How to save modifications made to a slide in the Sermon Builder - (EDITED TITLE for clarity)

Hey guys, thanks for being gracious with me: I searched the forum but didn't find my needle in the haystack... I trust that some will take the time to help me and I am thankful already.

I've used the sermon builder once and I think I will like it! A few questions:

1) Let's say I preach a three point sermon. I like to keep the current point on the slide while I project different bible texts. Ex.: If my first point in my sermon on the Holy Spirit is " I. The HS is a person" , I would like to see that on every slide on which I put a biblical text and not just on the one slide. Any thoughts on how to do it?

2) I work in French. Does anyone know if there's a way to use the French quotation marks (« ») instead of English ones (" ")?

3) When a verse starts midsentence on a slide, how is it possible to add " [...] " to show that it started on the previous verse? I tried to go in the slide (right click... modify...) but nothing I change there is saved.

Thanks!

Sylvio,

Thanks for reaching out and I'm glad you've decided to use Sermon Builder. We will help as much as we can and we have so many kind users on this forum too that are very willing to assist as well. To address your questions...

1) Once you have created a Biblical text slide, you can go into the slide by clicking "Edit" on the slide and put the information in the "Body Text" area. However, I will admit that the ability to edit the slides in this area is not nearly as robust as what can be done through Proclaim. If you're not yet familiar with Proclaim, I recommend you check it out... https://faithlife.com/products/proclaim. You have the ability to send your sermons from Logos to Proclaim for further slide editing along with many other presentation tools.

2) I'm not sure what device you're on. However, on my Mac keyboard, I can push the "Option/Alt button" and then while holding that down, click on the "\" button. When doing this, it creates the « guillemet. Do perform the » guillemet, you can press and hold on "Shift" and "Option/Alt" while then clicking the "\" button. If you have a Windows device, while I can't personally verify this, I read online that the following might work...

To type the french guillemets on-the-fly, use Alt+174 for « and Alt+175 for ». The 174 and 175 needto be typed on the numpad and in this case is not prefixed by a zero (e.g. 0).

3) I typed in "Eph 1:19" and pressed "Enter" to produce a scripture block and then that of course creates the scripture slide too. From there, I clicked on the "Edit text" box and then placed the "..." at the beginning of that text. My slide then automatically updated with these added characters.

Hopefully this helps, but please feel free to ask more questions if need be.

Austin,

I'd rather keep the English quote marks rather than type in codes... :-)

I don't know how you edit the content of a slide, but, when I do, I see the change in that window, but no "Save" button or anything like that. So when I close the window, it's as if nothing happened.

After making an update within the "Body Text" area, click on the "Update Sermon" button as seen in the screenshot...

I have posted my quotation mark question in a seperate post. I forgot an obvious rule that should be observed in forums like these: one question per post with a good descriptive title.

I'm curious though if you're on a PC or Mac? I would need to do more testing on a PC but for Mac, it's a two button click to get « which is the same amount of buttons it takes to get ". Granted, the » takes a three button click on the Mac though.

Austin, I'm using a PC. It might be because my OS is in English. I'm doing the same "two buttons" to write my question marks in Logos than I use everywhere else, but they come out in English intead of in French.
