to display the menu bar. The menu icon is the bottom silk screen
icon on the left side of the Graffiti® writing area. If your
device has a virtual Graffiti® area, then the menu icon is
an icon drawn by the device. Furthermore, in this case, if you
collapse the virtual Graffiti® area, then the menu icon appears
along the bottom of the display.
Note: The Copy command is also available in the context menu that appears immediately after you select text.
Note: The Annotate command is also available in the context menu that appears immediately after you select text.
Select File dialog
If you have not yet associated an annotations file for the
document, then after invoking the Annotate command,
iSilo™ asks you to first select a file for the document's
annotations, which may be a new file or an existing annotations file.
In this case, you get the Select File dialog with a default name
for the annotations file and with a default location set to the same
location as the document. You can accept the default name and location
or enter a new name and/or select a different location. The
annotations file is separate from the document so that you can
copy it elsewhere, use it with the document on another platform
version of iSilo™, or provide it to another user
of the document, among other possible uses.
The default suggested name for the annotations file is the same as the document file name, but with a .isa file name extension. If you do not add a file name extension up to four characters, iSilo™ automatically adds the .isa extension after you tap OK to the dialog.
After tapping OK in the Select File dialog, one of the following cases will apply:
Annotation dialog
The Annotation dialog provides the following three fields
for annotating text:
Tap Cancel to not add the annotation and return to the document.
Tap OK to add the annotation and return to the document. The background of the annotated text appears in the selected annotation color. When not in Select Mode, holding the stylus down on any part of the annotated text shows the comment for the annotation and the commands View/Edit and Delete. Use View/Edit to modify any of the comment, color, and text fields of the annotation. Use Delete to delete the annotation with confirmation.
Only one annotation can occupy a given range of text. This means that any portion of an existing annotation that overlaps the new annotation range is removed from the existing annotation. If you add an annotation that completely overlaps any existing annotation, that existing annotation will be automatically deleted. If the new annotation overlaps the middle of an existing annotation, the existing annotation is automatically split into two annotations with identical comment, color, and text fields.
You can also create, rename, and delete categories. See Categories in the section on file operations accessed through the file context menu for more information about doing so.
If the creator of the document added title, author, and publisher information to the document, then tap More to view this information. Tap the individual Title, Author, and Publisher pushbuttons along the top to view the corresponding information. If the document does not have the corresponding information, the dialog displays "No information" to indicate this.
Tap Add 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.
Edit Bookmarks
Use Edit Bookmarks on the Marks menu
to activate the Edit Bookmarks dialog to perform any of the
operations described below. In the Edit Bookmarks dialog, you
can select the bookmark type on to
which to perform the operations by selecting from the Type
popup list.
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.
Full Screen
Use Full Screen on the Tools menu to activate full screen mode
so that the content display uses the entire screen. In addition
to using the menu command to activate full screen mode, you can also
assign a button to activate
full screen mode.
In full screen mode, the title bar, scroll bar, and tool bar are hidden. If the menu silk screen icon is available, you can still use it to access the menu bar. You can tap in the lower left or lower right corner to temporarily activate the tool bar. When you exit full screen mode, the title bar, scroll bar, and tool bar return to the hidden or shown state they were in before you entered full screen mode.
If you are in full screen mode, you can exit the mode in one or more of the following ways:
The dialog also shows the amount of free internal memory and the total amount of internal memory. Dynamic memory is the working memory that a running program has available for direct use while storage memory is the memory used for database storage.
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 Document specified 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. See Font Silo™: supported text encodings for more information on using Font Silo™ with various text encodings.

Note: Settings you make in the Interface Options dialog
only affect the current document. If you check the
Also set as defaults checkbox, future documents that you have

options settings. Documents currently in the document list which
you have already opened in the past retain their existing settings.
Regions While dragging a separator line, it appears as a dotted 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 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.
Note: The Rotate menu item appears only if the
device has support for screen rotation (i.e., HandEra® 330).

with Palm OS® 3.5 or later.
You can hide the tool bar by changing the
interface options. When the tool
bar is hidden, you can activate it temporarily by tapping in either
the lower left or the lower right of the screen. When you do so,
the tool bar appears allowing you to tap on an icon. To cancel the
tool bar, tap anywhere outside the tool bar.
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 Find Again icon does not appear in the tool bar.
Note: If the document has no named bookmarks defined, then the
Bookmarks icon does not appear in the tool bar.
Note: If there is no previous location in the jump history,
then the Back icon does not appear in the tool bar.
Note: If there is no next location in the jump history,
then the Forward icon does not appear in the tool bar.

and the right side allows you to change the scroll behavior for each
region when tapped.
A tap region can range in size from 10% to 70% of the total height
used to display text. You can change the sizes of the regions by
dragging up or down the horizontal lines that separate the regions.
The region actions determine the scroll behavior when the region
is tapped. These are the available actions:
