Step 3 of 6

Add the journals

Each month, download the Chinese Watchtower and the English Watchtower of the same month, then bring both in with Open Downloads, just as you did with the Bibles.

1. Download the two journals from jw.org

On jw.org, find The Watchtower (Study Edition) for the month and download it as a PDF:

Downloads\w_CHS_202608.pdf
Downloads\w_E_202608.pdf

Keep the names as they are. The program finds the English Watchtower that goes with a Chinese one by its name: w_CHS_202608 goes with w_E_202608.

2. Bring each journal into the program

  1. Click Open Downloads, then Journal.
  2. Select the Chinese journal, e.g. w_CHS_202608.pdf, and click Open.
  3. Click Open Downloads → Journal again and select the English one, w_E_202608.pdf.

3. Open an article

  1. Click Open Journal PDF. It lists the journals you have brought in. Choose the Chinese one and click Open.
    The list of journals in the program
  2. Choose the study article you want and click OK.
    Choosing one of the articles in the journal
  3. The article opens with its characters and pinyin. It's saved automatically as you work.

If you choose the English journal in Open Journal PDF, the program says it's "not a Chinese journal". That's fine: the English one is only used for comparing, and the program finds it by itself.
