# Express Editor Window

The Express Editor window has full text control capabilities, which means you can mix typing and talking and still be able to edit text.

Say Open (or Show) Express Editor to open the Express Editor Window, which floats above the frontmost application. You can dictate into the Express Editor and then click the Transfer button or say Transfer to move the text to the application. Any text formatting, such as bold or italics, will also be transferred, as long as the target application supports such formatting.

The Express Editor's title bar shows you which application is the target one for the text; it changes as you switch between applications, and as you do so, the Express Editor window remains on top. You must place the cursor in a field within an application, such as in a Pages document, for its name to appear in the title bar.

The Express Editor window automatically closes after you transfer text from it to the target application. You can also say Close (or Hide) Express Editor or click the X in the upper left of the window to close the Express Editor. Any text still in the window when you close the Express Editor will reappear the next time you summon it.

If the Express Editor window is open when you quit Dragon Dictate, it will reopen the next time you launch the software.
