theWord module compression
theWord module compression. This tutorial page explains about how theWord Bible program compresses its files. This is an automatic thing, and it helps you to not have to do so. Actually, it is transparent if you activate it.
Why would you want to compress a module?
This is where we should start. Actually there good reasons to compress your modules. First of all, if you are uploading them to the Internet, if you are emailing them, if you are using the modules on a USB Flash memory drive and have limited space, all of these are reasons to compress a module.
What modules can you compress?
You can compress any module except for Bible modules which are just plain ASCII text files.
Buy me Steak Taco! You know, I work hard at my websites trying to provide you with good material that is sound doctrinally-speaking and of interest to God's people. It is hard work, but I don't mind doing it, and I feel called to the ministry, and God will bless me after all is said and done. But in the meantime, I do need to cover my expenses. I have a total of 34 websites (half English and half Spanish), and each one costs about $10 per month to keep up. That does not take into consideration my time and effort in writing content. Won't you consider at least a one time donation to this ministry of $10 or $20 dollars? It would be really great if you could gift me and my wife this money so that we could enjoy eating out at least once in a while. (I pay the expenses for these sites out of our living expenses.) God will richly bless you and repay you for your generosity. 1 Timothy 5:18 For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. If you received some value from my websites, consider at lest a small donation. A big donation would really be nice, too though.

In the popup dialog box that results, click the second tab at the top, and you should see this image (with your module’s information instead of the one I picked).
Once you have checked off the corresponding check boxes (above) you click ok and the dialog box will close. Note that this is the preferred way to compress a module to email it. Doing this, you will get as good file compression as using any compression utility out there, and whomever receives the module and immediately use without uncompressing it.
