Hi Jon, I am on 1526, so should be OK:) Question: has any work been done on the first tab of the Module Properties window? We do a fair amount of module making (in a strange foreign language) but there is some English to be filled in on this window. Especially the Check Author, Category and Keywords...

To LT, I think it is very well possible to use the new M1 Macs and run TW on it, but you always have to use some special method! Often an emulator is used. I have done that for many years. Works fine, but not free, since you need the emulator software as well as a Windows license. This year I switch...

Hi Mars, It is best to use TW via a Windows emulator (Parallels/VMWare Fusion) or go for Crossover. These are not free though. I have used TW on my Mac since 2010, first Wineskin, now VMWare, but have not upgraded to BigSur yet as there seemed to be some problems with VMWare. I have heard people hav...

Hi, my computer told me 'Windows needed to restart because of an error'. After that when I opened TheWORD it behaved as if it were a new installation from scratch. No module sets, and no saved comparison view options, it did save 3 only of my verse lists and my layout preferences though. My module s...

To Costas/Jon,

Great job in making 5! Any idea when the Manual/Help will be updated?
Excited about the new version, but hoping we can work on translating the new Help files. We have barely finished the localization for TheWORD 4 in Chinese

Blessings to you all!

Hi Frank, Once you have downloaded your modules, take them out of the Downloads folder and put them in a separate folder on your Mac. E.g put all of them on your desktop and name the folder " My TheWORD modules ". Then you open two Finder windows side-by-side : one is the desktop window wi...

Hi Frank, Let me clear up the confusion: When you installed Wineskin Winery and then installed the official TheWORD package from Costas' website you only installed the engine , and a few standard modules that come with that package. The Wineskin Winery method is totally different from an earlier Mac...

Hi Frank, I did edit my previous posts a little bit, hope it is clearer now, but admittedly not super simple. It is best to install the official installer package from Costas' website, (the regular Windows one, not the Mac version!). That way you already have the basic structure of the program and i...

Hi, Glad it works so far! You cannot install by double-clicking exe files, you realized that! However, just like on a regular Windows computer, all the files are located inside this TheWord folder. Inside your BIBLES folder you simply dump all your Bibles, and then you create a new folder BOOKS insi...

Hi Frank and other early Yosemite adopters, It seems that it is difficult to get it to work after upgrading. At least I could not find a very simple way. Then I tried a different WINE package that WillysJeepMan had referred to earlier. It worked!! It will take about 45 minutes. I think it is best to...

Hi, I am working on it. Hopefully something before the end of the week.

Hi Costas, No problem! I was just thinking out loud, and the more I use it, especially for and with others, the more I thought of this idea. But again, no problem! I am thrilled you always reply so fast! Blessings. Hi Jon, Thanks very much for this tip/trick. I had never noticed this option yet, my ...

Hi Costas, 1. I searched for posts on the verse list functionality and noticed that you had mentioned a 'multiple set functionality' so that when sharing with others their own standard or default list would not be overwritten. Is that something that you are still thinking of? 2. Would it be possible...

To Jon, This worked! Many, many thanks. I downloaded it, and installed it. All the references seem to work beautifully now! Later I may ask about about the 'second alias'. I opened it with TextWrangler, just to see what was inside (I am no programmer) and noticed it. Would that allow us to add other...

To Geoffjiang: updated language file. I have tried to download it several times (maybe all 5 times are mine) but there seems to be an error in the file. The following window comes up every time: Screen Shot 2012-12-15 at 4.23.27 PM.png Would you mind checking this? Thanks for your help in this. I re...
