DRAGON 7 STARTUP TIPS FOR OFFICE 2003 USERS:
RENAMING
MICROSOFT OFFICE SHORTCUTS
Speaking Solutions, Inc. © 2002
Microsoft changed
their shortcut naming convention in Office 2003. Dragon can open any application
as long as its shortcut is found in the Start, All Programs
menu. To open any program you must speak it exactly by the name of the
assigned shortcut. Traditionally, Microsoft Office used the following
names:
- START
MICROSOFT WORD
- OPEN
MICROSOFT EXCEL
However, beginning
with Office 2003, Microsoft made these shortcut names much longer! In
2003 you must say:
- START
MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD 2003
- OPEN
MICROSOFT OFFICE EXCEL 2003
- START
MICROSOFT OFFICE POWERPOINT 2003
These new Microsoft
2003 names are a mouthful! Here is a clever way to save time and to avoid
stumbling over all of these long shortcut names.
