Old Sermons Scanned Into Logos?

Is there some way to scan old sermons (not done in Logos), into Logos? I am wondering if I can scan, then add tags, etc., to make them easier to refer to.

I guess this question has a lot to do with scanning. Is it possible to scan anything into Logos and make it searchable?

    I don't know if the specialized Sermon Builder tool has or will get an import tool. However: The way to put your own material (beyond notes) into Logos is via the Personal Books tool. This works for any documents, including sermons. There's even special syntax to index sermons by location, date, audience, topical tags, bible text... However, this works best if the sermons are sitting in text processor format (e.g. MS Word).

    If by "scanning" you refer to using a physical scanner on some paper artifacts to create electronic pictures, then this may become rather unwieldy unless you can use some OCR functionality. But the tags and index information will still work if you put pictures into he Word-format file (but of course those pitures themselves won't be searchable).

    Does this help?

    This article should help

    Are you looking to scan physical pages in? Or something like Word documents from your computer?

    M.B.Mick and MJ.Smith - thank you for your replies and suggestions. Jonathan Bradley - I do my sermon in PowerPoint, then have Proclaim convert to Proclaim. So I have PowerPoint versions and Proclaim versions.
