Seems to me, if one can understand how to set up a placemarker, then
one already understands how to edit a placemarker, because the steps are
exactly the same.

Aaron,
but wouldn't it really be possible to add some basic placemarker
functionality, that could be used by beginners or as mentioned by
children?
Just an additional marker, that only can exist once and is
automatically removed from the old position when the marker is set again?
This would allow children to just set the marker where they want
without editing or removing something.
Not as a replacement just as an additional marker?
Or isn't such a scenario possible?
(just my thoughts)
cheers,
Martin

Mike responded to this thread yesterday with the answer. Simple
select an existing placemarker from your list of placemarkers.
Once you do that, the information for that placemarker is
available for editing, just like you were creating a new one. This
functionality has been in place since the inception of placemarkers.

You are right. That was basicly my question to the list was,
"isn't there an easy way to do this".
I've read that section of the manual at least several times and
it hasn't told me what I wanted.
OK, here's a request for the next release of window-eyes. Can we
please have a new key stroke to quickly update a place marker?
Thanks,

hi if you review the section of the manual it will show how to
edit the place marker. I think you will find that in the ccase
you talking about removing and adding a new one is going to be
easyer but to each his own.

But that's just it. You don't take one marker out of a book and
put a new one in. You just move the marker you have already
from where you picked up, to where you left off.
The same should be true of window-eyes place markers. My client
is 8. She's not really interested in the mechanics of place
marking. I can teach her what the various options do, but she
isn't going to fool around with a two step process of emersion
into a dialog box just to mark her place in a book.
There has to be a better way.

why after all you set the new marker so you don't need the old
one. it is like taking one marker out of the book to put the
new one in. it is also the standard for markers in word set
the new one and delete the old oned.

I have one.
One of my clients is an 8 year old girl. I've just started
teaching her to read books on her braille display. She got a
book from the cnib library website, and off we went.
When it came time to stop reading I set her up a place marker.
when we went back later to read from where we left off, it
went fine.
I had a problem though because when I tried to update the
place marker for the new position in the book I couldn't
figure it out. So, any ideas about convenient ways to update
place markers?
Best,
Erik Burggraaf

hi place markers were introduced in window-eyes 7.0.
if you are using 7.11 still you should update to 7.2.
to learn more about place markers see section 19.15: Place
markers in the window-eyes manual. after reading this if you
still have questions let us know.

Hi list,
what is the place marker feature, and how does it work in
Window-Eyes? Is it available in 7.11?
