<title>Setting Up</title>
<para>While still in the module manager, create indexes for all of the modules you just installed.
Then close the module manager and open <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Edit</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>
Preferences</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and go to <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Modules</guisubmenu>
<guimenuitem>Misc</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. Set your Hebrew and Greek lexicons according to what you installed.
Close preferences and open the KJV module. Turn on the module options <menuchoice>
<guisubmenu>Right Click</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>Module Options</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Show Strongs
</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Right Click</guisubmenu><guisubmenu>Module Options
</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Show Morphology</guimenuitem></menuchoice>. You should see the Bible text
change to show Strongs numbers underneath the appropriate English words. Hover over the numbers
(or letters for morphology) with the mouse and you will see the definition displayed in the previewer pane.
Click on the link and the definition will show in the dictionary pane. If you are using StrongsRealGreek or
StrongsRealHebrew, you can click on any other number referenced in the definition and you will be taken to that entry.
