preacherwin Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Okay, for the record, Accordance is the best thing since sliced bread when it comes to doing word studies and exegesis as I prepare sermons and lectures. That being said, as pretty much any preacher and teacher, I have accumulated piles of bits of paper with notations, quotes, references to a book in my library, and illustrations that I use for teaching and preaching. Yet, at this point, I am beginning to realize that I will soon be buried in bits if I don't get them organized in the computer. Ideally, I would like to incorporate these quotations and notes within Accordance. Now I am a veteran to using User Notes to key things to a particular text. But what I was wondering was if there was a way that I could key user notes to a particular word (perhaps in one of the Lexicons) or to a particular concept. I am not sure if this is possible, but if it is, can someone give me some hints to do so? Thanks! Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I think you would be better off using a User Tool, and perhaps putting your key words in a heading line, so they would be found when you search for Titles. If development of Journler hadn't been terminated, I would have suggested thinking about using it instead of Accordance for organizing such things, as it makes good use of tags and such.

Lorinda H. M. Hoover Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Yeah, it is a bit of a problem. I'm staying with Journler on my current machine, as it still works well for me. But when I buy a new computer I'll have to find something else, as Journler is not (and now will never be) Snow Leopard compatible. I don't think Evernote would be a good replacement for my purposes, but I've heard good things about it. Lorinda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
