I’m glad to hear that it is working for you.

One note about the heading mark up, in html code, heading level 1 is always a 
large font, I think either 18 or 24 point font.  Then heading level 2 is 
slightly smaller and so on down to heading level 6.

If you want heading level one you put just one number sign in front of the line 
of text.

If you want heading level 2, you put 2 number signs, and so on.

So, you have some control over how large the font is and the ability to set 
major headings at level 1 and sub headings at level 2, etc.

 

I have no vision, so I can’t comment on the word finder screen.

 

Later,

Richard

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

 

Richard and Anna,

 

Thanks so much for sticking with me on this issue.

 

I exported my plain text document containing the five emails using Writer after 
first placing a pound/number sign on the first line of each email using 
Microsoft Word. Writer did recognize those pound/number signs for marking those 
lines as headings in my exported html document. When I opened this html 
document in Dropbox, I was able to easily swipe among the emails after placing 
my rotor on headings. I also liked the way Dropbox presented the exported html 
file with the heading lines in a larger font and the rest of it laid out as it 
would be when viewing with a word processor.

 

I do have one final comment about Writer. When I execute the word finder 
function, the screen presentation appears to be messed up. A horizontal menu 
bar appears in the upper right corner of the screen with the options to select 
definitions, phonetic search, and meaning search but below this bar where the 
document is displayed, it only appears in a vertical strip down about the left 
third of the screen. The other half to two thirds of the vertical screen below 
the menu bar is blank. The hide word finder button which is used to close out 
of this function is about an inch from the top of my phone to the left of 
center of the screen because of this messed up presentation. This is mainly 
just an inconvenience as I don't use my limited vision to work with Writer but 
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this same issue and the 
placement of the hide word finder button which was a bit of a mess the first 
time I encountered it.

 

I am running Writer 1.3.0 which I don't think is the absolute latest version 
which I think was recently upgraded to support iOS 9. Since I'm still running 
iOS 8.3, I did not bother to upgrade to this latest version.

 

Thanks again for all your help.

 

Alan

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

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.
