Function 11: Resource Notes

Although in the realm of tools this one is minor, to me it is major, I do a lot of work and I take notes on most of it, those notes I insert into my BibleWorks resource notes. It is easy to you and easy to understand how it works.
When you first go over to the Analysis Window, one of the tabs is specifically set up for notes. This is easy to get to and gets you to your notes very fast.
Once there you will notice two boxes you can check or uncheck on the top of the tab. One just says autoload and this is if you want your notes to load automatically, or if you would prefer to have to load your notes, or very certain notes only when you want to use them. If you choose to not autoload your notes it may help with the load up speed of the overall program. The other box is if you want chapter notes. If you check this then your notes will be on the chapter level. If you uncheck this box your notes will be taken on a verse by verse basis.
Another option with the notes page is to tell BibleWorks where to find them. If you do not tell it where to find them then it will simply store and load all your notes from the NOTES in your program files. To change this you click on the button that has four yellow squares connected by lines with three on one side and one on the right side, all connected. This will give you the option to choose a folder or create a new folder for your notes.
The last thing that you really need to know is about how to search your notes. You can do this by clicking on the Binoculars icon to search your immediate notes, to search in all your notes in the folder or directory, you can do this by clicking on the binoculars above the folder icon.
you can see even by this very simple look at the notes that they can be very helpful. I actually use them quite a bit, I have Bibleworks get my notes out of the dropbox which syncs up all my computers so that I can get to my notes on all my computers which have my Bibleworks installed on them.
