Working with Applications
his chapter describes using Dragon NaturallySpeaking with most popular e-
mail programs, Microsoft
®
Internet Explorer, Microsoft
®
Word, and Microsoft
®
Excel.
If you are using Microsoft
®
Windows NT
®
version 4, you will need Service Pack 6 or later in
order to be able to use most of the voice commands described in this chapter. If you are using
Microsoft
®
Windows NT
®
4 with a Service Pack lower than 6, then you will not have Active Accessibility
installed on your system and an error message will appear. However, pressing keys by voice (page
34), and moving the mouse by voice (page 38) will work regardless of what Microsoft
®
Windows NT
®
Service Pack you have.
