FREE Logos Manual for Download - Import as a Book into Logos

Hi Scott

Would be very interested in your Logos manual. Will you be posting the docx to this forum anytime soon.

Have a nice day.

Gerald

I presume the links are not live?

[Edit]: I see links are no longer live, pending approval.  

Hi Gerald and Gaolu.

Indeed, after hearing feedback from some forum members, I decided to remove the file download links -- until I checked in with leadership to make sure this would be appropriate.

I sent an email to the general forum contact email yesterday, as soon as I hear back I'll post here.

Sorry... I sometimes have a tendency to put the cart in front of the horse.

Grace & Peace,
Scott

Here are the links! I received such a supportive email from Logos, that I thought I'd share it:

 "Thank you for your email.  We are happy to help you with your question.  I ran this by Phil and he said that you are more than welcome to share the links. We appreciate you doing this work and sharing it with others to use.  You can post this information in the forums or contribute to our user wiki at https://wiki.logos.com/.  Again, thank you for doing all of this work and sharing your expertise with others.  Let us know if you need anything further."

Version for Uploading to Logos as a Personal Book (without Table of Contents)
NOTE: The Logos Personal Books Tool will auto populate a Table of Contents upon import.

Version for use Outside of Logos (with Table of Contents)
Non-Logos Version Manual (Microsoft Word .docx)
Non-Logos Version Manual (Portable File .pdf)

Thank you ...

Thanks a lot [Y]

My pleasure Floyd and Leo!

FYI, there was a major flaw in the WORD and PDF versions; they're corrupt...

I was unaware that two pages from VIEWING RESOURCES > Truncated Resource Tabs & Command Box Abbreviations kept duplicating themselves in the section INDUCTIVE BIBLE STUDY > PART A: OBSERVATION -- each time I constructed the Table of Contents.

So if you downloaded the LOGOS version, you are fine; if you downloaded the WORD or PDF version you should re-download (I fixed the bug).

Thanks, Scott, for the training material, and for waiting for the green light from FL!

Thanks a bunch.

My pleasure James; I hope it blesses you.

Yes..  Thank you very much..

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

You're most welcome folks! [H]

This is excellent, Scott! Thank you for putting so much of your time into this!

My one suggestion is that you put what version number of Logos this is for in the cover image and in the document text somewhere. Most of the features are probably present in Logos 6, 7, and 8, and some even as far back as Logos 4, but some might be only in newer versions, and some features have changed significantly even from 7 to 8.

Thanks so much for the manual. really appreciated.

Gerald

 My one suggestion is that you put what version number of Logos this is... 

Wow Rosie... I hadn't even thought of that; you're absolutely correct. The title page of the manual now has the "8" in it -- and here's a second version of the book cover.

Here's a thumbnail of what it looks like:

Thanks so much Rosie! Glad we caught this early on )

The original post still downloads the cover without the "8" - can the original link also point to the revised cover? I happened to see this post, so I knew to go hunting for this new cover - others may not be so lucky.

Thank You! This is very nice work. [Y]

Jesse 

Excellent work - thanks for your labour of love for the community!

Just a little FYI - I believe Miscellaneous on P47 (and in the ToC) is incorrectly spelt.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your comments Floyd, Jesse, and James.

Good catch James; my sMelling Checker isn't catching the headers. Fixed it (but didn't upload a new version of the manual for such a minor edit).

Floyd, I struggled with this question; I couldn't decide. BUT, because of your comment I went ahead and changed the cover on the post with all the download links (I used BUE v2-8w).

MANUAL (LOGOS VERSION) BOOK COVERS

Which is your favorite?

Great work Scott. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks.   One comment on updating the file: You have Delete old file then add new one.  I always add the new one and then delete the old one.  That way if I get distracted before I add the new file the old file name is still there to remind me what I was doing before I got distracted.  Have recently modified the directory structure of my PBB library and found it useful to have the old file name there when I added the new one.  Then Delete before Build.

[SOLVED] PROBLEMS REBUILDING A BOOK WITH THE LOGOS PERSONAL BOOKS TOOL

This has been a tricky stinker for me as well. I've found that I have to do 2 things to ensure that rebuilding a book goes well:
1) Be connected to the internet
2) Close and reopen Logos before rebuilding a Personal Book

Regarding the Renaming of the source files, an alternative method for you David, may be:
1) Rename the old file (e.g. "logos-manual-20190725.docx")
2) Then put the newly downloaded updated version (i.e. logos-manual.docx) in the same directory the past version was in
3) Now, "BUILD BOOK" (you won't need to RIGHT-CLICK DELETE previous versions, nor will you need to "ADD FILE...")

I'll add these steps right into the manual.

Thanks, but this points to L8 manual.  is it an updated L8 manual? Is there an update for L9? 

Hi Scott

Hi Gerald! Sorry for the trouble you're having. Perhaps try to:

Copy the link > Open a new browser tab > Paste the link > Enter

If that doesn't work, perhaps try the above, but in a private (incognito) window. If that doesn't work, please contact me and I'll just email the files to you.

Your Servant in Christ

 Thanks, but this points to L8 manual.  is it an updated L8 manual? Is there an update for L9? 

Hi Mark, To my knowledge, everything in the current manual should still be valid for Logos 9 (but, not everything will be valid for Logos 8 at this point). Also, although most of the manual is valid even if someone has the Free versions of Logos, there are some things in the manual -- that apply only to paid versions. I hope this is helpful.

 Excellent work - thanks for your labour of love for the community! Just a little FYI - I believe Miscellaneous on P47 (and in the ToC) is incorrectly spelt. Thanks again. 

This is excellent Scott!  Thank  you so much for creating this!  I wish I would have noticed this sooner!!

Hi Scott

That helps a lot.  Thanks for your work on this.

Thanks for your gracious comments Greg & Mark. I hope the manual is a blessing to you - and that it inspires deeper usage and learning of Logos.

 Thanks, but this points to L8 manual.  is it an updated L8 manual? Is there an update for L9? 

Mark: I think I now understand why you made this statement. On the 1st page of the manual, there was an image of the word "LOGOS 8 BIBLE" -- but it was cropped to simply say "LOGOS". "LOGOS" is what showed up in the Word and PDF versions of the manual, but when imported into Logos as a Personal Book, it seems that cropped areas of images 'uncrop'. Interesting little bug. So I fixed that and if you download the newest versions of the manuals and import into Logos, that "8 BIBLE" should no longer be there:

MAJOR UPDATE to LOGOS VERSION of the MANUAL

20210125 Edits (all 3 versions are updated -- but it affects the Logos Personal Book manual most significantly)

• CROSS REFERENCES – Rebuilt all cross-references (internal hyperlink) so cross-references now work in the Logos Version of the Manual
• HEADING COLORS – Changed all Headings from BLUE to BURGANDY to differentiate from the HYPERLINKS (which Logos auto converts to blue upon Personal Book import).
• TITLE PAGE LOGO – Changed Logo from “LOGOS 8” to “LOGOS”

Thank you for your efforts Scott. I see for the first time the thread. Would you please list it below the steps from the very beginning ,so that I may easily install and follow the steps ?

Hey Tes! I hope you find the manual to be helpful.

Download any of the 3 versions of the manual, and you'll find instructions to use the manual, in the beginning under the heading: "HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL" -- then, right at the end of that first section you'll see "Personal Books Tool" to learn how to import it into Logos (and how to manage future updated versions of the manual).

Blessings
Scott

Hi Harry,

I hope all is well. FYI, I never received any recommended corrections from you; just reaching out in case I missed something from you.

Thank you for your response , I have hoped that you would put the the steps here. I have tried to open a line ,but nothing has come out of it. Any thank you for your effort. 

Hey Tes, If you're having problems opening the .doc versions, I recommend opening the PDF version. I wasn't sure what you meant by "open a line" -- but if there's anything I can do to help, just let me know. Blessings.
