Hi All

I have a Word document with a bible that has been scanned and OCRed by someone. The OCR software has put some of the text in textboxes, so I need to copy their content to the main text and then remove the textboxes. Fortunately there doesn't seem to be too many of them.

However, I haven't been able to find an easy way to locate the textboxes. Do you know of any code that can be used to find them (such as ^p for paragraphs), or if not possible, some macro that would help me locate them?

Thanks!

Carlos

Thank you, Josh and Brent

I understand now.

Thanks!

Carlos

Hi Josh

I have read your Tooltip NT Guide and find it extremely useful. While most of the options in Tooltip NT are easy to understand, you mention many interesting points that save a lot of time.

I didn't find, however, any explanation about the "Trim RTF" feature in the Tools menu. I have tried that with different texts, but I don't see what it does. Could you or Brent please explain?

Thanks!

Carlos

Hi JunlinLiao

1) The CUV-S module have Chinese words/characters not displayed. (for reference, Acts 3:2-3)

I have installed that module and I don't see anything strange at Acts 3:2-3.

Please, check this:
- Are you using the last version of e-Sword (v10)? If not, install it.
- Did you download the official module with the built-in downloader inside e-Sword, or found it somewhere else? If not, try downloading it from there.
- Inside e-Sword, go to the Options - Fonts menu. What fonts do you have set there for Chinese? I have Simsun for Simplified Chinese and MingLiu for Traditional Chinese. Try setting those.

If none of this fixes the problem, would you please take a screenshot of those verses and send it to the forum or to me?

2) The search function does not work with Chinese words at all. When you search the Chinese versions, nothing turns up.

E-Sword has some problems seaching Chinese words, but there is a workaround: When you are in the search window, after you type the words you want to find, click on "Find all words" and replace it with "Regular expressions". It will work that way.

NOTE FOR JONATHON: Searching in non-Latin script modules has been improved a lot in the latest versions of e-Sword. I have been able to search Cyrillic and Arabic with the default setting, and Chinese with the regex option as well.

3) In the bibles window, you can select any verse in any of the English versions and the mouse pointer is accurate. However, you cannot select verses correctly with any of the Chinese versions. It's misaligned by several lines. That means several lines by the end of the chapters could never be selected and all the verse specific context menu driven functions no longer work as expected. For example, a right click of of verse Act 3:12 to paste to study notes, I get verse 7. I click on verse 10 then verse 6 is highlighted. I select text of verse 10-11 and then copy, verses 6-7 are copied.

I have tried that and it worked perfectly. I right-clicked in Acts 3:12, then "Paste in Study Notes" and it pasted the correct verse.

Definitely you have either an older versions of e-Sword or a defective module. I would recommend updating both.

Please, tell me how it went.

Regards,

Carlos

Hi Jonathon

Every time Rick releases a new version of e-Sword, it contains several things that he doesn't mention.
I started this thread, to document things I notice, that I don't remember being in earlier versions of e-Sword.

One new "feature" in v10.0.7 is that it blocks some resources by abbreviation. For instance, if you have a dictionary titled WordStudy, it won't appear in your list of dictionaries, unless you change the abbreviation to something else. I guess this doesn't happen if the file is the premium module.

Carlos

Hi

Well, another possibility is using some SQLite tool, like SQLite Manager, to export the text to .csv or .xml formats, then use BeST2 to convert those to e-Sword 8 format.

But I agree that it makes no sense to go backwards.

It happens whether I open up the document with T3 or paste in the data.

I also get an "RTF not available in clip board" pop up every time I try to hit the backspace key on my Windows 7 machine. This only happens when I have T3 open.

I may be the only one with this issue, as I have not heard that anyone else has it.

Hi Peter

I had the same problem recently with the backspace, and posted it here. Brent answered this, which fixed the problem:

"In T3 - click Options+T3 Clipboard HotKey. Set it to some obscure combination. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12 or some such. The problem should go away. Some how it must have been set to backspace on your system."

Carlos

-- New - Copy and Paste work on Verse List pane.

Thanks!

Thank you, Brent!

That fixed it.

Hi Brent

Please, can you help with two questions?

1. Whenever T3 is open, no matter in which program I am, if I press the backspace (that is, that key that deletes the last character) an attention window will appear saying "RTF Not Available in the Clipboard". That's really annoying. Right now I'm using v3.46. I'm not sure with what version it began to happen, but certainly it was recently, it never happened with the previous versions.

2. I hadn't installed T4 until today. I won't bother you with a lot of questions, since I will have to read all the documentation and the threads about it first, but I do have one question: is there a way to copy the list of references from the right panel, as can be done in T3?

Thank you!
