Sermon Manager to store and tag sermons

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi,

I write my sermons for each Sunday in Word, and use Pages to preach from my iPad Pro in presenter mode. As a result of this workflow, I have not really used Sermon Builder at all, tending to simply use Logos searches and my library resources as part of my sermon writing process. I would like to continue with the workflow I use, as it works for me, but I would like to leverage some of the tagging and database features of Sermon Manager with my completed sermons. So as to remember what I preached in what churches, and the themes etc.

Is it possible for me to upload sermons in Word into Sermon Manager, and keep the, private, to tag them with keywords, theme, date, place preached etc in a way that would allow me to download the word document again at some point in the future following a search. I foolishly have been saving sermon Word docs by date, with no way of knowing theme or scripture without opening each one individually. I would like to use Logos Sermon Manager to index and sort my sermons, if that is a feature that it has.

I appreciate any advice from someone who uses Sermon Manager if it can be used in the way that I want, and maybe a link to any Logos training videos that might outline how to use it in this way, that I can refer to.

Blessings

Duncan

You can upload Word documents into Sermon Manager - guidance is given towards the bottom of this article which you could then tag.

This doesn't store the Word document in Logos so you wouldn't be able to download the Word doc again in the future. You could export - in Wor format - the sermon document you created during the import process so that would give you the content of the original Word document but the formatting would be different.

Yes, and you don't even need to do the uploads; you can simply have the tags, dates, etc. (metadata). All mine have the metadata but no text. Put a location in the 'private notes' or 'description' section of the metadata to find the sermon in Word on your HD.
