Wghat about command-f for find, then highlight that and go to the top
of the document. Go to a blank document and paste the text. Then
delete from the original--or maybe that shouldn't be the original,
just make one called working bible or something--and go back to that
one, and delete the text. Then do the same thing for the next one?
Just a thought.

Well, ok, but that's going to get tedious for whole books of the
Bible as I'll have to keep downarrowing looking for the next book
name. To give an example--just illustrating not trying to gripe
because text edit isn't emacs--in emacs I would do ctrl-s and start
typing the string I'm looking for. As I type, I'm moved to the
occurrence of the word; of course this can change as I add letters.
If the first occurrence isn't the one I want, I simply do ctrl-s
again and again until it gets to the one I want and then I hit
enter. Command-space marks the beginning of the block of text; then
the ctrl-search again for the end of the block. Then with ctrl-w or
alt-w depending whether I'm deleting or copying, the whole block is
taken care of. If copying to someplace else, I go there and do ctrl-
y. So you may accomplish the whole thing for a huge block of text
in six or seven keystrokes from search to mark to transfer. Maybe I
will suggest this to apple though I can't imagine others haven't
already done so.
