The HeavenWord Childrens Bible [image] supports multiple users (up to 12) of the program. Benefits include:

1.	Each user gets a separate coloring book. Little brother can color his own  fresh pictures and not change big sisters color choices.  (Mom and Dad can have their own pictures too!)

2.	Parents can also control the features of the HeavenWord Childrens Bible, depending on a childs interests and abilities.

To change users, click [image] and click on a pictured person."  You can also enter a name to display on the title bar of the program to remind you who is using the program.

Special Note: The program tracks users by the pictured person selected, not by the name used.  You may change or edit the names freely, but you cannot move little brothers colored pictures from one pictured person to another.  Pictures remain with the selected person no matter what name is entered.

To control features, choose a pictured person and click the Advanced button.  The "Advanced User Options" dialog will appear with the following opitons.  By default, all options are turned ON.

General Options

Auto-Play Stories, if checked, automatically starts narrating the story, story notes, or Bible backgrounder when you make a selection.  Once you have made a selection, click [image]  to stop or start the narration.

Include Background Essays, if checked,displays the supplemental Bible Background Essays at the end of the list of stories, after the end of the New Testament stories. There are no pictures, paintings or activities associated with these essays. If these essays are not suitable for your child, un-check this option, and the essays will not appear.

Hypertext Options

Hypertext jumps are available to view more information related to a story. Each jump is highlighted with a yellow background only when the narration for the story is OFF. (Click [image] to turn the narration ON or OFF.)

Enable Bible Jumps, if checked, lets you jump into full text of the Bible story in the King James Bible.  You can then read, scroll, or search the full Bible text (no narration is available).  If this option is too advanced for your child, un-check it.

Enable Story Notes, if checked, lets you jump to special story notes.  These simplified Study Bible Notes appear as a hypertext jump at the end of the story.  Not all stories have notes, but most do.  If this option is too advanced for your child, un-check it.

Enable Dictionary, if checked, lets you click on highlighted words in the story to get a narrated dictionary entry to explain the word.  If this option is too advanced for your child, un-check it.

These options permit you to fine-tune the HeavenWord Childrens Bible to match the capabilities of each user of the program.
