Rob, Got it! Thanks. Is there any plan to allow the user to set up
more than one level of navigation. Perhaps the user could have a choice
between what you have now and another choice which basically says that
if the Book Port finds a section break that is in the first list
position in the section break dialog, this would be handled as the major
heading which would be reached with 1+4 or 3+6. The next item in the
list would determine the sub section break reached with 4+7 and 6+9.
That sounds like a lot of changes to be made to make this possible and
it's very nice the way it is. However, if I knew I wanted to read
certain files I created on the Book Port, I could always make good use
of the search and replace in word to basically tag the document in
question in the way that matches the settings I have created in the
section dialog.
Thanks.
Neal

You almost have it but... The only section break that is enforced is the
first matching break found. It may or may not be the first one in the
list. It may be, for example, the third break. The reason you can move
the section breaks around is so you can control the precedence of the
breaks.

Rob, I just read your message again and after playing around, here is
what I believe. Please correct me if I am incorrect.
The only section break that is enforced in the file transfer to Book
Port is the one at the top of the list. The others are in the list so
that one can easily move them around and use them for section breaks if
one wants to change what the section break is. What had me confused is
that I knew that the Book Port only went down two levels deep in headers
or sub headers, so I thought that it would be the first two section
break criteria in the list that would be enforced. As I understand it,
however, it is only the first one that is used in the current file
transfer. Right or wrong? Neal

Neal:
It doesn't quite work the way you are thinking. HTML files are not
treated specially, no matter the quality of their markup. The reason our
manual works is because it is a Digital Talking Book. These do transfer
with markup.
The Sections tab of the Options dialog works a little differently as
well. You do not choose a section tag in this dialog; you add and remove
section tags. The first section tag found in a document is used. So, if
your HTML files have recurring text, you could add your own section to
the section tag list, and you would get better navigation. (It was done
this way so you can have sections in text
files.) Note: the first section tag is considered first; that is why you
can move them around in the list.

I was certain, when I had the Book Port connected to my work computer,
that when I was in an html file on the computer and pressed the
applications key and selected sent to book port, that I could press the
3 and 6 keys when reading a file on the Book Port and go to the next
header in the html file. Now, at home, it is not working. I transfer
the files in the same way and when I press the next section keys, it
just beeps. The section tab has the sections set to "New article," or
something like that, and none of the other examples in the list seem to
be anything that might work in an html file. =20 When I am reading the
book port manual, I can, in fact, go to next sections and those sections
seem to be the actual headers in the html file. But somehow, I can't
get this to work any more when I transfer other well tagged html files
to the Book Port. =20 Can anyone help? =20 Thanks. Neal =20
