Can we please have a discussion on the updates that have taken place with HANDOUTS in the SERMON BUILDER this last year.
Previously, I would put together a Bible Study… All scriptures were “included in handout” along with some specific questions and maybe a couple fill in the blanks. The entire handout fit nicely on one page and was a huge time saver.
Previously, when “including the scriptures” into the handout it would just include the scripture REFERENCE, not the entire scripture, people would look them up in their bibles during the study. The entire reference was still in MY notes, but only the REFERENCE was in the handout… Perfect!!!
NOW, not only can you not do that, it’s not even an option. THEREFORE, my options are to have a handout that’s 3-5 pages long and includes the full text of all scriptures, or I can no longer have the full text in my personal preaching notes, or I have to spend enough time editing the handout that the feature has become pointless.
In the last year so many of these changes are so forced… I’m sure LOGOS thinks are great, but I don’t feel like the people making these changes understand how people use the software day after day after day. It feels like their attitude is, ‘hey, they’ll learn to adjust’…But in reality the feature just stops being used because the old school word document is faster, cleaner, and easier.
What happened to OPTIONS… being able to tailor the software to our needs? It’s the same with how we’re now forced to “enter scriptures” into sermons now with the “alt+enter”… can’t you give us options in the settings for these things?
