!!! Creating a Shortcut to a named Layout

* You can create /Shortcuts/ to named Logos Layouts \\ (see the wiki [[Layouts >> Layouts]] page to learn how to save a named layout):

 #. Open the /Layouts/ menu.

 #. On the left side, under *Saved Layouts*, drag a named layout to the /shortcuts/ toolbar.

!!! Creating a Shortcut to anInternetLinkusingInternetExplorer

!!! Creating a Shortcut to LogosTools

* Creating a /Shortcut/ using Windows Internet Explorer is not quite as easy as using FireFox.

* You can create shortcuts to Logos' /tools/:

* There are 2 methods for doing this with IE. We will cover my preferred method here.

 #. Open the *Tools* menu.

  * This method we will create a new quick Favorite in IE on its Favorite bar, then we will delete it when done.

 #. Locate the tool and drag it to the /shortcuts/ toolbar.

  #. Open IE and navigate to the website that you want to create a /Shortcut/ to.

 #. If you click on the new shortcut Logos will open that tool.

  #. On IE's Favorite bar there is an icon of a gold star. Click on this star. \\ \\ {{$ media:Shortcut3a.png }} \\ \\

  #. IE creates a new Favorite just to the right of the gold star icon on the favorite bar (as shown below). \\ \\ {{$ media:Shortcut3b.png }} \\ \\

   * Now we will use this new favorite to add it to Logos toolbar.

  #. Now with Logos showing behind IE and Logos' toolbar visible, click on IE's new favorite, drag it to the Logos toolbar (to a blank area) and drop it there. \\ \\ {{$ media:Shortcut3e.png }} \\ \\

  #. Now you will see the new /Shortcut/ on Logos' toolbar as shown below.  \\  If you click on the /Shortcut/ it will open IE to the website that you linked to (providing that IE is your default browser). \\ \\ {{$ media:Shortcut2b.png }} \\ \\

   * Now we will delete the new favorite that we created in IE (since we don't need it any more and want to keep IE's favorite bar uncluttered).

  #. Now in IE, _right_ click on the new favorite that you added earlier.

  #. In the pop-up menu, click on *Delete*. (make sure that you are on the new favorite!) \\ \\ {{$ media:Shortcut3d.png }} \\ \\

  

 \\ \\ \\

 

!!! Creating a Shortcut to a named Layout

\\ \\

* You can create /Shortcuts/ to named Logos Layouts.

 * (see the wiki page [[Layouts >> Layouts]] to learn how to save a named Layout)

 #. On the right side of the Toolbar click on *Layouts*.

 #. In the drop down menu on the left side (Named Layouts), find the named layout that you want to create a /Shortcut/ to. Then click and drag that named layout to the Logos toolbar (in a blank area) and drop it there. \\ \\ {{$ media:Shortcut5a.png }} \\ \\

 #. Now you will see your new /Shortcut/ in the Logos toolbar.

 #. If you hover your mouse over the new /Shortcut/, Logos will display a large icon of the Layout. \\ \\ {{$ media:Shortcut5b.png }} \\ \\

 #. If you click on the new /Shortcut/ Logos will open that Layout.
