1. If you have not done so, open the Mac preferences and enable Accordance in the Accessibility Security preferences.
2. Open Accordance Bible Software.
3. Press Opt++A. The Get Verses dialog box appears.
   

   

4. Proceed as follows in the Get Verses dialog box:
1. From the Text pop-up menu, choose the Text version you want to copy verses from. You can choose any installed corpus Collection of writings/language.
   You can also press +1 through 9 to scroll through and select your top 9 Texts, or press ++ or - to scroll through all your Texts.
2. In the Reference box, enter the verse reference using standard Accordance abbreviations.
3. If desired, select one of the following:
• Use Citation Format: When selected, the Citation format as entered in the Citation area of the Preferences dialog box is used. If not selected, the verses are copied with one verse on each new line.
• Match formatting during insert: When selected, the verses are pasted into your document based on its formatting. When not selected, the formatting of the verses in the Text is used.
4. Do one of the following:
   • Click Copy to Clipboard to copy the verses to the clipboard and manually paste them into another application.
   • Click Insert in XXX, where XXX is an open program detected by Accordance, to have the verses copied to the clipboard and pasted directly into the open document for the detected program.
     In both cases the verses are copied to the computer clipboard and can be copied manually or automatically to another program.

1. Open the Preferences dialog box and go to the Export area.
2. In the Get Verses area of the Preferences dialog box, select Use selected verse reference from word processor..
3. With Accordance Bible Software open in the background, go to the other word processing program on your computer.
4. Type a verse reference (for example, Gen 1:1) and select it.
5. Press Opt++A. The Get Verses dialog box appears.
6. In the Get Verses dialog box click Insert in XXX (where xxx is the name of the word processing program).

In some cases, you may want to disable the Get Verses feature. This might be necessary, for example, if the shortcut keys conflict with another function in your application. To do so:

1. Open the Preferences dialog box and go to the Export area.
2. In the Get Verses area of the Preferences dialog box, select Disable Get Verses. The Opt++A shortcut key combination no longer inserts a verse from Accordance.

If you try to open the Get Verses dialog box and have not set your accessibility permissions on the Mac correctly, you will get the message box shown below. To give Accordance access to other applications, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Mac Preferences and navigate to the Security & Privacy preferences.
   
   

   Note For earlier Windows system, this item was ‘Enable access for assistive devices’ at the bottom of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences; it must be checked for Auto Search to work correctly.

2. Click on Accessibility in the left pane.
   
   

   

3. Select Accordance.app.
   You may need to enter your administrator password to change this setting.
   Once Accordance is selected, you can paste verses from Accordance directly into any open and detected word processing software.
