Checking Modules

• Select the module you want to check from the list under Module Name.

Check for Extraneous Blank Lines

• Removes any extra lines from the text. Usually only one blank line is needed between paragraphs etc..

Check for English Usage of “An” and “A”

• Checks for missing “an” which is used in front of a word starting with a vowel. Only use this check on English material.

Example

And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD

Check for Orphan Tokens

• This checks text for punctuation marks that are not in the proper place such as periods inserted in the middle of a word or a space between a question mark and the word. You will want to keep this option checked.

Hint:

You can suppress "Orphan token" or "Invalid Token" detection by prefixing a "!!" before the token.
Example - !!(:)

Allow Imbedded Brackets in Tokens

• This feature is not used unless you are working with Hebrew or Greek text. It checks for brackets contained within the text.

After you have selected all of the options you want click on OK to continue. A window will then open up showing the source, destination and working paths. Click on OK to start.

Click on Exit when done. If errors are found the editor will open up displaying a list of errors.
