Adding a reference note on windows logos app.

I for the life of me cannot figure out how to add a reference note to a word in Logos 7 on the Windows App.

I can add a reference note to a verse but not a part of the verse or a word.

I can add it on the IOS app.
Haven't checked 7 on my mac...

All the help on notes I can find is for older versions and none of that describes what I see in 7 in the right click context menu.

Hi Ron:

Welcome to your first post in the forums.

If you have Word specified in Text Selection (Tools-->Program Settings), right click on the word and make sure the very top item in the right panel of the context menu is selected. Then, on the left panel find your note file listed and choose "add note too (that note file).

If you have Smart specified in Text Selection, select the single word first, then right-click and choose the top item on the right, then same as above.

That just adds a selection note. IE to the current resource only. It does not add a reference Note. IE across all bibles.

In the same context menu, the only choice for a reference note is for the verse....

If you're needing to add a note to a word in the surface text, I don't think it would be possible for it to have a larger scope than the current word in that location. I don't think the surface text is tagged for that.

I don't know much about original languages, but my experimentation indicates that if you choose the root on the right, then add your note on the left, it will add the note to original language resources of the same testament where it appears.

Hypothetically, if you were somehow to add a note to a specific English word in a specific verse in a way that was to be accessible in more than one Bible, it still likely would not appear in all (English) Bibles due to translation differences.

If you attach a note to selected text normally in a Bible with reverse interlinear support, then you could turn on the Corresponding Notes and Highlights visual filter to allow those highlights to be visible in other Bibles with reverse interlinear support.

Ok I see how that works what I don't understand is this.

If I open ESV and NIV in the PC app. And I goto say Gen 1 on my ipad, add a reference note (you still have that choice in the newest IOS app) and add a note it automatically shows up within a few seconds on both the ESV and NIV on my desktop app.

Obviously I will have to work the app like it allows me to work it but I like not having to manage anything.

Having said that in the Windows app I see I can manage clutter by turning on and off filters.

On the iPad you are creating a "reference note" just as on Windows

Thanks everyone for walking me through this. I write software managing a team on a very big custom software system. I understand the difficulties of keeping this all working somewhat similar on different devices. My hair has turned gray and I have lost some but not near as much as many much younger... but I should have

The season I am stepping into finally using Logos with all of it's rich features this kind of feature is very important to that season.

God Bless !
