open exegetical guide at the same time as the passage guide

Adrian Dieleman

how do I make the exegetical guide open at the same time as the passage guide.

Logos 7 did that. I type in a verse or a passage and both the exegetical and passage guide would load. Now it doesn't.

Welcome, Adrian.

I type in a verse or a passage and both the exegetical and passage guide would load. Now it doesn't.

I think you are used to the GO box on the Home Page! To replicate in v8:-

Type a passage into the GO Box
Select the Layout > Passage Study Layout option
Open Exegetical Guide alongside Passage Guide
In Layouts menu, under Home Page Layouts

right-click Passage Study and
select "Replace with current layout"

Now you have a layout with both Guides when you enter a verse/passage!

So, as a latecomer to this thread, One has to do that every single time? There is no way to set it up, so that it come up automatically, from the "GO" button? Including things like a area for all the Top bibles I like to use; Highlighting; Info tool; Text Comparison; and a box for the Commentaries?

This is what it was like in Logos 7

Every week it is driving me crazy (re-)setting up layouts & workspace, or drawing from previous layouts and then getting them to sync up with this weeks passage.

I have been frustrated with Logos 8 because I have not been able to work with anywhere the efficiency of its predecessor. Every week I find myself fiddling around with layouts, and getting tools to appear where I want (or expected) them to be.

It would be marvelous & save me a lot of time just to punch in the verse and "GO"! to a report that will be 100% ready fro m me to use. Logos 7 came close to that.

Once you have set up the layout you want and followed the steps outlined by Dave you should get the behaviour you are looking for.

Are you not seeing this?

Thanks, that restored some of the functionality I was used to with Logos 7. Do you know any way to restore how Logos 7 used to make suggestions of pericopes?

You can't restore the behaviour of Logos 7 because it used the GO Box for references with pericopes and for topics, and Logos 8 has combined the functionality of the GO and Command boxes (so you can't readily distinguish a reference from a lookup command, or a command from a topic). The way to approximate the Logos 7 behaviour is:-

Study {Bible Reference} will suggest the Passage Study layout with pericope ranges if Reference intersects a Pericope e.g. Study Jn 3:16
Study {Topic} will suggest the Passage Study layout if Topic intersects a Pericope e.g. Study Salvation
