|
|
information can be found out here: http://www.bibletechnologies.net/
|
|
|
|

sensitive across all platforms. To convert a Bible using Command Prompt in
|
|
Windows or a Terminal in Linux or MAC you would type::
|
|
|

|
|

**About Web Download**
|
|
|
|
OpenLP provides a Web Download method to import Bibles when you do not have a

|
locally installed Bible available. The Web Download method registers the Bible
|
|
in OpenLP like the other bibles only it downloads the verses as you need them.
|
|
This import is not meant to be used as your sole source for Bibles, but rather
|
|
as another option and does require an internet connection.
|
|
|
|
To use the web download feature select web download from the import wizard.
|
|
|
|

what Bible translation you need. You will probably want to choose the location
|
|
from where you get the best performance or has the translation you need.
|
|
|
|

network administrator will know if this is necessary, in most cases this will
|
|
not be needed.
