No preconfigured MS Word commands?

    Hi, I was pretty certain that MacSpeech built commands for MS Word (along with Mail, iCal, et al) but they don't seem to be loaded in my profile. When I try to dictate in Notepad then cut/paste, the Global commands seem to either not work or be confused. How can I find the ready-made commands for MS Word, if they exist?

    Thanks,
    La Tricia

    I was browned off when commands for Letter writing weren't easily supplied. What you have to do is select the commands you wish to use from Mail, iCal etc and create global commands for them.Why they don't supply all these I don't understand. You have to create your own commands like "Turn Bold On " ("Turn Bold Off") by copying the equation for "Make Selection Bold".
    I had a lot of trouble creating the command "Save As" for use with MSWord2008 but thanks to another contributor we sorted this out
