Well, I don’t think Writer works that way.

I’ve tried a few times to use the rotor set to headings and it doesn’t seem to 
work.

 

But, if you double tap on show outline, and use the cursor buttons within 
Writer, you can more easily navigate the document.

 

You could export as html and put the file somewhere that you would be able to 
double tap on it so it opens in Safari where the rotor headings would work.

 

HTH,

Richard

Subject: Re: Putting Headings in a Document - Help Needed

 

Richard,

 

I've copied the text of five separate emails into a Word document and I want to 
mark the first line of each email so that when I open the file in Writer or 
wherever, putting the rotor on headings and doing a single finger swipe up and 
down will jump to the first line of each message.

 

Anna had said I could place a number sign at the beginning of the first line of 
each of these messages and Writer would treat each of those lines as a level 1 
heading. Two number signs would mark the line as a level 2 heading and so 
forth. 

 

I just want to ensure that I mark the number sign correctly and save the file 
so that when I open it with Writer or Dropbox or whatever, that the rotor 
headings function does what I want.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Alan

hi Alan,

No worries about the questions, we all started at the same place.

Writer only opens txt files.

But, you can export to several different formats.

Now, most of the time I have done the markup in Writer, so entering the number 
signs before the headings, etc.

I find using a bluetooth keyboard because that is easier.

Maybe it would be helpful if you explained more about what you are trying to 
accomplish.

I may have missed a piece.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Anna and Richard,

 

I told you I was a neophyte with Voice Dream Writer so go easy on me with these 
newbie questions.

 

I think I already knew that Writer is only able to open plain text files but 
can you confirm this? Also, I assume I have to place those pound signs which 
mark a line as a heading using Writer itself. Doing that with Microsoft Word 
before saving the document as txt and opening it in Writer did not have the 
same effect. Do I simply key in the pound signs in Writer using the on screen 
keyboard number sign or is there a special tool to do this?

 

Finally, does Writer only import and export txt files or can it do anything 
with any other file formats?

 

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi alan,

 

One option would be to use Voice Dream Writer on your phone. Then you would 
save the document as text and put a single number sign/hash symbol, whatever 
you want to call it, before any line that you wanted to be level 1, two at the 
beginning of any line you want to be level 2, etc. Voice dream Writer has 
commands to move to the next and prior headings.

 

Best,

Anna

Hello List,

 

I've got five emails that I've pasted into a Microsoft Word 2002 document. Each 
email is pretty much just free-form text consisting primarily of the body of 
the message.

 

What I want to do is mark the opening line of each of these messages so that 
when I save the file and open it on my iPhone 6 using the most appropriate app, 
I'll be able to put the rotor on headings and swipe to the first line of each 
message.

 

Can anyone suggest the best way to go about doing this? I tried putting the 
Word document in Outline mode, marking each email first line as Level 1 with 
all the other lines in the document marked as body text. When I then saved this 
outlined document as a filtered html file, Dropbox told me there were no 
headings present when I tried using the rotor to swipe to them.

 

So now I'm back at the drawing board and entertaining any suggestions to 
accomplish what I'm trying to do. How do other list members "mark up" Word 
documents to put headings in them which are accessible by the rotor?

 

Thanks in advance for any help.
