Richard,

 

Thanks for that further clarification about the heading markup.

 

I think I'll write Winston and report my issue with the word finder screen.

 

Alan

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

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.
