Gary Pauley Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Is there anyway to link tabs so that the text I am viewing in tab 1 pulls up the corresponding reference (commentary) in tab 2? This is probably a basic link command...but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lang Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 The easiest thing would be to "Tie" the two tabs together so that they scroll in sync with each other. From either tab, go to the Window menu, the Set... submenu, and then choose Tie to "Name of other Tab." That should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tied a biblical text in tab 1 and a commentary in tab 2....but nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Well, as you scroll in the Bible text the commentary should show you the commentary on the top verse in the text window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Pauley Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 Ok, I got them to scroll together, cool. But what I would really like (maybe not possible), is to do my search in tab #1 (say, Mark 14:60), and have that search automatically reflected in tabs 2 and 3 (say, commentary and CNTTS). They would be tied not just to scroll together, but in the search criteria...is that doable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 The LINK command will link the search argument, but only between texts of the same language, or tools with fields of the same language. So it would be hard to link the CNTTS and Commentary except to search for a Greek word or an MS, and you cannot link them to the Search window. Now the MERGE command will link reference tools to the search window, but it's very specialized. It would search the reference tool for the hit words in the search window in the commentary on the hit verses from the search window. There are more details in the Help: Advanced Searches, and Dr. J has a very helpful series of Podcasts on the commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
