Morris Proctor's Tips & Tricks

If you find helpful articles on the web you can place links to them right in a note file.

• Open to any place on the web
• Right click in the address bar of your internet's browser and select Copy
• Right click in the text area of a Libronix note file and select Paste
• If the pasted address is not automatically hyperlinked then click the Tag References as Hyperlink icon on the note file formatting toolbar

If you want you can now change the text of the pasted address which is usually pretty long. Just select (highlight) the pasted address and type in any new text. The new text will still link to your website.

A classic book you no doubt have in your library is St Paul the Traveler and Roman Citizen by Ramsay. This book in essence is a commentary on Acts. The book, however, isn't versified. This means you can't use it like your other commentaries or link it to a Bible. How then do we find information about a passage? The Reference Browser which works like the Scripture reference index in the back of a book is the answer.

All throughout your Libronix books you'll come across red resource links. These are hyperlinks to other articles within the same book or even to other books. You can create similar hyperlinks in your note files.

For example, let's say you're studying Moses. You come across a great article about him in New Bible Dictionary (NBD). Rather than copying / pasting a lot of text into the note file, you can insert a hyperlink back to the article.

• Open a note file and the NBD to the article for Moses
• Add a note to this note file
• Click in the text area of your note file
• Click the Insert Reference icon on the note file formatting toolbar
• Select Resource on the Insert Reference dialog
• Select the Moses article from NBD in the Reference drop down list
• Click the box Specific to this resource
• Type whatever text you like in the Text to Display box
• Click Insert

Your Text to Display is inserted into the note file as red hyperlinked text. Click it and the NBD opens right to Moses!

Imagine you're studying the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5. As you investigate each verse, you want to archive your research in a note file called Be Attitudes that you've created at File | New. You can easily attach notes to Bible verses from within the Bible itself by right clicking anywhere within a verse in the Bible. From the right menu select Add a Note | Add a Note to Be Attitudes | Add a Note to "your verse". Notice your note is added to the note file. You can now type, copy / paste, or drag / drop your note text to the file.

As you're studying various words throughout the Bible you can in essence create your own "language dictionary" with the help of a note file.

• First, create a note file by choosing File | New. Name the file something like My Language Dictionary.
• Now open a dictionary or lexicon like the Enhanced Strong's Lexicon. Go to an article about grace or Greek Strong's Number 5485.
• Right click anywhere within the article.
• From the right menu select Add a Note | Add a Note to My Language Dictionary | Add a Note to G5485 or ?????.

Notice a note about your word has been added to the file and a note indicator has been placed in the lexicon. You can go to any article about your word in any dictionary and the indicator appears. Click it and your note about grace opens. Repeat these steps for every word you study and fairly soon you'll have an extensive language dictionary note file.

All throughout your Libronix books you come across blue Bible cross references. Just click one and your preferred Bible jumps to that location. In a note file, however, when you type a Bible reference it just enters as plain text. Not to worry. You can easily hyperlink your Bible references by clicking the Tag References as Hyperlink icon on the note file formatting toolbar. Once clicked, Libronix reads the entire note and automatically hyperlinks verses to your preferred Bible. As an added bonus, it also hyperlinks any websites mentioned in the text!

If you want to print an entire chapter from the Bible, just open a Bible to the desired chapter. Now Choose File | Print. The Libronix Print dialog automatically defaults to printing an entire chapter.

If your active window is a topically indexed book such as a dictionary or Lexicon, the print dialog will default to printing the entire article from the resource.
