I had not thought of that, but if it is trying to read the entire document each time it would indeed take awhile. It actually works too quickly once it's running to be able to do that, but perhaps that is part of the problem when I wake it up after a brief pause. I'm still having a bit of an issue with that, but it is much faster and less of a problem after having made the adjustments suggested by the group. Dragon NaturallySpeaking is typing this for me without a problem, and I have two open files in Word also (the full 180 page manuscript and a page of notes).
Glancing over the tools menu and the options menu I think the programs reading of my writing is only done on command, then word patterns are matched to previous writings. At any rate, I think the bulk of my problem is greatly eased and now something I can live with. Wish I could get my 300SD in as good a shape, though really I have no complaints about the old girl.

If that's a possible issue, dictate to new, small docs, then merge or copy the text to the master document after the dictation session. Dragon will "read" a document, looking for word patterns to understand your speach better - maybe it's reading the entire doc every time you dictate now? I don't understand the detailed workings of that feature yet.
