Yes, Michael, this is very helpful; this is precisely the kind of feature that I was looking for. Will test this out. Thank you.

This feature is even more powerful than its Word counterpart, because you are not limited to one placemarker per file as you are in Word. To set a temporary placemarker, navigate to where you would like to add the marker and press Ctrl Windows K. To create a permanent placemarker, navigate to the desired location,  press Ctrl Shift K, and press enter to activate the new placemarker dialogue. At that point, you will be asked to enter a name for the placemarker and set options like anchoring the placemarker to specific text. Once you are finished, activate the OK button, and your placemarker should be saved.

Alternatively, pressing Ctrl Shift K will bring up a list of all placemarkers in the current file, which supports first-letter navigation. Please let us know if this is the type of feature you are looking for.

Also, on the iPad you can split screen two apps like Voicedream and Notebooks for easy cutting and pasting.  I don't think that is possible on the iPhone but I might be wrong about that.  It may be just psychological, but the extra screen area on the iPad Mini seems more comfortable for using Voicedream and Notebooks.
