Logos 4: Link to Images from Notes

Today’s post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris, who has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos seminars, provides many training materials.

Several Logos users have recently asked me how to place images in the content area of a Note file. Currently, we can only type, copy–paste, or drag–drop text into the content section. We can, however, create a hyperlink to an image. Here’s how:

• Choose File | Notes.
• Name the untitled Notes document. (A)
• Click Full in the upper-right corner of the document (B) so that you can see both the title and content of the note.
• Click Add note (C) on the document’s toolbar.
• Name the Note. (D)
  
• Open a Logos resource to a page containing an image. (For example, type 1000 Bible Images in the Command box (E), and press the Enter key to open this book.)
• Choose the panel menu (F) on the resource.
• Click Copy location as: URL. (G) (Make sure to click URL.)
• Close this resource. (H)
• Click in the content box of the Note. (I)
• Type some text in the content box, such as click here for a great picture. (J)
  

• Select (highlight) the text you just typed. (A)
• Click the Hyperlink (chain links) icon (B) on the Note file’s formatting bar.
• Execute a paste inside the address box (C) that appears underneath the icon. (This paste places the location of the image in the box.)
• Press the Enter key to close the box.

• Click the new hyperlinked text (A) in the contentarea to jump to the image:
  • Windows: use Ctrl + click to follow the link.
  • Mac: use Cmd + click to follow the link.

Even though the image is not directly in the Note file, it is just a click away!
