Hi Muhammad,

I don't know of any way to list this kind of item but you may get some joy
using the Skim Reading feature and setting the attributes to the colour or
format of the text you've marked.  This would require you to have been
consistent in the way you highlighted the text and for it not to coincide
with other document text.

It would, once correctly set up,  then allow you to skim read through the
document only reading the bits that are marked in the specified manner.
This may not be what you are looking for.

Check out the feature anyway.

Jamie

Hi all,
In a large document of around 200 pages where I highlight various
chunks of texts for varying purposes. does anyone know how to open a
list of those highlighted chunks? or if any such list exist at all?
thanks in anticipation

Dear Jamie,
many thanks for this. a while ago, RNIB sent me the way how to do it,
because the file is for me only, therefore there is no copy rights issue.
However, I will give it a go. many thanks for this.

Hello Muhammad,

I'm assuming that this is a full text DAISY book that you want to
convert to a Word format, rather than a Type 2 DAISY book which is a
structured audio book with audio only?  There are actually 6 types of
DAISY book but the most common are Type 2 - structured audio and Type
4 - structured full text and audio.

If so, what I would suggest is that you have a look at the structure
of the book folder.  If it is a full-text book, there should be a
bunch of HTML files in this folder.  Broadly speaking, you should be
able to open these files and copy and paste the contents into a single
or multiple Word documents and create your Word versions that way.

However, first I should make mention of the copyright issue.  I think
you need to be careful on this score, especially mentioning it on list!!
(Smile)

Secondly, there may be various copy protections built into the book
which prevents you doing what I mention above.

Lastly, depending on how the book was put together, you may need to
open multiple files to copy them one at a time e.g. one per chapter
would be quite common, so it might take a while.

It's been some time since I messed with DAISY books but I hope this
helps.

Jamie
