Convert BBLX to TOPX

Understanding bblx and topx file formats

BBLX files are Bible modules used by TheWord Bible software. They contain structured biblical texts, commentaries, or dictionaries in a proprietary format. TOPX files, on the other hand, are topic note modules used by e-Sword, another popular Bible study application. TOPX files store user-created notes, articles, or topical studies, making them accessible within e-Sword.

Why convert bblx to topx?

Converting BBLX to TOPX allows users to transfer Bible study materials, commentaries, or notes from TheWord to e-Sword. This is especially useful for those who switch between these two platforms or want to share resources with users of a different Bible study software.

How to convert bblx to topx

There is no direct, one-click converter for BBLX to TOPX due to the proprietary nature of both formats. However, you can follow these steps:

1. Export from TheWord: Open your BBLX file in TheWord. Use File → Export → Export current module to export the content to a standard format such as RTF or HTML.
2. Prepare for import: Edit the exported file if necessary to ensure the formatting is compatible with e-Sword's topic note structure.
3. Import into e-Sword: Open e-Sword and go to File → Import Topic Notes. Select your exported file and follow the prompts to create a new TOPX module.

Best software for bblx to topx conversion

The most reliable method is to use the built-in export and import features of TheWord and e-Sword. For advanced users, third-party tools like Module Converter (from BibleSupport.com) or ToolTip Tool NT can help automate or streamline the process, but manual review is often necessary to ensure accuracy.

Tips for a successful conversion

• Always back up your original BBLX and exported files before conversion.
• Check the formatting and content after importing into e-Sword to ensure nothing is lost or misaligned.
• For large modules, consider splitting content into smaller sections for easier management.
