These are the color codes used in e-Sword.

\cf1 - Black
\cf2 - Blue
\cf3 - Cyan
\cf4 - Light Green
\cf5 - Magenta
\cf6 - Red
\cf7 - Yellow
\cf8 - White
\cf9 - Dark Blue
\cf10 - Teal
\cf11 - Dark Green
\cf12 - Purple
\cf13 - Burgundy
\cf14 - Olive Green
\cf15 – Grey (50%)
\cf16 – Grey (25%)

1) In MS Word mark the section you want to color (e.g. Blue) like this [\cf2 some word are blue]
2) After you've marked all the sections with whatever colors you wish to use, convert the file to rtf, the import it into T3.
3) Go to Options>View RTF code.
4) Then do a search and replace, search for "[\cf2" replace with "{\cf2", and "]" with "}"
IMPORTANT: If "]" is used anywhere else in the document, then make sure that before step 1, in MS Word, replace "]" with "#" or any other unused symbol.
5) Finally in T3 replace all "#" with "]"

While it is true, that e-Sword expects for example, \cf11 to be dark green, if you only have one or two colors in a document, in the RTF view in T3, you will NOT see cf11. But this should not be a problem if you have the proper color definitions, which T3 does have when it assigns a color. When T3 generates an e-Sword module, it will automatically change the RTF tags to conform to e-Sword. It is not necessary to hand code the RTF when using T3.

Hi Patchworkid

Is there a quick method of coloring a method of - Example: [abc] then the next one will say [xyz] I use Word to fast my process of module making. This example is different words in brackets or ( ). I would like to color all the words in the brackets a different color.

If I understood correctly what you want to do, this is easy to do in Word, using search and replace with wilcards enabled.

Let's say you want to color red all words between brackets. (I'm using Word 2003, I know the menus are very different in Word 2007 or above but once you find "Replace" the proceeding is similar).

1.- Go to Edit - Replace

2.- In the Search box type:
(\[*\])
where * means everything, brackets are marked with \ so that they are taken literally, and the parentheses memorize the content.

3.- In the Replace box type:
\1
that means "everything that was between parentheses in the box above".

4.- Press the "More" or "More options" button, and check the "Use wildcards" checkbox.

5.- Select the "Format" button, then Font, and select the red tone (or whatever) you want.

Well, so far we are telling Word to find anything that is between brackets and color it red.

It's more easier when you do it than when you read it. :-)

Carlos

Hi ,
I did a quick test of what colors from office Word -> T3 -> e-Sword works. With all the colors Word has to offer there is only two that works, they are Red and Bright Yellow.

BH. Is there a quick method of coloring a method of - Example: [abc] then the next one will say [xyz] I use Word to fast my process of module making. This example is different words in brackets or ( ). I would like to color all the words in the brackets a different color.

can you help me?

thanks

I was functioning on a low about of sleep yesterday. Let me ask this question on what you want to do, are you wanting to color all the works with say, square brackets to ALL the SAME color? Something like this? This is a [sample] of what [you] want to [do]?

If So, then yes, T3 can do this in the latest version.

First, what T3 has had some some time, is the ability to color a specific book reference construct that enclosed a book name, page and paragraph number within curly brackets. Example: {SC 43.2} would be the book titled, "Steps to Christ" page 43, paragraph 2. Under Options in T3, there are 3 settings, one to Remove these references, one to enable the coloring of the references when tooltipping, and the third to select the color. There are additional setting, when can be changed in the "Settings" tree, activated by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S, and the BookRefFontSize key, which will set the font size for these references. The latest version adds the option to change the delimiters with the BookRefDelimit key. The default is "{}". This can be changed to square brackets. "[]" if you desire.

Now, with the delimiters set, color set, font set, then you can click the Tools menu, and select the "Color Book References {}" menu. Note, this menu still shows curly brackets, but if you have changed them to square brackets, then the square brackets will work. You could use "<>" or "()" or what ever pair makes sense to your project.

Does this help???

Does this mean that if I wanted to delete all hyperlinks in T3 (they would show up as <http://www.blahblahblah.blah/etc.>) that all I would have had to do was replace "\<*\>" with wildcards on, and replace it with nothing? If so, I wasted a lot of time....

I think you are referring to the Word, not T3, right since T3 does not have the wildcard replacements?
As for T3, the I just tested the removal function,and it was only working with curly brackets as this was hard coded in the program. It is now user selectable and will be in the next update.

Sorry, that's what I meant was in word. Cool on the new update!

Yes, you can do that in Word.

If you work with texts, you will save a lot of time and effort if you learn how to use regular expressions, that is, wildcard search and replace in Word.

I am not complaining. Thank you so much for this easy-to-use tool!

My only suggestion if/when a future release comes out is that you allow someone to hit ctrl-b to bold a section of notes or Scripture.

Also a question: does it matter, when making a commentary, if all the books and verses are in the Biblical order? Or could someone add a Genesis commentary at the end of a complete NT commentary?
