    Default Feature Request

    I have been using BibleWorks since the beginning of this year and I cannot imagine a day without it.

    One feature that I would really like and I think it would be easy to implement is to have the 'copy' to or save verse list to a tab delimited format with a new line to separate the verse groupings so I can put it into Excel as side by side verses instead of verticle.

    Hi Kimba,

    Assuming that you are using BW8, I expect that you could export the list with the "Add new line after each verse" option, then export to Word. Within Word replace the line break with a tab. Then copy the entire list to Excell.

    Glenn,

    I think yuou are correct, I have been doing that but it shows me that I will need to write a macro so that this would be a more automated approach.

    I still cannot believe the power of Bibleworks, 20+ years ago I could not even dream of these features, but today I am overloaded with possibilities and in seconds answers.

    Thanks for a great program.

    The replacing command is easy enough, you don't have to write a macro for it. Simply hit "control-h" in Word, in the find row type "^p" and in the replace row type "^t" (minus quotation marks). You certainly could write a macro for it, but it would take about as long to click the macro button as it would to do that.
