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.

 

Alan Lemly

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.
