Copying Interlinear

All,

Could you please advise me if there is a way to copy an Interlinear into a word processing document? I have tried this, and it does not seem to work. Or is there an interlinear somewhere on the web that will allow me to do this?

The purpose is to help someone who does not know Greek to see that there might be valid reasons in the language for a translation done in a particular way.

Thanks for this

Straight copy and paste seems to work for me with the reverse interlinear. Would this serve your purpose?

I can't see how a straight interlinear would help with what you want to do. (But I am no expert in this field)

Thanks, Mike,

Had not tried the reverse interlinear

Thanks for your suggestion. I will try it and see if it works for my purposes.

Leaving you in God's Care and Grace.

For clarification: Mike shows the interlinear, not the reverse interlinear.

A reverse interlinear utilizes the English as the base text... so when a user wants to "see what's under" a word in the NIV, for example, that is a reverse interlinear.

I don't understand. Mike's screenshot shows the ESV with its reverse interlinear.

Mike copied text shows inline data that is laid out like an interlinear. That data is obtained from the associated Reverse Interlinear dataset. In the UI, this is referred to as the Inline Reverse Interlinear, but it is presented as an Interlinear, so often people are not precise when talking about it.

I need to print out or paste to word a reverse interlinear or a regular interlinear to view while I am off my PC. Any advice on how to do this?

I found an Interlinear Bible works best (I'm using MS Word):

1.Open in a floating window

2. Make its width smaller than the page width of Word on your screen.

3. Display Manuscript, Lemma and Literal translation

(screenshot is from MS Word)

4.Select Narrow Margins in Word (you might have to use Custom Margins, though)

5. Copy your Interlinear text and paste into Word

6. Keep Source formatting in Word as it is more compact.

* if an Interlinear display (three rows in this case) is split over two pages, you might have to manually adjust the bottom/top page margin.

It is fiddly, and I'm not sure when Word resorts to using a Text Box vs Tables!
