e-Sword User's Guide [Updated for e-Sword 10.2.1]

Any idea on when the User's Guide will be updated to v. 12.1.0 of e-Sword? Is there anything I might be able to do to help? 

Respectuflly,

Mike 

Kinda wondering that myself. What about for the Tooltip Editor.?

Tooltip has a users guide that comes with the program and can be found by clicking help from the main menu across the top of the Tooltip window. Clicking "Help" will open the help dropdown menu, the last item on the menu is labeled Tooltip NT-2.10.pdf clicking this will open the Tooltip users guide which is in pdf form. The users guide is 123 pages in length and covers all that is needed to create modules 

e-Sword User's Guide has been updated to PDF version 10.4 and is available on the following link from BIBLE SUPPORT.

http://www.biblesupp...-revision-8114/

The e-Sword User's Guide.pdf and the License.pdf is updated in This PC > Windows (C:) > C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword to the last available edition, when you reload e-Sword from https://www.e-sword.net/

To access the e-Sword User's Guide when e-Sword is running, press the F1 function key on the keyboard. Use Ctrl+F to search for a word in the PDF document. 

When using a laptop, you may need to hold down the "Fn" key when you use "F1" because the manufacturer may implement multiple uses of the same numerical keyboard keys.

Hello, 

This user guide is very thorough but I have a Mac with e-Sword X 8.0.1. Know of a user guide for this? Thanks, Pops1

Rick Meyers thinks this

So what do you find in the Help menu? (I don't have a Mac computer).

When you choose the menu item "Help">"e-Sword X Help" on the Mac, it takes you to this website:

https://www.e-sword.net/mac/help.htm

It gives you the basics about how to use e-Sword X, but certainly not the details that are found in the User Guide for the Windows version, which is indeed very thorough. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent user guide for the Mac version.

One thing a person can do is just poke around the menus, see what's there. Right-click (or two-finger click if you're using a MacBook) in various places to see what comes up in the resulting context menu. In a number of cases, things are simpler on the Mac version than in the Windows version. And, of course, if someone is really stuck, ask somebody on this forum for help. However many things can be figured out pretty easily if you take a look at what's there in the menus.

Rick Meyers thinks this

e-Sword, capitalizing on what we have learned from 15 years of writing Bible software. e-Sword X is feature rich and user friendly. As your library grows you will appreciate the intuitive layout and synchronization of resources. e-Sword X is so easy to use you may never need to click on the Help menu!

So what do you find in the Help menu? (I don't have a Mac computer).

This is what actually has kept me using e-Sword for PC over the years - The ease of use and the ease of access to the resources. Moreover e-Sword is extremely intuitive that it genuinely doesn't take much to learn how to use the program.

I remember saying quite a few years ago, I think about 13 or 14 years ago that e-Sword doesn't really need a help file. That was during the version 6x and/or 7x versions of the program. And in many if not most or all respects the same is true today.

Over the years, I think as more improvements Rick made to the program, the ease of use of the program has increased, particularly since the release of version 9.

I've been using e-Sword for PC since 2005 (Version 7x series was the beginning of my adventure).

Trust that all of you will be blessed as you continue with your journey with e-Sword.

Blessings,

Help menu is pretty generic. 2 options: 1) Reset preferences 2) e-Sword Help. The latter is basic how to use info. but not at all like the 22 chapters of Josh's tutorial for PC e-Sword. I'd like something similar to that. I use to have a PC and it was a lot easier to find 'how to' info

If you go to my DRailed4700 YouTube Channel there's a heap of how to kind of stuff there for e-Sword. And once there, Subscribe, and hit the Notification Bell to receive news on the latest content/upload.

If you hit the Playlists tab, you will see the e-Sword Help and Tutorials Playlist, which at the moment contains 63 videos. And if there isn't one there that you need help with, just drop me a line or two on here, letting me know what you want, and I'll see what I can do.

Moreover, you will see that this channel has more to do with Train Simulator despite the fact that e-Sword content outstrips Train Simulator content. Me thinks that I'm doing something wrong

Blessings,
