I've seen it both ways but I prefer leaving the numbers in the middle of the
line to save paper. Lutheran Bible Workers has a free NIV Bible which is quite
nice. I'm sure they'd give someone whichever books they needed rather than the
whole thing.

Subject: [duxuser] transcribing the Holy BIble
Has anyone experience in using DBT to transcribe the Holy Bible? If yes:
1. Do you leave the verses' numbers in mid-line where they appear in the
electronic Bible copies, or do you place them at the margins with spaces
between verses in the same line?
2. If you do place numbers in the margins, and leave several spacees
between where one verse ends and the next one begins, how did you set
this up short of doing it by hand? I can see how a macro might do this:
find the verse number; block it; place it in clipboard; reaplace it by several
spaces under certain conditions like line remaining; go to the begining of
that line and paste the verse number.
Why I ask? I must have three books translated: Proverbs, Song Of Solomon,
and Ecclesiastes. The originals done by A.P.H. are no longer done, and
they have numbers in margins. The electronic copies I now use have the
numbers either in the middle of the line, or each verse is a new paragraph.
Big job?
Charles
