Dragon Professional 16 and LibreOffice

Nuance claims that Dragon 16 works with the 32-bit version of LibreOffice: Working with LibreOffice

I upgraded to Dragon 16 two days ago, but can’t get Select-and-Say to work in LibreOffice. I am using the 32-bit version of LibreOffice, 7.4.6.2 (x86). I suspect that I need to make some sort of modification to the nsapps.ini file, but I can’t find any documentation of this anywhere.

Has anyone gotten Dragon 16 to work with LibreOffice? One sophisticated user I know reports that in LibreOffice Dragon shows the green light indicator, which supposedly means that Select-and-Say is working, but he can’t get it to work. He also reports that Dragon 16 works with the current version of Apache OpenOffice

Thank you. I will be careful about double posting

Having said that, I really doubt that the issues Dragon 16 has with LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice are overlapping, for several reasons. First, Nuance markets Dragon 16 as being compatible with LibreOffice, but not OpenOffice. Second, for many years OpenOffice and Dragon were compatible, up through version 4.1.6 of OpenOffice. Third, there seems to be a DLL file dedicated to OpenOffice in Dragon 16, but no such file for LibreOffice. Finally, one person has told me that Dragon 16 has worked for him with OpenOffice but not LibreOffice.
