andrew! Oh, *thank you* so much!
your explaination was perfectly clear and it helps a bunch! I just didn’t have it in me this morning to fiddle with things to the degree that you did, I was just trying to get my reading done in my text book and do the book mark thing. I am saving your email to refer to later. The i text express to me seems very useful overall and I am useing it now instead of text edit or pages for reading my text books on the mac.
