Using the Bible Margin Links

Top  Previous  Next

Note: the amount of information the Bible Margin Links give you depends on how many library resources you have installed in SwordSearcher.  The evaluation download version of SwordSearcher only includes a few of the library resources from the full, Deluxe version.

 

The Bible panel can show links in the right margin making it easy to quickly access material related to the displayed verses. This is called the margin area and the links are called margin links.

These links can easily be turned off if you do not need them with the toolbar buttons, and you can also control which library resources are included in the margin area.

 

Using margin links for commentaries is simple: click the link to load the comment text in the Commentary Panel. Comment links are only shown when the commentary has a comment text specifically on the verse. (The Verse Guide can be used to find comments that reference the verse, if desired.)

 

Margin links for books will appear whenever a book has an entry that references the verse. For example, clicking the Chain link for John 1:10...

Clicking on an entry title, such as "Unknown, Christ" in the above sample, would load that entry in the Book panel with the reference highlighted.
