• How can I save a file that lists my courses in Logos 10?
    2. Hello Rev. Obermeyer, I’m interested in exporting a list to Excel. Not a problem if I’m not able to. I’ve exported a couple of other lists (see my other comment) and was curious to know if I could do the same for my courses. Thank you!
    3. I don't think there's a way to export the course list per se, but perhaps in your Library export file you could sort by type or something to extract the courses, then save that portion as a file of its own.

    4. That’s my next plan, Thanks!

  • Can I specify a Bible version for a Sermon document that is different from my preferred Bible without changing my preferred Bible? I want to pull verses from a different Bible just for this sermon, but I do not want to change the default Bible throughout Logos.

    2. https://support.logos.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016747391-Sermon-Builder#addcontent shows how you can change the Bible used in a "verse block" - but you would need to do this for each one

    3. Thanks, Graham. It's not a terrible burden to bear. It would be nice to have an option to set the Preferred Bible for a sermon and to provide the same Bible version selection for in-line verse.
    4. It's interesting, I tried to click on the Bible version the other day to change it and it didn't work, but now it does. So, yes, in the document, when you post a verse, click the translation abbreviation to change it to another translation. Agreed, it's cumbersome if you want a different version throughout and have to change each instance, but at least there's a way until that is changed. Blessings!

  • i can only get 3 col layout on home page even though i have selected 5
    2. If you zoom out (e.g., to something less than 100%), you'll probably see an additional column appear.
    3. I guess the margins aren't really that significant. If you adjust the width of your window, you'll see that we do fill the full space if there's room for another column. So I think it's mostly just about the math in terms of how much space and how many columns will fit based on your scaling/zoom and resolution.

    4. I changed the program scaling to 80% and got 4 columns

  • Hi Logos Team. I am having an issue with the pronunciation feature in Logos when attempting to search a lemma. When searching any greek lemma for instance, I type in the search box and only english characters appear. So the entire list of greek words words disappear. So essentially search does not work at all. How to I switch the keyboard to use greek characters when a greek lemma is selected?

    2. thank you for update, however the issue is happening on my laptop win10 machine, not on iphone
    3. The Factbook will let you search for Greek and Hebrew words, use the keyboards, and pronounce them, if that's a useful alternative to the Pronunciation Tool for you.
    4. To search for Greek, search g:philos; to search for Hebrew, search h:ahab.

    Hello Logos Team. I have a feature request. Currently, it is a bit cumbersome to access the highlights feature. What I mean is that one can select the text and then highlight it from there, but I think it would be a very nice feature to have a highlights button added to the menu buttons. The menu could be a drop-down menu that lists the most recent and most used highlights. It could also have a link to open the full highlights window. This way, it would be always available and visible for quicker access. I've attached a screenshot of where it would be very helpful. Is this under consideration? Can this feature be added? Thanks!

    2. You can drag the Highlight tool button to the favourites section of the toolbar, to give you a handy shortcut. There is also a new feature available in the Early Access of the Logos Pro subscription (https://www.logos.com/early-access) which puts the Highlight button exactly where you suggest in each open resource. It only opens the Highlighting tool and doesn't have a drop down option. Hope this helps!

      I added mine to the my top bar. I just wish they would quit enlarging the Passage or Topic input box and pushing my icons off my screen. It used to be much smaller and I had many more icons up there.
    4. adjusting the Program Scaling and maybe even the Content Scaling in the Program Settings might help you better see your icons, text, etc.

  • Experiences with Logos 10 New AI Features When it comes to technology, we live in a point-and-click world. When working on a new software or a new software feature, we are ready to give up after a couple of point-and-click failures. This was my experience with the new AI features in Logos. I subscribed to the new AI functionality, thinking it was a point-and-click function. My first few attempts at using it were unsatisfactory. Having about 2000 plus curated resources in my Logos 10 library, I thought I would benefit far more from using AI than what I was seeing. However, I didn't give up, even though I was strongly tempted to. The failure to get the promised AI benefits seemed to be more about my "unlearned state" than with the AI program. Having used Logos for a few years, I knew that to get the most benefit from a Logos feature or tool, you must take the time to "learn" it before using it. Once I committed to learning how to use the new AI functions and started using them as "one who was instructed," it was like the theme of Disney's Aladdin: "It's a Whole New World." Now, I am very happy I didn't give up!

    2. I got my orientation to the AI features via YouTube "Is Logos Bible Software Better with AI?" with Pastor Tanner. https://youtu.be/F7JUh1KdqeU?si=c6wsdbzttXsMvsZZ Then I read the Help files on Smart and Precise search. I have used the book/article summaries a couple of times, and I think I have used insights a couple of times. Most of the time I use the AI as a "Super Google on Steriods" Laser Search of my own library. Factbook provided way too much info. I found the the way that you limit your search to just the content you own. Although I don't mind sometimes seeing what else outside my library meets my search criteria. Logos implemented AI differently than ChatGPT, which is where you have a dialogue with a ChatBot. The only similarity to ChatGPT is that the search statements are less syntax specific and more English like. In otherwords, the AI recognizes what you want and converts the search into the proper syntax for you.

    3. Thanks for posting this. Can't wait to follow your excellent plan to learn how to use the AI function!

    4. Hi. I know there was more into searching in Logos than the Boolean searches that I run once in a while. However, with this AI Search I was able to ask a question as would do to any scholar or expert, just a simple question… I was very satisfied with the response I got. A straight answer with 3-4 references that I could futher evaluate (links). Then a list of additional references from my library… I was very satisfied with the answers received. The fact that the answers were based from the books from my library gave me greater confidence in the response. Also used the Summary function. It helped me to assess a chapter’s content in a short time. Previously was not sure about going with the subscription, but after trying the AI and seeing the answers it provided were straight to the point with references linked in a short “abstract”, I will continue with the subscription. Additionally, the fact that the answers to my questions were provided in the Language set in Settings (Spanish as my first Language) saved me a lot of time when making a Presentation for church youth.

    1. Does anyone else have a problem with using your mouse when scrolling on your Chromebook?

      1. No I do not have any issues with my mouse..

    2. Anyone else have a few major annoyances when using the Sermon Builder? First, formatting carries from one line to the next. I always have to unformat lines because they keep the formatting from the prior line. I spend so much time unformatting texts. Second, lately I have to re-highlight a phrase if I want to change it to a heading/quote/illustration and also highlight it. For example, I select a section of text and highlight it yellow. I then have to re-select the text to make it a blockquote. Third, highlighting a text green, yellow, (etc) takes too many steps. First, you highlight the text. Then you click the dropdown arrow by Aa. Then you pick the highlight. Same goes for font size and text color. Why not have a pop up appear when you highlight a selection? As it is, highlighting a text or changing the color is time consuming if you do it a lot (like I do). Fourth, I really wish there were more styles to the text than illustration, blockquote, and prompt. Anyway, I've been using the sermon builder and mostly enjoy it, but these glitches or lack of features make me want to go back to Pages.... Hopefully Logos fixes them!!

      2. David - thanks for the response. I appreciate it! Glad to hear you're working on some glitches. FYI when Logos lacks a feature it doesn't typically bother me a ton, but when there's a glitch in something I use every day I do get a little frustrated (praying for patience!). Other styles: maybe something about levels of importance. For example, I sometimes have important statements I want to make in a sermon and not miss. On the other hand, sometimes I have a section of a sermon I might not end up preaching, and I'd like it to be flagged when I preach it as "optional" or something. There could also be a style for application and for background information of the text. Perhaps you could even make user-customizable styles. That'd be cool! On that note, as I mentioned, I'd LOVE to see the option to highlight or change the text color when I select a phrase in the sermon-builder and right click on it. Also, it would be great if we could use our own highlighting palettes in the sermon builder. I am most familiar with Pages. But I also use word from time to time. Thanks again!

      3. Over the past year or two, I have transitioned from Pages (which I have used for many years), with its multicolored, multi-font options to LOGOS for its benefits. Record keeping, ease of selecting any of the various translations, ease of citation from any book in my Logos library, and more have improved my workflow and organization system. I now utilize the simple capacity to export to WORD, which is sent on to our tech team for projection and creative graphic purposes.) I plan to keep using the Sermon Builder tool and will CELEBRATE any significant improvements.

        One feature I'd love to see improved and is actually the biggest hindrance in my workflow is the slide creator / editor. I still find myself exporting to PowerPoint and doing all the slide work in there. It takes me away from the Logos platform and introduces at least two steps and an external program that disrupts the process.
