Using ClipRead2.0
Navigation There are various methods for navigating through reading selections. ClipRead will open in ‘page’ mode, moving from one reading panel to the next, never breaking a sentence across panels (unless the sentence is extremely long.). You may also scroll the entire selected reading from top to bottom within a single reading panel. Page Mode: 1) Page forward in the reading by clicking in the lower right corner of the reading panel. 2) Page back in the reading by clicking in the upper right corner of the reading panel. Alternatively, you may use ‘Page Down’ and ‘Page Up‘ on your keyboard to move forward and back in the reading.
Scroll Mode: To scroll from the beginning of your selection to the end, instead of using the page function, select Options >> Display Mode >> Scroll For best results use: ο Up or Down scrollbar arrows ο Your mouse wheel (if available), or ο The slider bar within the scrollbar (this method may produce flashing text, so slide the bar slowly.)
