Help!!! I cannot type Greek or Hebrew words in the search box of my logos 5
My logos version is 5.2 SR-4. My computer system is Microsoft Windows 8.1
I have followed the instruction about how to type Greek words in the search line, like "g: xxx", but the Greek alphabets didn't show up automatically. The words I typed are still English. What's wrong? Please help me solve the problem. Thanks a lot.

Thank Mr. Graham and Mick for your tips. Now I can find Greek words in the dropdown menu, as the attached image shows:
But I feel a bit disappointed, because I cannot literally type the Greek words but just the transliterated English. I remember that in the old version of Logos 3, the Greek input (typing) function is very good and easy to use. How come the Logos 5 canceled that function? This is really not convenient and comfortable for the user. Considering the serious and academic purpose of this Bible software, I think this function is essential and necessary. I truly hope the future version will restore the Greek typing function. May God bless the Logos team.

For most users, using the transliteration is a big plus instead of typing Greek. But you can easily type greek: switch your keyboard layout to EL to do so:
or use the free Logos tool Shibboleth and copy/paste over
Have joy in the Lord!

Another alternative is to download and install the Logos Biblical keyboards then type directly in Greek (or Hebrew) by switching keyboards. You can find the keyboards by simply typing "keyboards" in the search box on the Logos site. That way you don't need to copy and paste.

Hi George
From the last couple of posts I think this is what Jonathan has done - and it seems to be working well.
Just wanted to avoid confusion over this being another option.

Hi Jonathan - and welcome to the forums
In which box are you typing?
In the screenshot below I show "g:logos" in two places - the top one is in the Command Box, the second one is in a Search Panel.
As you can see, the second one results in a dropdown menu allowing me to select the Greek word I am looking for, the first one doesn't
Does this help at all?
If not, please provide some more details
