The Back Arrow works like a Back Arrow on a web browser. Clicking on the Back Arrow will change what is displayed in the Bible and commentary windows to what was in them before the last set of text was loaded into those windows. Example: James 1:19 is displayed in the Bible window and the commentary window is displaying a comment on James 1:19; then a bookmark to John 3:16 is used and the Bible window displays John 3:16 and the commentary window displays a comment on John 3:16; then clicking on the Back Arrow will reload the text for James 1:19 for the Bible and commentary windows.
Clicking on the Search Tool will display the Search Window - see [Search Window]
There are two ways to directly go to a verse.
Clicking on the Book Drop Down Button will display a menu list of the books of the Bible. Clicking on a book in the list will load the text starting at verse one, chapter one, for that book. Clicking on a Chapter or Verse Spin Buttons will change the current verse forward or backward a chapter or verse. Clicking the Check Mark Button will bring the display back to the verse referenced by these fields if the display has scrolled away from it.
To use the Freehand Verse Key, select (click) the key's field and enter a verse references in the field. The current verse will change to that verse. References may use the full name of the book or an abbreviation of the name. Some books may be abbreviated by as few as one letter. "Genesis", "gen", "Ge" and "g" all work as references to Genesis. Care must be taken where more than one book starts with the same letters. "G" works for Genesis and not Galatians. If a book is indicated Chapter and verse numbers are optional. Space between the book name and the chapter number is optional. If a chapter number is used the verse number is optional. If chapter and verse numbers are included, a colon must separate the chapter and verse numbers. If no book is indicated and only one number given it will be used as a verse reference in the current book and chapter. Two numbers separated by a colon without a book reference, will be taken as chapter and verse in the current book.
A list of verses can also be entered in the Freehand Verse Key. Entering a list of verses will cause the current verse to become the first in the list and all the verses will be listed in a User Verse List window. When entering a list, separate references to different chapters or books by semicolons. Entering "jn 4:5-8,11;6:12;rev 21:21" will make John 4:5 the current verse and will create a User Verse List window with four entries in it.
The Bookmark feature works like the "bookmark" or "favorites" feature of a web browser. A bookmark saves a reference to a verse, in a bookmark file. By selecting a bookmark the Bible and commentary windows load the text for the verse referenced by the bookmark. (To save not just the verse reference, but also the Bible version and selected commentary, use the State Marks. See [State Marks])
Clicking on the Bookmark button displays the following options:
Selecting Add Bookmark will add a reference to the current verse to the Personal bookmarks file. Selecting one of the bookmark files will expand the view of that file so you can select a topic to expand or select a verse to display. Selecting Edit Bookmarks/Tree View will display the Bookmarks window with a Tree View of the bookmark files, topics and verse references. Clicking on a plus sign will expand the tree at that point. Clicking on a minus sign will collapse the tree at that point. Double clicking on a file or topic will toggle the expanded view on and off at that point in the tree. Right clicking in the Bookmarks window will display the following options:
Selecting Add Child will add a topic, named "New Topic," below the place in the tree that is highlighted. You can change the name to your topic or enter a verse reference. By selecting Delete the highlighted item in the tree will be deleted. Selecting Rename allows the renaming of the highlighted item in the tree. Selecting New Bookmark File allows the creation of a new bookmark file, and opens the Add New Bookmark File Window, with the following fields:
Enter the name of the file to be created and a Title for it to be displayed in the bookmark tree.
Entering a word in the Dictionary Key causes a lookup of the word in the current dictionary. If the word is not found the next word after where it would have been is displayed. See [Dictionaries]
The ten State Marks CTRL-[0-9], (press the control key and one of the keys "0" through "9" at the same time), are used to save the state of the current verse, selected Bible version and selected commentary so they can be recalled latter by using CTRL-SHIFT-[0-9].
