Thomas,

If Logos would impliment:

• Variable line width
• Variable line type
• Shapes
• Highlighting

Then it would be amazing and there'd be no need to go to a 3rd party software...

that would even make my buy a graphics tablet if they did that...

I have used it on and off...I've not had a graphics tablet in a long time so I tend not to use it.

It's also not the most "intuitive" software on the planet..

PS: I don't think it "installs" its a standalone...

that is what I'd like to be able to do on screen.

Jeremiah,

What Philip did there is not a presentation "markup" program but something like Windows (Vista, 7) Snippet program. Other programs, like Snagit, have exactly what you're looking to do...but it is not something you can work directly within your Logos Bible program.

Well I don't want it to work "with" Logos ness.  Just work "over" it so I can mark up the screen over the program not ness. "in" the program.  With that Snagit do the job?

Snag it would take a snapshot of the screen you want (in this case a pic of your Logos layout)...then bring it into Snagit to make the markups accordingly. That is also the way the other 3rd party programs of this nature work. I don't know of a program that works "over" another program.

And a free one called "Presentation assistant lite"

Hi Thomas,

Logos 4 has a built in presenters mode!  Click the F8 button to experience it.

Thanks for the tip, though my "experience" wasn't positive... I couldn't figure out how to get it to quit & ended up having to start the taskbar & kill L4. I'm sure that isn't the preferred way of turning it off. And since it was ready to mark up ANYTHING in every other window, I HAD to get it turned off...

None of the function keys worked to turn it off (including F8). Nor did Esc, ctrl-Q. or any of the other usual suspects.

? 

EDIT: the 2nd time I tried it, Esc did work. Problem solved... Weird, that 1st try, though!

Yes. Once when I Alt-Tabbed to another program while in  the "presenters mode", Logos got confused and I couldn't get out of the mode either.

What is the best software to use for marking up the screen?  If I wanted to project my Logos SW for say... S.S. and be able to mark on the screen, what SW should I use?  Is there any decent free SW that will do this? 

Thank you for your help!

You can always use a Sharpie on your physical projection screen.  But those screens get kinda expensive.

The built in software is OK, but not perfect.  If you have the steady hand of an artist, you'll be fine.  But when I highlight, it looks like a 3-year-old got ahold of the marker set.

Ideal- project Logos on a Smartboard where your laser pointer will highlight things.  Expensive.

That click tricks looks like a slick version of the presenters assistant from the link above...but that's free

Does anyone know where to find help on how to use ClickTricks?  Tutorial?

I don't think there is any help or tutorial available other than whatever comes on the CD with the software (if anything). I recall installing it on my old computer and playing around with it a bit and figuring out the various options through fiddling with the menus. Sorry I can't be of more help.
