#38302 Insert Scriptures into Word Documents

Posted by garyworth on 05 June 2020 - 04:13 AM

Thanks Stephen,

I am aware of the e-Sword Hotkey program and it sounds very versatile and lacks the restrictions that I currently have in regards to its use with many text editors and word processors. However, for those using Word this program would not compare with my macro as my macro achieves a far better output if that is what you are wanting to achieve. It corrects all the grammar eg 

For Rom 3:10 e-Sword macro and Hotkey will return:    As it is written: "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE; 

 

My macro will return:   'As it is written: "THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE."' 

And besides that it will also give you the choice of replacing the capitals and give:  'As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one."' 

 

The returned script will also be in the same style and fonts as the working document whereas e-Sword returns its own formatting which is a real pain.

 

For those using who use Word  and are looking for a good result without having to adjust the grammar and formatting, my macro is far superior. 

 

Hope that makes sense.

#37744 Insert Scriptures into Word Documents

Posted by garyworth on 22 May 2020 - 05:27 AM

Attached File  e-Sword Macros.pptx   3.74MB   98 downloadsI have developed a macro to insert Scriptures into Word in a very clean and user friendly manner. I use the current available e-Sword macros but make them a lot more user friendly and the resulting Scriptures have punctuation corrected and is in the correct formatting according to the document. The macro works on one reference but also on a list of Scriptures and even for a group of verses overlapping to the next chapter (eg Rom 7:24-8:2).  I have also developed an accompanying macro which inserts all the Scriptures in a complete document either as footnotes or in the main body of the document. 

The macro also incorporates e-Sword Search, Bible Translation and Copy Style and calls for them within Word.

I have a PowerPoint to briefly explain and show how it all works. I am not a macro expert but I have had this working on my PC for quite a while and enhanced it greatly as time has past. My work has only been on a PC and not a Mac.

If this interests you have a look at my PowerPoint and I would love to receive some indication of your interest. Not sure if it might be needed by others as I have a few friends who love it.
