We open the find window with F5.
So: I've looked for books with the publisher 'Penguin'. (Note that I've used \tPenguin\t, which means 'tab Penguin tab'. Otherwise, I might accidentally mark a book with the title 'I love my penguin', which isn't what I want.)
And there they are - two books which match \tPenguin\t, marked with a little triangle called a 'bookmark'.
Now I want to do something with these bookmarked lines. Here's what I can do:
Cut the bookmarked lines
Copy the bookmarked lines
Delete the bookmarked lines
I want to copy them to a new document to see them more closely. I go here:
I open a new document, and I paste my bookmarked lines:
It turns out that both my Penguin books are by PG Wodehouse. Now I can look over the data, modify it, whatever I want.
The only thing I can't do is modify the data and put it back in it's original place. Bookmarking only works in one direction. If I wanted to modify the records and then put them back in the original file, I would have to cut them from this document and paste them onto the end of the original.
