Editor — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 03:58:15 +0000

recently received permission to use two different translations of the Bible on their website. Their original files are in Microsoft Word. What’s the best way to index this information (all 1189 chapters and the thousands of verses)? In the end they’d like it to be both searchable (by scripture reference or word) and able to allow users to copy/paste. Any suggestions? If so, just comment below. And thanks in advance for any help you can give them. They’re hard at work trying to share and *be* good news for their nation.
