F5 theWord Copy Verses Function

F5 theWord Copy Verses Function
By David Cox

Class Objective: This TW feature is for formatting and inserting verses into the clipboard so that you can insert them into another application or program, or into another module within TW. Note that theWord will allow you to make very specific and minute tweaks to how it pastes Bible text into the clipboard. Although at first you probably think that this is not very important nor useful, think again. The reason why you want to understand and dominate this class is because if you use Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, or some other software in your ministry, and you use the Bible in those programs, you will want to use TW’s features to quickly insert Bible verses into that other application. I do this a lot myself (I am a missionary and Pastor), and as such, I had made Microsoft Word macros to reformat inserted Bible text before. I got rid of the Microsoft Word macro, and started tweaking TW’s inserts so that they would look like what I want.

How do I show the BibleView Window Options Icons (at left)















BibleView Window Options Icons

Topic: How do I show the BibleView Window Options Icons (at left)
By David Cox

BibleView Window Options Icons. When using theWord, at times you accidentally press a wrong combination of keys, and you are left with something you don’t want. I have been using theWord working in a Bible, and all of sudden the entire left-hand icons disappear on me, well actually, I pressed the wrong keys and they disappeared on me.

For most things with theWord you can go to the main menu at the top, and you can search there for turning something on or off. But in this particular case, you will need to know how to do this while you have the Bibleview window in particular active. Then it is very easy.




Tip: So if you do not see the left-hand menu Icons in your BibleView. If this is the case, then press Ctrl+T to toggle it on/off or hide/show.

Note that YOU MUST FIRST CLICK IN THE BIBLEVIEW WINDOW TO MAKE IT ACTIVE or this won’t work.

BibleView Menu Icons

Class Objective: We will explain a little bit about the BibleView Option Icons (Menu) at the left of the BibleView window.

First of all, you will need to open a BibleView window if one is not already open. F11 will open a new BibleView window. (A BibleView window is a window that allows you to view a Bible. Secondly, if the menu icons are not visible you will need to toggle them on, with Control+T. Continue reading BibleView Menu Icons



Module Sets: Specialized Categories

















Module Sets: Specialized Categories

When you make a module set, the left hand window has a search function that will search all filenames and filter all files to only those fitting the search criteria. You can use this to make specialize Module Layout Sets in an easy way.




Step 1: In Windows File Explorer, examine your files. Here rename the files of a specific category, say files dealing with the “Atonement”, and add a special unique code to identify the file as belonging to that category.

Let’s take the atonement category. On my website, you search for that category. Simply find a single file that has the topic or category you are looking for and examines the different parts of the post.

module-sets-making-category

Note on this image the various parts in blue. First of all, there are “Categories” under the Title. You can click on that category link and see all in that category. Second, there is a series tag which is seen in “This entry is part 2 of 11 in the series Salvation-Atonement“. This is the same as the list in the box “Salvation-Atonement”. You can Control+Click on each of the modules in the box and a separate browser tab will open with that post in it. You can also just type in the topic in the search box at the top right of the sidebar.

Method One: Series tagged: Salvation-Atonement http://www.twmodules.com/series/salvation-atonement/
The series available are in the right-hand sidebar, so click on Salvation-Atonement link. Note that these change constantly. So as they grow larger (more than 40 files), I am splitting them into more specific categories, like I recently broke the atonement modules off from salvation where they were before.

Criteria: I tag these by hand, so I can miss some, or miscategorize a book or two sometimes.

Method Two: Category tagged: http://www.twmodules.com/category/atonement/

Note that this is a valid category from the website, and by just adding “/category/” you can access the website and these modules.




Criteria: I also tag these by hand.

 Method Three: Searching the website. In the search box in the top right-hand side at the top of the sidebar, there is a search box, and you can search on the files on the basis of your word.

Criteria: The only way a module will end up in a search is if the search word is actually in the post somewhere.

Note: As with all of these methods, there is a margin for error. Sometimes the search word appears in the post, but the module is not about that subject at all.




Once you have downloaded the modules that you want for a category module set (or select them from your list of modules), you can easily prep them for the Module Layout Set. Here, just add to the filename the identifier you decided on. Here I added (atone) as my identifier, and put it right after the filename (see below). Surrounding the identifier with parentheses “()” makes it harder for some other module to mistakenly be included.

Within theWord, make a module layout set.

See How to Make Module Sets

Then search in the left panel for “(atone)”. This will quickly make a layout for atonement. As an alternative, you can also make a doctrinal layout set, and have these in a folder within that set.
