Tap Actions
Use the Tap Actions options to assign or edit the
actions to perform when tapping regions of the screen while
viewing a document.
The content area of the screen is dividied into 25 regions
using a 5x5 evenly spaced grid. Each region except for the
center region can be assigned an action to perform when that region
is tapped. The center region is reserved for future use.
The action to perform for a given region can be different
for each of the three types of taps: single-tap, double-tap,
triple-tap.
To enable the use of tap actions, check the Enable tap
actions checkbox. To disable the use of tap actions,
uncheck the Enable tap actions checkbox.
To assign an action to a region in the Tap Actions screen,
first select whether you want to assign the action to a
Single, Double, or Triple tap of the region.
Next, tap the region to which you want to assign the action
to get the Tap Action list. You can select from the
following actions:
- None: Assign no action.
- Line Up: Scroll the content up by one line.
- Line Down: Scroll the content down by one line.
- Line Left: Scroll the content left by one line.
- Line Right: Scroll the content right by one line.

Notes:
- For a given region, if the region has actions assigned to more
than one tap type, then the action assigned for the lesser tap type
is performed only if there is not a subsequent tap within a quarter
of a second. For example, if a given region has the action
Line Up assigned for single-tapping and the action Page Up
assigned for double-tapping, the Line Up action will only be
performed if there is at least a quarter second interval during
which there is not another tap in the same region. If there is
another tap in the same region within that quarter second interval,
then the tap type will register as a double-tap and the Page Up
action will be performed instead of the Line Up action.
- If a given region only has an action assigned for only one tap
type, then that action is performed immediately as soon as the
required number of taps has occurred. For example, if a given
region has the Line Up action assigned to it and no action
assigned to the same region for either double-tapping or
triple-tapping, then as soon as a tap occurs in the region,
the action is performed immediately.
- You can repeat a tap action by holding down your finger
on the region. For example, if you have the Line Up action
assigned to a given region, when you touch down on the region
and hold your finger down, the Line Up action continues to repeat
until you lift your finger up from the screen.
Use Annotations on the Edit menu
to activate the Annotations dialog. This dialog lists all annotations
in the associated annotations file for the document.
To access additional operations on each annotation, press and hold
on the annotation's entry to activate the context menu. The context
menu has the following commands:
- View/Edit: Use View/Edit to get the
Annotation dialog
for editing any of the fields of the annotation.
You can also access the Annotation dialog by simply selecting the
annotation's entry in the list.
- Go To: Use Go To to jump to the beginning
of the annotated text in the document.
- Delete: Use Delete to delete the selected annotation.
Before actually deleting the annotation, iSilo™ asks you
to confirm that you actually want to delete the annotation.
To access commands that apply to all the annotations, press the
Menu key for the following commands:
- Delete All: Use Delete All to delete all
the annotations in the asscoiated annotations file. Before actually
deleting all the annotations, iSilo™ asks you to confirm
that you want to do so.
Press the Back key to exit the Annotations dialog.
Annotation dialog
The Annotation dialog provides the following three fields
for annotating text:
- Comment: Use this field to enter your comment for the
annotated text.
- Color: The annotated text can take one of the following
16 pre-defined colors:
- Yellow
- Fuchsia
- Red
- Maroon
- Purple
- Blue
- Navy
- Aqua
- Teal
- Lime
- Olive
- Green
- White
- Silver
- Gray
- Black
- Light Yellow
- Light Fuchsia
- Light Red
- Light Blue
- Light Aqua

- Text: This field holds the actual selected text.
However, if the document text is protected from copying operations,
the field will be blank. You can modify the text in this field and also
use it as an additional field for commenting.
Press the Menu key then select Cancel to not add the annotation
or cancel changes and to exit the dialog.
Press the Back key to save the changes to the annotation and to exit
the dialog.
When viewing the document, the background of the annotated text appears
in the selected annotation color.
Pressing 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.
Use Annotation Settings on the Edit menu to activate the
Annotation Settings dialog. In the dialog, tap Select File
to choose and associate an annotations file with the document.
Tap Disassociate File to remove the association between the
document and the annotations file.
To accept changes you have made and exit the Annotation Settings
dialog, press the Back key.
To cancel any changes and exit the Annotation Settings
dialog, press the Menu key then select Cancel.
