Dear Caitlyn,

I’ve just played with the bookmark feature in iText, and I think I have had a 
positive result. I’ve created a bookmark by hitting command+shift+m. You will 
be in a dialogue where on the very left you have a table of all the bookmarks 
you may have created and when you move right, you will find a text field into 
which some text is automatically entered, i.e. a few words of the line at which 
your cursor is located. You can change this text and write whatever series of 
words you wish here, and move to the right to add the bookmark or cancel or 
delete a bookmark, I assume one of the bookmarks which may already be in your 
table. 

In order to jump to any of your bookmarks, I think you have to make them 
visible first. The shortcut key combination command+option+m on my macbook air, 
places the bookmarks table  next to the toolbar, just to the right of the 
toolbar. But it is not easy to find them. Now in order to find it, I had to 
stop interacting with my text by pressing vo+shift+up arrow. Then I jumped to 
the toolbar on the left and then vo+right arrow once at which point I heard 
voiceover say “drawer area”. I interacted with the drawer area and I found the 
table of bookmarks there and the bookmark button which you don’t actually need 
because it only activates the bookmark menu which you can get to with 
command+shift+m. 

Then I interacted with the table of bookmarks, placed my vo cursor on the 
bookmark I wanted, then routed mouse cursor to the voiceover cursor with 
vo+command+f5, double-checked with vo+f5 command to make sure the mouse cursor 
was on the bookmark and then I performed the mouse click with vo+shift+space 
bar. 

Then I stopped interacting with the table and the drawer area and moved to the 
right until I heard scroll area. This is the area where your text document is. 
Interact with it, and you should be where your bookmark was created. It worked 
for me. I must thank you for inspiring me to explore this feature. Otherwise 
I’d never had known that this can be accomplished. 

Hope it will work for you too, and hope that my explanation has not confused 
you.

Andrew
