Spacing

In general, Dragon will automatically insert or suppress spacing where appropriate. For example, spaces are inserted between words and after punctuation such as periods and commas, but suppressed around hyphens. If you need to make special adjustments, use these commands.

To insert a space

• Say Space bar.

To adjust spacing as you dictate

• Say No space <word> to prevent automatic insertion of a space before the next word.
• Say No space on to prevent automatic insertion of a space between a string of words (such as a Web address).
• Say No space off to go back to normal spacing.

To delete a space before a word you already dictated

1. Place the cursor before the word. For example, say Insert before <word>.
2. Say No leading space or Press the key Delete.

Remember, in most applications, it's better not to use your mouse and keyboard while dictating text. See Dictating and typing for more on how to avoid errors caused by mixing dictation and typing.
