Hello Melissa and all. These are great suggestions. In fact as I write this, I am not really writing. I am actually dictating. Yet on my punctuation is in there correctly. If you want more suggestions on how to use punctuation and dictation in general, do a Google search for Dragon dictation suggestions. You might even include the word punctuation. Also, sometime last year I believe I sent the list the web address where I get a lot of my dictation tips for them. I hope this helps someone. Period.
