Here's a Reference Guide on how to make the specific url:

King of kings' Bible Hyperlink Guide.pdf (144.7 KB)

But it's basically the main url to the Bible
Followed by the book number (chronological order)
Book name - specific abbreviation (given in PDF Guide - it must contain this abbrev.).
.htm
Then the chaper and verse are entered preceded by a hashtag and underscore.
No spaces in the url.

If you use the PDF Guide to copy and paste the book-url, all you'll need to add is the #chapter_verse to the end.

Without the book-name-abbreviation, such as "eph" for Ephesians, the link won't work.

Examples for reference:

Ezekiel 21:26 would be
ezek

Ephesians 4:29 would be
eph

1 John 3:2 would be

1john

These specific urls can be applied in Word, or other documents, as well as on other websites for sharing.

The book abbreviations can be found on the PDF Guide or on the ASK Disk in the Bible Folder.

The verse is easily read and hyperlinked.

Thank-you kindly.

On DG - In edit mode a hyperlink also looks like this:

In Brackets [ ] is the word that will be hyperlinked, which in this case is Genesis 49:10 - [Genesis 49:10]

Immediately following is the url in Paratheses ( ), which in this case is the specific hyperlink.

Notice there are NO spaces.

This is useful if you need to make an edit; or check to see why a link isn't working.
