Trying to make the switch from a ipad to the Surface Pro 6. I am having a tough time trying to figure out HOW to simply scroll a Logos document while in tablet mode. Instead of scrolling it selects text.

Bob, what do you mean by "tablet mode?" Are you referring to using the SP6 as a tablet without the keyboard attached or do you mean that you have implemented the tablet mode feature in Windows?
When using the SP6 as a tablet without the keyboard, I have been able to scroll a resource in a window by pressing down and holding my finger on the screen while swiping up and down. If you are using the pen to scroll, that could be a problem.
Bill,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, the keyboard is detached, device is being held in portrait mode and no, I am not using the pen.
What I am trying to scroll is a sermon document not a resource.
Having come from the Mac world (ipad and MacBook Air) I am rather disappointed in this Surface Pro 6 in regards to Logos 8. The tablet mode should work similar to the way it works on an ipad. I do not have the pulpit room to allow me to keep the keyboard connected so my sermon will scroll properly. There are many things to like by the tablet mode is NOT one of them! Why can't this be fixed?
The iPad works great for Logos reading, but not so great for more detailed Bible study. The Surface Pro works much better for study, but is not as smooth for reading. That is frustrating.
Actually, I think the problem with the Surface Pro is not the fault of the Surface Pro. It is Logos' fault for not making their software more touch friendly. Why they have not done so is difficult to comprehend. Other software has adapted well to touch technology. This is a deficiency with Logos.
Overall, I think Logos is the best Bible Software in the world. I have made a huge investment in Logos Bible Software over the last 25 years, and I will stay with it. But I see friends who are not so invested in the software switching to other programs because the interface works better, the books are cheaper, and they do not need all of Logos' "bells and whistles". I have had several friends who are former Logos customers tell me that in the past month.
