I have Logos 6 and have a lot of books in my program. How can I mark a book so that when I've closed it out and come back to it I can continue reading where I left off?
Thanks,
Susan Murphy
Hi Susan,
Here are two ways to do what you want--bookmarks and favorites. Both are found in the Favorites panel found under Tools on the menu bar. The bookmarks are at the bottom of the Favorites panel.
To set a Bookmark, just use the key combination shown. I am on a Mac, if you are on Windows, it will be different, but you'll see that.
A Favorite is set by dragging the book/resource to the Favorites panel or by clicking the "Add" button or with the keyboard shortcut (either Command-D or Control-D).
EDIT: As you can see, I eschew Bookmarks and use Favorites. That's because Favorites are far more powerful, while Bookmarks are limited. You can find out more about Favorites here: https://wiki.logos.com/Favorites
Integ has shown you how to use Favorites (and that is a good method).
There are several ways that you can bookmark a book in Logos.Another way is to use the Bookmark Tool in Logos. See this wiki for steps: Bookmarks
Edit:
Another way is a bit more complicated, but i find it useful in Bibles.
i study with several different groups and have a variety of places that i read in the Bible (or other books). So keeping track with all those quickly exhausts the Bookmark Tool's 9 entries. So i have made Highlighting markers that i use. i simply select text in the book where i want to place one of my highlights and then mark it with one of my marker highlights. This does require that i know the approximate location for that highlight marker within the book that i want to find my place in. This is usually not a problem, i.e. i remember that i was teaching my grandkids out of the book of Acts and then open my Bible to Acts and scroll until i find my marker (KIDS) where i last left off.
I have been using Layouts for this.. I have one Layout I named "Currently Reading" where I save the book and page.. And then I have a few other layouts that I name the layout the same name as the book I am reading.. But this may not work for you.. I normally only read 1 or 2 books at a time so this works for me using Layouts(Without creating too many layouts)
