BibleWorks 9 vs Logos 4 Original Languages

[bkMitchell]

Nick & Brian, I would assume that all the versions could be made to scroll together, is that not correct??

Yes, they can be made to scroll together or as BibleWorks programs call it synchronize.

[DavidR]

Just jumping in to say that yes, the versions can be scrolled together by book, chapter, and verse. If they do get out of sync, there's a button to re-sync them. You can also add Analysis Window material (notes from the version, Greek or Hebrew lexicon, etc.) below each version in the view in the first picture that Brian posted.

Nick & Brian, or anyone, I would assume that all the versions could be made to scroll together, is that not correct??

Yes, synchronous scrolling can be toggled on or off.

Just a quick note to say thanks again to all here for your helpful replies. I finally ordered BibleWorks yesterday. Now that I'm recuperating from major foot surgery (old running injury), I figure I'll have more time to start working on that learning curve.

Thanks, Robrecht

Enjoy, you'll love the program and all of its capabilities. It is studying the Word as it truly deserves to be studied. There is not a day in the week that I am not in BibleWorks. Remember to run the Updater to bring your installation to the most recent build. The good thing is that the program is set by default to automatically update itself. Still a good thing to do manually upon your initial installation.

Good for you! I know you'll enjoy your time getting acquainted with BW. Here's wishing you a speedy recovery, and God's blessing and BW's assistance as you study His word.

Do take time to watch some of the training videos and, when in doubt, hold your mouse over wherever you have a question about how something works and press F1. Or you can ask things here and generally people are quick to respond if the answer is pretty straightforward.

Anyone else contemplating this decision should also know that Accordance will be available for Windows next year.

[calvary]

If I plan on using a PC, I don't see a very compelling reason to buy Accordance for Windows when I already have BW & Logos. They do offer a couple of resources in their packages I wouldn't mind having (Spicq & Jenni). Other than that, it's like reinventing the wheel IMO.
