One of my favorite features of the Libronix Digital Library System is the ability to link from emails, Word documents, PDFs, blog posts, PowerPoint presentations, etc. to just about anything in Libronix. I've blogged about this feature before, so I won't go into the details here. If external linking is new to you, be sure to give the post a read.

The one downside to linking to Libronix from Microsoft Office applications like Word and PowerPoint is that you get that pesky security warning every time you click a Libronix link.

Since there is no security threat at all, there's nothing to worry about. You can just click "Yes" every time it pops up. But if you use external linking often, you may want to permanently disable it. It's not incredibly difficult to do, but it's not for the novice either. If you feel comfortable editing your registry, check out the appropriate support article for the details:

• How to Disable Hyperlink Warning Messages in 2007 Office Programs

After a few short steps, the warning messages will be gone for good. Ah, much better.

This doesn't have much to do with Logos Bible Software, but it's too good of a deal not to pass on to you.

Microsoft is again offering Office Ultimate 2007 for only $59.95! It retails at $679.95, so this is a savings of more than 91%.

Ultimate includes these 10 programs:

• Word 2007
• Excel 2007
• PowerPoint 2007
• Outlook 2007
• OneNote 2007
• Groove 2007
• Publisher 2007
• Access 2007
• InfoPath 2007
• Accounting Express 2008

That's only $6 per program!

There are two stipulations for qualifying:

1. You must have a .edu email address.
2. "You must be a student at a U.S. educational institution and must be actively enrolled in at least 0.5 course credit and be able to provide proof of enrollment upon request."

While there are a couple of good Office competitors out there, Office is still the standard and it integrates best with Logos (e.g., Bible reading schedules in Outlook, search results in Excel, and copying and pasting text with auto-citations into Word).

If you're a student and don't have Office, you should definitely give this a look.

Looks like starting September 8 you can also grab the upgrade to Vista Ultimate SP1 for only $64.95 (retails at $239.99).
