Distinguishing markers
Some of my documents have Index markers, Reference markers, and other markers all located such that you cannot see more than a single marker on the screen. The central way to determine how many markers there are is to count how many times the cursor fails to move each time you press an arrow key. Is there a way to make the markers display distinctly so you can distinguish them, if only temporarily? Please CC: me off list as well as on-list.

RE: Distinguishing markers
Hi Doug, The easiest way to do this is to move the overlapping markers so that there is space between them. Cut and paste one marker at a time to a different location, even if it is only one letter away from the other existing markers. To do this, you must be displaying text symbols (View menu Text Symbols). Make sure you have only one marker selected when you cut and paste.

However, if the Marker window is open when your cursor is on a marker, the type of marker will be displayed in the Marker window. If you have IXGen, you can expand (display) or collapse the text content of markers by marker type. If you don't have IXGen or another marker-management plug-in, you should buy one; it'll pay for itself the first time you use it.

Re: Distinguishing markers
There are a few plugins that will expand the markers in place, but MarkerTools lets you select multiple markers at once (or the whole file) and browse through them one at a time or filter on a specific marker type and get the total count of marker selected. (In addition to other useful features). http://leximation.com/tools/info/markertools.php You can see all available marker-related plugins (currently 10) in our Tool Search database .. http://leximation.com/toolsearch/?kwds=marker Cheers, ...scott Scott Prentice Leximation, Inc. www.leximation.com +1.415.485.1892 Stuart Rogers wrote: Doug wrote: Some of my documents have Index markers, Reference markers, and other markers all located such that you cannot see more than a single marker on the screen.
