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 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:

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, set Enable Tap
Actions to ON. To disable the use of tap actions,
set Enable Tap Actions to OFF.

Mark Location
Use Mark Location on the Marks sub-menu

You can use the unnamed mark to easily mark the current location
and return to it at any time later.
While autoscrolling, you can set the autoscroll speed to any of 20 levels. To increase the speed, touch the content area of the screen and drag up. To decrease the speed, drag down. A drag distance equal to one sixteenth of the height of the content area changes the speed by one step. 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 the screen.
By default, autoscroll uses smooth scrolling. See Scroll options to change the autoscroll mode so that it scrolls a line at a time.
The command bar appears along the bottom of the screen overlaid on top of the document content. It automatically hides itself when it is not used for three seconds or more. If the command bar is hidden, tap on any inactive part along the bottom of the screen where the command bar would normally be. The command bar is always shown initially when a document is opened.
There are actually three command bars available. To access the next
command bar in sequence, tap the button with the ellipsis
