Hi Toxaris

Suddenly the Mark tool has stopped working. I Mark with colour not a tag (more to come on that)

It runs, I see the scroll bar jump around, and it takes about as long as I would expect. After a while I get a popup to say words were marked but nothing is marked, i.e no words are coloured. Word's Text Highlight Colour function is working.

So what changed? Windows - I upgraded from 1709 to 1803 on Sunday. And I think this is the first time I've run the Mark tool since then. Whilst there's nothing in 1803 I really need, I would prefer not to revert to 1709.

I tried to put something (###) in "Mark tag" but it won't persist, i.e. if I exit Mark settings, and then go back into it, Mark tag is blank again. I have Save on exit checked. If I change the colour the new colour persists.

Where is Mark Tag kept - if I could update it manually I could test to see if the Mark tool works with a tag.

Added: I think I found it in ePUBTools.cfg. I changed it to this

Code:

  <ConfigValues>
    <OptionName>MarkTag</OptionName>
    <OptionValue>###<OptionValue>
  </ConfigValues>

Same result, nothing actually marked

Added : I tried reinstalling the add-in - now I can't get the check box in COM Add-in to stick. I've had this before, can't recall how I fixed it -

Fixed: uninstall from control panel, rename the Toxaris folder in %APPDATA%, fresh install

BR
