The autoformatting rules, also referred to as post-processing rules, determine how text is to appear in finished reports. You can change the default settings for these rules to fit your organization’s standards. The Speech Formatting dialog box allows you to set formatting rules for your entire facility. Users to whom you have granted the Allow Dragon Formatting Dialog dictation preference can also set their own rules.
To set the autoformatting rules:
1. In the Setup group, select the Speech tab.
2. Click Edit Formatting Options. The Speech Formatting dialog box opens.
3. Set the options on the General; Capitalization; Numbers, Units and Dates; Abbreviations; Section Headings; Vertebrae; and Miscellaneous tabs. On each of these tabs, the green, bracketed text at the far right next to each option shows the default value; True means checked, False means unchecked. Where the option name is shown in bold text, you have changed the value from the default.
You can print and refer to this convenient check list to set up your autoformatting rules in accord with your facility's standards.
TIP: To set all the values on a tab to ‘True’, click Check All. Likewise, select Uncheck All to set all the values on the currently selected tab to ‘False.’ Click Restore Defaults to set all values to their original defaults.
4. Click Save and Close to save your changes. The users will see the changes after their next login.
