Using Passage List to limit Visual Filters
Page Contents
Introduction
- You may want to create a Visual Filter for specific words, but you only want them to appear on specific Bible passages.
- You can use a Passage List to identify a range of verses for the Visual Filter.
- Then use the Passage List where you normally select All Passages.
- This is just one example, so hopefully you get the idea and can apply it where it may be useful.

- Click on Documents in the main menu.
