It's me again, what is the "pick page"? Are you telling me that I need to
train with voice recognition on other programmes first? I have got MS office
PowerPoint Viewer 2007, will dictation work in this? I guess I'll have to try
it.

If I downloaded MS Word, would dictation work in this? sorry for all the
questions, but I am new at this. thanks again.
