Setting up guides

It has been a while since I posted, so if I break a rule or something, please be patient with me. Recently my Logos program went berserk and deleted all my previous layouts. Started from scratch and redid the basic layout that I use and all seemed to be well. Many years ago, I watched a training video by one the logos users on how to create a "My Guide" layout. Have been using it for years. It's great for my purposes. Well, when I execute the "My Guide" it is not loading all the "prioritized" books. Example: Paul House work on O.T. Theology used to load any time I wanted to study from the O.T. now it doesn't. Tried the "prioritize" function in My Library, everything seemed correct. But , still doesn't show up. So, can someone direct me to a link that has the user training videos. Perhaps they are no longer available or moved, but I cant locate them. Thanks

A screenshot of your layout might help as well as stating how you "execute" it.

Thank you Dave Hooton. By "execute" I mean move the cursor over the icon for "my guide" and click it. As to a screen shot, I must admit that I have forgotten how to do that.

Perhaps a little further explanation is in order about "my guide". After watching one of those tutorials, that i referred to in the original post, and I might add that it has been several years since this occurred, I created the layout "my guide". It is basically a combining of the passage guide and exegetical guide into one. Saves having to switch back and forth so much. Like I said previously, it worked great for my purposes until the other day. Currently the problem is only with O.T. If I can find those users tutorials I think I can work my through it. Additionally, it was one of those tutorials that taught me how to prioritize books in the "passage guide" portion.

Again thanks,

Larry L Dix

Upon further investigation, I have discovered that my problem is limited to the Book of Esther. Clicked "my guide" icon and did a search of Ezra 7 and everything was as it should be.. Whether it is my custom guide or the standard Passage Guide, selections in the Book of Esther from the drop down menu have either a "D" or "GK with the passage selection. Those do not show all my prioritized books.Oh well, I can work around that for the time being.When I figure out how to upload a screen shot I will post it showing the problem I am having with Esther.

There are two books of Esther depending upon the translation Esther may have additions A, B, C, D, E, and F to the Hebrew text, or have Hebrew text Esther and Greek Esther. Logos verse mapping does all the conversion between the various reference systems for you. See Lexham Bible Dictionary: Additions to Esther
