Example: “[abc]” will create bookmarks from any lines containing either a, b, or c. This is opposed to

only creating a bookmark from text containing abc if “abc” is entered. “[a-dA-D]” will create bookmarks

from lines containing any of the characters between a-d (that is, a, b, c and d), in both lower- and

upper-case

[^]

Any text containing characters inside the “[ ]” and after the “^” will not be turned into bookmarks. This

feature is very handy when applied with in conjunction with other bookmark selection properties to stop

unwanted bookmarks from being created. Please note that conversely this means that any other text not

in the “[ ]” will be considered as potential bookmark material. Therefore you should consider using

another bookmark selection in conjunction with this one. If you really want to exclude numbers like 1.0

you would need to modify it to “[^0-9\.]. The “\” is explained below, and is needed because “.” is a

considered special character in text masking.

Example: Entering “[^0-9]” will still create bookmarks containing numbers if the text line contains any

other character – 1.0 will be turned into a bookmark because it contains a “.”.

The “\” character is used when you wish to actually match a special character, such as “.” Or “$”. These

special characters are used in the Text Mask field to perform special text matching.

Example: Entering “\$” will search and create a bookmark from text on the document containing a “$”,

ignoring the normal “$” text mask command

Use the “*” character to create bookmarks from more than one set of characters at the same time.

Example: Entering “a*b” will create bookmarks from any line of text containing either a and/or b

Use the “+” character to create bookmarks from a set of characters arrayed in a certain order. Bookmarks

can be created from the first character(s) before the “+”, however, characters after the “+” can only be

bookmarked if the characters before the “+” are also present.

Example: Entering “a+b” will create bookmarks from any line of text containing ab, aab, aaab¸ etc. Any

text like ba, or cb, will be ignored

Like the “+” character, the “?” character creates bookmarks from a set of characters arrayed in a certain

order, but in this case, bookmarks can be created from characters before the “?” only if the proceeding
