Customize Text Display

Each text has its own default display settings, and the display of the text in each pane can be customized. The current settings for the display of the text also apply when the text is printed.

Some Bible texts are formatted with styles such as italics, small caps, red letters, and short indented lines for poetry. These styles can be turned off.

The "hit" words (the search results) are shown in a highlight style and color of your choice.

To customize the text display (one text version only):

Note These changes apply to the specific text version displayed in a pane, for example, the KJV or ASV.

1. Open the Set Text Display dialog box by doing one of the following:
   




2. From the pane Action pop-up menu () choose Set Text Pane Display.
3. Click in a pane and choose Display>Set Text Pane Display.
4. Click in a pane and press Ctrl+T.
   
2. Choose the desired Basic or Advanced display options in the Set Text Display dialog box.
3. Basic items: These items determine the overall look and feel.
4. Advanced items: These items determine how the actual content is displayed.

3. Do one of the following:
4. Click OK to apply the changes to the selected pane.
5. Click Use as Default to apply the changes to future panes with the same text. A message appears asking you to confirm saving these settings as your default. Click Save to confirm applying your changes to all subsequent display of this specific text (for example, the KJV).

Note If you do not save your changes as the default for the selected text, they will only apply as long as that text remains displayed in the current text pane. If you close that text and then display it again later, it will be displayed according to its default settings.
