On the Rememberance of Cursors Lost
Submitted by Dan Lufkin on Tue, 05/01/2007 - 14:21.
Quite a while ago I brought up the subject of losing the cursor in Word. I recall that it was called "losing focus" when it came up for discussion on one of the DNS sites several years ago. It happens mostly on docs larger than 10-15 pages and can be cured temporarily by closing DNS and restarting. I've never seen it happen in Dragon Pad, which I usually use if I don't need tables. I have 960 MB of RAM and run DNS 9.10 SP1 under Windows XP and Word 2003 SP2.
As I've remarked before, I use DNS every day with outstanding results. This cursor stuff is a minor annoyance and I just wonder how widespread it is and what (if anything) can be done about it. More RAM perhaps? Some tweak in Word?
Appreciate any comments,
Dan

There is abundance of information on various speech recognition forums about this subject matter. It has nothing to do with RAM. It's a loss of focus internal coding issue that typically occurs within Microsoft Word. It can only be fixed by Nuance but as we have mentioned on numerous postings; there are a couple of workarounds. If you are using KnowBrainer 2006 you can substitute Take < 1-9 > for NaturallySpeaking's limited choose < 1-9 > command and you will never see the problem rear its ugly head. If you are not using KnowBrainer, after you make a correction you can press {Alt+Tab} twice to produce the same effect. Another way to avoid the problem entirely is to cease using Spell That correction. The problem doesn't show up with Select-&-Say correction which has the advantage of being 3 times faster. The disadvantage of Select-&-Say correction is not being able to spell or type the correction.
