When all else fails, read the docs. </ReminderToSelf> I just read the documentation on that curious checkbox and figured out what it was for. <quote> Clicking on the Book Drop Down Button will display a menu list of the books of the Bible. Clicking on a book in the list will load the text starting at verse one, chapter one, for that book. Clicking on a Chapter or Verse Spin Buttons will change the current verse forward or backward a chapter or verse. Clicking the Check Mark Button will bring the display back to the verse referenced by these fields if the display has scrolled away from it. </quote> I guess I never tried the checkmark after scrolling away from it. Perhaps a cute little anchor would be more descriptive. As for the "back" button, it does work with bookmarks and changing between modules, but it does not work for me if I type in a new reference, and then try to go back to the previous reference. by grace alone, Don A.
