Note filenames vs. Clipping filenames?

Mike Waugh

I'm really just now beginning to learn and use the notes and clipping features on Logos. (I would love to see a video that goes beyond the 'how to' of using notes/clippings and see one of how some of you actually use them in your everyday studies.)

I've noticed that L4 doesn't distinguish note names from clipping names. For example, I created a note file and named it "God, sovereignty of." If I understand the purpose of 'notes' correctly, my thought was that as I came across Scripture that dealt with the sovereignty of God I would add them to the note file. 

I also wanted to create a clipping file for the same subject. This way I could add quotes from Bible dictionaries, etc. I tried to name the clipping file just as I did the note file - "God, sovereignty of." It won't let me; it instead adds a '2' to the title.

In the grand scheme of things, this isn't a big deal - I can either leave it or work around it by changing one of the titles. I do have a couple of questions, though.

1. Shouldn't L4 be able to distinguish between note filenames and clipping filenames?

2. For you note/clipping pros, does it sound like I'm using notes and clippings in the way they're intended to be used? I'm open to suggestions, etc.

Thanks for looking!

Michael,

Have you watched Mark Barnes videos on creating a sermon? He shows how he uses Clipping and Notes, somewhere in there. Most find that it is an excellent video series (and its not that long).

• Preparing a Sermon with Logos:
  • Part 1: Setting Up a Layout
  • Part 2: Making Notes
  • Part 3: Exegesis
  • Part 4: Sermon Outline

Unfortunately, clipping filenames have to be named differently than note filenames.
