After a format-related correction, DNS presents the Smart Format Rules box – then the user can: –Just keep dictating (or say “cancel”), or –Choose a rule: say “choose n”.

Users can still change settings proactively in Auto-Formatting dlg and Word Properties dlg. –What’s enabled there determines whether the SFR box will be triggered and what rules it will offer. –SFR helps user get to a point where they have all the settings they typically want (users can always make exceptions in their dictations). –If settings are already “curated”, the SFR box will rarely/never appear. Note –Also appears if correction was done by overtyping in the document. –Can be turned off from Correction tab of Options dlg.
