[MV] Dictate - A Couple of Issues...

[david]

#1	what I find happening when I get those random words is	clearing my throat, hitting the mic or sudden intake of breath.

#2	I’m not familiar with text macros and obviously have never used them. So I really can’t respond to this.	

#3	I think what you’re running into here is an correct commands if you want to use a tab the proper command is “tab  key”, 
for a space the command is “space  bar”. For me to do the following sentence – I use the following commands   “space  bar” “dash” “space  bar”

I know you didn’t ask about the “tab  key” but I figure I’d toss it in at no charge.	;–}

As you can see the my tagline this whole e-mail response was type strictly using DragonDictate.

This is being typed using Dragon Dictate.  Dragon Dictate allows you to talk and the computer to type your words as you speak. Any arrows, I will blame on the soft wear. ;-)
 Have a great day

This is a new occurrence that I don't remember prior to this latest update. This is troublesome. Has anyone else experienced this?

Personally, I will always want spaces on either side of the character. In the vocabulary editor, I tried to create the character set that I wanted: SPACE-SPACE, hoping it would override the other one I said the word 'dash' but it does not seem to be working correctly. Any ideas how to get this working to override the dictate default?
