- For quickly opening items you can use the history lists. The list you see when you click 'file' contains items with which you started a surfing session. If you click 'file-open' then a list containing every site or file you went too with eMarker will be showed.
- For very quickly opening MHT files you can use the first history list you see after you click on 'file'. It includes only MHT files you used before.
- By following '>>>' in the history lists you can remove history items, remove all history or set the maximum items.
- When you chose to open mht files by default with eMarker then you should be able to access a recently saved mht-file (saved using Internet Explorer) using the start menu of Windows.
- For simply viewing mht files you can keep on using standard mht viewers like Internet Explorer.
- Buttons: hover with your mouse over a button to know what it does. In many cases they are shortcuts to menu items.
- You are recommended to learn to use the option 'use selection for file name' if you frequently copy paste stuff manually to eMarker. - eMarker can only mark text in the MHT file; not images nor other special elements. Selecting text could need some practice. Sometimes you have to click several times on the page before you can do the selection.
- When you try to re-open a page which you just edited and saved then you first 'must' close eMarker completely. If you do not close the program first before re-opening the mht file then it could be that the changes will not be viewed yet.
- Note that it occurs often that web pages (htm, html...) can not be saved as a mht file. This is mainly the case with dynamic or dynamically created web pages. If Internet Explorer is not able to save a certain page as a mht, then eMarker too will not be able to save it as a mht file. This program does not pretend to be any better than IE in this area but as soon there is already a mht file, eMarker should be able to mark and save it.
- When launching eMarker from Internet Explorer you get best and quick results when you only select text and images. Try to avoid other things like video elements.
- Hitting the ESC button wil quickly exit the current window. If you leave the main window with ESC without saving then the unsaved will be lost.
