Navigating major commentary series

[Kees]

I have a question about navigating the big commentary series. For example, I own the entire Word Biblical Commentary set. I am in my commentary on Zephaniah 3, but want to look up some information from the introduction to the volume on Nahum, Habbakuk and Zephaniah. Is there an easy way to find this introduction?

The only way I have found is just scrolling for a few hundred book pages. Is there something of a table of contents that I could use for this?

You will need to click on the contents pane button which appears when it is opened as a resource by itself. In the above screen shot  you can see the button in orange it's position is the same but grey and black and looks slightly different in closed mode but it is in the exact same location.

Thank you Daniel, this certainly helps. It seems to work only when the commentary is opened as a resource by itself. Am I right that a similar option is not available when I open the commentary from within a biblical text?

That's correct.  If you are opening the commentary by itself, its main purpose is to sync with a biblical text.  So, navigating will be done by keeping an alignment with the current location in your text.  You have many more navigation options when opened independently.

Thanks for clarifying. I found out that opening the commentary through the info pane using CMD-click (Mac) is the easiest way to go to the specific place in the commentary that I need while retaining the option to use the index. Hence, my problem seems to be fully solved. Thanks a lot.
