  Step 1:  Open New Contact

Open a Report
Turn on your ViaVoice microphone. From your Windows desktop say, "Create a new contact". Your Microsoft Outlook contact window will be displayed.
  Step 2:  Dictate Name Field

Open a Report
Say, "Full name" to move the insertion point to the Full Name field. Say, "Dictate Directly" to turn on direct dictation. Once activated, Dictating direction will appear in the taskbar status area. Begin dictating the name. The information will be typed into the Name field. When you have finished, say, "Stop Direct Dictation".
  Step 3:  Use Natural Commands

Open a Report
You can use a Natural Command to insert text into fields in Microsoft Outlook. For example, say, "The company is Acme Trading". The text, Acme Trading, will be typed into the Company text field.
  Step 4:  Move to Next Field

Open a Report
Say, "Address" to move to the Address field. You can also say, "Next field", to move from field to field in a dialog window. Enter the address using direct dictation.
  Step 5:  Dictate Phone Number

Open a Report
Say, "Her home phone is 555 dash 1212". The phone number you dictate will be typed into the Home field next to the phone icon. You can also say, "Next field", to move from field to field in a dialog window and then use direct dictation to enter the information.
  Step 6:  Other Information

Open a Report
Say, "Next field" to move to the text field at the bottom of the window. Use direct dictation to enter information about your contact person. When you have finished, turn off direct dictation. Say, "Stop direct dictation".
  Step 7:  Save and Close

Open a Report
Say, "Save and Close" to save the new contact information and exit out of the application.
