Over the past few weeks, I’ve settled into a reading workspace in Accordance that I really like. A recent post on the Accordance forums prompted me to do a quick screen recording to demonstrate and explain the setup. I didn’t take the time to edit or polish it, but I hope it is helpful in…More

NIC in Accordance – Three Posts
This weekend I finished the third and final post on the New International Commentary (45 vols.) in Accordance Bible Software.
