Thank you, Brandon. But I'm thinking this: isn't plain text what I want to put into a user commentary in order to export it to Forge to create a Bible module? I guess I'll have to play with it, but it seems to me that the using of other character would mess it up. But, I guess it's the...

Hi, Brandon, I'm using a User Commentary to make an entry for every v. of the NT, then exporting it to make a Bible module via Forge. When I type the following in Code Mode in SwordSearcher v. 8.3 in a footnote in a user commentary, then the stuff between the < and > symbols does not show up...

Thanks so much, Brandon! It's a pretty neat tool, even though everything I use I ask for more features for! Don't be discouraged by that. It'll get me started, and the ability to import my own plan is great. Thank you!

I exported the current plan as a .txt file and opened it in Excel. I see that it puts the reading segments in there in the same order I added them to the plan, which is fine. In some ways that is better than defaulting to canonical order since one can decide to add them in any order. To modify...

Seems to me that SwordSearcher (8.3.1.72) automatically saves the *.ssplan (reading plan template) and *.txt (reading plan export) files to the regular Documents folder on Windows 10 under the user's profile name, like this: C:\Users\[UserName]\Documents. I don't see anyway to change that...

The good news is that this works out to only 9-11 minutes per day, so if Proverbs were being read in half-chapter-per-day increments, probably we'd be close to our 15-minute goal. However, I don't think SS programmatically actually does what I want, since it comes out like this (with 4x reading...

I've never used SS's reading plans, since we've always used two different "printed on paper plans". However, for 2020-2021, our church needs a 2-year reading plan. We are not sure exactly how much Bible text we will be able to read and re-read during that time, but the goal is to have approx. 15...

Oh, I get to use something related to computers according to its original purpose! That's unusual and great. Thanks! I can do it that way easily enough.

Thanks, Bill, for the idea. I just tried it with "and", and it found these: However, when I used "strict" and put in exactly the one word I was looking for in my foreign language user book, it didn't work. Apparently "strict" means only that one word, since when I set it to "normal" it did find...

I would find it useful if there were another option in the "Full Library Search" panel: "Find only in titles of entries". I just recently needed to find an entry in a user book. I knew a very common word was used in the title, but if I searched for that word, I'd also get lots of hits in the...

Thank you, Brandon.

Is there a good way to "embed" a PowerPoint presentation into a user book? I have a PP presentation full of Bible references that I'd love to do that with, both so the information is available in SS, and also so the links make it easier to see what the verses are talking about when I'm...

If you use the paid CrossOver program, you can use SS on a Mac almost as if it were a Mac program. Two other paid options are VMWare's Fusion and Parallels. I use the free VirtualBox (but you have to buy Windows, so it's not free, either, really). I think if I were in your situation, I might...

Congratulations on 25 years, Brandon! You've done a wonderful job to create such a versatile and useful tool for studying the Word of God!

@RLBrooks139, I use SwordSearcher almost every day in a Windows 10 virtual machine running in the free VirtualBox.org app. It's fully functional and I love it. There are issues with being "double-minded" :) in regard to Operating Systems, and it's not a perfect set up. Maybe Parallels or VMware...

Highlighting would be nearly worthless to me without the ability to highlight only portions of the verse. Actually, I wish I could highlight even punctuation separately :), but as I think of the work involved, I'm sure it's a non-starter.

My main wish for highlighting is a symbol to highlight omissions. The thread is here: https://forums.swordsearcher.com/threads/minor-highlighting-enhancement.2595/ My wish was this: "Of all the things I'd like to see in SwordSearcher, this highlighting enhancement probably is the one that I...

It is exactly what I needed. Thank you very much. The /s did not cause any problems in this case: the search did find matches at the beginning of verses (apparently due to the way it was constructed). I'm a happy camper! :)

Thanks, men. I'll look into it, but I think the 9 Bill got is correct (at least the number). I'm grateful!

I'm wondering if Bill or Brandon or someone familiar with regular expressions could help me. In the TR module I want to find και ___ δε, in other words, I want to find instances like 2Ti 3:12: 2Ti 3:12 (TR) και παντες δε οι θελοντες ευσεβως ζην εν χριστω ιησου διωχθησονται But I want to...
