I just wanted to clarify the terminology, as it might confuse new folks.

Here's how I've been doing this for RTF's:
- Insert a page break at the start of the chapter in your word processor
- Put in a a one or two-character special flag (I use "||", but you can use anything that's not in the text) before the chapter headings.
- Save the file
- Import the file in Connect and open it.
- Use the search command to locate the flag strings and then click the bookmark button.

Just takes a few seconds to do this as you can repeat the "find/mark" without having to re-enter the flag characters; i.e. it's just a matter of two mouse clicks per bookmark after the first one.

The page break before the chapter starts isn't absolutely necessary, but it makes the bookmark screen on the Reader look a lot tidier.

Cheers,
Bob
