Getting Started with Logos

* Learn the basics about [[Guides]]

* Learn about some of the [[documents]] that you can create in Logos

 

Look at Passage and Exegetical Guide sections for *your* bible study - can [[customize Passage and Exegetical Guides >> Customizing the Passage and Exegetical Guides]].  By default, Passage Guide includes several sections that retrieve information from internet.

 

*Tip:* Change Text Comparison link set to *Follow* for smoother scrolling in Bible.  Optionally close Text Comparison since you can highlight Bible verse(s) and press *F7* for a /pop-up/ comparison of Top 5 Bibles (on Mac, if "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard keys" in Keyboard preferences is unchecked, then *(fn)* key needs to be pressed with *F7*).

*Tip:* Use Settings in the *Word by Word* section of a custom Exegetical Guide to restrict the output for faster scrolling if your passage is a bible Chapter.  Optionally create a custom Guide with only *Word by Word* section when you want a detailed report for several verses or chapters.

*Tip:* Use [[customised Passage and Exegetical Guides >> Customizing the Passage and Exegetical Guides]] as it takes some time to populate all sections of a default Guide.

*Tip:* Collapse Guide sections for further speed improvements.

*Tip:* Use /Settings/ in the *Word by Word* section of a custom Exegetical Guide to restrict the output for faster scrolling if your passage is a bible Chapter.  Optionally create a custom Guide with only *Word by Word* section when you want a detailed report for several verses or chapters.

*Tip:* Windows Control key is equivalent to Command key on Mac.
