Arcing improvements

Am I the only one that finds it difficult to use the diagramming tool for Arcing? I picked up Biblearc's system almost immediately and frequently complete an arc of a given passage in 5-10 minutes, but after hours of frustration, I can't even get the first steps sorted in Logos (putting the text in a single-column resizable table, with each proposition clearly separated, making changes to the wording of a given translation when necessary, etc).

Are there any plans to simplify this process in future? Failing that, are there any good user guides on this?

    Nothing has changed with the sentence diagramming tool in quite some time. I don't know what changes / improvements are planned for the tool, or if any are planned. This is an old thread, but you may find it helpful

    I recently heard about this method through a John Piper Youtube video below and he highly recommends it. I went to www.biblearc.com and though it does seem to take some time to get the hang of it, it really does seem quite helpful, at least to me.There are about 44 videos that walk you through how to use the system.

    Is there anyway to implement arching in Logos? I did not find anything that comes close.

    You can use the sentence diagram tool in Logos to Arc (or trace the argument).  I have outlined this method here: http://bit.ly/VLqTVH.  You can also download Dr. Tom Schreiner's chapter on Arcing/Tracing here: http://bit.ly/VLrUx4.
