TThanks so much Gary. I genuinely thank you for wharing all the info without amaking me look too crazy for what I wanted to do. But I guess for now I guess I will just go through the books and make the bookmarks ahead of time. Too bad a everyday cidizen couldn't get the software used by NLS and other companies putting out the dasy text/leisuure books. Thanks again.
