- Rather than having a set list of book abbreviations,
Accordance only requires that you enter enough of a book name to
uniquely identify it. Thus, "1p" is all you need to identify
1Peter, while 1Corinthians would require "1Co" (to distinguish
it from 1Chronicles). This ability was recently beefed up in
Accordance 6 to account for an even wider variety of
abbreviations. Thus, "Luk", "Lu", and "Lk" will all find the
book of Luke. "Mat", "Mt," "Mw," Maw", "Matw", "Mtt", and other
combinations will all find Matthew. Basically, as long as you
get close, you're likely to find the book you're looking for. -
When dealing with book names beginning with a number, you can
have a space between the number and the book name ONLY when it
is the first reference in the entry box. Thus, you could have "1
Peter 3:1; Matthew 5; 1Sam 17" and it would work. But if you
have "1 Peter 3:1; Matthew 5; 1 Sam 17", that space between the
"1" and the "Sam" will cause Accordance to protest. Why does
that space cause so many problems? Beca
