How do I find courses that I have not finished?

Alan Monroe said:

I would specifically like a facet that shows courses that I haven't started or completed.

Richard Labelle said:

1) open the library

2) under the Filter column at the left choose: Type - Courseware Media Collection

3) then choose: Reading Status

This may be the answer you're looking for i.e.:

- Unread (or not taken)

- Reading (or Started)

- Finished (or completed)

How do I view note metadata in the Note Detail Pane?

Sharon Hillam said:

Is there a way to display or get to the metadata of notes — more specifically, the created date — within the Notes Detail pane?

Dave Hooton said:

You can see modified date if you hover over the icon indicated below:

Note that I removed the Sidebar, so there are only two columns. If you want more detail about dates, go back to default view of the left hand column.

How do I get Copy Bible Verse to single space?

Jerry Bush said:

1) When I copy in any paragraph style, there are two spaces after every verse. I do not like this at all. Is there a way to get rid of that and only have one space after each verse?

Dave Hooton said:

Try this style

%NoRedLetter
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation
%UseBibleParagraphs

=Header
<p>[FullPassageRef] ([Version])</p>

=ForEachVerse
<p>[ChapterNum]:[VerseNum]<tab>[VerseText]</p>

How do I get my word pronunciation back?

xnman said:

How do I get it back again so that I can click on Interlinears and right click on a word and get my computer to pronounce it. 

NB.Mick said:

You don't even need the interlinear open, just a bible with reverse interlinear functionality. Either way, when you right-click, you need to select the lemma (which is symbolized by a broken circle that resembles BWS-output), then you'll see the pronounce option.

How do I sort notes by highlight type?

Bryce Hufford said:

Is there a way for me search my notes for any “red underline” highlights so I can get an easy listing of all scriptures that I have marked that deal with salvation?

Graham Criddle said:

If you want to find all occurrences of a highlight, you can search for them as below:

For options, please see https://wiki.logos.com/Finding_Highlighted_Text 

How do I limit a Visual Filter to a passage or book?

Vincent Gombert said:

is there any way to limit a visual filter to a chapter or book?

Graham Criddle said:

Yes - click All Passages in the Visual Filter and then just specify the range you want (the same approach works in Bible Searches)

How do I set my preferred Bible?

Pastor Michael Huffman said:

How do you set your preferred Bible in Logos 9? 

Graham Criddle said:

How do I find deleted items in my prayer list?

Wesley Crouch said:

How can I find the deleted prayers so I can restore them?

Levi Durfey said:

You should be able to go to https://documents.logos.com and find those deleted prayer lists--

Change the filters to "Prayer List" and "Deleted"

Goodrick/Kohlenberger...what resource is this?

Larry Quinlan said:

Many lexicons in Logos have a link to a GK resource (e.g. GK7731). Cursor hover identifies the GK as "Goodrick/Kohlenberger numbering system of the NIV Exhaustive Concordance."

Okay, so I can read the description as given above...but I can't find the resource on the Logos website.

Could someone please clarify what the GK resource actually is. Also, could you give a link to the page on Logos' website where it can be found?

HJ. van der Wal said:

The GK numbering system was first introduced in the NIV Exhaustive Concordance (edited by Edward W. Goodrick and John R. Kohlenberger III).

It is basically a modern alternative to the Strong's numbering system. There are several resources in Logos that use the GK numbers alongside the Strong's numbers, e.g. NIDOTTE or BDB.

Larry Quinlan said:

So, how can one use the GK links for something useful? As it stands right now in my library, the GK links simply open up Strong's. 

HJ. van der Wal said:

You have to make sure that BDB (or another lexicon that uses GK numbers) is above your highest prioritized Strong's lexicon:

This also applies to the TWOT numbers. Just promote TWOT above your favorite Strong's lexicon.

How do I get my layout to remember my Cited By preferences?

Tony Walker said:

I have set up the cited by tool how I like it. I thought it would remember my order. When I open various books and/or layouts it looks like it is changing to a 'default' order. Is that how it is supposed to work, or how can I make the tool always show the same list I have selected?

Andrew Batishko (Faithlife) said:

The configuration of the Cited By tool is saved with the layout. If you make changes, you need to make sure and update the layout.

Why can't I see the footnotes?

Gerald P. Swetsky said:

Tell me how to do it, Scott.

JT (alabama24) said:

I'm not Scott, but here you go: 

JT (alabama24) said:

For others who may see this later, I should point out that to see the footnotes at the bottom, you need to be in "1 column" view rather than "scrolling view" (aka columns = none). 

JT (alabama24) said:

For clarification: There are two "views": Continuous Scroll and Paged. Columns (including "auto") relate only to paged view. You can't "scroll" when in paged view... you "turn the pages." Switch between "none" and (any of the other choices) to see the difference.
