theWord for the iPad!

Feb 03 2013 04:00 PM | Josh Bond in News

There is a new app in the app store that reads theWord modules. NO conversion needed--the software reads normal theWord modules:

Author's website: http://www.holybibleanswer.com/

iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ibible-study-hd/id597291980?ls=1&mt=8#

What do I like about this app?
  • It reads theWord's native modules. No format shifting or other nonsense which makes my job a LOT easier.

  • Another great thing: it supports two windows simultaneously.

  • Read the Bible with each verse on a new line (e-Sword style) or by paragraph! Very nice! There's a time and a place for each but I love the paragraph style.

  • Show verse numbers in Bible paragraph or line by line mode--or not at all.

  • Cross References from the Bible view.

  • It's Free!

I would consider this a "beta" version:
  • I've noticed the app will not read compressed modules.

  • There is no theWord Book reader--just Dictionaries, Commentaries, and Bibles.

  • The default Bible is KJV with Strongs. Another default should be just the KJV. Why? Tooltip popups show the KJV with Strong text and there's no way to show just the KJV text in a tooltip unless you have the KJV installed (without Strongs). Small issue, easily fixed by downloading the KJV without strongs.

  • No way to change the font rendering--it uses a Times New Roman style font. I would personally prefer a less ornate font, like Tahoma or similar.

  • The Bible search works great, but no way to search other module formats.

  • I like clean designs on the iPad. I'm not a fan of colored toolbars. That can't be changed. Also, when you install it, you have to "de-clutter" the look of the app slightly. Click the settings icon and remove the KJV Strongs designations and the new verse [Aa] designations (the latter really gets in the way).

theWord 4.0 is Released!

Nov 03 2012 11:14 PM | Peter Pellerin in News

theWord 4.0 is now available at theword.net
http://www.theword.n...?home&l=english

Some of the files with images at this site have not worked correctly. They should now work with theWord 4.0.

Blessings,
Peter

Version 4.0.0.1340 - Nov 3, 2012

theWord 4 is a major new release that contains more than 70 new features and more than 110 fixes.
Most prominent new features are:
- Bible Reading Plans: enjoy from a set of predefined and extensible list of Bible Reading plans, or create your own Bible Reading plan according to your own needs. theWord offers the most versatile setup options that allow you to tailor your plan to your personal style and pace like no other application.
- Organization of your Daily Readings: a single place to organize and follow your daily readings! Follow one or more reading plans, meditate on one or more devotionals each day, and keep track of all your readings in a single place. theWord will remind you every day (or whenever you want) of your plan and help you catch-up with your planned readings. It has never been easier to monitor your reading progress.
- Integrated module installer: No need to run module installers anymore! You can now simply drag-n-
drop modules in the integrated installer to easily add new modules to your installation and enjoy from more available content. theWord will now associate all known module extensions thus allowing you to install modules just by double-clicking on them.
- Use theWord as your personal ministry tool: the new version of theWord allows to customize it and package it for your own personal needs! Create packages to share with a class, make your own distribution and provide your own unique content and welcome screen to your target audience.
- Make your work easier with the new version of theWord: enjoy many more additions and features to make your experience better:
- Defining module sets is now easier with advanced sorting and filtering capabilities
- New 'Find & Replace' dialogs in Book viewer along with several new editing functions (paragraphs, bullets, lists, etc.)
- Several dialog enhancements and better support for large dpi screens

- [new]: holding down the right-mouse button will keep the popup visible (as if SHIFT is pressed)

- Double clicking on a module or .twzip file now:
- either pops up the new 'Install Modules' dialog to install it (if not installed)
- if the module is already in use, theWord displays it (like MS Word does with .doc files). If theWord is running, the running instance is used (e.g. no new instance is created).
In UFD mode, all the above happen only while theWord is running: when theWord exits, file associations are deleted so no trace is left behind (so, file associations work in UFD mode while theWord is running)

- [fix]: Bible links in book view did not take into account the Bible defined in the link (e.g. for "tw://bible.kjv?1.1.1" the "kjv" was ignored) and always caused the Bible view to display the current Bible (popups worked correctly). Also, the module id can also be used for these links now (e.g. tw://bible.b12...)

- [fix]: Fixed issue with starting tw maximized
- [fix]: Last 3 flags in Bible view flags list had incorrect hints
- [fix]: in Bible modules with Strong's numbers, in words with multiple Strong's numbers assigned, when Strong's numbers where hidden, when one right-clicked on a word and chose from the popup menu to search a Strong's number, then the last Strong's number was always being searched no matter which menu entry was selected.
- [fix]: First-indent tag () not properly applied in some cases in paragraph mode (when 2nd verse continues and the PFx tag applies to first one)
- [fix]: Bible view: if xrefs link colors was the same as footnotes colors and footnotes were not displayed as links (e.g. inline), then xrefs links didn't work.
- [fix]: Bible search view: Define ranges dialog needs 2 clicks to show some times.

- [fix]: Bible search view: Define ranges dialog: added CTRL+A shortcut to select all text.

- [fix]: Bible Search View: trying to search for an invalid regex caused the Bible Search view to not restore it's state (e.g. hide progress bar, etc)

- [fix]: improvement in verse detection algorithm (see http://forum.theword....php?f=8&t=4037)
- [fix]: Hyperlinks dialog: Target verse/topic: when the drop-down appears, if there is a topic from a module, the popup auto-select this topic

Welcome to WordModules.com

Feb 27 2012 06:50 PM | Josh Bond in News

This community will support theWord, similar to my work with other, free Bible software. The two websites will remain completely separate. This is a brand new site, so bear with us. We're just getting warmed up!

Since we're already in the "free publishing business", so to speak, why not also publish modules for theWord, taking advantage of theWord's unique data, features, and functionality? Since theWord already has official forums, I expect our forums will mostly be used to ask about modules we host or module requests.

For those familiar with my other website, understand this venture is different. theWord targets mostly Evangelical Christians. This, too, is my target audience and our theological focus will reflect this reality.

Features of WordModules.com:
  • We allow third parties (like you) to share theWord modules with others. You can also see who downloaded your upload.

  • We do not and will not rely on free web hosting. Free hosting websites have lost their primary source of revenue and their business model's future is uncertain. Our goal is to build a long term, secure module library for theWord.

  • We will focus on publishable quality modules--not quantity.

    User uploaded, and bulk uploaded modules may not conform to the publishable quality standard.

    However, modules we publish will be "publishable quality"--for example, our modules will not be a copy/paste of archive.org with OCR errors, page headers, and unreadable Greek/Hebrew text. Verses will be properly recognized by theWord. Books and Commentaries will properly use theWord's hierarchical data structure. Our modules will properly rely on theWord's default font's. In other words, we will strive to meet theWord's publishing standards for your enjoyment.

  • This website has the blessing of theWord's author and will save him much needed time. Previously, we gave theWord the source material for modules like Biblical Illustrator and Jonathan Trapp's commentary. The downside to this was theWord's author had to take time to properly format the modules for theWord. Our goal is to host those types of theWord modules here!
