How do I customize the "Layout" for the Lectionary selection on the blue ribbon?

Paul Lund

I would much prefer to have the columns for "Favorites" and "Information" automatically show up when I select the Lectionary reading link on the blue ribbon.  Certainly this has been asked before, and answered, so if someone could direct me to a solution, it would be very much appreciatted.

You could create a Layout for yourself that has your preferred Lectionary in the middle, the Favorites tool on the Left, and the Information tool on the right. Optionally, you could also include your preferred Bible in the right-hand side of the middle of the screen and set it to "Send hyperlinks here" (on its panel menu). But the Lectionary will show your Bible text from your preferred Bible if you have selected that Bible in the dropdown at the top, so having the Bible window up too isn't really necessary unless you want to see your lectionary readings in context.

Scroll to the Title page of the lectionary, where you will see the "Today's Reading" link.

Then save this Layout with a name (e.g., "Lectionary Reading").

Now whenever you open this Layout it will have the tabs set up the way you want them. Just click on Today's Reading and it will jump you to the reading for the day. I don't know of a way to save the layout in such a way that it will automatically open up to the day's reading, so it does require this one tiny extra step, but it's pretty easy. Hope you like this solution!
