[Note: This and the following three macros are not part of
the kimsmacros.dvc file, but have to be put on your computer in a different
way. Instructions for making these changes are on page 35 in the Other
Changes section. Note that once you make these changes you will no longer
be able to say the command it replaces.]
Left Oops
[This simply moves the cursor one character left, then invokes the
loops command. This is useful when you say a phrase, then punctuation
like a period or a comma before realizing the phrase is wrong.]
Fix
<Any Words> (in
place of Correct <Any Words>)
Please <Any
Button or Menu Item> (in place of Click <Any Button or Menu
Item>)
Add
Caps/No Caps/All Caps (in place of Cap/No Caps/All Caps That)
Add
Caps (Cap)/All Caps Line
Cap
Word (Last)/Next/Home A-Z ["Cap
Word B" would replace the first letter of the word the cursor is on, or,
if the cursor is between words, the word the left of the cursor, with
a capital B. "Home" replaces the first letter of the word at the beginning
of the line cursor is on. "Next" does the same with the word to the right
of the cursor. This is an especially useful command in the correction
box, where the above "Cap" commands do not work.]
Start
Menu/Programs/Documents/Settings/Run/Favorites/Find/Help/Msconfig/Regedit
Start/Switchto
<Any Program> [Any
Program refers to any program listed anywhere in your start menu.]
Start/Switch
to Files [This is an alternate,
easier way to say Start Windows Explorer.]
Close/Launch
(House) <Program> [Launch <Program>
is simply an alternative to Start <Any Program> but it only works for
programs in the <Program> list.]
Program:
NatSpeak/Word/Notepad/Wordpad/WordPerfect/Eudora/Netscape/Explorer/Dreamweaver/
Fusion/Photoshop/Cute FTP/Quicken

brings up the task manager opened to its different views.]
<Open
Programs> Open/Big/Tall/Wide/Very
Big/Very Wide/Very Tall/a-z, Alpha-Zulu [The
Open command --"Start Word Open", for example-- combines starting
a program and opening that program's files. The size commands do the same
but also change the size of the open file window. The alphabet commands--
"Start Word Alpha", for example -- combine starting a program,
opening the programs files, and moving the cursor to the first file starting
with the letter in question.]
<Open
Programs> Open/Big/Tall/Wide/Very
Big/Very Wide/Very Tall a-z, Alpha-Zulu
<Open
Programs> <Look
In Drives Files>
[This combines starting or switching to a program with opening
the folder or file in that program. For instance, saying "Word My Documents"
would bring up Word with the My Documents folder showing in the Open File
window.]
<Open
Programs> Go <Look
In Drives Files>
[This does the same as the above macro. The different wording reflects
the separate commands this combines. For instance, you can get to the
same place as the above example by saying "Start Word Go My Documents,"
or by saying "Start Word," then, when Word is up, saying "Go My Documents."]
<Open
Programs> <Look
In Drives Files> a-z,

what is highlighted (send this) before going to Eudora and carrying out
the other commands. In the following "Eudora send to Nickname"
macro what is copied into the body of the mail message.]
Explore (Explorer) Download
Pictures [This macro is one specific
to my machine, but it can be modified to speed regular file transfers.
It works in conjunction with the "Download Pictures" macro in
Explorer.]
Word <Word
Get Files> [This
combines starting Word, and the Word macro "Get <Get File>".
You can add Get Documents to Word by saying "Add Get" with the
requisite documented highlighted in Explorer, and then add them to this
macro by saying "Add Global Get."]
Word <Word My Documents
Get Files> [This combines starting Word with the word macro
"Get <My Documents Get Files>.You can add Get My Documents
Files to Word by saying "Add Get My Documents Files", and then add them
to this macro by saying "Add Global Get My Documents Files."]
Word <My
Documents Folder> [this
in the next to macros combine starting Word and the Word "Get "or
"Look In" macros.]
Word <My Documents Folder> <My
Documents File>
Word <My Documents Folder>
<My Documents Subfolder>
Add Global Get/Folder
(My Documents Folder) (Docs Folder)/File (My Documents File) (Doc File) [These
macros allow you to add to the Get, my Documents Folder, My Documents
File and My Documents Folder in the above global macros. Note that the
names of the files must also be added to the Word macro using the Word
"Add Get/Folder/File/Subfolder" macro.]

folder in the Start Menu.]
Start Menu Programs:
StartUp, Netscape
Communicator, Accessories, Iomega Tools

button so you can see the last files you accessed.]
Close/Maximize
(Bigger)/Minimize/Restore Window (Page)/Document
Close
1-5 Windows (Pages)/Documents
Close Document 1-10 Times
Close Next
[This combines "Close Window" and "Next Window." This is useful because
NaturallySpeaking has a habit of popping up after every "Close Window."
Note: if you use this for an application that needs to ask if you want
to save a file before closing, this will switch to the next window without
closing the file.]
Close
Erase/Save Notepad/WordPad
Cascade/Horizontal/Vertical/Minimize

Clear Desktop
[This minimizes all active programs.]
Switch
Now (All)/This (Selection) [These
commands cut text into the NatSpeak Window. Use the "Copy to" commands
in the "Global Navigation: Cutting, Pasting" section to copy text back.
These are useful as an alternative to writing text in programs that do
not support NatSpeak's full "Select and Say" capabilities.]
Macro
Window/Window Two [These open the Macrowin.txt or
Macrowin2.txt files in WordPad; in these files you can use the macro building
commands in the 6 of 7 section below.]
Find/Find
In (Find This In) Google/Google University/Open
Directory/TRN archive [These macros open Netscape,
then invoke a go command to go to the requested location. (For a full
explanation of the "Go" commands, see the Netscape section)"Find In" copies
any text you have selected, then pastes it into the search field of the
web page.]
*Task
1-30 [This
launches programs from the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.]
*Close Task
1-30
*Tray
1-10 (use Small Tray 1-10 for monitors set
to 600 by 800) ["Tray 1" single clicks on the rightmost
item in the tray at the bottom right hand corner of your computer. "Tray
2" clicks on the second item, etc. Note that different program items respond
differently to single clicks. A single click sometimes selects, sometimes
launches, and sometimes turns a tray item on or off. If this macro does
not work, it is because your screen settings are different from mine.
The last section of this document has instructions about fixing macros
like this.]
*Tray Right
1-10 (use Small Tray Right 1-10 for monitors
set to 600 by 800) [This right-clicks on tray
items.]
Words
On/Off [This toggles NaturalWord on and off. The
NaturalWord indicator appears in the tray at the bottom right hand corner
of your computer screen. It looks like a comic strip's thought balloon.
The balloon is blue when NaturalWord is on and gray when it is off. It
is usually on, but is useful to turn off in situations where you are using
commands only and not dictating. Note: In order for this to work
you must add a line to your options.ini file. See the Other Changes section
on page 35 for instructions on how do this.]
Open
File [This
and the following Find and Print commands are extremely common in programs,
and commonly have the same control keyboard commands. The File and Find
commands simply press Ctrl+F or Ctrl+O, respectively. The Find Another
command presses Ctrl+F, Enter, Tab, Enter. The print commands all start
out by pressing Ctrl+P. It is convenient to make these global since they
are used in so many programs, but the drawback is in programs that don't
use these conventions they may do something different. Please keep this
in mind. (Open File, Please Find, Find Another and the print commands
are the only global commands like this.)]
Open
File Big/Wide/Tall/Very Big/Very Wide/Very Tall
[This opens the file window, then sizes it bigger.]
Open
File a-z, Alpha-Zulu [This
opens the file window and goes to the letter of your choice in the file
pane.]
Open
File Big/Wide/Tall/Very
Big/Very Wide/Very Tall a-z,
Alpha-Zulu
Please/Global Find
Find
Another [This
finds the next instance of the last thing you put in the in the Find Window.
It opens and closes the find Window as part of the macro. You can also
say Find Another from the Find Window and he will go to the next instance
and close the Find Window. This macro is more efficient than keeping the
Find Window open when you are looking through multiple instances of the
same entry.]

1-10 [This repeats the "Select Again" command 1-10
times. It only works directly after you've used any of the above "Select"
macros]
Control
Panel
Change Control
(Control Panel) <ControlCategories> [This
allows you to get directly to a control panel category without having
to go through the control panel first. Note: To add Control Panel
categories to the macro say "Global Macro," use the Down 1-100 commands
to get to the <ChangeControl> <ControlCategories> macro, say "Next
3" to get to the ControlCategories list, then add the new category as
it appears in your Control Panel.]
Control Categories:
32-bit, Accessibility,
Add New Hardware, Add Slash Remove Programs, Date (Date Slash Time), Display,
Find Fast, Fonts, Game Controllers, Internet (Internet Options), Keyboard,
Mail (Mail and Fax), MegaDial, Microsoft Mail, Modems, Mouse, Multi-Function
Keyboard, Multimedia, Network, Passwords, Power, Printers, QuickTime,
Regional, Sounds, System, Telepath, Users, Wacom.
Note:
In Control Panel you can say "Go <Control Categories>"
to get to that category.
Change Start
Menu
*Desktop (Screen)/Icon/Local
(Item)/Start Menu Menu (Right) [These
give you access to Windows right click shortcut menus. For instance, "Desktop
Menu" right-clicks on the desktop right above the right hand corner of
the taskbar, and "Taskbar Menu" right-clicks on the taskbar at the extreme
lower right corner of the screen. Note that these macros won't work if
you don't have open desktop or taskbar in these areas when you're saying
the macro. Also note that you can usually go directly to the commands
on these menus with other voice commands.]
*Desktop (Screen)/Taskbar
Options (Properties) [These macros use the above right
click shortcut menu is to get you directly to the Desktop and Taskbar
Options windows.]
Window (System)/Document
Menu
Run Program
Find
<Explorer Files> * [This brings up the Windows
Explorer program open to the specified place.]
Explorer Files:
A, C, D, E, CD,
Zip, Desktop, My Computer, My Documents, My Images, NatSpeak, Download,
Macro Documentation, Global.
Drop List
Next/Last
Tab [This allows you to advance to the next
tabbed folder in a window. Many Properties or Options windows use tabbed
folders. (Say "Show options" in the NatSpeak, Word or other windows to
get to the options for those windows.) Note that this is not a Tab Key
command.]
Next/Last
1-10 Tabs
Check (Toggle)
Box/Radio Button (Radio) (Button) [This checks a
selected Box or Radio button. Note that it's usually more efficient to
say the word "Please" before the name of the Box or Radio Button to both
select a box or radio button and toggle the checkmark.]
Show Cursor
Please
Expand/Contract [This expands or contracts a folder
in a tree -- it literally presses the plus or minus sign on the keypad,
which is the same is clicking on the plus or minus sign to the left of
a folder.]
Please Expand
Up (Last)/Down (Next) [This contracts a highlighted
folder, goes up or down 1 line, then expands that folder.]
Form Address
Dummy
Text/Graph (Paragraph)/Line [This types three paragraphs,
one paragraph, or one line of text. This is useful if you need to generate
some random text quickly.]
Show
Date/Time/Date and Time [Any of these bring up Notepad
with the date and time posted.]
Message/Send
(Send All)/Send This (Send Selection) to
[This and the following set of macros work in conjunction with the
Eudora email Program. Both sets bring up Eudora. The "Message" commands
open a new message, the "Send" and "Send All" commands copy the full text
of what you are currently in and launch a new message. The "Send This"
and "Send Selection" commands do the same, but only copy what is selected.
The plain "to" commands let you select a nickname off a list, while the
<Nickname> commands below paste the Nickname on the to line of your
message, paste what has been copied to the body of the message, and then
put the cursor on the subject line.]
Message/Send
(Send All)/Send This (Send Selection) to
<Nickname>
[Note
that you must add your Eudora nicknames to this macro in order for it
to work. To do this, say "Edit Global Macro," "Press Angle s-e-n" and
select one of the <SendForward> commands. Once it's highlighted, say
"Press Enter," then "Next 3" to get to the list of nicknames. Add your
nicknames exactly as they appear in the Eudora Address Book to this list,
one to a line. Once you're done, say "Please Finish," to finish. Repeat
the above steps with the second <SendForward> commands and with the
two <SendForwardMessage> commands.
Note
that this and the above macro are Global, so they work in any program.
A similar set of macros works only within the Eudora program. These are
listed in the Eudora section. You must add nicknames to the Eudora macro
list separately for those macros to work. To do this, say "Eudora Macro,"
then "Down 3" to get to the same four <SendForward> and <SendForwardMessage>
Macros.]
