Selecting groups of cells in Microsoft Excel
Posted by Peter Maddern on 31st March 2009
When using Dragon NaturallySpeaking in both Microsoft Excel 2003 and 2007:-
To select 2 adjacent cells, select the first cell and then say “press shift Right Arrow “
To select 2 adjacent cells in the next row, you would then say “press shift down arrow”
To select a group of cells – say I wanted to select cells A2 to E6 in the following example:-
The command would be “select cell A2 to cell E6” or “select cell A2 through cell E6” or better still, use the international communications alphabet and say “select cell alpha two to cell echo 6”
If you want to practise using this command, I’d suggest writing the command down beforehand to read from as it can be a bit of a tongue twister!
