Details

Most probably any “read-only” files will not be imported either. Any corrupted e-Sword modules will of course not be read.

You should see this when you click on the tab.

The way this works is that you pick a folder on your hard disk, and the utility will read the files it finds there, and the numbers (0) above will be changed to reflect the number of modules of that type found. You can selectively exclude groups of modules. You then click “Convert” and your files will be converted.




TAB3 and TAB4 Import Bibles from Unbound Bible and Zephania.

These two websites have public domain Bibles, and if you find a Bible you like there, you can download the Bible to your hard drive and import it into theWord format. Zefania or unbound Bible and choose a Bible and download it.

From there choose a tab corresponding with the site where you downloaded the Bible, and select the file and convert the Bible.
