Setting Bible Order theWord

When we are Setting Bible Order theWord, then we want to see the Bibles in a particular window. This will be messed up though when you jump back and forth using different Bibles. the order of Bibles will show those most recently used in the bar. When you close down theWord and open it again, it is going to revert to the set Bible order (if you set it that is). Otherwise, it is just whatever order they were in on the Bible bar when you shut down.

Setting Bible Order theWord is very easy. When you want to be Setting Bible Order theWord, follow these instructions.

New Optimized Commentaries















I have been using the commentaries in TW more, and I want to explain a few new concepts that I am incorporating into the twmodules.com website, the TW modules, and how to use TW with commentaries.

1.) Filename conventions

The first thing I want to clarify is some naming conventions which I am starting to use, and slowly I will work through the entire module database set at www.twmodules.com and rename everything to conform to these conventions.

Purpose: To make the creation of Module Layout Sets easier.

By adding this abbreviations to the actual filename, I am hoping that it will make it easier for people to make module layout sets of a particular type easier. Note that I am also trying to reduce the Abbreviation so that when you use these commentaries with Commentary Linking, they will be concise.

TOS – Topical Sermon Database (TOS)

These files are sermon modules, arranging link a dictionary under a topical arrangement of themes.

TES – Textual Sermon Database (TES)

These files are sermons arranged like a commentary by author, on different verses in the Bible. There may be more than a single sermon in each verse topic.

ExC – Expository Commentary (ExC)

These are just regular expositional commentaries. Note that these are naming conventions solely used by me, David Cox.

more to come later… Please check back…

Showing Translator Notes

Showing Translator Notes is a class for theWord on how to turn on and off, and the options for Translator’s notes. Let me just make the statement at the beginning, that this feature is not very much used because most Bible modules (for theWord or for e-Sword) do not have these notes in the module. If these notes are not in the actual Bible module file, they are just not there, you will not see them. Sorry!

Introduction

We begin this class with a basic “How to get there”. This option is activated in the BibleView Main Window. Although the Bible Selector Bar will dynamically move the Bible version abbreviations around on this bar, there are two options at the far right that will never be moved around, Compare and Lists.

Class Objective: In this class, we will show the student how to use the Bible Version Selector Bar to change Bible versions, and also to set some different options related to Bibles.

Bible-Version-Selector-Bar

 

What you observe in this image (this is the bar about the Bible text) in the BibleView window) is a list of available (installed) TW Bibles. In the above list, the far left (light blue text on white background) is a search window for quickly going to a particular Bible version (in this case, I was searching for the NASB), then a list of Bibles (by abbreviation), and the TR (Greek Textus Receptus) is the currently loaded Bible. Next comes “Compare” Bible Versions and “List” Verses function, and finally a double hash mark “>>” which has the Bible versions which don’t fit on the line.
