when I close a book I use the jaws find that is control f. If there is something in there I back space over it and I put what page it says in there if you listen when you are reading it says the page that you are on sometimes or chapter you are at when you bring up the jaws find y be sure that box is empty and then you put the page or chapter in there and then you tab over to find and space and see if it says what you put in there, Amber ----- Original Message ----- From: "Miriam Vieni" <miriamvieni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Your question is a good one. I think the problem is that very few of us use the Victor software. Until recently, it wasn't stable under Windows XP, and many of us haven't taken the time to learn it now that it is available. I think most of us got used to reading daisy books by either using a program like Kurzweil or we just load the HTML file into our browser. In the browser, you can use control f for the find function to look for specific text. I know I'm not helping you very much with the VictorSoft program. I imagine that it has a menu item to open a file and that it would let you browse to the folder where your Bookshare file is located. If you don't get a more definitive answer soon, I would suggest contacting John Glass at support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx . He is both nice and knowledgeable. He knows the VictorSoft program much better than I do, and he will treat both you and your question with respect.

I was told by someone that I can use the .opf file with Victor Reader Soft. Victor Reader Soft is on my computer. However, I don't know how to get this file into it. When I open Victor Reader, I just get the manual and the short, getting started manual. I don't know how to get to a dialog box that will get the book into the bookshelf. I'd use the html file, but then, how does one navigate. How do you skip, or find your place when you've stopped reading?
