Old Time Worrd Search User - New to LOGOS
Finally getting the hang to some of Logos 8.
After nearly 15 years using Quickverse, then Word Search.
Question: Have learned how to format and create a Personal Book, but how to I make sure it can be used and accessed by others? When I built a small book just now on Ruth, it compiled with no errors. I clicked on "UPLOAD:" but where does it go? How can I locate online. Just wanted to make sure it is public for all to see and use. Where can I find this book on my Hard Drive?
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to Logos and the user forums!
Glad to have you here.

That's easy: you share the book and some information about it exactly here in this forum. It's not possible to share compiled PBs in Logos format among users, instead it works like this: You share the DOCX file from your word processor, a title image if you like, and give us instructions on how to compile (e.g. as a bible commentary or as a calendar devotional).
Of course this presupposes you made the book yourself or use Public Domain or otherwise freely available content. We refrain from sharing PBs that duplicate existing books in the Logos catalog.
Mark Johns said:I clicked on "UPLOAD:" but where does it go?
This means that your PB now sits on a Faithlife server. If you use another desktop, or replace your computer someday, it will automatically downlöoad onto that machine, just as the Logos/Verbum resources do that you own. No other user will be able to access or use this file, PBs are currently private in the sense that only you have a license to the book you built.
Have joy in the Lord!

OK. My book is just the beginning. It is only four(4) chapters. Each chapter is an outline of each chapter of Ruth, with files being named as follows:
Ruth Chapter One.docx
Ruth Chapter Two.docx
Ruth Chapter Three.docx
Ruth Chapter Four.docxHow do you attach all four files to a message or post so users can download?L

When in the Personal Book Editor, just add each file in order as I've listed them.
You can name it "Outlines on Ruth" or whatever you want to name it. These outlines
are by Mark Copeland at executableoutlines.com I formatted each file with about 4 levels of headings in Micorsoft Word. Saved each chapter as a separate .docx file.Question: I'm just a newbie at this, so don't laugh too hard. How do I make these files available, so anyone can use them in the Personal Book Editor? Tried to insert them in a POST and that didn't seem to work.

PS. I have been preaching for about 40 years. Got a lot of material I'd like to share.....

For others who may be interested in compiling their sermons or other material to be formatted for Logos Bible Software there is a document called "Logos Help" in the library. Look for assistance on Personal Books.
This link will open your library to the document and location of the help article. logosres:logos4help;hw=Personal_Books

Thanks Lynden, I will check it out.
I have already created a Commentary that currently covers 2nd Kings thru Revelation.
It is a very Extensive Commentary, but is in the format for e-Sword. Already over 10,200 users have downloaded it in the past year. Would love to convert it to the Logos Format.The bad thing is that it has taken me since Sept 11th, 2019 to create 2nd King thru Revelation.
It is about 100MB in size. It features Book Notes, Chapter Notes and Verse-by-Verse Notes.The source code is in .RTF format, via Microsoft Word. Any suggestions on how to easily convert to format for Logos Personal Books? Won't be hard to convert the .RTF code to Microsoft .docx, but will take a long time to insert all the Headings for the creation of a proper book in Logos.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I might also mention that the above commentary features all authors from the American Restoration Movement (1790 to 2020) Has authors such as David Lipscomb, JlW McGarvey, H. Leo Boles, N.B. Hardeman, Guy N. Woods, and Gus Nichols to name a few.
Thanks agaon.....

Mark: As a fellow Stone-Campbell guy, I look forward to seeing this. I have put up quite a few Restoration Movement resources on here through the years.

you use the paperclip icon of the forum editor - I think it allows files up to 5MB or such.

Well, I see the Paper Clip and am giving it a try. so here goes....
There you are NB.Mick. The four lines(links) above are the four files in my little Personal Book. In the Logos Personal Book Editor, just click on add a file and add each of them as listed above. They should compile without any errors. This represents my 1st attempt creating a personal book for Logos. Think I will try a project much larger, now that I think I have this part of Logos figured out/
Let me know if the links work. They look a little strange as i am typing this,so let me know.....

Tried typing a reply to you via my cell phone and it was doing so good.
Was in the doctor's office and the doctor came in the exam room and I sent the message
before I could finish it. So, I am re-sending it as follows:Calvin, thanks for the message and post. Have been preaching in the church of Christ for 40 yrs.

If you have any good ways to convert the commentary to Logos format, le me know. Would be willing to share the source code with you. It is in .rtf format and was created in Word and formatted for use with the e-Sword Program. I used the ToolTip Editor to compile it. Anyway, since the source code is nothing but ..rtf files created in Microsoft Word, shouldn't be hard to convert to .docx files. I'm not sure about all the formatting that was put into it. If one can successfully remove the formatted, then you should be able to add the correct Heading information for creating the proper Table of Contents for creation of a good Person Book. Like I said, let me know and I can supply you with the source code. Afraid that they will be too large to attach to a post on this forum.....

I'm not sure if Dropbox will still let you, but it used to be true that you could create a dropbox account, and upload a file, create a sharable link, and then you could post the link here to it.
As far as converting it to logos format, Logos uses .docx files - MS Word files - as the source to compile the books into Logos.
RTF should be able to be opened in Word, and then "save as" .docx.
You may or may not have some formatting to fix after the file conversion. Hard to say.L2 lvl4 (...) WORDsearch, all the way through L10,

Great. Anytime you need a sermon on a timely and pertinent subject, let me know. Give me the scripture and I can provide a short sermon or outline. Since I still preach 3 time a month, alllow me some time. if it's not in my files I'll see what I can do. My specialty is coming up with a sermon or devotional talk at the last moment......

Think I may do just that. Got several that I need to backup anyway. What better way than to do that
by creating a Personal Book of sermons.Will do that in the next few days.

A few years ago I wrote a macro to be used with Microsoft Word to convert books from e-Sword to Logos. See if that works for you: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/130215.aspx

If you get it converted, it would be awesome if you post it in the files forum to share

Logos.com has a number of sermon archives => https://www.logos.com/search?query=sermon%20archives&sortBy=Relevance&limit=60&page=1&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all so one thought is contacting Lexham Press about publishing a sermon archive => https://lexhampress.com/manuscript-submission

Thanks for that suggestion. Will check it out.
BTW, I am working on an outline archive for the Book of Acts.
Eventually it will have 60 outlines or more. The following iis
what I have done so far, if you want to Compile it into a Personal
Book. So far it compiles without any errors. As I add chapter(s),
I will upload updates to this area of the Forums.Hope you like it. Here are the files:
0272.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Introduction.docx
0882.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter One.docx
4718.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Two.docx
5023.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Three.docx
6644.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Four.docx
Just compile them into a personal Book in the order listed above. This will eventually be not only an outline archive, but also a
commentary on the Acts of the Apostles. Let me know how it works......0 -
Here is an update to the Outlines for Acts. Sorry, would have added more, but
since most of my books from WordSearch have successfully migrated to Logos
I have been spending too much time enjoying and learning more about Logos.
Miss my WordSearch, but love my Logos more and more each day!2260.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Introduction.docx
7217.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter One.docx
6740.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Two.docx
5850.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Three.docx
8547.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Four.docx
1854.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Five.docx
7268.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Six.docx
7762.ACTS OF THE APOSTLES-Acts Chapter Seven.docx
If you have already downloaded any of these, you only need to download what you don't have.
Compile them in the Personal Book Editor in the order as listed above.
They should compile as is, without any errors.-Mark-

Calvin,
You said you're a Stone-Campbell guy like me. How is the best way to locate
the resources you have put on here over the years?Also, I have all of the Gospel Advocate NT Commentaries. They are available
online at http://restorationslibrary.orgYou will also find that all of these commentaries are available online in the Bible
Module for the e-Sword Program. It is named "Old and New Testament Restoration Commentary."
It is named this because it now includes Complete and Extensive Commentary on 2nd Kings
thru the Book of Revelation. I have worked on it since September 2019 and have posted it
on the website at http://biblesupport.com Let me know if you want the .RTF source code, which
was initially created in WORD. Will be glad to share it with you. Shouldn't be hard to convert to
.docx format for use with Logos. Right now the module(s) comprise about 100 MB in size. There
are Four(4) files: 3 for the Old Testament, and 1 for the New Testament. There are thousands of
Bible Study Questions, plus the entire Gospel Advocate Commentaries are located withing the
New Testament Module.Later....

Thank for this link to the Restoration Library, Mark. At one time several of us were trying to get the College Press Textbook Series into Logos. It was put into "community pricing," however, it didn't fair too well. I have that complete set in paper and in e-Sword. I was able to get the Gospel Advocate in WS several years ago and it has been one of my favorite sets.
Thank you for the files that you've already provided and I'm looking forward to "many" more RM resources in the future.

Mark-
There are a couple of ways:
1. Search for my name in the search bar. Everything I have put up, questions and all will come up. Most of my RM materials are 2017 or before. I teach world religions at a local university and in recent years I have put up quite a few eastern religion resources.
2. Search by author "Alexander Campbell" "Barton W. Stone" "Moses Lard" "David Lipscomb", "R.H. Boll", "Leo Boles", etc.. That will bring up quite a few. There are too many other RM authors that I've put on here to either enumerate or for me to remember, but they're there. You could also try "Millennial Harbinger" but I'm not sure that that will bring many hits. I have converted hundreds of RM resources, but most of the more obscure or very brief ones I have not put up here because while we are definitely present here in the forums, RM pastors and scholars are a distinct minority.
May I have your email address? I would like to correspond with you about some of the source documents you mentioned, but until either of us put them up as .docx files, I presume they are of no/little interest to the rest of the list.
Mine is cal {dot} habig [at] gmail [dot] com. If you just drop me a direct message there with your email, I can ask my spe4cific questions.
I have served with the independent Christian Churches for 35+ years. In recent days with the disintegration/demise of most of the institutions that held these churches together (North American Christian Convention, Christian Standard, the continuing closure of preacher training schools, [Cincinnati Christian College and Seminary among the most prominent] etc.) I have been reading more and more churches of Christ materials,,, although mostly older stuff.
Thanks.

In rereading your posts I saw something I missed last time. We may not put up anything that is still under copyright without the author's express permission. i have quite a few of Mark Copelands outlines as well for my personal use, but since they are copyrighted we may not put them up here without Bro. Copelands express consent. When I have tried to get consent from contemporary writers, sometimes they give it and sometimes they don't. I've never contacted Bro. Copeland about putting his stuff here

There you are NB.Mick. The four lines(links) above are the four files in my little Personal Book.
Now that you have figured out how to add files to a post. So that this content is easy to find I suggest you create a new post in this thread titled something like "Mark John's notes on the book of Ruth" because a search for "Ruth" is unlikely to find this post.
