Hello,

 

I've been using ESword for years and love it. 

 

I've decided to try and record myself doing Bible studies on video and upload it to our church web page. 

 

I was looking around for ways to be able to mark up, underline, highlight Bible texts and, what do you know, it seems ESword-the software I use anyway for Bible study prep-is the best option. 

 

So I've just discovered the ctrl+h and ctrl+m highlighter and underlining tools in Esword. 

 

Here's my question:

How do I erase or delete my markings after I'm done with them?

 

I plan to show myself marking up the text in the video while I'm teaching, but after I'm done with the teaching, I don't want my markings permanently in my Esword Bible translation. 

 

When I close and reopen Esword, I see the markings and highlights I previously made. 

 

How do I delete my markings so that they don't appear after I've closed and reopened Esword?

 

Thanks,

 

John

I don't know how this works on the Mac version, but on the Windows version open the "e-Sword" folder you'll find within your "Documents" folder and simply delete the file "markup.ovlx", or rename it if you want to use it later.

 

You can also select the menu "Bible">"Markup File" to create and load different markup files. I guess any file that ends with .ovlx will be seen as a markup file.

I guess any file that ends with .ovlx will be seen as a markup file.

Only with e-Sword. As for anything else its a no. Moreover, (and sorry for being somewhat pedantic) the ovlx file is not just seen as a markup file. It actually is a markup file.
