Working With Commentaries
Like the Dictionaries and Bibles, Commentaries are navigated by Tabs.
To view a specific Comment either select a Reference in the Bible Panel (If Link to Reference
is selected) or open the Verse List by clicking the Show/Hide Verse List Button and select a Verse from the Verse List, or begin typing a verse in the Verse Entry. The Verse List will scroll
with each character entered. Either Left-Click the selection in the Verse List or press the Enter
key and the Comment will display.
A Blue Book Icon (
) is displayed
in the Commentary Tab(s) when the selected entry is found
in that module. To view the entry, click the Tab. The selected Commentary module will show the
selected entry.
Note:
Any of the underlined references in any Commentary Panel will show a pop-up
of the
verse when the mouse cursor is placed over the reference. Also, a left-click on the
reference will cause that verse to be displayed in context in the Bible Window.
Shown with optional blue background color
The Drop-down Arrow will display a list of all the loaded Commentary modules over the tab
area even if some of the Tabs are hidden (See image below).
The Toolbar Buttons on the Commentary Panel from left to right are:
· History Back
Go back to previously viewed pages
· History Forward
Return Forward to previously viewed pages
· Search Current Commentary
Search the current commentary in the Library Search tab in Master Control Panel
· Sync to Reference (Toggle)
Allow Left-Click on any underlined reference or verse in Bible Panel to update the
Commentary Tabs and Display.
Note:
The Commentary Tabs and Display is only updated from a Reference when the Sync to
Reference Button is ON. If it is OFF and a reference is clicked in any panel, even in the
Commentary Panel itself, the verse will display in context in the Bible Panel, but the
Commentary Tabs and Display will not update to reflect the new verse.
