4.11.7 Place markers.
As with all other types of books, it is possible to use Place Markers in your DAISY book and these
are retained when the book is closed.
Place Markers, or bookmarks as are often called, are handy for a number of reasons including
keeping track of your progress as you read a book or the location of information you wish to find
again. For example, you are reading a book about dog breeds and are particularly interested in any
information on Poodles which are mentioned in Chapters 6, 8 and 24 of your DAISY book. Since
you are keen to re-read these chapters, you will add three Place markers to your book.
Place Markers are identified by the letters, A to Z.
To define a Place Marker, press READ with D, from any position in the book and enter a letter that
you wish to associate with that Place Marker, in this case, "P" for Poodles.
To jump to any defined Place Marker, press READ with P, followed by the identification letter for
that Place Marker.
4.11.8 Text Notes.
As well as being able to add Place Markers to a DAISY book, you also have the option of inserting
Text Notes. These can be just a few words, a sentence or a whole paragraph long. Text Notes allow
you to add notes to a DAISY book as you are reading it. This is a useful feature if you want to make
comments at a particular point in the book.
To insert a text note, press READ with SHIFT with N. Enter the identification number of the text
note that you want to insert and press ENTER. Try to use meaningful numbers if possible, for
example text note 1 could refer to chapter 1, text note 12 could represent chapter 12 or chapter 1;
sub heading 2. You can use any number between 1 and 9999. You then need to type the required
text and press ENTER.
To view a text note, press READ with SHIFT with N. Enter the identification number and press
ENTER. The text note will be displayed and you will be taken to the appropriate position within the
book. You have the option to edit the text if you wish and it will be saved when you press ENTER.
If there is no note for the number you have entered, a new one will be created for the current
position within the book.
To delete a text note, press CONTROL with 8. Upon doing so, the note will be deleted and you will
return to your position in the book.
4.11.9 Clipboard.
For DAISY books that contain text, the existing KeySoft clipboard functions are available for you
to use when you need to copy information from a DAISY book. See Block Commands 7.5 Block
Commands for further details.
