It does not appear your Macro is that useful that I [the methodology] could borrow.Phil8659 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 13, 2025 1:33 amIt is a Word Macro I wrote. I started writing my own Word macro's back when Word 2 came out. I actually started copying books, on a TI-99., When I copied the Bible, it took 32 disk, I used the concordance to write a spell checker.Veritas Aequitas wrote: ↑Wed Mar 12, 2025 7:46 am I am interested.
How can I do that?
Do you have a portable program? I would like to have a copy.
There is, or was, a program called, I believe, InfoSearch, which might be still around and of some use. I tried it, but did not like it, as the results were text, and my macro worked within Word, and I could do some formatting automatically with it.
Here is a methodology I had been using [that ignorant FDP condemned as above];
1. Number every paragraph for each Chapter like what is done with the Bible.
2. Input that into one column in Excel.
3. Create relevant 'Categories' in the columns.
4. Do a word 'search' of critical words and concepts, mark them across the relevant categories.
5. Do a count of each category.
6. Like as in a "Word Cloud" those categories with the highest number are likely the main content and theme of the book.
7. Organize the categories into themes.
8. Based on what is read, estimate weightages for each category. For example I would put a high weightage for verses in the Mathew 5-7 re 'love all, even enemies' 'give the other cheek' John 3:16 and others.
For Christianity, what is the main doctrines are only from the Gospels that represent 'Christianity' proper; the OT, Acts, and Epistles are merely appendices to 'Christianity-proper'.
