Viewing the source text

You can view your source text (the text from which the concordance was made) while you also view the Wordlist and the Contexts.  

The source text can be viewed in a File Viewer or a File Editor.  The Editor allows changes to be made to the source text, though changes will not be reflected in the concordance until you Make it again.

Clicking on a line in the Context View will re-position the File Viewer or Editor to display that line in the original text.

Double-clicking on a word in the File Viewer or Editor will re-position the Wordlist to display occurrences of that word, provided it is included in the Wordlist.

Choosing between the Viewer and the Editor
  • The Viewer can display files of unlimited size, but lines must not be longer than 1024 characters.
  • The Editor can display files of up to 16 MB, and lines may be up to 32767 characters long.
  • The Viewer uses a modest, fixed amount of memory whatever the size of the file it displays. 
  • The Editor loads the whole file into memory, and therefore requires a large amount of memory when editing a large file.
