Prioritizing the Dead Sea Scrolls Bible

I just got the Dead Sea Scrolls Bible, and I'd like to make it a prioritized Bible--not my preferred Bible, but to be in the top 5. I've already moved it toward the top in my Library (Ctrl-L), but when, from the home page, I open a familiar OT passage, this Bible doesn't appear automatically.

    If you right-click on an OT passage and select the Dead Sea Scrolls Bible, it will appear.  Don't expect it to appear "automatically" unless it has the highest prioritization.

    Remember also, the DSS Bible will only appear if the passage actually exists in the DSS. I was reading in Job last night for example, and most of the chapters have not been discovered in DSS.

    To be sure in your testing, open DSS Bible, find a verse you know is in it, then use that verse in your work - see if the DSS Bible shows up. If it does, your priorities are correct.

    Thanks--I appreciate your help. I have it now. Part of my difficulty is general newbie-ness.
