In the BibleWorks Browse Window it is possible to display the Greek morphological databases in interlinear format. This makes it more readable and appealling, as one can view the Greek text, the lemma, and the morphological codes on a word-by-word basis.

This interlinear format is made possible due to the programming design of the Browse Window in the program. The actual appearance of the content is quite different, and one can view that format by unchecking "Interlinear Mode" on the SHOW/HIDE sub-menu, found on the VIEW menu. It is in this form that the text will appear when copied and pasted into an external document, or even into the BibleWorks 7 Editor window.

It is possible to reproduce the interlinear format of the Greek morphological text when exporting it to an external source such as a word processing document. This is accomplished by means of macro language available in the target program. The key to accomplishing this goal is to set up the text in a table format. Each word is represented by three cells, and the cells are then arranged so that they flow left-to-right, as does regular Greek text.

Attached to this posting is a Word document in zip format. The document contains a macro that will effectively produce the interlinear format desired.
