Configuring Windows 10

Setting up the Windows 10 Greek Polytonic Keyboard is a little bit tricky.

2. Click on Greek to bring up "Options."

3. Click on "Add a keyboard."

4. Select Greek Polytonic from the list.

5. Use mouse or [Windows key + space] to select the desired keyboard from the keyboards menu.

6. Now the keyboard will function as advertised in the next section.

There is a font conversion BW font to Unicode font contained in the BW8 Help file, chapter 59. The macros are also included in unimacros.txt in the main BibleWorks program directory. You will have to copy the text of macros, then open the Word Macro editor and paste the macros into the Word Macro editor. Then run the macros.

This is the best solution I've found so far. It was written by John Kendall and posted to the Bibleworks Forum.

"BWtoUnicodeMacro.zip"

Game plan

• Turn off Smart Quotes to make sure that the accents turn out well.

• Run the macro on the latest manuscript. It transcodes the characters and turns them red.

• Search for all red characters and replace them with the "automatic" font color. Standard replace procedure: make the replacement or else go on to the next instance of a string of red characters.
