ScripturePad

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.


Formatting

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.


ScripturePad on Start

There is an option Preferences to display the last saved ScripturePad .xml file on start. This will over ride the quote and image options.


Right-Click Menu Export

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.


Quick Export

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.
