Hi, Regie, I'm certainly interested in your Thayer's work. It is especially good that it's editable. Blessings, Eric

Oh, OK. I wish there was an option to tell SwordSearcher to make certain user books, esp. commentaries, plain text only. Is that a suggestable suggestion for a future enhancement? :)

Related but different question: why is it that when I export from a User Commentary to Forge, I'm getting HTML tags included, i.e., <scripref>Ps 82:6, Jn 10:35</scripref>? Seems like I recall a way to turn that off, but I can't remember how. Forge is telling me that it is stripping them out...

Thanks, Brandon. Now if only I can remember that! :) I don't mind it being technical, but I have to use it regularly to remember it.

I thought that because I had chosen "Find verses with the exact PHRASE specified", that it would only find "many" and "days" when they were right next to each other in that order. Did the use of the ! operator affect that? If I search for "many days" and have the PHRASE option selected, it only...

Got it, Brandon. Thank you. I"ll need to come up with some other way to do things. Edit: I found that if I put [[something]] in double brackets in footnote text, when it is converted to a Bible module, it looks like this: [the apostle Paul] I.e., the one set of brackets remains and the text...

Hi, Brandon and Friends on the forum. I'm wondering if what I'm seeing here is right, since I did not expect 1Sa 25:10 to be a hit when I searched for the phrase "many days". 1Sa 25:10 has "many servants now a days", but does not have "many days". There are other hits farther down the list that...

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...
