Building a short German dictionary as PB

Hello Dave

I get now the lexicon or more wordbook to work. 

Only the [[label >> Headword:link]] don't work. It seemed they worked one time by clicking on it but now nothing happens.

Thanks

Hello Dave

I have now made some changes to the docx. Now the pop-up disappeared. I have rebuild the index, but they don't appear. Could it be I only have to wait more, or is something brocken.

BTW I have done the heading above in a [[@Headword: ..]] So it appears in the search filed. I hoped the verse ref in the pop-up is then replaced with the actual Headings. But now the pop-up is gone, and the links don't work anymore. 

Thanks

I have encountered 2 issues with Logos

1. I had a warning of an uncommon font. I have no clue where this came from. I have select all and tried to convert them to New Times Roman. Multiple times. I can't fix it in Word.  I have copied the entire wordbook to a txt editor and put it back to Word. Not to say I had to rebuild all the font styles again. 

But I got it to work. 

2. I have taken another copy of the Word file and have deleted all until it worked. I had nearly all to delete until it worked. Only two lines. Docx Anhang. 

3. On your request I have taken another copy and deleted nearly all until I got it to work. Docx Fabian test 2. After some deleting and adding again I found out, if I have the last heading in

[[@Headword:Sodom]]{{~ Sodom }}

Bla bla: slddfsdfkljf sfkjskfdsdfksfj slfjskdfjsjsf slfjskfjsfj slfsjfjsjkfs 

Then it does's work. If I delete it it, the linking feature for all works. Very strange. 

Another thing I encountered is in the Anhang I have as location the actual source location. See arrow. Good. But in the other one it has the location as from the last Bible verse. See image in this thread. This is in my opinion not good. If I do an empty heading line to break the heading from above doesn't help.

In general I can say the linking feature is very difficile. If something not exactly as Logos want. All is inactive and if you click anyway on it the results are completely wrong. For example you click on a link to headword heaven it opens shows words to halleluja. I would love to have a better warning report.

Hello Dave

Many many thanks. I wasn't aware of the Styles > Clear Formatting. Just as remember to me Bereich Formatvorlagen > Formatierung löschen. 

I have seen somewhere in the wiki about the Stop Milestone, but it was not clear enough for me. Thanks for your very useful explanation.

Thanks again.

I'm so annoyed of this fragil feature...

I have now corrected a typo normal text. Just added a -. And now the full linking feature of this file is gone.

This is unusable as it is now. Please make them more robust.

Thanks.

Hello Dave

Sorry for the late response.

I have done the lexicon as you said. I have cleared all the formats. Then I have marked the Headwords as headings. I imported it and all worked fine. All links I have done was functioning. 

In between a Word update came out.

Then later I saw there is a mistake in the normal text. Not in the heading of Headword or links to the Headword. Just simply plain text of the lexicon. I added a dash. Not copy paste, simply typed. Saved it and I rebuild it. After the import the links aren't working anymore. 

I have only 1 Block text, 1 left angle text, 1 footnote, and the 4 headings. All is in Times new roman.

Always to close Logos and to open it drives me also crazy.

I have now again reduced the docx to the minimum.

So it don't work.

If I delete  either one of the two below. This part (which is now not visible)

or this part (which is now not visible)

Only the second link appear correct. But not the first one doesn't work either. 

If I delete both parts. Both links works.

I have no clue why. All I can say it is very frustrating.

I have only an appeal on Logos to make the linking feature more robust. 

Thanks

Hello Dave

Many thanks. Your explanation solved some issues. I guess they came as I have copied the text to another Word document and I had the automatic language recognizer on. 

I would love if Logos recognize a link to a headword which doesn't match the language and gives a warning than simply not work. It would be good if there is any content in the warnings. So for example the "Link to Headword XY is failed."

And if only this link doesn't work. Currently then all links are unusable. So to find which one is the bad one is hard to find.

But this helped me on the full Lexicon not. I have selected all and marked as German. After the import I have some warnings. 

[Warning] Bad character in string: 0x000A
[Warning] Bad character in string: 0x000A
[Warning] Bad character in string: 0x000A
[Warning] Bad character in string: 0x000A
[Warning] Bad character in string: 0x000A
[Warning] Bad character in string: 0x000A
[Warning]

I don't know if this is the reason the linking feature don't work. One is empty. I have no clue. An internet search doesn't help me which character this is to solve. I have also no clue where they are?

I would love if the linking still works. 

I imported it again and now the links works again. Strange. Foremost why, and why they may not work next time by import. A more robust with better reports would be great.

Thanks. 

Hello Dave 

Thanks. I talked about two files. One I have as full lexicon. And one I had copied from the first and reduced it to the point I posted in the forums. 

Currently I was able to have working links. 

Thanks, I appreciate your willingness and time to help me. I come back if I ran in a problem again.

Thanks for the Hints and Tips.
