Endnote and Dragon question

Sarah:

I use all three programs (though I use Word 2007). What version of
Dragon are you using? Is it Standard or preferred? The preferred version
is much better.

Are you using Vista or XP?

My experience is that running all three at once can be problematic,
especially if you are working in longer documents. Endnote list members
have commented on this for Endnote, and this is a real problem for
Dragon. This is a bigger problem if you do not have sufficient memory on
your computer.

I have Vista and 2 meg of RAM, which helps a bit. It could be worth it
to install as much memory as you can in your machine. The other issue is
to try and work in smaller documents as much as possible.

There is a great discussion board for Dragon where people ask questions
and discuss issues. Dragon has many quirks, as you know. Go to the
Knowbrainer Forum (and then go to the Dragon page)

Best of luck,

Richard

Voice recognition software Endnote and Microsoft Word.
Does  anybody had experience running Dragon Naturally Speaking with EN
and MSWord?
I am using Dragon 9, EN X02 and MS Word 2003. 
I seem to be experiencing frequent computer freezes or crashes. I know
than EN is memory hungry as is Dragon. Are there any tricks to using the
3 software programs simultaneously ?
