Proverbs explorer omission?
I was playing with the Proverbs explorer for the first time today and noticed that Acts 20:35 is not listed among them. Is this an omission that should be corrected?

Is it possible to add a verse in sermon builder and not get the verse text?
Often using Sermon Builder it is useful to have the text of the verse added and you can press [TAB] to get the text inline or press enter to get it added as a new section. But sometimes I just want the verse reference and be able to hit ENTER and not get the text. A bullet point list of verses is a good example of this. I…

Factbook Labels
How does Logos determine what labels to apply? For a Catholic, the term "Proto-Protestant" sounds much the same as "Heretic". Poor Saint Gertrude! I tried the Smart Search to see if she had been described this way in any of the Logos resources, but it appears not. Is "Proto-Protestant" a label handed out freely to those…

"Insert Inline" cuts off passages?
In sermon builder, on the desktop app, when I type 1 John 4:7-21 and choose "insert inline," the program inserts verses 7 - 17, and then adds an ellipsis (…). But, if I choose "insert block" instead, it lists all verses 7-21. I experimented, and "insert inline" seems to cut long passages off regularly, but "insert block"…

Sermon Builder - removing spaces between verses
