Debian stable should be another good choice. A KDE live/install iso can be downloaded from https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/. A KDE desktop will provide the most Windows-like experience. Actually it's more like Windows on steroids. An appimage of the latest WINE ver...

There are two severe font issues under Linux:

• viewtopic.php?t=11504

• viewtopic.php?p=46669

The second one I have determined to be specifically due to the TRichView control. I am unaware of any fix for either of these.

The user would never see it as extra layouts. They would only know that there is a pristine template that can be restored from a Restore Template menu that would merely correspond to the Save Current Layout that there is now. What is immediately under the layout menu would seamlessly save & rest...

My suggestion is to have two copies of the layout when created. The one copy would be a template to store the original and which could be restored if needed. The other copy would be a "live" layout that would automatically save without input from the user whenever changing to another layou...

I may be confused (happens a lot), but I thought the strategy of using formatting in the msWord search was because msWord can't do a real regex search. (In my msWord days, it used codes like ^p for paragraph and ^t for tab - and called it a "wildcard" search or somesuch.) The original com...

If that is a factor I would recommend Libreoffice Plus the Alternate Search & Replace extension for Libreoffice writer in order to find differently formatted verse numbers while keeping any other numbers in the text. TotheWord would also work but will have a larger learning curve and require mo...

In his initial response to this thread, Jon suggested : "The removal of the verse numbers should be easy enough in something like MS Word. Search and replace by the color and size of the font." That seems to be the only way we have been able to do it. If we are Very Careful with the searc...

At the expense of being more cryptic, you could shorten it slightly to: (^[\d\s]*[\w]+? [\d]+:[\d\-]+ )|([\d]+ )|( \| [\w]+ \|)

Try: (^[0-9 ]*[A-Za-z]+? [0-9]+:[0-9\-]+ )|([0-9]+ )|( \| [A-Z]+ \|)

I missed a "+", which LibreOffice requires. It should actually be a "+?" to explicity tell it to be "ungreedy" in selecting and not include the space. To remove all references and numbers, try: (^[A-Za-z0-9]+? [0-9]+:[0-9\-]+ |[0-9]+ | \| [A-Z]+ \|) If you wish to keep ...

To get the output per your example, you may want to try fixing the output using regex in a text editor like Notepad++ if you can't get what you want through theWord. In this case, using regex to search for a pattern like (^[A-Za-z0-9] [0-9]+:[0-9\-]+ |[0-9]+ | \| [A-Z]+ \|) may give the desired outp...

Greek letters are typed but what is shown in the search edit box is English characters and question marks.

Yes, and the problem is still there.

Correction. Greek characters are being entered correctly in a commentary module with build 1532. It is only in the Bible search window where they are still not being entered correctly.

Hello. 1. First issue: I wonder why I can't enter Greek characters into the Bible search view. But I can cut-n-paste Greek characters from the Bible view into the Bible Search view just fine. For example, when I enter πρόσκαιροί manually it fails (like in the first attached image). But when I paste...
