Sermon Builder and Pasting Passsages

Jackie Watts

When I paste a Scripture passage into SERMON BUILDER, I understand that the characteristics of COPY BIBLE VERSES are pasted over. I have developed my own tweaking some of the code. However, every time I paste into SERMON BUILDER, I want to change the format (see attached) so that the passage and reference are LARGE (while my commentary following is MEDIUM), while the reference is BOLD & UNDERLINED. Anyone know any way to write this into the code?

OR...would LOVE to see any Scripture passages in SERMON BUILDER have a BLUE BOX surrounding to set it off from the rest of text (rather than just a GRAY BLOCKQUOTE line.

Hi Jackie

I don't believe that what you are describing is currently possible.

In other words, I don't think that we have the ability to alter the way the Bible references/text are formatted, other than after they have been added (using the little pencil button that appears when you hover over the passage). 

The only workaround is to create a custom style and then select that each time you add and edit a verse/passage. However, you'd need a different style for the reference (blue, bold and underlined) and the passage. 

And I believe that there used to be a box of some kind surrounding Bible quotes. Not sure why that was changed.

When I paste a Scripture passage

2 things you may consider:

1. Instead of "pasting", if you type a reference, it will create a Scripture block. (has a BLUE line on left to set it apart)

2. from the scripture block, you can click the displayed "pencil" to edit - editing changes from blue line Scripture to grey line quote, but then you can edit the size of reference (graphic below is XL) and size of the text (graphic below is L).

once it is a "quote" you can bold, change color/size of font, and change background color to draw attention.
