BUG: Embedded notes in Guides have no formatting options

I know this has been suggested in the past, however I think it should be considered a bug and treated as such. The embedded note sections in the BWS, Exegetical guide, and Passage guide has no fomatting options at all. It would be very helpful to at least have a basic set of options (Bold, Italics, Underline, Indentation, and Bullets) in these sections.

EDIT: I forgot font size in my list of basic options

You can use keyboard short cuts to accomplish these tasks.

Highlight your text and type the following...

Bold = CTRL + B

Italic = CTRL + i

Underline = CTRL + U

Grow Text = CTRL + [

Shrink text = CTRL + ]

You can also create your note in either a word processor or L4 Notes and cut and paste everything into the desired location. However I agree with you. We should have a toolbar to do this stuff inside the guide.

<EDIT> You can see the full list of Editor Keyboard Shortcuts in the help menu. Open the help menu, hit CTRL+F and type in "CTRL+B" That will take you straight to the list.

A very important one. there is no keyboard shortcut that can accomplish this. However it can be done from within the guide note section.

1. Copy the URL you want to use.

2. Paste it into the note file. Logos URL's will automattically be changed into hyperlinks.

3.place your cursor after the first letter of the url and type in the display name you want for the hyperlink.

4. Delete the rest of the URL so that only the display name is visible.

<EDIT> Scratch that. I thought they fixed this but as soon as you close the guide and re-open it the hyperlink disappears. I think you have to leave the link as the URL in order the the hyperlink to be saved. This is a very annoying bug because hyperlinks are time consuming to build.

Yes we can do it by copy/paste from a note or such (documented this some time back)

Adding a Hyperlink, Bold, etc inside a BWS guide note)

But if Logos is going to add Fred's suggestion, i would like hyperlinks added too.

I did not know those commands would work in the embedded notes sections. Thanks for filling me in.

I still think they should add a formatting tool bar.[;)]
