I GETTING STARTED
This software requires Microsoft[i]
Internet Explorer version 4.01 or above.
Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.5 is recommended. Even though an Internet connection is not
required, AV 2004 uses Internet Explorer to display the bible text as HTML.
Windows XP users should select "Use
HTML Files" from the <Options> tab after the installation. The default installation should be fine for
all other versions of Windows.
II INSTALL AV 2004
Execute the
"AV 2004" Installation Program.
This is accomplished by inserting the floppy diskette #1 into your
computer and navigating to “Drive A:” in the Windows Explorer. Then double-click on the installation
program to initiate the “Setup” program.
The
name of the AV 2004 installation program is Setup, or Setup.exe as shown
below:
NOTE for AV-2004 CDROM
Edition:
Installation from CDROM is identical to the
diskette installation, except you must first navigate to your CDROM drive,
instead of the “A:” drive.
NOTE for AV-2004 Internet
Edition:
If you have downloaded the Internet version,
AV-2004.exe may be the name of the “Setup” program.
III RUN AV 2004
Run the AV Bible Program.
This is accomplished by clicking the Start Menu, and selecting “The Holy
Bible” as depicted below:
NOTE: There may be a
delay in the initial execution if you choose to <USE HTML FILES> under
the options menu as this publishes the entire King James Version (KJV) Bible[ii]
into HTML format. This option consumes about 32 additional megabytes of hard-disk
space (the <LOCAL WEB SERVER> option does not require this additional
harddisk space; Windows XP is not currently compatible with the <LOCAL WEB
SERVER> option).
IV USING AV 2004
Browse the AV Bible using the Yellow arrows, clicking on a book,
or using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
To publish a book or chapter, right-click on the desired book/chapter as
shown below:
To search the bible, click on the magnifying glass.
V SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES
After a search is initiated, the following
screen will appear:
In this case, we have
specified that we would like to find all verses that contain divine or Godhead. Clicking on the word “divine” above reveals its associated
Strongs numbers. In fact, you can even
search on Strongs numbers using the above screen (e.g. You could search on
H5172). Again, all words placed into
the list above are treated as an “or”
condition. If you wanted to find all
verses that contained (divine or
godhead) and (unto), you would click
on the 2 tab above and add the word
“unto” as a secondary search condition.
Once you are satisfied with the search criteria, you click “Next
>>” to preview which verses were found.
Clicking “Finish” on the final screen will return you to the original
window with a list of found verses.
VI USING THE AV BIBLE with MICROSOFT WORD
AV 2004 can publish (and print) the Bible as
a series of production quality Microsoft-Word (RTF) or WordPerfect[iii]
documents. It should be noted that
these RTF and WordPerfect documents can be produced even if you do not have a
copy of Microsoft-Word or WordPerfect, but to view the documents you will need
the associated program or viewer.
Alternatively,
to simplify preparing bible studies, AV 2004 can be used from within Microsoft
Word. This is known as “integration
into Microsoft Word”. It is called
integration, as AV 2004 becomes an integral part of Microsoft Word. Once integration is complete, AV 2004 adds a
Bible menu to Microsoft’s standard Menu-Bar.
This menu item permits searches of the AV text without ever leaving
Microsoft Word. The found verses are
subsequently inserted into the current document. Additionally, integration adds the capability of inserting AV
Bible text by specifying a chapter-and-verse.
Click on the “Advanced Integration” button from the Options tab to
initiate the process of Microsoft Word integration. See the Help tab for additional details on how to achieve this
integration.
