[MV] taking the plunge (2)

If I remember correctly, ViaVoice only analyzes plain text documents. So 
before you have it analyze your writting, you need to convert the 
documents to plain text. For most programs, this is an option in the Save 
As dialog. 

The one exception is ViaVoices own documents, which can be analyzed as 
they are saved, but only if everything is set up right. First you need to 
turn on "Analyze When Saving Documents" option in the SpeakPad 
preferences. But for the documents to actually be analyzed, you need to 
click on "Save dictation session information" when you save the document. 
Note that option only appears if you did some dictation.

Either way, once a ViaVoice document is saved, it can't be analyzed 
unless it's converted to plain text first, or the document is modified 
and resaved.

I hope this helps.
