Marks on the timeline

I record meetings using a Tascam DR-07MKII audio recorder. The recorder has the capability of placing marks on the audio track. I'd like to use the markers as a way to tell me when the presenter changes the PowerPoint slide during the presentation. That would make it easier to later sync the audio with the slides.

However, I can't seem to find a way for Audicity to show these marks. I do know the marks exist because I can see them on the audio track using Sound Editor Deluxe.

The recorder manual says that any WAF complaint audio software should be able to see these marks.

Is Audicity capable of showing these marks?

Audacity does not currently support the BWF format, so track marks are not supported.
Audacity does have "label tracks" which allow "markers" to be used within an Audacity Project. http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/Label_Tracks

Thank you. I was hoping it would support track marks as they are useful to me for marking slide changes from presentation audio recordings.
