The Word Study Tab has two major areas, the Word Study Entry area and the Word Study Results pane.
This area includes:
- Search text pop-up menu: lets you choose the text to search
- Magnifying glass icon: lets you view the search history
- Search entry box: lets you enter the word to study
- Recycle icon
When a key-numbered text is selected in the search text pop-up menu, and a search is done for a word rather than a specific Key number, the Keys token appears within the search entry box. You can choose to display All Keys, Greek keys only, or Hebrew keys only.
To perform a Word Study, simply type a word and press Return or Enter. The results of your search will be displayed in the Word Study Results pane.
The Word Study tab will not accept search commands or most symbols, with the following exceptions:
- In grammatically-tagged original language texts, inflected forms may be enclosed in quotation marks and roots may be preceded by a plus sign.
- In key-numbered Bibles, the KEY number may be enclosed in square brackets with the KEY command: [KEY G26]
This uses the text currently open. Categories shown depend on the text being used or from which one opens the Word Study. The Word Study Results pane displays the following information about the words you search. Some options can be customized from the Set Word Study Options.
