Getting re-synch to work

[kstaples]

I wrote about this before but the input must have been lost.
I can't get the hang of changing the synchronization once I have run through the song and tried to synchronize it the first time.
The instructions in the book are very hard to follow. It should be re-written in a more intelligible manner.
Anyway, I assumed from the hype that I could select any word individually, if I so desired, and change the start and/or finish of the sweep. If this is so, please explain to me how I can accomplish it.
Trying to play and change the synch on one word is pretty hard, given that one word doesn't take up much time in a song. I want to be able to select a word and then add milliseconds(or whatever) to the beginning or ending of that word without mucking up whatever follows. I shouldn't have to "play" that word or phrase in order to make the change.
