I have successfully created macros for a non standard windows 3rd party dental charting application which enables me to speak only numbers when entering into the charting system. All of the numbers work perfectly as I set them up to simulate spoken text such as “Press 1” so I do not have to keep saying the word “press” for each entry. The problem I have run into (and it seems to be a new problem which did not occur when I first set it up) is the number “two” is automatically opening the “show numbers” control overlay. I have even replaced the macros thinking maybe it had gotten corrupt. My question is how can I turn off the “show numbers” function when I am simply trying to say “Press 2”. If I say "Press two" it does insert the actual number two properly without the macros, so the command is working by itself. I think it is a matter of turning off the show numbers function for that particular entry. This is not occurring with any of the other numbers all of them appear to be working properly except for the number two which seems to have some hidden command attached to it. I also can not tell how to identify what the command looks like so it can be fixed, it appears to be hidden.

Here's a couple of ideas...
* Try saying "numeral 2" instead of "Press 2." (This "numeral" trick works with any number, by the way.) This forces WSR to enter a number 2 rather than to, two, or too.
* If you really want the macro to work, try raising the priority of the macro by making its opening <command> like this:
This raises the priority of the macro so that WSR will be more likely execute it compared to doing something else. Priority can be 0 to 127, with 0 being the lowest and 127 the highest.
I hope this helps.

Russ, I believe your suggestion to say 'numeral 2' will work well and points to the direction. However I do not believe its possible to raise the priority of a 'user' level macro to that of those processed by the WSR system. I also do not think its possible to disable the 'core' functions of WSR like 'show numbers' or override them. Your best bet here is to use alternate commands that do not conflict with the WSR system ones.
