What is Test and Version Comparisons?
The Package Comparison web page shows that some packages do not have "Text Comparison", "Version Comparison", "Syntax Search". I would like to know what these features do.
I have done some searches, but all I seem to be able to find is problems people have, etc etc and not a description of the actual features. Is it worth spending the extra money to go up to a package that includes these.
Is there a description etc of these features somewhere?

Hey Beth, Text comparison will take two Bible verses and display them side by side in selected Bible version and highlight the differences for you, helpful for seeing translation differences.
The Version Comparison will take multiple versions and make a graphical representation of how close or different the versions are from each other. Personally I don't find this feature very helpful.
Syntax Search is an advanced feature in Logos that allows users to search for syntactic construction in the Hebrew and Greek Bible. The databases that power this search can be helpful in some cases even if you don't know Greek and Hebrew, but they are most helpful to those who have studied the original languages.

Hi Beth - and welcome to the forums.
Please have a look at:
- http://wiki.logos.com/Text_Comparison
- http://wiki.logos.com/A_Strategy_for_Syntax_Search and http://wiki.logos.com/Setting_up_a_Syntax_Search (Please note that the first link has a pointer to some videos on syntax search)
"Version Comparison" is a feature in the Passage Guide which graphically shows how close different translations are to each other - for a discussion of this please see http://community.logos.com/forums/p/7917/62820.aspx
Hope this helps
Graham
