This 'Dragon Naturally Speaking 8' is I take it, a windows program? I've seen it on the shelves at Staples et all, but as its sold as a windows product, I'm afraid I haven't given the box more than a cursory glance & that was probably a year ago. Exclusively linux here. Unforch, much of what OOo does, is mouse pointer driven, and this is a (apparently) a handicap for you. Those options and commands that do have keyboard shortcuts, can often be found if the mouse is placed over the command and a popup will display it if there is one, but the keyboard shortcut is not defined for probably 75% or more of what OOo can do. Its all too often that those of us with 10 good fingers, albeit mine are getting stiff, arthritic & shakey as the decades (7 now) pile up, tend to skip over those things that would make life easier for those less well equipt digitally but do have a well functioning brain. We tend to feel sorry for ourselves when the shoes aren't new, until we see the person with no feet. I do not know if something that would simplify things for you is on the developers plate for 2.0, but it would be nice if someone in the know could comment. Probably wishfull thinking, but can you describe the sorts of input devices you can use?, or would like to see built? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
