Warning regarding Passage Lists

Verbum Help on advanced use of program settings:

[quote]•             set show passage list visual filter to yes or no disables or enables the Passage List Visual Filter from appearing in the Visual Filter menu. This filter can cause slowness in the application for users with an extremely large number of Passage Lists, and this command provides a workaround to improve the performance.[1]

Save as Visual Filter

This function begins to build a visual filter with the search argument converted to the condition for a highlight. The user needs to:

  1. Create an actual filter name.
  2. Select formatting.

Save as Word List

This option is not intended for our test case.  The discussion is delayed until original language topics are discussed.

The Option opens Verbum Help to the Search Overview section:
