Hi Brod,

The information on how to use the Speech Profile Import/Export
tool to create a .SPF file is in the link at the bottom
of the MS Knowledge Base article FAQ snippet that garfield-n-oldie
copied into a prior message.
from the MS Knowledge base article.

When you download the manager and double click it, it unpacks
a file named SPProfileMgr.exe. When you double click that you
should see a list of one or more Speech User Profile names that
match the ones in the Speech applet in the Windows control Panel
You can select one, choose [Export] and give the Profile a name
to use for saving. This creates the .SPF file, your backup.
To restore one later you run the SPProfileMgr.exe and [Import]
a profile copy.

The basic MS speech files are .dat files that have a file name
that starts with "SP_" and are generally located in

drive:\Documents and Settings\your username here\Application Data\Microsoft\Speech
and
drive:\Documents and Settings\your username here\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Speech

Note that the Profile Mgr is from the Windows Speech team and
is a 'use as is' (non Office) product.

FWIW, Dragon's current versions have additional features, languages
and capabilities not presently available in the U.S. English only
implementation for English language portion of the MS Office Speech
implementation. http://scansoft.com

Thank you Garfield. Trust me it WAS possible with the earlier versions.
When you altered the information it used to say it was saving it to such and
such a file and it was an easy matter to save the file to another location.
Now it just saves it but does not tell you where or how. I'm scared
something will go wrong and I'll have to go all through that tedious
re-education routine.

Sad it has been changed.

Thanks anyway.
