You can bookmark your books by using Ctrl/Shift/K. Once you use that command, you pick your bookmark or place a bookmark. It is very easy to do.

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>

Thanks so much. I was quite happy to use the html file. It's sitting in my documents and I can open it and read it. It's just finding where I left off tat's a problem.

I may ask John tomorrow.

Hi, Miriam. 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.

HI List,

My name is Miriam and I am just learning how to use Bookshare.  I
downloaded a book.  There are an html file and a .opf file.  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?
