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.
