BTS Reading Planner's ^® Main Menu

Starting the Built-In Guide

The Balancing the Sword Reading Planner ^® offers an endless variety of choices, but the Walkthrough makes the Reading Planner's flexibility very simple to use.  You can start the Walkthrough by clicking on Window and then Walkthrough.  Also, you can start a new schedule using the Walkthrough if you have retained your default settings by clicking on File and New or by clicking on the New Schedule icon (white page).

Am I Registered?

Click on Help and About.  If you are registered, at the bottom of the small window, you will see your "Registration key" and "Product code."  Also, if you are not registered, the word "Unregistered" will print across all entries in your reading plan after the first three weeks.

Need to Register?

Registering is always easy!  The option to register is presented upon first installation.  You can also click on Help and Registration from the Main Menu.  If you already registered, the software will notify you that your product code is already in use and will give you the opportunity to enter the 16-character registration key that you received when you first registered.

Manually Enter Your Registration Number 

If you registered your software, but the software still asks you to register and has "unregistered" in red across the planner's schedules, you can enter your registration number manually.  The registration key may have been blocked by your firewall or other security systems. 


1:  Close the BTS Reading Planner software.
2:  Click on "Start." 
3:  Click on "Run." 
4:  Type:  regedit
5:  Click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER."  (If you do not see this folder, go no further.)
6:  Click on "Software." 
7:  Click on "VB and VBA Program Settings."
8:  Click on "Balancing The Sword - Reading Planner"
9:  Click on "Registration"
10:  In the right panel, double-click the icon next to "RegID" and change the Registration ID to the 16-digit number we provide.  No hyphens should be included.
11:  Click "OK" to save your change.
12:  Exit the Registry Editor by clicking File and Exit.
13:  Open the BTS Reading Planner and create a reading plan to verify success.  You should no longer see "unregistered" across the reading plan.

Changing the Sequence of the Books

Within each reading session, you can change the sequence of the books.  Start by selecting the books you which to move up or down.  (You can select multiple books by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking on the books.)  Then, click on the Up or Down button.  Some people prefer to read the New Testament before the Old Testament because the New Testament is a more familiar section.  I pray that your love for God will compel you to gain a working knowledge of every book in the Bible.
