Please note the following:
If the document does not specify its
encoding, you can manually specify the encoding of the document's
text from the following supported encodings:
For a document that does not specify its encoding, iSilo™
assumes the windows-1252 Western European encoding. Only documents
in iSilo™ 4.x document format have the ability to specify
their own encoding, which would have been specified at conversion time.
If the document does specify its encoding, then this field
shows Specified by document and you can not manually specify
a different encoding. You can determine
the document's encoding through the
Document information dialog.
Note that proper support for the display of text in the chosen encoding
is necessary from the operating system or a third party program that
adds such support in order for iSilo™ to display the text.
Most systems support at least the windows-1252 Western European encoding.
Please note the following:
Please note the following:
The screen is divided into four tap regions. Each region's size
and action when tapped upon is configurable. The left part of the
Region tab page allows you to change the size of each region
and the right side allows you to change the scroll behavior for each
region when tapped.
Regions While dragging a separator line, it appears as a gray line
until you release it. Dragging a single separator line only changes
the division of space between the two regions that the line separates,
so you may have to change the position of more than one separator
line to get your desired region sizes.
Region Action Press a hardware button to see its name and current assignment.
By default, each button has no action assigned to it,
shown as "Default" in the Assignment field.
Each button can be mapped to any of the following actions:
Note: When the Up, Down, Left, and Right buttons have
assigned actions of Default, they perform default scroll actions
as described in the navigation
section of this manual. So if you change the assigned action
of any of those buttons, the corresponding buttons no longer have
the default scroll behavior.
Creating a new color theme Modifying a color theme Deleting a color theme Tap Done to assign the bookmark. Tap Cancel
to not add the bookmark.
If you add a bookmark and it has the same name as an existing
bookmark in the document, iSilo™ asks whether you want
to replace the existing bookmark. Tap Yes to replace the
existing bookmark with the new location. Tap No to not replace
the existing bookmark.
While autoscrolling, you can set the autoscroll speed to any
of 20 levels. To increase the speed, press the hardware down
button. To decrease the speed, press the hardware up button.
If your device has a jog wheel or jog dial, rotate down
to increase the speed and rotate up to decrease the speed.
Each increment increases the speed by one third.
Performing any action other than increasing or decreasing
the autoscroll speed stops autoscrolling. The easiest way
to stop autoscrolling without performing any other action
simultaneously is to tap on an inactive area of the screen.
If you use autoscroll often while holding your device in
one hand, you may want to consider
mapping one of the hardware
buttons to the autoscroll action. Pressing such a mapped
button starts autoscrolling while pressing it again stops
autoscrolling, providing a convenient way for starting
and stopping/pausing autoscrolling.
By default, autoscroll uses smooth scrolling. See
Scroll options to change the
autoscroll mode so that it scrolls a line at a time.
If you are in full screen mode, you can exit the mode in
one or more of the following ways:
When the tool bar is
hidden, you can activate it temporarily by holding the stylus down
in the lower left or lower right of the screen. The tool bar then
appears and you can drag the stylus to the tool bar command
you want to activate and then lift the stylus. To cancel the tool bar,
move the stylus outside the tool bar and then lift.
When in select mode, you select the text you want
to copy or annotate
and then invoke the corresponding command in the context menu that
appears after selecting the text.
To select text, drag the stylus across the range of text
to which you want to apply the command. Text in the selected range
appears highlighted to indicate the selection.
Also, while in select mode, on-screen tap and drag scrolling do not
work since you must drag across text on the screen to select it.
However, while dragging to select text, if you drag
to the top or bottom edge, then the text automatically scrolls in
the corresponding direction so that you can extend the selection
range in that direction. You can still use the other methods
for scrolling.
Note: If there was no previous search in the document in the
current session, then the icon does not appear on the tool bar.
Note: If the document has no named bookmarks defined, then the
icon does not appear on the tool bar.
