Voice Recognition: Dictation - Numeric Values

[LarryCallaway]

When I dictate numbers, spelled out numbers (like "one", "two", "three") are
entered into my document. How can I designate that i want numeric values to
be typed, instead (like: 1, 2, 3)?

I have obviously not been able to find how to do that. I want the ability
to indicate when i want the numbers spelled out and when i want the numeric
values to be entered.

Thanks.

Hi Larry,

If you're using MS's Dictation software rather than a 3rd party
package this is a feature that is not presently included.

Jus say "Force Num" and then the number.

Below is copied from Help in Word 2003"


5
five (numbers less than 20 are spelled out when inserted)
21
21 (numbers greater than 20 are inserted as digits)
first
first (ordinal numbers)
one half
1/2 (fractions)
five five five zero one eight seven
555-0187 (telephone numbers)
Tip

To dictate all numbers as digits, say "force num," pause briefly, and
then say "5."
