Imagine that I am dictating into a RichTextBox field. I utter "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog". After a brief pause, I utter "bold quick brown". Dragon has some built-in command which recognizes this and just "does the right thing"; it has similar built-in commands for italicize and underline but not for strikethrough/strikeout.

I cannot figure out how to write a script which accomplishes "Strikethrough|Strikeout <dictation>". I've tried the obvious:

Sub Main

   Dim selection As String

   selection = "select " & ListVar1

   HeardWord selection

   Wait 0.4

   SendKeys "%s", 1

End Sub

"%s" is the accelerator for the "Strikethrough" item. If I utter "press alternate Sierra" or do the same with the keyboard (after selecting something "somehow") the selection is struck through.

The real question here is, how do I "select <dictation>" from within an Advanced Scripting macro?
