Importing RTF Notes (Including BibleWorks)
Notes created in an RTF format (including BibleWorks) can be imported into Accordance. The import procedure creates a fully-functional native Accordance notes file.
Accordance can import the contents of a notes folder given the following conditions:
- Notes files must have either an .rtf or .bww extension.
- There can be only one verse note per file.
- Files can be named using the reference, using either an underscore (_) or a period as the verse divider. For example: “1Kings 5_2” or “Ps 1.1”
- Files can be placed in a folder with a valid book name. For example, “Genesis” or “Gen”. If so, the file name should only include the reference. For example, if the folder was named "Genesis", the file name would be “2.3” (without the quotes).

Note Importing RTF notes (including BibleWorks notes) is completely non-destructive. No files are written or over-written in the notes folder. |
