Finding the Right Illustration
Here's a shortcut to help you locate just the right illustration for your lesson or sermon. First create a collection of all your sermon illustration resources. Choose Tools | Define Collections. Click New and name the collection Sermon Illustrations Books. Now add all of your illustration books to the collection. Some popular ones are 10,000 Sermon Illustrations, Webster's Dictionary of Quotations, and Nelson's Complete Books of Illustrations. Now when you need a story or quote open the Topic Browser from the Go menu. Set the In box to Sermon Illustration Books. Type a subject in the Find box like heaven. Click Search to see a list of related topics. From the list click a specific topic like heaven to see all the illustrations for that topic. Click on the illustrations one at a time until you find the right one.

I WAS USING A DIFFERENT PROGRAM BEFORE THIS AND WHEN I WOULD HOLD THE POITER OVER A WORD IT WOULD GIVE THE TENSE MOOD AND VOICE. THIS PROGRAM HAS THE SAME ASTERICK OVE THE WORD, BUT I CAN'T GET THE TENSE MOOD AND VOICE TO COME UP. HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS.
THANKS FOR YOU HELP.

I checked this out... under version 3.0 it is Tools-->Define Collections, rather than Tools-->Library Management-->Define Collections

Pete, parsing information is displayed in the lower left corner of the Libronix DLS window when you hover the mouse over a word in a morph-tagged text. The new Reverse Interlinear Bibles can be used this way, or you can show the morphology on one of the lines of the interlinear.
Donovan, good catch. I've updated the post with this change.
