L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #273 Contents of Bible Word Study Guide

MJ. Smith

Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: BIBLE WORD STUDY: Definitions in Android App not Showing in Mac Version - Logos Forums

First, your Bible Word Study Guide should NOT look like mine. I have put the sections into alphabetic order for easy comparison. In actual practice, you want the sections to appear:

• in the order of your workflow (drag and drop the section headers to reorder them)
• without sections you don't use (see close option on section header at far right on hover)
• with the options you want (see Settings when you hover over the header)
• with some sections duplicated with different settings when useful (drop down Add menu shows sections that can be added in bold. They will remain bold when present if multiple copies are allowed)

Note that the available sections vary by language:

1. English (or other interface modern language) has the fewest options. It also shows both a Greek and a Hebrew/Aramaic translation wheel.
2. Hebrew
3. Greek is the only one with an LXX translation wheel - note this is Hebrew --> Greek
4. Show the Add menu with the sections that can appear multiple times.

This is the one guide that I recommend spending time with the different options, both in what appears where and in what translations are used. Have a tailored BWS for each language you actually use.
