Convert markers to regions

From the Special menu, choose Regions List and choose Markers to Regions from the submenu. All existing markers will be converted to regions using the data between each consecutive marker as the region boundary. For example, if your file contains three markers, this command will create two regions; the first region will span the area between the first and second markers, and the second region will span the area between the second and third markers.
