DDE Link to Parsons QuickVerse and other Bible Software ------------------------------------------------------- Scrolling: NEBRL will scroll Seed Master, QuickVerse, and QuickVerse Lib- rary if the option "Scroll Bibles includes other Bible Software" is turned on in the DDE/DVI Panel of the Preferences dialog. Bible Jumps: NEBRL will jump to locations in Seed Master, QuickVerse, and QuickVerse Library if bible jumps are turned on in the DDE/DVI Panel of the Preferences dialog. Searching: Selecting the "Search Other Software..." option from the right mouse menu in NEBRL searches other Bible software programs in this order: QuickVerse, QuickVerse Library, Seed Master. If you have more than one of these applications running at the time the search is initiated, NEBRL will send its search command to the first application on the list. For example, if QuickVerse Library is listed in the Other Bible Software line in the DDE/DVI panel of the Preferences dialog in NEBRL, but QuickVerse is also running, NEBRL will send its search command to QuickVerse. To make NEBRL search QuickVerse Library instead of QuickVerse, close QuickVerse before running the search. To set up QuickVerse for Windows 4.0 to run with NEBRL: Open QuickVerse for Windows, select the Options menu, and choose Other applications... In the "QV Library" and "Dictionary" lines of this dialog, type the path and file name for Logos.exe. Scrolling: QuickVerse for Windows will scroll books in Logos if "Synchronize QuickVerse Library..." is turned on in the Other Applications dialog in QuickVerse for Windows. Bible Jumps: Same as scrolling. Searching: Highlight a word in QuickVerse for Windows, click the QuickVerse Library toolbar button or select the Search menu and choose "QuickVerse Library" to search for the selected word in NEBRL.

Searching: After selecting text. Either click the QuickVerse toolbar button or select the Search menu and choose QuickVerse to search NEBRL. To set up QuickVerse for Windows 3.0 to work with NEBRL: Follow the steps outlined for QuickVerse for Windows 4.0. Keep in mind that the QV Library option is not available so searching will be limited to an English Keylink search. Multiple Book Unlocking ----------------------- Multiple Book Unlocking, simply stated, is a method of unlocking several books and/or collections at a time. Previously you had to purchase one book or collection at a time, and thus it was quite inconvenient to purchase several books or collections at once. Now when using the Unlock Book and Collection Browser dialog, you may choose just one or several books and/or collections to unlock at once. Simply select your books and/or collections one at a time and then click on the Add button. It will be added to a growing list of items to unlock. When you have selected all of the items you want to unlock, click on the Unlock button. You will be asked to read your code to the salesperson just once instead of once per book and/or collection. The same is true when unlocking via the Internet. You will only have to enter one unlock code into the Unlock dialog instead of entering one for each book or collection to be unlocked. Standardized References (SRs) ----------------------------- In previous versions Bibles and commentaries could be linked and scrolled in parallel. However, there are many other types of books which were meant to be viewed in parallel using their own recognized organizational system. One such set of books is the Concordia Triglotta. Now you can link books such as the Concordia Triglotta and have the three books scroll together in parallel. Simply open the books that you want to scroll together, click on the links button on the book windows' toolbars, and set them all to the same link set. Standard Reference Hotspot Support ---------------------------------- Just as you can click on hotspots in books that take you to particular articles and/or verses, now there is also support to jump to particular locations specified by SRs. Some SRs specify a particular book, and some don't specify any book. Those that specify a book will jump to the appropriate SR location within that book only. Those that don't specify a book will behave according to the configuration in the Standard References panel in the Preferences dialog. Standard References panel in the Preferences Dialog --------------------------------------------------- The Standard References panel allows the user to configure the behavior for SR hotspots. In this panel is a list of all active SR schemes supported by Logos Library System. To configure the behavior of any scheme, either click on the scheme in the Schemes list box and then click Configure, or double-click on the scheme. There are two behaviors for SR hotspots: 1. Jump to the first book in the library that supports the scheme. 2. Jump to a particular book in the library. In the Configure SR Scheme Behavior dialog, you can choose which behavior your selected scheme will have. Startup panel in the Preferences Dialog --------------------------------------- The Startup panel in the Preferences dialog allows the user to configure just what Logos Library System should do when it starts up. There are four choices: 1. Do Nothing: Click on this button to have LLS do nothing on startup. 2. Load Books: Click on this button to have LLS load one or more books on startup. Click on Add to add another book or article in a book. Click on Delete to delete the selected book or article from the Startup Books list. 3. Load Workspace: Click on this button to load a workspace on startup. Select the desired workspace from the Workspace dropdown list. Turn on Autosave Workspace to automatically save the workspace upon quitting LLS. 4. Run Macro: Click on this button to run a macro on startup. Edit the startup macro in the Startup Macro edit control. Interlinear Books ----------------- Logos now supports Interlinear books such as the Interlinear version of the Nestle Aland 26th Edition Greek New Testament. To use Interlinear books, simply open them as you would any other book. To configure the interlinear display for the book, select Interlinear from the View menu. From this dialog you may configure what lines of data are displayed and in what order they are displayed. Improved Global Word List ------------------------- The Global Word List feature now only warns you of an out-of-date list when you have more books that it was built with, or if you now have newer versions of some of the books you already had. This means that if you sometimes run LLS with a CD in the drive and sometimes you don't, the Global Word List will no longer complain that the list is out of date since it can't find the books on the CD. The Global Word List now allows the merging of multiple CDs together. To merge the words of two CDs, do the following: 1) Run LLS with one CD in the drive. Build the list if necessary. 2) Exit LLS and run it again with the other CD in the drive. 3) When LLS warns you that the list is out-of-date, build it. It will now merge the words from the 2nd CD with the words of the 1st CD. 4) Repeat steps 1-3 for as many LLS-compatible CDs as you run with. IntelliMouse Support -------------------- NEBRL supports the Microsoft IntelliMouse on Windows 95. Placing the mouse cursor over a window and rolling the wheel will cause the window to scroll, even when you are in a dialog. Clicking the mouse wheel in a window turns on auto-scroll mode. The mouse cursor will change into a multi-directional cursor, indicating the directions in which you may now scroll. Moving the mouse in one of those directions causes the window to scroll in that direction. Clicking the mouse wheel again turns off auto-scroll mode. V. Known problems and ways to work around them. =========================================================================== Topic Browser not available Globally ------------------------------------ If the Topic Browser cannot be opened globally or is not available when no books are open, the Global Word List is out of date and needs to be rebuilt. To rebuild the Global Word List, open NEBRL, select the Tools menu and choose Rebuild Global Word List. Use All Wildcard Matches ------------------------ The search option Use All Wildcard Matches will only work if a Global Word List is available to NEBRL. If the Global Word List is available but not up to date, the Use All Wildcard Matches option will work, but the options presented will be limited to the words available in the available Global Word List. Installing NEBRL ---------------- If you are installing NEBRL using the Windows 3.1 operating system, the installer will attempt to restart Windows after the icon is created. Manually reboot the computer at this point to reset the system. After restarting the machine, launch Windows 3.1 and continue working. If the program seems to do nothing when the setup is run (CD is accessed, screen blinks and goes back to regular desktop), make sure all screensavers (such as "Slideshow") and other programs are shut down. Starting NEBRL -------------- If you have previously installed an earlier version of Logos Library System, the splash screen for that previous version might be replaced by a different splash screen. Printing -------- If you are printing an article that contains graphics (i.e. the NEBRL User's Guide), the graphics print at a reduced size rather than their full size as viewed on screen. The reduction is directly related to the resolution of your printer. For instance, a 600 dpi printer will print the graphics 200% smaller than a 300 dpi printer. Search Ranges and Bibles with Alternate Book Orders --------------------------------------------------- Using pre-defined Verse Ranges or typing a custom Verse Range that uses hyphens to indicate a range of books in the Verse Range field of the Search Dialog will not always produce expected results. NEBRL uses the book order of the King James Version of the Bible for pre-defined search ranges. Several Bibles use book orders different than the King James Version, including, but not limited to the Tanakh, the Septuaginta, and the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. If you are having difficulty expressing a range of books and finding correct results, try listing each book title individually in the Verse Range field. DVI and Windows 3.1x -------------------- If you receive an error while trying to insert a verse with DVI or DVI does not insert the selected verse into the selected document, check the FILES= setting in the file CONFIG.SYS. The value at the end of this line should be at least 20, preferably 30, for DVI to work properly in Windows 3.1x. DVI and Some Word Processors ---------------------------- Sometimes DVI is unable to properly paste the desired text from LLS into your word processor program. If you run DVI and find that nothing was pasted into your program, select Paste from the Edit menu of your word processor to complete the insertion. Viewing Citation Information in Word Processors ----------------------------------------------- For word processors that support Rich Text Format (such as Microsoft Word). citations are inserted as footnotes. To view them, you must view the footnotes in your document. You can do this in Microsoft Word, for example, by either selecting "Footnotes" from the Edit menu or by selecting "Page Layout" from the View menu. Jumps to Internet Sites and Windows 3.1x ---------------------------------------- A hyper-text link to Nelson's World Wide Web page is available from within NEBRL. Select the Help menu option "Go To http://www.NelsonWordDirect.com". For this to work when running NEBRL on Windows 3.1x, the Internet browsing application must already be running in the background. Boot Log -------- If you are experiencing problems starting NEBRL, please start NEBRL by running "LOGOS /B" from File Run: 1. From Program Manager, select the File menu. 2. From the File menu, select Run. 3. In the Run dialog's Command Line, type 'C:\LOGOS20\LOGOS.EXE /B'and click OK. After the error occurs, print C:\LOGOS20\BOOTLOG.LOG from Windows Write or other word processor (not Notepad). Please have this information available when you call Nelson Tech Support. If you are experiencing problems starting NEBRL while running Windows 95, start NEBRL from a Run command as follows: 1. Click on Start and then on Run. 2. On the Open line, type in 'C:\LOGOS20\LOGOS.EXE /B' and then click OK. After the error, find the file BOOTLOG.LOG in the LOGOS20 directory and double click on it. Take it to Wordpad, and print it out. Please have this information available when you call Nelson's Tech Support. Problems with Texts ------------------- If you find that the text you are using seems to have errors, please check the Logos web site to see if a newer version of the text has been posted for download. Revisions to texts may be compiled and posted to the web between standard CD releases. VI. Important Note About Searches ================================= Unfortunately, word proximity operators (WITHINWORD, BEFOREWORD, AFTERWORD) may yield spurious results in Hebrew and Greek searches. It is recommend that you verify any results in these types of searches against a second reference source. We apologize for this inconvenience. VII.
