Top Tips of the Week for Logos/Verbum 9
Why doesn't Spirit have a Biblical Sense attached to it?
John Fidel said:I searched on the Greek Lemma: πνεῦμα with 379 results, however only 186 show with a Bible Sense with the others not tagged. Also, if I go to the Bible Sense Lexicon there is not entry for the Holy Spirit. Any reason why?
MJ. Smith said:The Bible Sense Lexicon does not tag proper nouns so places where the 3rd person of the Trinity is clearly meant it will not be tagged.
What determines type - notes vs. highlights?
Myke Harbuck said:I have quite a few notes with highlights and note text, yet they are tagged as highlighting.
Wouldn't they be a note once text is added to them?
Dave Hooton said:They remain as type created. So you have Notes with highlights, and Highlights with notes!
How do I open a new tab when I click on a Bible verse?
James Martez said:Is there any way to open a new tab with my default bible when clicking on a Bible reference instead of my main bible simply going there?
John Fidel said:The way I do it is to open a second bible tab and then select "send hyperlinks here" as shown below. The tab will have a target on in and all the references you click on will open in the second tab with the first tab (your preferred bible) remaining where you are studying.
Levi Durfey said:Another way is to drag the link to a panel and dropping it there to create a new tab with your default Bible.
How do I create Spanish wordlists?
John Baker said:Has anyone used non-English Bibles when creating vocabulary word lists in Logos? I have done this many times in English. However, when I tried to do the same thing in Spanish, none of my Spanish Bibles seemed accessible.
NB.Mick said:To expand on Dave's answer: creating a Word List in Logos will automatically populate it with internal glosses in the UI language. In other words, building a Word List from NA28 (or even an RI-enabled German language bible like Luther1984) while running the UI in English will yield English language glosses, whereas doing the same while running the UI in German will yield German language glosses - I tested that.
So switch your Logos to Spanish language and create the Word List document.
How do i export "Compare Pericopes" for entire book?
John Marino said:Is there a way to export an image for an entire book of the Bible? I'll be preaching through 1 Corinthians soon and I'd like to export this for the whole book and print it out for reference.
Dave Hooton said:1. Not the entire book. You'll have to experiment with different passage ranges.
Use Print as shown on Screen, and Print to PDF (which shows the background colors).
Screen shots may be more satisfactory as you can control the page length and better manage the passages.
How will these resources tie into L9?
John Fidel said:In the features section there are a number of "All the......" resources that are in development.. . . Can someone explain how these are best to be utilized in L9? I am trying to figure out how to tag them and then incorporate them into my studies.
They were built with Factbook in mind. Each of the articles should also be an entry that can be found in Factbook.
The resource features an article for every occurrence of whatever type the resource is focused on. Articles in the resource show up as entries in Factbook whose Key Article is an excerpt from the resource.
These Factbook pages can be related to other Factbook pages, and you can find links in the See Also section that represent this relationship. So, the Factbook page for "Jesus" and "Jesus Walks on Water" are linked to each other in their See Also section.
The existence the Factbook pages and the relationships between the pages does not require a license to the "All the * in the Bible" resources, but the Key Article and resource do require the license.
The datasets enable you to search your Bibles for instances of the things this data is tagging. For example, you could search for {Label Miracle WHERE Agent ~ <Person Paul>} to find all the Miracles where Paul was the agent of that miracle. Each dataset has its own distinct list of properties that can be searched for.
How do I get the full text of the note anchor to show?
John Bunker said:When creating a new note or adding an anchor, only the location of the Bible text shows. It used to show the full text until in my curiosity i unchecked "Show Full Anchored Text" in the three button menu on both the tab and the note, which of course removed the text. After i checked "Show Full Anchored Text" again, it still does not show the text, only the location.
Graham Criddle said:In general, anchor text is only shown if the notes have been created by selecting a word (some words) in the text, not if they have been created on a refernence.
Graham Criddle said:As Myke says, in this case only the reference is shown in the note anchor as the note is tied to the whole verse not to a particular word in the verse.
If you had created the note against the word mercy itself
then you would get text in the anchor field
