Paul replied directly to me, without replying to the list, it seems. So, for completeness, he said: Yes, I use Dragon to "dictate" directly on the OO's word processing program. There are no intermediate steps whatsoever. That part of it is smooth as can be. (The snags come from the Dragon - I need to get more sophisticated at using the software but they are minimal at worst. I found some guy on the internet who's really into Dragon and he suggests just getting a better microphone and sound card to improve the accuracy of the transcribing process.) So as you said "that's good" !!!!! When setting up and installing Dragon I didn't even come across anything asking me to state what word management program I'm using - I just installed it and, after doing the initial set-up and training, started dictating by opening my different patient's files. No problems! I just finished an hour or so of work on Dragon and all went well. I have not tried to use Dragon to control menus yet - I'll let you know what I come up with whenever I give it a try. Give Dragon a try for yourself - I bought the bare-bones version (I think the fancier versions just have more trade-specific dictionaries and more form letters in them) for $99 from a retail office supply store. I hope this helps you and all other OO users - as you can tell I'm very pleased! Let me know if you have other questions, I'll be glad to help out.
