 An Easy to Use Interface
 PC Study Bible Version 4's newly redesigned interface makes it easier than ever for
you to study the Bible by providing simple, intuitive, consistent access to all aspects of your PC Study Bible library. We've changed how it looks and works -- making it
significantly easier to use, while also providing greater flexibility and power for your personal Bible study.
Plenty of room on this newly designed desktop
The new navigation panel
(see below) is the heart of the Version 4 interface. This panel is the gateway through which all access to your PC Study Bible library takes place. In it, you
will find collections of reference works (like all of your Bibles, commentaries and dictionaries), your search tools, your SmartReference™ links --
 this is the primary tool you will use to
navigate the vast depths of the materials contained in your PC Study Bible library.
This new design gives you back valuable workspace! You decide the layout of your desktop, whether you prefer your
windows full-sized or "minimized" -- you can even set them to automatically move out of the way. Switch to any available reference work with a single click -- reducing the
number of clicks it takes you to find what you're looking for. And a persistent outline of all available cross references and SmartReferences™ is always there so you can
check out one related reference work after another without retracing your steps or losing your place.
Stay organized, no matter how many references you consult
When you begin your Bible study in Version 4, you'll be amazed at how effortless it is to keep track of where
 you are. That's because each window has a "tab" at the top, much like a file
folder so you can easily see what's open, switch between windows, and close one when you finish with it.
Not only that, imagine yourself absorbed in a study and becoming distracted with a specific
tidbit of information. Every tab has "launch new" button which allows you to use it as the starting point for another branch of your Bible study! Should you wish to retrace your steps, we added "Back"
and "Forward" buttons, much like your favorite Internet browser, so that you can return to where you were with a single click of your mouse.

Stop searching...and start studying!
PC Study Bible...the way YOU study!
Other Bible study programs require to determine what to search for and where to search. Then
they return information that you must sift through to find what is relevant. In short, other programs require you to do most of the work.
PC Study Bible is different it automatically finds all related information for the verse or topic
you're studying! Every time you open a Bible or a reference work, PC Study Bible instantly finds and displays other information from your library about the verse or topic. And because it
shows you only the reference works that have relevant information about what you're studying, you never waste time in fruitless searching you just start studying!
Start where you want. Go where you want.
PC Study Bible lets you choose where you start your study. Unlike other programs, that force
you into starting from a specific place or studying in a specific way, PC Study Bible recognizes that you have your own way of studying the Bible. So where will you start? By
viewing cross-references, comparing Bible translations, or going directly to Strong's Greek and Hebrew Dictionaries and beginning a word study? Or will you choose to view commentary,
maps, and even articles on a multitude of topics? The choice is yours.
And once you've begun your study, BIBLESOFT's powerful linking system enables you to
quickly and easily view one reference work after the other with yet more information on the subject that you are studying. That's why we say: PC Study Bible the way YOU study.

Focus or explore...the choice is yours
One of the most significant new features in PC Study Bible
Version 4 is the introduction of the Focus and Explore modes. These allow you to instantly change the behavior of how the software works, depending on how you prefer to study. Now you can
decide what happens when you follow a link from where you are currently to some related content.
If Explore mode is like changing from one channel to another on your TV set, then Focus
mode is like having picture-in-picture technology, where you keep your favorite channel in view while viewing other channels at the same time! For example, in Explore mode, if you begin
with your Bible open to John 15:5, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit
" and decide to look at a commentary on this verse, when you
open the commentary, it appears as a new, full-size tabbed window, with your Bible in a full-size tabbed window behind it. Each additional reference work you open in this mode
becomes a new, full size tabbed window, layered one upon the other. Explore lets you see everything you have open with a single glance at the tabs and navigate from one window to the other very easily.
In
Focus mode, opening a commentary will divide your screen in half, leaving the Bible passage in view in the left panel (the focus of your study), while placing the commentary
information (and all additional reference works you open) in the right panel. You keep in view whatever you want to be the focus of your study -- navigating through the reference works then
becomes a matter of using your "Back" and "Forward" buttons (just like browsing the Internet). In addition, at any time you may toggle between these modes with a single click of the mouse
-- you now have the power not only to decide what you want to study, but also the way you want to study!
