Hello Eleanor,

When I use Cmd-f to find text, I click the Done button and I’m back in the 
text with the first result of the Find highlighted. To find the next 
occurrence, I press Cmd-g and the next one is highlighted. As far as I know, 
all Mac Find commands use the letter ‘g’ to go straight to the next 
occurrence.


Cheers,

Anne

In relation to your first question the quick and dirty method of

I use in all Word Processor programs  is to simply type in ***  as the
bookmark marker.  I delete this after use or save it if I want multiple
bookmarks. I simply use the find command to locate this string the next 
time

I want to jump straight there. I find this quicker and easier than any
inbuilt bookmark facility and even where these exist I prefer to use my

In relation to verbosity I would suggest experimenting with setting your

know if it will do what you want but I find it a more convenient and less

Hi All, 2 questions here for you.
First off if I am reading in continuous mode and the document is long, say 
a


chapter of a book, then after 40 minutes I press Ctrl to stop the reading.
I am wondering if it is possible to put a marker at this point in the
document so that next time I open it, I can go directly to where I stopped
the reading.
Second question is about verbosity.  In a text book there are for example
many bullett points and Tables too, now is there a way to reduce verbosity
so as not to have all this additional information regarding formatting 
read
out?  At present I have not made any alteration to my verbosity because as 
a


beginner I have just left the setting on its default.

Subject: Reading A Document in Pages

Hi All, 2 questions here for you.
First off if I am reading in continuous mode and the document is long, say a

chapter of a book, then after 40 minutes I press Ctrl to stop the reading. 
I am wondering if it is possible to put a marker at this point in the 
document so that next time I open it, I can go directly to where I stopped 
the reading.
Second question is about verbosity.  In a text book there are for example 
many bullett points and Tables too, now is there a way to reduce verbosity 
so as not to have all this additional information regarding formatting read 
out?  At present I have not made any alteration to my verbosity because as a

beginner I have just left the setting on its default.
