ScripturePad is an integrated editor that allows the user to prepare lessons, sermons, or study
notes from within Bible Analyzer. ScripturePad has the ability to open, save, and print .xml files
(also .rtf files) and can receive exported verses or text selections from the right-click menu.
The first Tab of the Results Panel is always the ScripturePad and is titled S-Pad. It cannot be
deleted like the other Results Panel Tabs.
When Bible Analyzer is first started, an initial screen will be displayed showing the current date
and a notable quote. Press Ctrl+N (or use the ScripturePad Toolbar/Menu item) to clear the ScripturePad display.
ScripturePad can open and save .txt, rtf, and .xml files. Saving in the XML format will retain text
formatting and is default. To open a saved file select Open File in the ScripturePad Menu
or hit Ctrl+O. To save select Save File in the menu, click the Save Button on the ScripturePad toolbar,
or hit Ctrl+S.
Note:
Although ScripturePad can open and save RTF files, it is preferred to edit and save files
in XML format until finished with them in ScripturePad. Then they can be saved to RTF to
be opened in another editor.
ScripturePad can print to any installed printer by clicking the Print Button on the Toolbar or
selecting Print from the ScripturePad Menu. Print Preview is also available in the Menu.
A pencil icon will show up in the Tab of ScripturePad (as shown) if it has unsaved data.
The first Button in the Toolbar opens the ScripturePad Menu which contains all the editor's
formatting tools.
Text formatting tools such as bold, italic, underline, copy, paste, undo, font style, alignment,
paragraph spacing, etc. are available from the Toolbar, the ScripturePad Menu (the down arrow
in the Toolbar), and some in the Right-Click context menu.
ScripturePad will support text background highlighting and live verse references. To highlight
select the desired text and hit the Highlight button in the toolbar. The highlight color can be
changed in the ScripturePad Menu.
To make all references on a page live, click the Link all References on Page Button. It
will
attempt to make links of all references on the page.
There is an option Preferences to display the last saved ScripturePad .xml file on start. This will
over ride the quote and image options.
Bible verses, verse ranges, and text selections can be directly exported from the other panels and
windows into ScripturePad through a Right-Click Menu.
Note:
Exported verses or selections are also copied to the clipboard.
Bible Verses can be exported and formatted very quickly to ScripturePad with a single keystroke.
Simply select a range of verses with the mouse and then hit the Insert key (Alt+I on Mac). The
verses will be formatted according to the settings in Preferences and exported to ScripturePad.
It is not important where in the initial and ending verse the selection starts and ends, the entire
verse will be exported.
Export Page to MultiWindowScripturePad pages can be exported to the MultiWindow with the Export to MW Button. The
pages exported cannot be edited in the MultiWIndow but they can still be edited in ScripturePad.
