This is really good and helpful. Thanks Steve!
Peter
Nicely done. Thanks!
Nice!
Hey Steve,
Excellent job on this. The screen shots are great and the directions are clear and simple to follow. I've been using a similar strategy since I saw Marks video about a month ago. I'll definitely refer prople to your wiki instructions for using favorites.
Mark Barnes is the man who came up with this amazing use for Favorites. i just documented it on the wiki. Noticed that as we get more new visitors to the forum and they might have questions on how to use favorites, notes or clippings (tying them together); that it would be nice to have his info available to them.
Glad it is appreciated, thanks.
You've added the notion of storing layouts there too. That gets me to thinking. If we were doing an in-depth study and a particular topic, that could come in handy. Say I want to start my study at a particular location in the passage I'm studying (maybe Galilee), I could setup a layout that had my Bible and commentary on one screen, and my Atlas open on the other screen. Then save that as a layout. As my study of the passage moves on (maybe to original languages) I could store my original language layout. All the while, I'd be adding notes, clippings, links to resources, even external web sites. This entire study would be kept in a folder that might be kept in another folder and I could walk back through the entire study at any later time. This was really a brilliant concept.
Steve, what do you use to add circles and arrows to screenshots. I am planning to prepare tutorials for our students in Russia and would like to know.

i use a free graphics program named Paint.Net. i have to manually draw the circles, then draw the arrows, and then place the text in the circles. So it could be done manually with a variety of programs. You can find Paint.Net on Cnet.
I saw others doing the circle/arrow thing and mimicked them. But i think they have a program that may do it with less steps. Perhaps others will see this post and reply back if they have an easier way.
Hope this helps

I use SnagIt which is a commercial screen capture program that lets you add annotations (such as circles and arrows and text), edge effects and more. There are free ways to do the basics (e.g., Ctrl+PrintScreen copies the whole screen to the clipboard, then you can paste it into MS Paint and crop and edit it), but SnagIt makes it easier!
