Yup, its to do with focusing. Word, in general, is a pain in the ass,
and this is a classic example.
When you dictate, Word gets confused with where you should be, as the
insertion point is not the same as your relative position in text. For
example, if the insertion point is at the beginning of a doc, but you
dictate a full page, it will jump up and down until you change the
insertion point (ie, physically click the page)
A possible workaround theory for this, is to occasionally use the
'Insert before' or 'Insert after' command without inserting anything -
just to move the insertion point - randomly, on the lowest, or last,
segment of text your working on. Haven't tried this, but seems to work
in my head - let me know if it works out.
This also happens when you open a multipage doc in word (whether using
Dragon or not), immediately 'grab' the scroll bar, and move to a
segment. Word doesn't care about this, and will 'unravel' the multipage
doc it is opening, plonking you back at the beginning of the doc.
Grrrrrrrr

Subject: page jumps about when using Dragon
Anyone come across this syndrome? It happens when I'm dictating with
Dragon
10 Naturally Speaking version 10 into a Word 2007 document. The cursor
stays
in the right place but the page scrolls up and down in the Window in a
jerky
manner. Most annoying.
I'm suspecting that it might be something to do with Word 2007, which
has a
tendency to act weird at the best of times IMHO.
cheers
