General Overview & Bible Window

theWord Overview

theWord Overview. This video by Paul Chapman basically focuses on the kinds of sub-windows in the program, and how to open and use them (as a general help). These are Bibleview Windows which contains Bibles, Module (Bookview) Windows which contain any of the various other kinds of modules, i.e. books, commentaries, dictionaries.

Besides that there are also Bible Search windows which contain the results of a search on a Bible or Bibles for a particular word or phrase. You have the option to search a single Bible, or all Bibles. This later feature is extremely nice if you wish to compare the translation practices of the translators of two particular Bibles. For example, compare the KJV and the NIV (or any modern version) on the word “atonement” or “propitation”. The modern versions do not like to translate the underlying Hebrew and Greek into these words but use word arounds. You can also make groups of Bibles, and your search will go across only those Bibles.

Also there are Modules Search Windows which are searches which span all of your installed modules, and there will appear the results of your search words. Also note that these module search windows can be have a group of modules grouped, and the search will go across the only those modules.

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.
