The IBS Charting Wizard is a Microsoft Word Wizard designed to help you quickly
and easily create
Inductive Bible Study Charts. The program does all the calculations
and counts for you thus saving you time by drawing the chart for you so that you
can spend more time on the important things like filling in the chart with
all your cool observations etc.
The program will help you create Horizontal and Vertical Charts,
Paragraph Titles, or simply help you out by doing the counting for you so
you can create your own cool chart by hand.
Yes! You need to own your own copy of Microsoft Word in order to
use the IBS Charting Template. It is designed to run with Word and
it can not run with out it! Currently the wizard works with Word 97,
2000, XP (2002) and 2003.
Rather than reinvent the wheel I decided to use the features in MS Word
to build the charting template program. Word is a good word
processor and it has lots of great features plus it has support the visual
basic language which use used to write the charting program during my
SBSCC.
Once the program has been installed you can launch the wizard from the
start menu/programs/Inductive Biblestudy Template/IBS Charting Wizard or
you can start the wizard from Word using the File menu/New.../and select
the Charting
Wizard from the list. When the wizard has started select the type of chart you want, select
the breaks, then watch while the program creates your charts. See
the Windows help file that comes with the program for more info.
The program costs $10.00 USD ($10.60 if you pay using a Credit Card)
If you can't afford that but would still like to have your own copy the
program then give me a shout and we can working something out. If
you would like donate more to help me work on this project then that would
be great as well!
For Schools who would like to offer the program to your students please
contact me and we can work something out on a per student,
per school basis usually
around $5.00 usd / student using the program.
Well ... there no way I can physically stop you from doing that.
However, I don't think that would be honoring God or the spirit of the
contract agreement! Lev 19:11

My desire is to make this tool available for a reasonable amount and help
recover something from the hours of work I have put into this program.
I'm still full time with YWAM.
In Theory yes. In reality no. :-( The code as it
currently is will not work on Word of the Mac however it is possible to
get it running for the Mac - the problem is that I don't have a Mac
computer to test and develop with.
