these answers don't solve your problem you may email us (mail@ellisenterprises.com) or call our
technical support line at 1. Where's the Old
Testament #1 Where's the Old Testament? Bible Library for Windows ver 2.0 does not allow for resizing, therefore if the Windows "taskbar" (where the start button is located) properties are not set to "Auto Hide" it will cover up approximately 5% of the total viewing area. This causes the lower or upper sections to be obscured and the user does not see how to locate the Old Testament books. To remedy this you will simply need to click the "start button" then click on "settings" then click on "taskbar" and check the option labeled "auto hide" then click on "ok".
Back to Additional Technical Support Questions #2 Error reading CD-ROM Drive Bible Library for Windows version 2.0 searches all available drives for the Bible Library CD-ROM to automatically link the program files with the data files. Because Zip drives, Syquest drives, CD-ROM drives etc. all appear the same, the program will indicate an error if one of those drives does not have any media in it (disc, cartridge, tape etc.). At that point you may choose to ignore the error (by clicking the ignore button) and the program will continue normally. This error will not occur if the drive has media in it. You may also download our free version 2.1 update that has intelligent error correcting code built-in and this will not occur even if the drive has no media. The update may be found on our download page. Back to Additional Technical Support Questions #3 Printing Text Printing from the Bible Library program is pretty powerful, in the way that it handles the infomation to be printed. The first examples illustrate the use of the Windows clipboard. You can highlight the text to be printed and press (CTRL+C) and this will send the data to the Windows clipboard and that data is now ready to be pasted into any Windows program. Windows95 users need only to highlight the text and then, with the cursor over the highlighted text, press the right mouse button and select copy. The clipboard options built into the Bible Library program allow the user to copy the selected data to a file named "clipbord.txt" this option will open the file and paste the text at the end of that file, then the next time that data is sent to the Bible Library clipboard file the program will open the same file and once again paste the data at the end of that file and then close the file. When you are ready to print the data you simply need to open the clipboard file and select print. The options for the Bible Libray clipboard are as follows: The top menu item under the menu option "Clipboard" indicates the name and location of the file in which the program adds the data to. The next menu item allows the user to change the clipboard filename. Next is the option that allows the user to delete the clipboard file (starting fresh). The next menu item is the "paste to clipboard" option which copies only the selected text to the clipboard file. The second to the last menu item is the option that allows you to highlight any portion of the verse(s) and when selected this option will paste the highlighted verses the the clipboard file in their entirety. If no text is highlighted then the program will copy the entire chapter of that book to the clipboard file. The final menu item will open the clipboard file allowing the user to change, manipulate, or print the file. These powerful features allow the user handle large amounts of data without having to jump back and forth from the Bible program to a wordprocessor and having to copy and paste each time. Back to Additional Technical Support Questions #4 Using the Clipboard Windows has a clipboard program that allows you to copy and paste any text from our program to any other Windows program. The following commands are common to most Windows programs: 1.) Highlight the text to be copied. 2.) While holding down the "CTRL" key press and release the "C" key. (CTRL+C) This will send the selected text to the clipboard program allowing you to paste it into any Windows program that allows text. In Windows95 you only need to highlight the text and then (with your mouse over the selected text) press your right mouse button and select copy. The Bible Library for Windows program has a built-in clipboard option...this option allows you to select a file that the program will use to paste the text to. This option eliminates the need to switch back and foreth between the two programs "copying and pasteing". To use the "paste to clipboard" funtion. 1.) Highlight the text to be copied. 2.) Under the "Clipboard" menu item on the "Bibles with References" window select the "Paste to clipboard" option. You may also use the "CTRL + P" keys to preform the same task. 3.) At this point you may either execute steps 1 and 2 again using different text or you may use the "Open clipboard file" option (also found under the Clipboard menu item) to open and manipulate or print the text. Make sure to close the file when you are through printing etc. To use the "paste verses to clipboard" funtion. The main difference between the "paste to clipboard" and the "paste verses to clipboard" fuctions are that "paste to clipboard" only pastes the selected text, and "paste verses to clipboard" pastes the whole verse(s) even if only part of the verse is selected. 1.) Highlight the text to be copied. 2.) Under the "Clipboard" menu item on the "Bibles with References" window select the "Paste verses to clipboard" option. You may also use the "F4" funtion key to preform the same task. 3.) At this point you may either execute steps 1 and 2 again using different text or you may use the "Open clipboard file" option (also found under the Clipboard menu item) to open and manipulate or print the text. Make sure to close the file when you are through printing etc. Note: Under the "Clipboard" menu item on the "Bibles with References" window on the top line will be the name and location of the file that will have the text added to it. You may make a note in the section and then include it in your selected area to be pasted (this note will cease to excist if you change books, Bibles, or if you close the program). Back to Additional Technical Support Questions #5 Printing the Maps The maps in The Bible Library for Windows program are bitmaps which means that you can open them with your MS-PaintBrush program that ships with Windows. In the Bible Library for Windows 2.1 this is done by pressing "F-10" while the image is on-screen (this opens MS-PaintBrush program with the image). With version 2.0 you must manually open the image, first you would need to open the MS-PaintBrush program and then open the map image. The map images are located on the CD-ROM under a directory named "Maps". Unfortunately the images are not labeled by description rather by a numbering sequence so you may have to open several maps before finding the correct map. After opening the image you may then print the image or make any changes and then print the image. Back to Additional Technical Support Questions #6 Copying Bibles to the Hard Drive This option provides a method of copying Bibles from the main database file to a file named "Bible1.dat" on the hard disk. If this file is already available on the CD-ROM, the option will not be available. This program can copy any combination of the first nine Bibles onto disk. Other translations may be added at a later date. However, in order to delete a translation once it has been copied, the whole file must first be deleted. Also, aborting a copy in progress will delete the entire "Bible1.dat" file which can be anywhere from 2 to 32 Megabytes. Note: Bible searches may be as much as 10 times faster for the translations that are copied to the "Bible1.dat" file. Back to Additional Technical Support Questions #7 Window Resizing Bible Library for Windows ver 2.0 does not allow for resizing, therefore if the Windows "taskbar" (where the start button is located) properties are not set to "Auto Hide" it will cover up approximately 5% of the total viewing area. This causes the lower or upper sections to be obscured and the user does not see how to locate the Old Testament books. To remedy this you will simply need to click the "start button" then click on "settings" then click on "taskbar" and check the option labeled "auto hide" then click on "ok". This will automatically hide the taskbar when not in use and will reappear when your cursor is close to the bottom or top of the screen (depending on where the taskbar is). You may also download the free update availible on our download page and this will allow the program to adapt to the screen size no matter what that size is.
