Section Selection

You can select up to 4 sections within a book to compare the frequency of words between these specific sections, versus viewing their frequencies for the entire book as a whole if you desire. For example, here w see the first few words in alphabetical order and how often they appear in the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Book of Mormon, and the Doctrine and Covenants. With our current preferences (configured in the Subcolumn option between the two highlighted sections shown), the first column for each book displays the frequency per million words for the given word, and the second column displays he actual frequency of the word in that section.
