exit98hf.ddx [0.2E?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=gif] Dragon Systems Technical Support - File Library [0.6A78?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=gif] Category: DragonDictate Macros Brief Description: Exit Windows 98 by voice (DDWin 3.0 or higher) File Name: Exit98hf.ddx File Size: 5 KB Date Created: 8-24-98, (Modified on 9-10-98) Dragon Product: DragonDictate for Windows Product Version: 3.0 or higher Product Language: UK English, US English Operating System(s): Windows 98 Description: This macro import file adds voice commands to DragonDictate for Windows 3.0 (or higher) to do hands free exit and restart under Windows 98. Before you use the macros for the first time make sure Run Hands free is NOT checked under the Hands Free options (VoiceMenu | Options | Hands Free). This seems a bit counter-intuitive but it's necessary. Unsetting the Run Hands Free box suppresses a dialog box which interferes with the exit macros. Each time you execute one of the macros: 1. Close all open applications. 2. Revert back to the last saved version of your user files if you don't want to save the adaptations you've made since the start of the current session. This is necessary because ALL OF THE MACROS SAVE YOUR VOICE FILES. You can revert back to the last saved version by selecting Voice Menu | Users... | Restore... | Go to Last Saved Version. 3. Say the macro name. You can abort the action by saying No when the confirmation dialog comes up. Included macros: [Restart Windows] which restarts Windows 98 [Shut Down Windows] which shuts down Windows 98 [Restart in MSDOS Mode] which restarts in MSDOS Mode. How to modify the included macros so they will work when the "Run Hands-free" option is checked Example Original [Restart Windows] Macro MsgBoxConfirm "Do you really want to reboot your computer?",20,"Warning!" AppBringUp "Voicebar" SendSystemKeys "{Alt+v}u" SetMicrophone 0 SendSystemKeys "{Ctrl+Esc}" SendKeys "ur{Enter}" The "modified" [Restart Windows] Macro MsgBoxConfirm "Do you really want to reboot your computer?",20,"Warning!"

First make sure that the voice file into which you wish to import the macros to is the active one. 1. Select VoiceMenu | Tools | Vocabulary manager to start the Vocabulary Manager (or say "[Bring Up]", "[Vocabulary Manager]"). 2. Go to the Vocabulary menu and select "Import..." to bring up the Import Vocabulary dialog box. 3. Select the file called exit98hf.ddx (The location will depend on where you put it on your hard drive when you downloaded it). Once the path is correct, select OK. 4. If a warning dialog is displayed saying that "the vocabulary "XXXXXX" already exists", select "Yes" to merge the new macros into the existing vocabulary. 5. Select VoiceMenu | Quick Access | Save User to save your user files. This saves your voice files with the new macros which have just been added.
