Wow, I am quite surprised there isn't a simple work around. The Mouse
Grid works (hadn't come across that before). It's probably time to look
at renaming the button.

Thanks for your input!

You could try using the MouseGrid command to focus in on the area where
the button is located, and then say "Mouse click." But this is tedious
at best, and is not a feature that all users will know about.

I was doing some testing using Dragon Naturally Speaking and was looking
at a webpage that had a button on it named "Close". When I said "Click
Close" rather than pressing the button, Dragon closed the web browser...
oops.

Presumably there must be a way of activating the button on the page
using Dragon. Does anybody know how?

Thanks!
