Spreadsheet convention

You can paste information from an *.xslx spreadsheet into the Sections & Passages tab. See Also: Download a sample spreadsheet and Template Codes dialog box.

Your spreadsheet needs to have columns that match the columns in the Sections & Passages tab:

If you will sync with Paratext, you would want to enter this title in the vernacular language.

Hierarchical - The first row can contain the word Section (or another term) followed by the chapter and verse range, e.g., Section 1:5-25. Any information in the Section row is ignored. Then, below that are subsets of the Section verse range, e.g., 1:5-7, 1:8-10 and so on.

Flat - Each row is a verse range, such as 4:1-13, 4:31-37 and so on. Each Section has only one Passage.

Always use a hyphen, not an En dash or Em dash.

Tip

Scripture examples

Example 1 - Luke 1 (hierarchical)

Example 2 - A break in the middle of a verse (hierarchical)

Example 3 - A passage or section that spans across a chapter break (hierarchical)

 Note: The chapter number can only increase by one. 

Example 4 - Flat (no row is subordinate to another row)
