Scott:
The options in Book Port Transfer apply to files as they are sent. You
cannot, for example, make all files become line-oriented just by
flipping a switch.

The Sections tab was designed to allow you to enter your own section
markers. We provide some by default, but we can't anticipate every
situation. In ideal conditions, you would be able to find something
about the files you are sending which indicates a section, then add this
string to the section markers.

Note: only one section marker is ever used during one file transfer.
That is, the first marker found in the file is considered to be the
section marker for the rest of the file, regardless of the number of
section markers you have defined. You can sort the markers, because
preference is given to the markers highest in the list.

Hi,

Just received my bp.  Kudos to the designers!  A product that was ready
to 
arrive.  I see a great many uses for this little wonder.

Could someone answer some questions options and sections.

When using transfer program, do the options apply globally to all files
on 
bookport or only to each file?  For example, if the option for sections
is 
changed to advance section by section instead of page by page, does
that 
affect only files sent to bp at the time those options are in 
effect?  Would the use of advance by lines not by sentences also be per

file basis?

Also could someone clarify section markers.  Since advancing by
sections 
did not work in a long document (800+ pages) I assume the file has to
be 
prepared in some way for this.  Would I place text like _next article
where 
I want sections for example?

Knowing how to create markers to make documents easy to navigate is
very 
exciting after some thought.
Thanx for any suggestions,
