A tool that reads twm book files, finds every hyperlinked scripture references and builds a commentary file that will list all the books that a verse is found in. Clicking on the link in the commentary instantly takes you to the bookmark for that scripture reference. See the screen-shot below. (In the screen shot top right is the "Index" commentary created by the program and lower right is the book opened to the link that was clicked on.)
[it can optionally turn scripture references with Roman Numeral Chapters into verse hyperlinks as theWord doesn't yet do that.]
What I need:
A beta tester with a good knowledge of computers and the patience of a saint.
How to use it:
steps (quite tedious!)
- 1) backup all your files!
2) for each book you want included in the index you MUST prepare it as follows:- a) unlock the module if it is locked
b) set the title name to something useful (I recommend "Author - Title" so that books by the same author are listed together.)
c) detect all verses
d) make it "uncompressed" if it is compressed
e) convert it to rtf format
f) if it was locked you can now re-lock it if desired
4) run it and wait... (took 3 hours for 150 books, some of which were in Roman Numerals)
5) copy the index.cmt.twm and the modified books to the book directory used by theWord on your system (NB: Make sure you have backups of the original files!)
enjoy - a) unlock the module if it is locked
- 1) it optionally hyperlinks scripture references with Roman Numeral Chapters
2) It searches for hyperlinked verses and inserts a twm Bookmark in front of them [NB: Modifying the original book file] and writes the verse reference, book title and topic into a temporary database table. The topic is hyperlinked to the bookmark so that when you click on it you are taken to the location in the book. (verse ranges are expanded to multiple entries, chapters are not.)
3) after all files have been modified it goes through the temporary table and builds a commentary entry for each verse found.
