scroll up a line:
Tap on the upward pointing arrowhead of the scroll bar to scroll
up a line. If the current first line is partially displayed, then it
scrolls in to become fully displayed. If the current first line is
already fully displayed, then the line above it scrolls in to become
fully displayed.
The distance scrolled is in all cases limited to a
tenth of the height of the view area. This means that if you have
a tall image that you are scrolling in from the top, each
time you scroll up by a line, only an amount equal to one tenth
of the view height scrolls in each time.
scroll down a line The distance scrolled is in all cases limited to a
tenth of the height of the view area. This means that if you have
a tall image that you are scrolling in from the bottom, each
time you scroll down by a line, only an amount equal to one tenth
of the view height scrolls in each time.

a little time to get used to it. However, it is especially
useful in situations where it is not easy to use your stylus
but must instead use your fingers.
Note: If you configure any of the regions for an
action of screen up or screen down, then please note that
the options you set on the
Scroll tab of the
Options dialog determine the specific behavior of the screen
up or screen down action.
As with the other methods of scrolling by a screen, the
Scroll tab of the
Options dialog determines the specific behavior of the screen
up and screen down actions.

One common use of links is in a table of contents, whereby it is
handy for each item in the table of contents to be a link to its
content so that you can simply tap on an item to jump to the content.
This is much easier than having to search for the page or location
where the content starts.
Usually, a textual link has a visual indication such as a
dotted underline to indicate that it is a link. But it is
possible for a link to not have any such indication if the
author styled it as such.
While in hyperlink mode, if you decide you do not want
to follow any of the links currently visible, tap on the screen
to exit hyperlink mode. If you have assigned the Back action
to a button using the button
options, you can also press the button to exit
hyperlink mode.
This allows you to easily jump back to recent jump points. If you have
jumped anywhere, then in the tool bar, the Back
icon appears. This indicates that you can tap it to jump back to the
last location from where you made the jump.
In addition to being able to jump back, you can also jump forward
back to the location from where you made a return jump. You jump
forward by tapping the Forward icon
that appears on the tool bar if you ever make a return jump.
You can clear the jump history by selecting Clear History from the
Marks menu. iSilo™ saves the jump history across document
closes and opens. Note that this saved information does not
include the history of jumps to external documents.
Note: For documents in the Doc format, only local and
document bookmarks are supported. Documents in iSilo™
format support all three bookmark types. All other document types
only support local bookmarks.
Tap on the downward pointing arrowhead of the scroll bar to scroll
down a line. If the current last line is partially displayed, then it
scrolls in to become fully displayed. If the current last line is
already fully displayed, then the line below it scrolls in to become
fully displayed.
Tap in the area below the upward pointing arrowhead and
above the scroll car to scroll up a screen. By default, when you scroll
up a screen, if the current first line is partially displayed, it
becomes fully displayed as the last line after the scroll. Otherwise,
the line above it becomes the last line after the scroll. This
behavior is called full with text align. You can use the
Scroll tab of the Options
dialog to change the screen up behavior.
Tap in the area above the downward pointing arrowhead and
below the scroll car to scroll down a screen. By default, when you scroll
down a screen, if the current last line is partially displayed, it
becomes fully displayed as the first line after the scroll. Otherwise,
the line below it becomes the first line after the scroll. This
behavior is called full with text align. You can use the
Scroll tab of the Options
dialog to change the screen down behavior.
The scroll car is the rectangle that shows the size
and location of the currently displayed content relative to the
current page. You can drag the scroll car to scroll
to the content at a relative location within the page.
the horizontal scroll bar
The horizontal scroll bar allows five different scroll operations:
The horizontal scroll bar does not appear unless there is content
on the page wider than the width of the view area.
If you set the Scroll Bar option on the
UI tab of the Options dialog
to Hide, then the horizontal scroll bar never appears even if the
page has content wider than the width of the view area. In this case,
you need to use some other method of scrolling horizontally, such as
dragging.
Tap the leftward pointing arrowhead of the scroll bar to scroll
left by a line. In the case of horizontal scrolling, the distance
of a line is about 5% of the view area width.
Tap the rightward pointing arrowhead of the scroll bar to scroll
right by a line. In the case of horizontal scrolling, the distance
of a line is about 5% of the view area width.
Tap in the area to the right of the leftward pointing arrowhead and
to the left of the scroll car to scroll left a distance equal to
about 95% of the view area width.
Tap in the area to the right of the scroll car and to the left of the
rightward pointing arrowhead to scroll right a distance equal to
about 95% of the view area width.
The scroll car is the rectangle that shows the width
and location of the currently displayed content relative to the
maximum width of the content on the current page. You can drag
the scroll car to scroll the content horizontally.
drag scrolling
By default, you can drag your stylus across the screen to scroll
the content in the direction that you drag. Using the
Region tab of the Options
dialog, you can configure which regions respond to drag scrolling.
You can also adjust the size of each region. Drag scrolling
is easy to use and allows you to position content on the screen
to the precision of a pixel, but can contribute to screen wear.
tap scrolling
Tap scrolling allows you to simply tap the screen to scroll up
or down by a line or a screen. By default, tap scrolling is not
enabled. Using the Region
tab of the Options dialog, you can configure which regions respond
to tap scrolling, the sizes of the regions, and the scroll
actions that occur when you tap specific regions. If you configure
a region to scroll when you tap it, then you can tap the region once
to perform the scroll action once or hold your stylus or finger down
on the region to repeat the scroll action continuously for as long
as you leave your stylus or finger in the region.
hardware scroll buttons
By default, when you use the scroll control, scrolling occurs
a line at a time. You can use the
Scroll tab of the Options dialog to change the scroll
behavior individually for each direction to scroll by either
a line or a screen.
hardware jog control
If your device has a jog control which can be rotated up and
down, then you can also scroll using it. By default, when you
rotate it up, the document scrolls up one line and if you rotate
it down, the document scrolls down one line. You can use the
Scroll tab of the
Options dialog to change either behavior to scroll by
a line and even to reverse the scroll directions. If your
device also has a separate control for scrolling up
and down, please note that the behavior is identical to rotating
the jog control up and down, respectively.
links
Links, also known as hyperlinks, are words or images in
the content of the document that you can tap to jump to the
target of the link. The item you tap is also known as
the link's source. In a well-designed document, the
author will have interspersed relevant links throughout the
content of the document so that the person viewing the document
can easily jump to other relevant or interesting parts of the
document.
following a link
To jump to the target of a link, hold your stylus down on the
link until it highlights and then release the stylus within the
bounds of the highlight. If you release the stylus outside the
bounds of the highlight, you do not jump to the link's target.
Jumping to the target of the link is also known as following
the link.
hyperlink mode
In hyperlink mode, you can iterate across the links
currently visible on the screen using the up and down buttons
or the jog control if available. Use the
button options
to assign a button to use to enter hyperlink mode. Use the same
assigned button to jump to the target of the current highlighted
link. When you follow a link, you also exit hyperlink mode.
returning from a link
Whenever you follow a link, iSilo™ adds the location
of the link's source to the
jump history. So after you follow a link and are done
reading the content at the link's target, you can immediately
return to the location from where you followed the link and
continue reading from where you left off there. See
jump history for how
to jump back.
jump history
iSilo™ keeps track of jumps you have made
using any of the following methods:
For each such jump, iSilo™ remembers the point from where
you made the jump. It can remember up to 16 jumps within
a given document and up to eight jumps to external documents.
bookmarks
A bookmark marks a location in a document and has an
associated name. You can mark various locations within a
document with bookmarks and easily jump to any of those locations
at any time simply by selecting the desired bookmark from a
list. Some documents may also already have predefined bookmarks.
adding a bookmark
Use the Add Bookmark
command on the Marks menu to activate the
Add Bookmark dialog to set a bookmark at the current location.
See bookmark types for a description
of the types of bookmarks you can add to a document.
going to a bookmark
If the document has one or more bookmarks defined, you can tap the
Bookmarks icon on the
tool bar to display a list of
bookmarks in the current document. Tap a bookmark to go to the
location that it marks.
editing bookmarks
You can rename, delete, and re-order the bookmarks in a document
by using the Edit Bookmarks
command on the Marks menu.
bookmark types
Bookmarks come in three types as described here:
marks
While bookmarks provide a method for
associating a name with a location in a document, marks
provide additional methods for going to specific locations
in a document.
