Thank you Paul for the help, the only problem is that my teacher does not want us to "short hand" anything.. He also told us that although the most important details will stand out more with fewer shorter words, if we get into a habit of that, we may end up cutting out important details that we did no see as important the first time around. As far as just saying Verse 3, instead of in chapter 2 verse 3... I just copied and pasted that beginning 50 times and was just changing the verse number as I went.. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
