    Default Newbie question regarding English/Greek layout

    Hi,

    I am using Bibleworks 10 on an Apple MacBook. I am busy doing a Masters in Theology, New Testament, at the University of South Africa.

    In the browse screen, it shows me a single verse, and the Greek text beneath it.

    If I search for a pericope or a chapter, I get the whole section, and then underneath it, the Greek for the section.

    Is there a way of setting it up so that for a portion, I see English verse, Greek text, next English verse, Greek text, etc, etc, etc?

    Thanks in advance

    Tim

    See if the Parallel Versions feature does what you want. Go to Tools > Viewing the Text > Parallel Versions Window

    Hi Tim,

    You can use the spin buttons at the top right of the Browse Window to change verses. If you have a single verse displaying, with (for example) an English version and a Greek text below it, this display format will continue verse after verse by using the spin buttons.

    You can also have one version (for example, an English text) in the Browse Window as the search version, and display browse mode using the browse button in the upper left corner of the Browse Window, and then display the Greek text in the Browse Tab in browse mode on the right side. This display will be very similar to the Parallel Versions Window.

    I suggest watching the BibleWorks YouTube videos. They will offer a lot of suggestions for how to use the program in ways that will be beneficial to your study.

    Blessings,
    Glenn

    I was in the Tools > Options area trying to figure how to make my Browse Window return to default colors, no highlighting, can't find it. I'm grateful to whoever might troubleshoot me...again. (You guys are great. I considered selling out but these forums are better than support options over at the other place.)


    Wanted to place a screenshot here but keep getting a message telling me my attempted post is 27,000 characters and would I please shorten to 25000 characters. Attempted a different browser and same thing.

    I'm double stuck


    My Browse Window results after a search are often regular formatting interspersed with highlighted words in various shades of pink with dark pink colored letters, and also green letters. Hard to read and wish to just return to default settings

    Default BW 10 Greek Usage

    Hi,

    I'm looking at a single-entry form of
    5487 χαριτόω,
    κεχαριτωμένη (Luke 1:28 BYZ)

    The stuff in blue is where my question lies.
    5487 χαριτόω
    Meaning: 1) to make graceful 1a)
    charming, lovely, agreeable
    2) to peruse with grace, compass with favour
    3) to honour with blessings
    Origin: from 5485; TDNT - 9:372,1298; v
    Usage: AV - be highly favoured 1, make accepted 1; 2


    5772 Tense - Perfect (See 5778)
    Voice - Passive (See 5786)
    Mood - Participle (See 5796)



    When I check either my copy of The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible or BibleWorks itself I find no entries above 5624. Thus the Strong's reference numbers 5772, 5778, 5786, and 5796 are meaningless to me.

    Would anyone explain where I could have found the explanation for this in BibleWorks Help Section?

    Glenn
