FYI
I seem to recall someone sending a note asking how to remove the office XP speech program. Here's how:
1. Insert the Office XP compact disc into the CD drive.
2. Left mouse CLICK on the 'Add/Remove Features' circle.
3. Left mouse CLICK the + sign next to 'Office Shared Features'
a. NOTE: This will show another bulleted list.
4. Left mouse CLICK the + sign next to 'Alternative User Input' 5. Left mouse CLICK on 'Speech' 6. Left mouse CLICK on 'Not Available' 7. Left mouse CLICK at the bottom of the window on 'Update'
---Now the SPEECH for Office XP is removed---
If you still have questions, you may contact me at the information listed below.
Best regards,
John Pedersen

At the time I last got feedback, no. But I haven't tested Dragon 6 with
XP's shipping version, so I can't say for sure.
