Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10+ Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: L/V 10+ Tip of the Day #113 Context Menu: more about references esp. reference milestones - Logos Forums which was broken into two parts.

For an example of a journal I am using "9Marks Journal, 2011." and picking my selection from the Table of Contents.

  • Selection has the normal behavior
  • The second item is a Link that allows navigation but no search or notes function.

If one goes to the actual article and selects it's title, the Context Menu offers only Selection but with note and search options.

For an example of a poem, I used Hopkins, Gerard Manley. Hopkins. The Mystic Poets. Woodstock, VT: SkyLight Paths Publishing, 2004. Again only Selection is available, and with it Note and Search.

Fo an example of an image I used Aharoni, Yohanan, Michael Avi-Yonah, Anson F. Rainey, R. Steven Notley, and Ze’ev Safrai, eds. The Carta Bible Atlas. Fifth Edition. Jerusalem, Israel: Carta Jerusalem, 2011. In this case, one is presented with Image rather than Selection. The only options are to copy, save or print the image. No search or notes. Remember that many images have additional functions available through Amber rather than through Logos/Verbum directly.

This set of three posts cover most entries you will find above the first line in the tab side of the Context Menu:

The values illustrated are:

  • Selection
    • image
    • link
    • selection
  • Reference
    • book reference: Bible
    • book reference: versified non-Bible
    • day of year
    • headword
    • liturgical date
    • topic reference (and similar tags)

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
