Ron Bailey Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Here is an image of my setup. Click for large view - Uploaded with Skitch I wanted to expand the context of the NKJV version in a full window so that I could see the arrowed verse in its proper context. However when I do 'CMD+5' it produces an expanded context in all the versions of the original workspace. I then have to close all the superfluous windows so that I can see my reference in its full textual context. How do I get an expanded context which is restricted to the version in which I have poised my cursor and then activated CMD+5? Many thanks.

thomas1234 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hello Ron Since everything within a zone gets expanded, you need to have an additional zone that contains only the NKJV. Open the NKJV from your Library Window, then click-and-drag the tab around your screen to see where you want it to land (you will see a shadow outline of the possible positions of the rectangle as you move you cursor around). Then simply release it wherever you want it to land. I hope that helps, Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 If you tie that separate tab in a separate zone to the original search tab, and have it display the entire text (Verses search with *), then it will always have the same verse at the top of the window as your search tab has. You can use the Tabs & Zones submenu in the Window menu to cycle through and act on tabs and zones. The various key command combinations are all listed there for reference.

Ron Bailey Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thank you both. I have tried but just can't get my head around zones! So I have just avoided them. I will review Dr J's podcast and see if I can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bailey Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 OK. I think I am getting there. [Click for large view - Uploaded with Skitch The bottom left zone is tied to my Marked Bible tab and to get my context I just highlight the verse in the bottom left hand pane and CMD+5. I have found out how to magnify my main working zone and then shrink it back to its normal size. I think I will mostly operate in that magnified Mixed Zone but with the 2 lower zones hidden until I want to find the context. Is this the best way of doing it? It seems a little complicated.
