I had come across the dictionary version of this and downloaded it and found the commentaries very good.....Except their was no way to link to them or reference the resource when reading the bible...So now I have downloaded the Bible version but the commentary references are not shown in the bible version......

 

In other words I have no way of knowing if the EWB has a commentary on a particular verse or subject unless I just read through the commentary itself....Am I missing something??  

 

Cheers, jeff

Hi Jeff,

 

Bible Tab name               EWB-CB

Dictionary Tab Name       CB-App

Commentary  Tab Name  CBNotes

 

Link to the Bible

http://www.biblesupp...bible-1909bblx/

 

Link to the Dictionary & Commentary (They come in the same download)

http://www.biblesupp...s-and-graphics/

 

 

Now, please forgive me if you know all of the following but I do not want to assume anything.

 

1) You need to have each resource pulled up in their respective windows.

2) You need to make sure that both the dictionary and commentary have the "Synchronize" button turned ON (the button with the chain on it)

3) In the Bible window, go to Gen 1:1

4) the commentary "should" automatically go to the entry for Gen 1:1

5) In the commentary you will see text in Green which is underlined. like this. App-4.

 

That text is a "Word" which has an entry in the dictionary. That entry is the associated appendix. In this case Appendix 4.

 

Step #2 could very likely be your issue.

 

I hope this helps, and again, please forgive me if you have done/know all of this.

Hi

concerning the Bullinger set, I need to redo the dictionary for mysword.
more than likely you will need to copy and paste App-(number) to the dictionary to search.
To see the verse in the commentary, you will need 2 screens one with the bible and commentary. And click on each verse.

 

please read http://www.biblesupp...ysword-version/  What Peter said about the Appendix part of the dictionary 

Thanks

Hi Thanks Guys!

 

So I read Peter's note also.....I'm thinking the best way to resolve this is to manually add tag links in the bible @ verse and subject references that correspond to the EWB Dict-Com? Or would you have a better workaround?

 

Cheers, jeff

You said....

"I had come across the dictionary version of this and downloaded it and found the commentaries very good...."

did you mean the comments IN the dictionary?

There is also a Commentary file, which happens to list the appropriate areas in the dictionary to read.
The links in the commentary -> to -> the dictionary entry are what do not currently work.

So.... you can have the bible open and go to a verse. The commentary WILL follow you to its entry for that verse.

Switch to the commentary, read it's entry. You will see there in the text a mention of App-1 or maybe App-5 (that is, IF an entry exists in the dictionary. And that is what you want to know, correct?).

Just switch to the dictionary and do a search on the numeric part. i.e. search for 1 when you see App-1 or 5 when you see App-5. This WILL take you to the appropriate dictionary entry.

By the way, do NOT do your search using the magnifying glass button!
You will see a row of buttons at the top of your screen.

Left most if the resource that is currently displayed. "Dict" for dictionary.
Next is the Dictionary name: "Bullinger-ApCompanionBible"
Next is a Left Arrow
Next is the topic being displayed from the dictionary.
THAT is what you want to press.
Enter the number portion from the commentary entry (App-14 = 14)
Mysword will start showing all entries that start with "14"
Just select the correct one.

Is that better brother?

The picture is from the MySword site. It is not showing the dictionary screen but you can see the location of the button (#6) to use to do your search.
