New Features
************************************************************
This section provides information on QuickVerse features
that were added or changed after the first edition of the
User's Guide was printed. Newer editions of the User's
Guide may include this information.
Previous Searches Menu Item
---------------------------
You may use the Previous Searches menu item (found in the
Search menu) to select and restore a prior search. Please
refer to the QuickVerse on-line help for additional
information about this feature.

************************************************************
Installing QuickVerse Add-On Products
************************************************************
QuickVerse for Window and QuickVerse for DOS share many of
same add-on products, including add-on Bible translations,
Nave's Topical Bible, Strong's Concordance, and the study
Bible notes such as the Scofield Study Bible.
Since many of these add-on modules may be used with either
the Windows or DOS versions of QuickVerse, a DOS-based
installation program is usually provided.
Each of these add-on products include applicable
installation instructions. Please refer to these
instructions for further information on performing the
installation.

************************************************************
Installation Error 105
************************************************************
Some virus detection and interception programs, such as
Central Point's VSafe program, may cause erroneous reports
"File Error 105." If you receive this error while
installing QuickVerse for Windows, remove VSafe, or
any other virus detection program, and attempt the
installation again.

************************************************************
Font Requirements
************************************************************
QuickVerse for Windows version 3 will use the Times New
Roman True Type font as the default font. You may, of
course, change the fonts using the Fonts menu.
The verse list windows (Search List, Index List, and Note
List) work best when used with a 12 point or smaller font.
If you use a larger font, the abbreviated search word may
not be displayed in the verse fragment.
Some QuickVerse dialog boxes require a smaller-than-normal
font. For instance, the Options:Translations dialog box
uses the Arial 8 point font.

************************************************************
Font Compatibility
************************************************************
QuickVerse for Windows is compatible with most Windows
fonts and font packages.
Many apparent font errors, such as garbled text being
displayed or no text being displayed, may actually be
caused by incompatibilities with video drivers or 3rd
party font programs.
If you experience problems with certain fonts or font styles
when using QuickVerse for Windows, use the Windows Setup
program to change your video driver and/or video resolution.
(Remember to make a note of which driver and resolution you
were originally using so you can easily restore it!) You
may find that this will cause the problem to "go away."
You may have trouble if you use fonts supplied with
Publisher's PowerPak, by Atech Software. We do not
recommend that you use these fonts when using
QuickVerse for Windows.

************************************************************
Compatibility with Sound Products
************************************************************
We have been made aware that the Wired for Sound program
contains a bug that causes it to crash the computer,
generally resulting in a reset being required, when both of
the following conditions occur:
- an action occurs that generates a sound in Wired for
Sound, and
- when the current application does not have any free
file resources available.
Since QuickVerse for Windows uses more file resources than
most applications, it is much more likely that you will
encounter this bug in Wired for Sound when using QuickVerse
than when using many other Windows applications. The only
solution to this problem is to disable or close Wired for
Sound while using programs such as QuickVerse that routinely
access several data files.
Other Windows "sound" products may generate the same errors
as Wired for Sound, discussed above.
Additionally, such programs have been known to halt the
computer when QuickVerse for Windows displays a QuickVerse
Message window. The symptom of this problem is that
QuickVerse appears not to display any buttons in the message
window. However, the actual cause of the problem is the sound
program. Removing the sound program eliminates this problem.

************************************************************
List of Word Processors that can not be Customized
************************************************************
The following word processing programs are known to not be
customizable using the Customize Word Processor feature.
WordPerfect for Windows (when used with Windows version
3.0 only... it may be customized when used with
version 3.1)
PFS:Publisher
PFS:WindowsWorks
Additionally, some versions of Microsoft Word are not
customizable until the edit menu has been selected.
By the way, Dynamic Data Exchange is the preferred
method of exchanging data between the applications. In
other words, if the program will support DDE, you should
generally attempt to connect via DDE instead of via the
word processor customization feature.

************************************************************
Answers to a Few Common Questions
************************************************************
Q: Should I be in the habit of making backup files?
A: Absolutely! If your index and note files contain data
that is valuable to you, make regular backups of these
files to help reduce the possibility of data loss.
Q: What is the purpose of an unsorted index?
A: One of the purposes of an unsorted index is to rearrange
the order of the verses from biblical order to your
order. As an example, suppose that you are creating a
lesson on tithing. You may want to start with verses
from the New Testament and then get a few from the Old
Testament. You could list them in the index in the order
you wanted to refer to them. Then when the index is
printed, the verses will be listed in your order, not in
biblical order. You could even repeat verses by
inserting the same verse into the index multiple times.
By the way, by combining this feature with the notes
feature, your whole lesson could be prepared from within
QuickVerse.
Q: After I perform a search, the search words are not
displayed in boldface even though I have that option
turned on in the Display Options dialog box. Why not?
A: In some fonts such as the system font, the difference
between "bold" and "normal" is difficult to discern. If
there is not enough contrast between bold and normal, try
selecting a different font.
Q: How often do I need to press the "update" button in the
Word Processor Customization dialog box?
A: The update button in the Word Processor Customization
dialog box can be used at any time that you want to
provide a link between QuickVerse and the other
applicaton.
If the other application is running before QuickVerse is
started, the QuickVerse may be able to establish the link
when it is started. If not, just press the update
button.
If you close the application and start it again while
QuickVerse is still running, you will need to press the
update button to create the link.
Q: Are the clipboard setup options used when "copy" is
selected from the Edit menu?
A: No. The "cut" and "copy" menu commands in the edit menu
cut or copy the highlighted text as displayed. The only
clipboard formats that are used in these cases are the
settings for whether to use boldface for search words,
italic for supplied words, and red to signify Words of
Christ.
If you want to use these options when copying verses
to the clipbaord, choose the Copy Formatted item from
the Edit menu.
Q: How big is the Windows clipboard? Can I make it any
bigger?
A: The Windows clipboard can contain about 65,000 characters.
 It is not possible to make it any bigger. Also, when
pasting in rich text format (where either bold, italics,
or red words are used) can cause the clipboard to fill up
faster.

Word Processor Macros Supplied with QuickVerse
************************************************************
Three interested QuickVerse users have prepared macros
for Word for Windows and AmiPro. These macros provide links
between the word processor and many of our Bible study
related products. If you use one of these word processors,
then you might find one of these macros useful.
The macros are installed in a directory called MACROS in
your QuickVerse directory. The files are
PARSONS.DOT a Word for Windows template
file... open this file for more
information and instructions
PARSONS.SMM an AmiPro macro file
PARSONS.SAM an AmiPro document... open this
file for more information and
instructions
Our developers and technical support staff are not able to
be expert in the many available word processors. Please
contact the authors of these macros to offer your thanks
for their efforts or to report any problems.
For technical information regarding Dynamic Data Exchange,
refer to the file DDE.TXT contained in your QuickVerse
directory.
