Limitations: the interacttive ignores the deuterocanon; the Passage Guide ignores user created labels IIRC,

1. The Bible Outline Browser in an interactive which one may open from Tools, Library or the Command Box. It reflects much of the same data as the Outline Section of the Passage Guide.

2. Each resource has its own expand/contract arrowheads where appropriate; the Passage Guide has the expected mouse over flyout preview. The left side resource list may be slid out of sight.

3. Opening the resource allows you to see the outline as originally presented as compared to the Bible Browser version.

4. Moving from the reading view to the compare view (upper right option) gives an "empty" comparison of the outlines in multiple resources, However, on mouse over, you will discover that the columns left to right within a resource's column represent outline levels .. and the title for a box is shown along with all other titles up the hierarchy of the outline. When a box is white, the outline does not provide a title for those verses at this particular level.

    Very nice tip! I ignore the interactives, mostly, because I think many of them (Numbering the Ten Commandments, Who Killed Goliath?, Days of Creation) are "gee-whiz" for a second and "Why is this taking up a section on a main menu?" for a lifetime. Some are more useful (obviously the Psalm and Proverbs Explorers) and some are bafflingly useless (Alphabet tutors, or as I have nicknamed them, "Mission drift").  But this is really useful for actual work. [Y]

    Did not find any Bible outlines for Sirach, even though pericopes appeared in BibleOutline Browser.  Found outlines for Maccabees, Tobit, and Wisdom.

    Keep Smiling [:)]
