Configuring Verse Formatting

Top  Previous  Next

Many of the functions for copying, exporting, or printing verses in SwordSearcher allow you to define the format of the verse output. To configure how verse text is formatted when copied to the clipboard, select Configure Copy/Export Formatting from the Edit menu on the main SwordSearcher menu.

Style: There are several styles to choose from. Experiment by changing the style and viewing the sample. The style controls the basic formatting of verses -- where the reference will be, whether or not each verse is on its own line, etc.

 

Include Version Tag: When checked, the output will include the version abbreviation.

 

Include Footnotes: When checked, the output will include any footnotes in braces {}. Note that not all Bible texts have footnotes.

 

Include Brackets for Italic Words: When checked, any words that would be displayed in italics will be enclosed in brackets [].

 

Note that these settings do not affect text that is copied by marking text with the mouse. In that case, the text is copied just as it appears on the screen. The Verse Export Formatting options are applied when using the various Copy Verses functions in the software, such as when you right-click a verse in the Bible panel and select the Copy Verse item, or when using the Copy Verses function on the Edit menu or toolbar.
