Thanks for all the valuable imfo James. I think I had better get good at the book reader before I start playing around with markers, but it might be helpful in book in the future. Thanks again. Terry Powers

I confirmed this with my M-power by going into a .brf document. I put three place markers in that document. So long as I was in that document, I could utilize the place markers. When I was about to close the document, I was advised that the document has been modified, save as a Keyword Document? If I were to type Y for yes, it would ask for the document name and it usually says the name of the original document without the .brf extention. If you except this filename, your document will be saved as a Keyword Document but you won't lose the original document. If you open the new Keyword Document, your place markers would still be there, ready to use. They wouldn't be in your old .brf document. If you should have a NLS E-book, keep the original files and save the volume you are reading as a Keyword Document. Put in a place marker somewhere in the document you are reading and when you exit the document, you will be asked whether you would like to save it as a Keyword Document. Once this is done, you can put up to 26 place markers in your volume that you are reading. If these aren't enough, you can delete the markers you no longer need and make new ones. When I'm editing a newsletter for brailling, I use place marker A for the contents and the rest of them indicate the beginning of the different articles in the newsletter. They are a big help when editing the newsletter for brailling. I did all of this in the word processor but think you can put in place markers in the book reader as well provided you are dealing with a Keyword document. If in the book reader and you are reading a .brf file, you will find that the place markers aren't supported in the .brf file but they are supported in the Keyword document. I think too one can use the translation menu to convert a .brf file to Keyword but I think by doing a simple modification of the document will get you what you might want more easily. There are so many ways to accomplish some things with a BN. It might be easier to modify the document in the Word Processor.
