Using Inline Commentaries
CLASS OBJECTIVE: In this tutorial class, I will show you how to use theWord inline commentaries function. What you see below is a simple BibleView window (KJV on left, commentary on the right).

Before we get too involved in this one, there is a short-cut key to do this, which first is clicking in the BibleView Window you want the commentaries to appear in, and the typing a single letter: N – Toggles the commentaries off (hides them).

Class Objective: To master how to use the Commentary Module Template. What is the Commentary Module Template? Suppose you want to be adverturous and make a commentary on the entire Bible.
