Greetings, Mark, you certainly have my permission to do as you requested. In fact, I already have my Bible studies and sermon outlines in Microsoft Word documents which might save you some time. I've attach a link below to download the compressed ("zip") file of my EO docs. Hope that helps.

Mark Johns: But I'm not sure yet what the difference is between a monograph and a Commentary.
Hello, Mark!
See HERE, or more specifically HERE, to answer your question concerning the different types of personal books. Some info is also available in your Logos Help file.

Mark-
I'll explain it the best I understand it. When compiling a book, it is important to tell Logos what type of book it is. Is it a monograph (such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer's "Ethics") or is it a commentary (such as your commentaries on Ruth).
The reason why this is important comes down to searches. If you search for a text and limit it to commentaries, (which you will want to do as your library grows and you have hundreds and thousands of resources to search through) then the resource you identify as a commentary will be included in the search. If not (the default is monograph) then it will not be included in the search. I am attaching a screenshot with the dropdown menu exposed on the compile form. This is true for other book types such as Journals, Dictionaries, Harmonies, etc.
Please don't ask why the menu has "Commentary" as well as "Bible Commentary". I have no idea. But just pick one an be consistent with it is my suggestion.
All the best, Cal
Calvin Habig:Please don't ask why the menu has "Commentary" as well as "Bible Commentary". I have no idea. But just pick one an be consistent with it is my suggestion.
"Bible Commentary" comments on Bible while "Commentary" comments on other resource types: e.g. my purchased library has 185 "Commentary" resources, which comment on Didache, Letters of Ignatius of Antioch, Perseus Latin, Pseudapigrapha, Shakespeare, ...

That makes it a little easier to understand.
Think I will try the Commentary option instead of the Monograph.Even though the files are mostly Outlines, they are also Commentaryand would seem to make sense that to Compile using the Commentaryselection would be batter. Especially after you esplained that abouthow a search works in Logos.
Thanks again for the help. The commentary/outlines for Acts will beposted soon. I am at chapter 20 of Acts. when that is done, I will tryto add Copelands additional Commentary and notes for the verses and chapters. All together iit is or will be over 60 .docx fiiles.
Brother Copeland sent the Acts Outlines to me in a Single .docx file,so it might be easier to work with one file than a bunch of files.
Thanks again for your hlep.
Thanks,
Here is about the fourth book I have created for LOGOS 8 in the last 7 days.It is entitled "The Roots of Our Unbelief" (c)1948 by James D. Bales of Harding College (now University.It has 13 chapters plus and Appendix. Deals with Apologetics and Unbelief. My dad used it when hehad the author for a Bible Professor in 1948 at Harding.
Here is the book: 4403.Roots of Our Unbelief by J.D. Bales.docx

I cannot wait for you to publish all the Copeland outlines. It has been on my list to create personal books for myself from them for sometime now and I just have not had the time.
The other reason to format it as a Bible Commentary is that it will then show up in the Commentary section when you run a passage guide. Or any other guides that include the commentary section. I would really love it if there was an outline type so that the outlines would show up in an outline guide section, but Bible Commentary is the closest we have to include it in searches and guides.

Calvin,
On the 24th you sent me a post requesting my email address.Somehow I overlooked that message. So I am responding to your post.Sorry it is late. I have had some surgery recently and in my pain and discomfortI didn't notice your request. My email is as follows below
djmarko53 {at} live {dot} com
I will try and send you a short message to make sure I wrote it down right.Got a notebook just for important websites and emails. Got a special pagein it just for LOGOS users.I would be most happy to converse via email with another Stone-Campbell guy.I attended Lipscomb University in Nashville in the 1970's. Left there in mid 1973.Did some Teaching Training at the Univ of Louisville and graduated in 1974. Mydad attended Pepperdine College (University now) and graduated from HardingUniv. in 1949. Got his special ed Masters from Louisville in 1965. Pretty muchfollowed in my dad's footsteps as far as preaching goes.
Give me a holler at the above address. Talk at you later,. Sorry again for the latereply to your request. Gonna blame that one on the pain med the surgeon prescribed.
Carla,
Would have got back with you but wife has been sick with COVID.
This is my 9th day since she started symptoms. No symptoms in me yet. Praise the Lord!
Just to let you know that I haven't forgotten about the Copeland Outlines.Mark Copeland called me a week ago yesterday. Talked for a long time.He has an interesting story to tell. He is also a LOGOS user. Sent me alot of his outlines in .docx format. They were done on a Apple MAC anddon't look the same on my PC. When I get the time will start on them.
Take care,
Mark Johns:Sent me a lot of his outlines in .docx format. They were done on a Apple MAC and don't look the same on my PC.
Wonder if the .docx look better in LibreOffice ?
Recovery is more important that Personal Books. Take care of yourself. The Copeland Outlines can wait. BTW. I have converted some of the Minor Prophet Outlines when I was leading a study. If you want my conversions, I would be happy to send them to you. Carla
Sure Carla,
That would be great!
Also, I came across a link on one of the forums about Milestones.I meant to print it out at the time, but now I cannot find it. Perhapsyou might know where the link is. It has all the help and info as tohow to create and insert Milestones into you Personal Books.
I cannot seem to find that Link. I have searched all over LOGOS andwhen in LOGOS I enter "Milestones," "Create Milestones in Personal Books,"I need the examples. Should be no more than a couple pages. If someonehas that info or just a working link I can click on. Need to know how to not justcreate but how and where to insert it into a .docx file for creating either a Bible Commentary or Monograph book. Thanks....
This is driving me up a wall. Might try looking in the area for former WORDSearchUsers. Haven't tried that. LOGOS online help isn't being very helpful today.

How can I post a file on the Files forum that is probably going to beat least 20MB in size? One I want to upload is already 4 MB in sizeand LOGOS site won't allow me to post it to the Files Forum.
How can I then share large files with LOGOS users?
Here is the message I keep getting (several times already today).
You can upload it to One Drive or Drop Box and post a link to it here. Then anyone who wants it can follow the link to your drop box or One Drive account and download it. That is what some of the people do. Most do Drop Box, but I am assuming One Drive will work the same way.
Thanks, Carla
Have just posted Zerr's Commentary on the Book of Genesis.I am now working on his commentary on Exodus this weekend.
As I told Carla, I sent my six volume hardback collection of Zerr'sCommentary to the owner(s) of the http://restorationlibrary.org website.They scanned all books and posted them as .PDF Files on their website.
I took all .PDF files and converted them to a User Book for WORDSearch.Took me forever to do that. Since WORDSearch will allow me to print outany portion of the Zerr Commentary in HTML Format, I can load into Microsoft WORD andedit the text. Genesis is now complete and has been posted to the "Files" forum.
Please keep in mind. There are some errors, most being Spelling errors.Some I blame on Microssoft Word and some blamed on me, because I didn'thave the time to check for punctuation or proper grammar, etc.
Hope you all enjoy this Restoration Movement Commentary. Other thanBurton Coffman's Commentary on the Bible, this is the only Complete Commentaryon all 66 Books to come out of the Restoration Movement.
