Function 3: General Set Up

In terms of Logos, it does not really have a supposed "help" file, this has made it difficult to go down the list of items as I do in the BibleWorks Blog. So in turn I have decided to change this blog in style to fit more of what I do with the software, and as I talk about it, hopefully I will learn more about how it operates. However the first thing that I need to talk about is how to set up the software. This is something that is very different from other software, most just have a general set up that you can use with limited movement. Not so with Logos, you can tell it what books to display how you want them displayed and where. Once you are done you can save this display to use again at a different time. What makes this even better is that this, the general set up really couldn't be easier. I will explain how I do my set up. Start by opening Logos at the home page go to go to the search box (not the command line at the very top) type in a passage any passage will do. Once there, you will see the passage guide and the exegetical guide on the top left of a long skinny window in Logos. There will be all kinds of things searching like crazy though all of your books in the passage guide. It will also have four boxes open up each with a book of some sort depending on what you have in your package or collection. From here you have the general layout, however, you can open other books by clicking on the library icon on top, and searching through your books, you will be able to double click on the icon by the book you would like to open. It will automatically place the window with one of the four that is already open. The nice feature here is that you can click on the tab of the book and drag it to the area you would like and make it larger or smaller and basically adjust how you want things displayed. Well, it is late so I best stop here, I will pick up from this point on the next post.
