trevakin Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Do any of you have a method of attaching sermon outlines to a text in Accordance? I was thinking it would be useful to have a tool sort of like the "Outlines of Bible Books" tool, but user-defined, so that I might go to Matthew 5:2, and find a conference message outline on that verse, and maybe one from church where it was Point one of the sermon, and I could scroll through the different outlines that I have taken notes on. I have attempted making a User Tool with some outlines, but I couldn't get the text to link to parts of the document. I was able to create a link for 1 John 5:6-9, but when I was in my text at 1 John 5:6, I couldn't amplify to it. So just wondering if any of you have attempted something like this and have experienced success. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Good question! A User Note works fine, provided the sermon only addresses a single verse or passage. Otherwise, I'd recommend using a User Tool and just inserting a Note at the verse reference(s) that a sermon is located at such-and-such a place or on such-and-such a Tool. Note that a User Tool can use a local link to point to a file on your local hard drive, say a file in your sermon folder (which can then be written with any word processor). From Accordance Help>User Tools>Create Links: A link to a file on the hard disk or another attached disk or drive is similar to a link in a browser such as: file:///Users/myname/Documents/pics/temple.tiff We are continuing to add features to our User Notes and Tools, so I trust this process will become easier as time goes by. Stay tuned! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Lawrence Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Dr. J, Thanks for the tip. I was able to successfully make a link to a PDF file of a scanned book. This is awesome. I tried it in a user note (where I would prefer to use the link) but evidently that is a future feature. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trevakin Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Thanks Dr. J. That should be helpful. I was wondering about how to get a .pdf file into Accordance earlier today even, and was searching the help. I have a syllabus that has a comprehensive outline of Colossians, and would love to be able to reference that directly from Accordance. I wonder if it would be possible to tag specifically to the individual pages for the verses I'm studying (the .pdf is a rather large and unruly document). Thanks again for your reply and interaction.
