Targeting a Scrapboard Window

After you sand a scripture in a Bible Sander window, you can save it to the targeted Scrapboard window. Within the Bible Sander program you can have multiple Scrapboard windows open, so you need to tell Bible Sander which window you want to receive sanded scriptures. To “target” a Scrapboard window make the Scrapboard window the active window and then select the “Make Target” menu item. The title bar will then display “(Target)” to indicate that this Scrapboard window is the target. Only one Scrapboard window may be a target at any time. If you want to change the target to another Scrapboard window, simply repeat this process with the other window.

You may also drag and drop a sanded scripture and citation from the main Bible Sander window by using the drag and drop icon. With this method you can drag and drop to any open Scrapboard window.

Citation Style

You may choose the citation style for the scriptures. The first style choice is where you want the citation to be displayed which includes the following choices from the Location popup menu.

  • After - Display the citation after the scripture.
  • Before - Display the citation after the scripture.
  • None - Don’t display a citation.
The second style choice is the form of the citation and those choices include the following from the Style popup menu.
  • (xxx) - Surround the citation with parenthesizes.
  • xxx: - When the citation is before the scripture, place a colon after the citation. When the citation is after the scripture, place a colon and a space before the citation.
  • None - Use the citation as is.
