Sounds like a good idea, but it also sounds like another exhausting and
frustrating expedition into learning, that is, learning how to use the word
processing software. I am currently using wordpad. In a message dated 7/20/2008

Hi, Roger.
Congrats on all your progress with the computer, that's really very good.
Regarding leaving a bookmark, I'm sure there's probably a "computer" way of
doing it,
but I just do it like this. When I've been working and I decide I'm done, I
type three
ampersands, like this: &&&. You can use percentage signs, your own name,
anything
that is unlikely to actually show up in the book. Then I save my document
and close down
the word processing software.
When I'm ready to start again, I open up the document I want to work on, and
"Search"
for &&& and it goes directly to where I was -- mid-sentence, at the start of
a paragraph or
page, just wherever I was when I typed them before I saved the document.
Can you try that?
Hugs,
Marilyn

First, let me tell you about some progress I have made in ameliorating my
technological illiteracy. As I mentioned earlier everything I know about using
a computer I have learned by sitting down at the keyboard and teaching
myself. Okay, there has been a little on line help like I received here. As I
also
mentioned earlier, before I tried out Bookshare.org I had never downloaded or
uploaded a document. The only downloads I had ever done were some software
and some software updates. Well, I have for some time now been reading some
Project Gutenberg books on line because I had no idea how to download them.
However, now that I have learned how to download Bookshare books I wondered if
my newfound knowledge would help me at Project Gutenberg. Well, I just went
there and downloaded a book. It was surprisingly easy and I felt like I should
have been doing that a long time ago.
Now I have a question. After having had some trouble submitting the first
book I validated I am now working on another one. I , of course, cannot finish
the whole thing in one sitting, but every time I go to my documents on my
computer and open the book I find myself at the beginning. I have been coping
by
noting the page I am on when I quit and arrowing up until I get to the
beginning and then type in the number of the page I left off on. That number
will,
of course, be deleted before I submit it. The problem is that when I open up
the book again and am reminded of the page number it is a bit time consuming
to find it again. I just arrow down until I come across it by stopping and
checking now and then and, Of course, arrowing up again if I overshoot. Do you
guys have any suggestions about how to more efficiently mark one's place?
