Split Screen Mode

Top  Previous  Next

With Split Screens, you can display up to three windows at the same time. Each window can be configured and moved independently. Or, you can link windows together to synchronize the scrolling.

For example, you could display two different translations of the Bible on the same screen for comparison. Or have one window with the text and two windows of reference or commentary.

SplitScreen1_Palm

SplitScreen2_Palm

 

Note: If you are using a Bible with Notes or References (such as the New American Standard Version with Strong's Numbers, or the NIV with Publisher Notes), the default setting is that the screen below the Bible version will be used for references.

SplitScreen3_Palm

 

To activate Split Screen Mode:

1.Install multiple translations of the Bible and study aids on your Palm device. For more information, see our online store or installation instructions.
2.Go to Tree > Options > Preferences > Split Screen and set what you want your Max number of windows to be. Then install multiple translations of the Bible and study aids on your Palm device.
3.To open another window, or close existing windows, write /w in the letter area with your stylus, or tap Options > Split Screen.

Note: every time you write w or tap the Split Screen menu item, BibleReader will switch the number of displayed windows. You can have up to three different translations on-screen at the same time.

 

To load texts into a window:

1.Write /w in the letter area with your stylus, or tap Options > Split Screen.
2.Tap a window to make it the active window.
3.Tap the abbreviation for the open text in the toolbar and change to the Bible you now want to view in that window.

 

To switch window modes:

1.Tap Tree > Options > Preferences.
2.Select Split Screen from the pull-down menu.
3.Choose either Classic or Multiple windows.
Classic mode displays two windows--ideally one is the text and another is reference.
Multiple mode displays two or three windows, which can be Bible files, references, or eBooks.
4.Tap OK to return to the text.
5.To open additional windows, or to close existing windows, write /w in the letter area with your stylus, or tap Options > Split Screen.

Note: every time you write w or tap the Split Screen menu item, BibleReader will switch the number of displayed windows. You can have up to three different translations on-screen at the same time.

 

To specify which window a link will open in:

1.Go to Tree> Options > Preferences. Select Split Screen Adv from the drop down list.
2.Specify which window you want links from Window 1, 2, 3 to open in.

For example, you may have three open windows. The top two have Bibles and you want the third window to display the reference for Window 1 and Window 2. On this Split Screen Adv screen, you would set Window 1 to open in Window 3, and Window 2 to open in Window 3.
