Using location marks in a file

Location marks function like bookmarks. You place them in your document and use them to easily return to marked locations in your file.

  1. Place the cursor at the position to be marked.
  2. Select Edit from the main menu bar.
  3. Select Mark.
  4. Select Name a mark.
  5. Enter the name of the new mark in the text entry field of the Name mark input area.
  6. Press Enter to save the location mark.

 

Finding a Named Location Mark

To move the cursor to a named mark, do the following:

  1. Select Edit from the main menu bar.
  2. Select Find other.
  3. Select Find mark.
  4. The Find mark input area appears. Select the name of the mark you want to move to. You can use the Up and Down arrow keys to scroll through existing marks.
  5. Press Enter to move to the location of the chosen mark.

 

Using a Quick Location Mark

To mark one cursor position quickly, you can use the Quick Mark feature as follows:

  1. Move the cursor to the position where you want to set a mark.
  2. Select Edit from the main menu bar.
  3. Select Mark.
  4. Select Set quick mark. A quick-mark is created at the chosen position in your file.

To find a quick-mark, do the following:

  1. Select Edit from the main menu bar.
  2. Select Find other.
  3. Select Find quick mark. The cursor moves to the position marked by the quick mark

You can have only one quick mark per document view. Setting a new quick mark will cause a previous quick mark to be lost.

You can also find a quick mark using the procedure described in Finding a Named Location Mark above. The quick mark will appear in the list of named marks as @QUICK.
