CCEL Usage Hints

Hints for Common Tasks

Printing

To print a large section of a book, it is often easiest to download the PDF version. These are formatted to print nicely on 8.5x11 paper.

You can scroll a page with the up and down arrow keys. Click on an entry in the Table of Contents to expand it.

Researching a term

Try a definition search by clicking Definitions under the Search tab. This option searches for definitions of a term in several CCEL dictionaries and encyclopedias.

Setting preferences

Would you like to see Bible passages in a favorite translation? Would you rather turn the footnotes off, so that you see them only when you click on the footnote number? If you are logged in, you can set user preferences by clicking my account (upper right), clicking the Edit tab, and selecting the "CCEL Preferences" tab.
