I want to give my kids a hard copy of a Bible with my notes in it when I pass

Stephen A Williams

To do that, at a minimum, I need to be able to extract/export a copy of my notes, so I can give to someone to merge with a Bible edition and print. At this time you page you limit the export of my notes, so it would take so many export sessions, and stitching's together, to make me want to leave my favorite Bible app. I understand protecting IP, but in doing that you have captured my IP. Please remove page limit on export of my notes.

A second, maybe better idea, is you could offer to generate the hard copy from the Bible edition I select, with my notes, printed and bound and N copies generated for a price. I am willing to pay, and suspect many others would be also. Format basically the same as any Study Bible in print today. Maybe two stages. A price to generate the doc ready for hard copy. And secondly a price for printing, say 27 bound hard copies, for my family in cooperation or through the Bible translation copyright holder. Or even through a third party.

Third, I guess you had a way for me to share notes electronically, but it seems the community notes are sort of locked up in community's my kids wont go too. And I never could figure out a way to really transfer all my local notes to the community anyway (there was always some issue). Your app it too expensive for most of them, or at least the price is a barrier to entry. In addition to the printed copy, I would like to offer to them a Libronix (or whatever your format is called now), plug in called "Granddad's Notes", that they can import into their version of Logos to treat like any other commentary, for the one who are ready for this app. Again I am willing it pay for this, and suspect many others would be also. Maybe just a fee for conversion and delivery, and I distribute? You would have to make sure the format you generate in does not go obsolete. I would want the notes to be my legacy to them, so they can see and hear me as they discover the Word on their own. You could take this idea pretty far, in that I could see people, maybe even me, narrating passages, that the kids could listen too, as they read.

I like Microsoft products, and my wife likes Apple, and my kids have mostly Apple and some Android phones. Everybody has a book shelf for the hard copies, that seem to outlast the electronic gadgets.

I have also noticed the limitations on exporting notes. It would be nice to have them available out of Logos to give to family members.

If you had all of your notes in a Notebook (or a number of Notebooks), you could share those with your children and they would then see then when using a Bible in Logos.

And this capability, as far as I know, simply requires your children to have the free version of Logos. They would potentially need to purchase a Logos Bible so they have the same one you are using.

Might this help at all?

Thanks Graham for information on this option. I'm still interested in being able to print all my notes on paper copies to give away. I have been keeping notes for decades, since 1.6 days (or whenever "notes" was added), and I would like to organize them into a book format. Kind of like a mini commentary.

Just looking at this again, I'm not seeing a limit on how many notes can be exported from a single notebook.

Here I have selected all of the nearly 2,000 notes in a particular notebook and that gives a Print / Export option

And when I select that option I get this

Does that give you what you are looking for?

Thanks Graham. Following your steps worked! I think the key for me is following your steps exactly, and then highlighting all the notes before saving them. I never tried highlighting all the notes before. My largest note file, from Romans through Revelation, comes out to be 707 pages in Word using .5 margins. I tried the various methods of exporting, copying, saving and settled on saving the note as a Rich Text Format, opening it in Word, and then saving it as a .docx file. This make it nicely formatted and editable and could even be turned into a personal book if desired. This would also allow you to add your pages to print Bible and have it rebound for family. Again, thank you so much for the steps.

That is so encouraging to hear @Dan Cleghorn
