Phrase Matching Tool (PMT)

The Browse Tab provides an additional view of the current Browse Window context. The Browse Tab enables you to set the Browse Window to multi-version mode to view the current verse in more than one Bible version, while having the Browse Tab in a single version to view the verse within its context. Each Browse Window version can have its own Browse Tab partner version. Because of this feature, you can view the same verse in one version in the Browse Window, and view it in a different version in the Browse Tab.

The Browse Tab Header

The Browse Tab Header is the upper portion of the Browse Tab. You can customize it to display a dropdown outline of the Bible or a series of navigation List Boxes that allow you to select the Bible version, book, chapter, and verse, plus a few other items. To change the items displayed right click on a blank area of the header and select the options that you want from the context menu. The options are:

This button displays a list of options and utilities related to Browse Tab functions. The options are:

Only one of the next three Tab Version options can be set at a time. These options determine if and how the Browse Tab versions synchronize to the Browse Window versions. If the "Synch Browser on Verse Change" option (see previous item) is deselected, none of these settings are used by the program.

The area below the Browse Tab Header is used to display the actual text of verses. Text can be displayed in two modes, Single Version Browse Mode or Multiple Version Mode. See below for how to change modes. The Browse Tab text area is closely linked with both the Search Window and the Browse Window. If you double click on a word, the word will be looked up in the Search Window. If you double click on a version label, that version will become the default search version. If you move the mouse cursor over a version identifier, information about that version will be displayed in the Information Window (if the Information Window is turned on for display). This information can be customized by editing the file called "XXX.bww" where XXX is the BibleWorks version identifier (which may be more than three letters). By default the Browse Tab text area synchronizes with the current verse displayed in the Browse Window whenever the Browse Window verse changes.

This button toggles the Browse Mode of the Browse Tab. The text of Bible versions can be displayed in the Browse Tab in two different modes:

Browse Tab Scrolling Shortcuts

The Browse Tab has several shortcuts to facilitate browsing through text. These shortcuts are shared with the Browse Window. When these shortcuts are applied, they also affect the function of the Browse Window. There are three different scroll modes. All three scroll modes apply to the Browse Window, but only two of them pertain to the Browse Tab.

To change the scroll mode place the mouse over the Browse Tab and click with the Left Mouse Button. Then press: Ctrl + Shift + á (the up arrow key). As you press this key combination three times you will see the current scroll mode shown the in Information Window in the status bar in the lower left hand corner of the BibleWorks Screen. The three scroll modes are:

Scroll Mode	Function
Non Synch Mode	In this mode the up and down arrow keys will cause the Browse Tab to go backwards and forwards one verse.
Synch Mode	This is the same as the previous mode, but all open Browse Windows will be scrolled as well. This scroll mode only applies to the Browse Window and secondary Browse Windows. It does not apply to the Browse Tab.
Scroll Mode Off	This is the default mode. The up and down arrow function as navigation keys within the Browse Tab.

If you RIGHT click with the mouse on a word in the Browse Tab you will be presented with a Context Menu that gives you quick access to a number of lookup and configuration options related to the word. The options presented will depend on the word that you click on. The following is a list of the possible options:

You can turn on the display of Strong's Numbers (for versions that have them) by selecting "Toggle Strong's Numbers" from the Browse Tab Options Button

menu. When you pass the mouse cursor over the number, the Strong's BDB/Thayer Lexicon entry will be displayed in the Information Window at the bottom of the Browse Tab (if the Information Window is displayed). You can also right click on the number and choose "Lookup Thayer/BDB Definition". When you choose this context menu option the Thayer/BDB Definitions Window will open. This window provides an interface that permits you to browse the Strong's Numbers.

You can open up additional Browse Windows by clicking on the Browse Window Options Button

and choosing "New Browse Window". The new Browse Window will not have the full functionality of the Main Window Browse Window. In particular it does not have its own full Analysis Window. All it will have is the equivalent of the Analysis Tab.

By default, when changing from one verse to the next in the Browse Window using the scrollbar buttons, the Browse Tab will automatically synchronize with the Browse Window display verse. This setting can be unchecked on the Browse Tab Options Button menu.

If you scroll the Browse Tab window and then want to synchronize the Browse Tab to the Browse Window once again, you can press the Synchronize Tab Browser button on the Browse Tab header. You can only synchronize the Browse Tab to the Browse Window. You cannot synchronize the Browse Window to the Browse Tab.
