So, in the direction you are taking with the macro, that is the best thing you can do, and then you will achieve your result. And I think your headache will disappear

 

Also, just a minor suggestion regarding the macro. Once you have created it, upload the file to here as a tool. Also if you would, I would love to have a copy of the code. I just might learn something new with it. Click here to get my email address.

 

Blessings,

Thanks again for your help. I have now finished my macro. It includes code to bring commentary comment into the right order. As this is a macro to use modules outside eSword/TheWord I should probably not post it here, but this is a link to the Logos forum where I have posted it: https://community.lo...217.aspx#846217

Blessings,

Sorry, for being confusing

Somebody here might stone me if I say that , but what I am actually trying to accomplish is to convert e-Sword and/or TheWord commentary files to the personal book format for Logos Bible software. Logos modules are not saved in databases, but the experience is more like scrolling through a Word or PDF file. There are invisible markers that link paragraphs to a Bible reference. To make your own modules you save them in docx format with manually added markers. In a way, this format is quite similar to the format you enter into Tooltip and it is quite easy to convert the Tooltip markers to Logos ones using macros in Microsoft Word. Because so much clean-up has already been done on the modules, it would save a lot of work to use existing e-Sword or TheWord modules as opposed to start from something from Archive.org or similar.

Because I don't have the original RTF files that module makers used in Tooltip, I need to go backwards from the e-Sword or TheWord files. Database2RTF actually does sort the output, it seems, but the way it sorts is first all book comments, then all chapter comments, then all verse comments. For Logos, I need the same order as what you would expect in any printed commentary:

1. Introductory comments for the book of Genesis

            2. General comments about Genesis 1 (not in all commentaries)

                       3. Detailed comments about Genesis 1:1-2

                                etc.

I am not expecting anyone here to spend any time helping me. I was just wondering if there was an easy way to have Database2RTF give the desired output. If not, I will write my own Word macro to take care of that. With the markers already there and Bible references connected to those markers being totally regular, it would actually be rather easy to do so.

Thank again!

Thanks, I had tried that already. Tooltip also keeps all the book comments first and then all chapter and all verse comments. I guess I need a fancy Word macro to bring everything into the right order. I'll work on that.

Not sure if we understand each other correctly here. I was talking about the rtf output from Database2RTF. It is always sorted this way: first all book commentaries, then all chapter commentaries and then all verse based commentaries. Is there any way to bring the content into the right order?
