microphone on off".
Hit the spacebar on this and then hit the print screen key.

Hello pranavI'm having a problem locating the command that might work for
the "pause on/off " ke and assign it to the print screen key.
From the system tray I located the dragon menue, represented by the "TURN
MICROPHONE OFF" title, then I went to tools, options, and first found
BROWSE
COMMANDS".
I tried to use the "wake up command in desperation., which was announced
as
"wake up", value.
Then I press the space bar , and then the print screen key. It did not
seem to activate anything.
Then I tried to go into the other options that could allow the original
defaults, be changed and could not get past the first page.
The manual said to press the tab key five times and then the Aero key to
advance to the next page but I could not get it to work.
Have I been looking in the wrong area?
I did a search for this on the Internet, and ended up on the dragon site.
They had a blog conversation which seemed to suggest that the cleanest
way
to remap the key for use in the pause on/off, was to change the registry.
There was also a reference to a small program that would assist in
accomplishing this task. Called "sharp keys" which I might try using with
some assistance, if it's not too complicated.
Some of the bloggers suggested problems switching the pause key because it
is a three bit key, which is less common than a so called "2 bit" key.
This is all getting way beyond my technical bravery.
I appreciate everyone's help, and I will report back if I am successful
later this weekend.
Ariane

Hi Ariane,
The mapping will occur in dragon. You navigate to the options dialog, tab
to
the command you want to change, hit the spacebar on that command, press
the
print screen key and that should be that.
As for the limited dexterity issue, have you considered using the sticky
keys option in windows? See the accessibility options applet.
