Working With Bible Texts

Once a reference is entered into the Quick Entry, selected from the Bible Tree, selected by clicking a reference in a Dictionary Text or Commentary Text, or selecting one from the Verse History List, the Bible chapter is displayed in the Bible Panel.

Bible Display Panel

At the top of the Bible Window are Tabs representing all of the loaded Bible Modules. The Authorized Version (AV) is default, but clicking a different Tab will result in the current chapter being displayed in that text.

The Drop-down Arrow on the right will display a list of all the loaded Bible modules even if some of the Tabs are hidden.

When the Bible Panel has the focus (when the titlebar at the top is highlighted), the arrow keys can be used for quick Bible navigation as follows:

In the heading area of the page there will be a link to the Previous Chapter on the left and to the Next Chapter at the right. On mouseover a preview will be shown and on click the page will be updated to that chapter. A Next Chapter link will also be displayed at the bottom right of the page.

To select a verse, making it the Current or Active Reference, simply click the verse reference at the beginning of a line and it will show as the current verse with a shaded background. The shading color can be changed in Preferences.

In Paragraph View the current verse can be selected by clicking the verse number between brackets (i.e. [3]). Right-clicking on the number will display the Context Menu for the verse. Right-clicking on a word will only display the Context Menu data for the word. In standard Verse View right-clicking on a word will display both verse and word options.

When the SHIFT KEY is depressed clicking anywhere with the text of a verse will make it the Current Reference.

User Notes Indicators

User Note indicators (*) are visible in the Bible Panel when a verse has an associated user note. The indicator will be immediately after the verse reference and will display a preview of the note on mouseover. When the indicator is clicked, the corresponding entry will be displayed in the Notes Editor.

The last Tab in the list of Bible modules is always the Parallel View Tab. When this tab is selected, the texts of all selected Bibles will be placed in a parallel table with verse alignment.

The Bibles displayed in the table can be selected by clicking the Select Texts link in the display.

Any text visible in Parallel View can be searched with the Right-Click Context Menu. When right-clicking on a word or selection a menu item will be generated with the search term to search in the selected Bible. Verses can also be exported from a Parallel Text.

If the Ctrl key is held down and the cursor is placed over a tab name in the Bible Panel, a popup will display a three verse preview with the current verse highlighted in the center. In the image below the AV Bible is current and the cursor is over the ASV tab with the Ctrl key held down.

Also, If the Control Key is pressed while the cursor is over a word in the Bible panel, a popup will display the definition for that word in the default dictionary if a definition is available. Below the cursor is over written,

The Dictionary Popup will work for words on nearly any Bible Analyzer page. Not just a Bible Page.

· A left click on the teal verse number (1,) at the beginning of a verse in the Bible Window will search the commentaries for that verse comment and display the default commentary.

· Left clicking on a word will search the dictionary topics for the word and display the default dictionary and search the commentaries for that verse comment.

· As an alternative, if the Ctrl key is held down when clicking anywhere in a verse, only the commentary results will be displayed (The same result as clicking the verse number). There will NOT be a dictionary lookup for the text under the cursor..

The Sync Buttons in the Commentary and Dictionary Windows can be toggled on/off to allow/disallow the corresponding window to update on a Bible click.

The Authorized Version Bible that is distributed with Bible Analyzer has chapter heading (visible in the image above). When the cursor is placed over the number at the beginning of an entry, a popup will display the verse. Clicking the number will make that verse current.

Other Bible translations that have chapter headings available will have the same features.

The chapter headings at the top make an outline of the chapter visible and aid quick navigation.

Some Bibles, such as the Authorized King James Version that comes with version 4.2 and later, have footnotes (see image above). The footnotes are indicated by small numbers within or at the end of a verse. Placing the cursor over a number will cause the footnote to display in a popup.

With some Bibles, such as the NET Bible, footnotes are commentary module based. Clicking the indicator will cause the note to display in the corresponding Commentary Panel.

Notes over 800 characters will be truncated in the popup to restrict the popup size. Click the number to view the entire note in the Commentary Panel

Bible Window Expanded

If the Bible Window is expanded (Alt+B), and if the Use MultiWindow When Bible is Expanded option is checked, any left clicks will display the results in the MultiWindow, even if the normal Use MultiWindow options are unchecked. This allows the user to only use the MultiWindow when the Bible is expanded and the standard windows when not expanded.

Strong's Numbers and Definitions

If you have the Authorized Version 1769, w/Strong's (or another Bible with Strong's), and the Strong's Dictionary of Hebrew and Greek Words modules loaded (available with the Bible Analyzer Suite CD-Rom), Strong's numbers will be displayed beside the corresponding word(s).

Placing the cursor over a number will cause a pop-up to be displayed showing Strong's Definition for that word. If the number is left-clicked, the definition will be selected in the Strong's Dictionary (and other resources that use Strong's Numbers) in the Dictionary Window

When a word is left-clicked it will be looked up in the default dictionary. With the Alt key down, the word will be looked up in the current dictionary.

Right-clicking on a reference or word will bring up a menu. See Right-Click Menu for details.

Right-click on the verse number to have verse options or on a word to have word options. (Viewing the right-click menu with Crtl key down is not possible)
