Basics of project/resource (0.2.1b)

Paratext allows you to view several projects or resources at the same time.

Each project or resource is shown in a window, with its own title bar and menu. Projects can be editable but resources are never editable.

To open a project or resource​

  • Click the main Paratext menu ≡, and then click Open.
    The Open Project/Resource dialog box appears.

  • Filter or search for the files you want

  • The row of buttons along the top allows you to filter which types of files you see displayed in the list below.

  • Alternatively, you can use the search box to find the file you need to open.

  • To open a file,

  • Click the filename in the list

  • Choose the type of window (panel, tab, floating window, etc)

  • Click OK.
    A new window opens.

tip

When you start Paratext it will re-open the projects and resources you had open when you last closed Paratext. It also places your cursor in the verse where you last had your cursor.
