This page has information about the commands available
in the Menu, accessed with the Left Selection key.
Press the Right Selection key to close the current document
and return to the document list view.
For information on navigating through a
document, see navigation.
The read view Menu has the following items:
Marks
Use Marks on the Menu to access the Marks sub-menu
that has the following commands:
Back
Use Back on the Marks sub-menu to
go to the previous location in the
jump history.
By default, the Clear key is also assigned to this action.
Note: If there is a previous location in the jump history, the location bar shows a left-pointing arrowhead. So if the location bar does not show the left-pointing arrowhead, using the Back command does nothing.
Note: If there is a next location in the jump history, the location bar shows a right-pointing arrowhead. So if the location bar does not show the right-pointing arrowhead, using the Forward command does nothing.
By default, the Action key is also assigned to the action showing the Bookmark list.
Note: If the document has no named bookmarks defined, then the Bookmarks command does nothing.
Select Add to assign the bookmark. Select 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. Select Yes to replace the existing bookmark with the new location. Select No to not replace the existing bookmark.
By default, the '0' key is also assigned to this action.
By default, the '*' key is also assigned to this action.
Note: If the current page is page one, then the Previous page command does nothing.
By default, the '#' key is also assigned to this action.
Note: If the current page is the last page of the document, then the Next page command does nothing.
By default, the '1' key is also assigned to this action.
You can also create, rename, and delete categories. See Categories in the section on file operations in the document list view for more information about this.
Use Left and Right on the 4-way scroll key to move to the next
and previous option tab, respectively.
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.
Please note the following:
Please note the following:
The Button/Key field allows you to select a key to which
to assign an action from the Assignment field.
The following shows the default button action assignments:
Note: On some devices, some of the above keys may not
be assignable and thus not work as listed above.
Each button can be mapped to any of the following actions:
Note: When Up, Down, Left, and Right 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 Note: If there was no previous search in the document in the
current session, then the Find again command does nothing.
While autoscrolling, you can set the autoscroll speed to any
of 20 levels. To increase the speed, press Down on the 4-way
scroll key. To decrease the speed, press Up on the 4-way
scroll key. 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 press the Action key.
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:

Note: If you are viewing a document in iSilo™ format,
changing the Default family font will likely not do anything since
content in such documents generally specify some font. So to actually
effect a change in the fonts used for documents in iSilo™
format, you will want to modify one or more of the Serif, Sans Serif,
and/or Monospace family fonts, depending on which are actually used
by the document.
Color
Use the Color tab in the Options dialog to select and edit color themes.
Selecting a color theme forces all text and background colors
of the current document to those of the selected color theme.

To modify a color theme, first select the name of the color theme
from the list, then follow these steps:

from the list. Next, press the Action key and select Delete.
iSilo™ asks you to confirm that you want to delete
the selected color theme before actually doing so.

to the document. The dialog always displays the general
information, which consists of the following fields
about the current document:
Full screen
Use Full screen on the Tools menu to activate full screen mode
so that the content display uses the entire screen. In full screen mode,
the title bar, location bar, menu bar, and scroll arrows
are all hidden. In addition

assign a button to activate
full screen mode.
System information
Use System information on the Tools sub-menu to
activate the System information dialog so that you can
determine the user ID you need to provide in order to obtain
