Rusty, it does seem you have helped me solve my problem too. I am trying to
work with a 6 CD set from RFB&D in which the author makes frequent page
references both forward and backward (Barzun's From Dawn to Decaddance.).
And yes, there are other problems. For instance, I'm not getting as much
section and subsection help as I expected. Is there anything special which
has to be done to get Book Port to recognize a Daisy book? Even the page
numbers are missing from the Daisy book I have entered into Book Port.
I am in the discovery process as I write this message. The missing page
numbers are very discouraging. To my mind, it means that I will not be able
to work on "text books" in Daisy format when away from my computer.
I would appreciate learning how you are handling Daisy books on the Book
Port.
Sincerely,
Hi folks,
This morning I attached my bp to my computer. My ame was to try and get the
two halves of a 550 mb daisy file in one directory so I could flip from
chapters in the front, to example material in the back of the book.
Previously I had tried to put both halves in the same directory, but, since
the bp software doesn't allow that, the first half was erased by the second
half.
So, I connected the bp and opened up windows explorer.
I went in and found the second half of the book. I renamed the files,
leaving the extentions in tact, but adding a B to the end of the initial
file name. Then I moved those files, placing them in the same directory as
the first half of the book.
It works like a stiff drink on a cold night! Just the thing!
BP reports the filenames correctly--that is that it tells me the name of the
daisy book and the page numbers asociated with that particular file. The
file name change does not seem to affect the operation at all. I can quickly
flip back and forth between files and things are good!!!
Have fun! Rusty
