Brad Pribbenow Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I'm searching for a solution to a problem that I'm guessing is fairly obvious--maybe I've overlooked something. I'd like to be able to set two Bible text windows side-by-side to compare their content. For example, 1. I'd like to compare the quote of Joel 2:28-32 in Acts 2:17-21 with the actual text in Joel 2:28; or 2. I'd like to compare the text of Exodus 34:14-16 with Numbers 25:1-3 I cannot break the "linked" movement between my different text windows. Am I missing something obvious in this?

Helen Brown Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Press the option key each time you scroll, and you will scroll only the selected pane. This lets you line up two panes any way you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Pribbenow Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi Helen: Thanks for the quick reply. The option-click/scroll doesn't seem to work. Both texts continue to scroll the same. Plus, what if I want to take the 2nd text window to another text multiple books away (e.g. from the OT to the NT, etc.)? Do I have to scroll that whole distance? Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Sorry, it's the control key not the option. If you enter the two passages in your verses search it will be easier to scroll to the other passage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Pribbenow Posted November 26, 2010 Author Share Posted November 26, 2010 Excellent! That worked perfectly. I'm not able to use my touchpad to scroll--I have to use the down/up arrows on the scroll bar on the right side of the window(s). But it scrolls perfectly this way. Thanks!

Erwin Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I am trying something along these lines that I was shown at the SBL recently, was quite simple, but I forgot. How to I display in the same workspace a GNT text and a LXX text in the other window, or a GNT text in one pane, a Fathers text in the other one within the same workspace?

Helen Brown Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 In either case you need to have the text in separate tabs, but in version 9 you simply drag one tab to the edge of the workspace to create a new zone with that tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
