out.</p></div><div class="sect2" title="The Desk"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="hdbk-op-parts-desk"></a>The Desk</h3></div></div></div><p>The Desk is where the real work with <span class="application">BibleTime</span> takes
place. Here you can open works from the Bookshelf, read them,
<a class="link" href="hdbk-op-search.html" title="Searching in works">search</a> in them, and even
save your annotations in the personal commentary module (see
<a class="link" href="hdbk-op-parts.html#hdbk-op-parts-desk-write" title="Editing your own commentary">below</a>).</p><div class="sect3" title="Reading works"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="hdbk-op-parts-desk-read"></a>Reading works</h4></div></div></div><p>As we have
<a class="link" href="hdbk-op-parts.html#hdbk-op-parts-bookshelf-open" title="Reading works">already
seen</a>, you can open works for reading simply by clicking
on their symbol in the Bookshelf. A read window will open in
the Desk's area. Every read window has a toolbar. There you can
find tools to navigate in the work that this read window is
connected to, as well as history buttons like the ones that you
know from your browser.</p></div><div class="sect3" title="Read window placement"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="hdbk-op-parts-desk-placement"></a>Read window placement</h4></div></div></div><p>Of course, you can open multiple works at the same time.
There are several possibilities for arranging the read windows
on the desk. Please have a look at the entry
<span class="guimenu">Window</span> in the main menu. There you can see
that you can either control the placement of the read windows
completely yourself, or have <span class="application">BibleTime</span> handle the
placement automatically. To achieve this, you have to select
one of the automatic placement modes available at
<span class="guimenu">Window</span> → <span class="guimenuitem">Arrangement mode</span>. Just try it out, it's simple and works.</p></div><div class="sect3" title="Editing your own commentary"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="hdbk-op-parts-desk-write"></a>Editing your own commentary</h4></div></div></div><p>To be able to store your own comments about parts of the
Bible, you have install a certain work from the library of the
<a class="ulink" href="http://www.crosswire.org" target="_top"><span class="application">Crosswire Bible Society</span></a>.
This work is called "Personal commentary".</p><p>If you open the personal commentary by clicking on its
symbol in the Bookshelf with a
<span class="mousebutton">left</span> mouse button, it opens in read
mode. You will not be able to edit it in this mode. Should you
wish to write annotations into the personal commentary, you
have to open it with the
<span class="mousebutton">right</span> mouse button and then select
<span class="guimenu">Edit this work</span> and then either
<span class="guimenuitem">Plain text</span>(source code editor) or
