SYMPTOMS
The Office Assistant does not respond to a voice command to save the changes to your Word document.

For example, when you close a document in which you have made changes, the Save prompt will come up in the Office Assistant balloon. When you attempt to use the speech Voice Command feature to say &quot;Yes&quot; to save the changes to your Word document, the document is not saved and the Office Assistant does not respond.



CAUSE
Speech is not designed to allow complete &quot;hands-free&quot; control of your applications. In this instance, the Office Assistant balloon has the focus. The Office Assistant is not voice-enabled.



WORKAROUND
Select Save in the Office Assistant balloon using either your mouse or your keyboard.
