Behind the scenes, Xerte tiles a number of textfields down the screen, and uses a mask to only show them in the panel. As items change, code takes care of the scrolling, moving the current textfield the topmost position.</FONT></DIV></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>So that means that every stanza in the demo is actually a different "subpage" in Xerte even<BR>though it appears as part of a continuous document in the preview? I will give that a try. <BR>Thanks all.<BR><BR>-------------- Original message ---------------<BR>Date sent: Wed, 20 May 2009 20:53:39 +0100<BR>From: Julian Tenney <Julian.Tenney@nottingham.ac.uk><BR>Subject: RE: [Xerte] How to use transcript reader--instructions?<BR>To: "Xerte discussion list" <xerte@lists.nottingham.ac.uk><BR>Send reply to: Xerte discussion list <xerte@lists.nottingham.ac.uk><BR><BR>It is.
