In a recent demonstration, we observed an intriguing feature where Logos would transform a specific verse or text into a colorful graphic of the primary words used. We cannot find that feature or anyone at Logos support that knows how to do it?
You're probably thinking of the "Interesting Words" section of the Passage Guide.
[;)] Yes! Thanks Todd, I was beginning to think I imagined the whole thing? No one at Logos had a clue what I was trying to describe! [:^)]

It's called a wordle.
I hope they eventually offer the option of a list format as they did with the topics feature.
What is the purpose of that section. All it does for me is highlight the selected word in the verse I am currently focussed on???
It shows every verse that word appears in in your passage. If you run the passage guide for more than one verse, it will highlight that word in all the relevant verses, like a mini-concordance for that passage.
It adds some color to the passage guide. Focus groups in the early stages of development thought it was more aesthetically pleasing.[;)]
Seriously, my understanding it is designed to provide a user with a list of words in a verse or passage the program has determined are important to the text. The words that are larger are considered by the program to be of higher priority that those in smaller font. I do not really use that feature very much, though it has occassionally caused me to focus on a word.
That is my understanding and if I am misrepresenting the intent or use of that feature I hope someone will point that out.
EDIT: it looks like Todd was posting at the same time I was. I did not realize that if you clicked on each word it would show each verse that word appears in. That may make it a little more usueful for me in the future. Thanks Todd
Yes...what Fred said, too.
I can see how this could be useful. Thanks!
What is the purpose of that section.
The intention of a wordle is to give an impression of relative frequency without falling into false hierarchy or statistics. Colors are meaningless but useful for visual interest - as are wordles that are in shapes. Clicking on words within a wordle usually take you somewhere but I think it could officially be a wordle without links.
