[B-Greek] Sending messages in Greek font

In L3 Original Languages edition there was (is, actually) an icon in the tray which you can use to change between Greek / Hebrew / Syriac and can display the keyboard.  This feature is not present in L4 (In L4 they have resorted to prefixing entry of Greek or Hebrew in the searches with an "h:" or a "g:" followed by a transliteration, but I refuse to use that method), but it is possible to download the keyboards with instructions on installing them in Windows languages options (http://www.logos.com/support/downloads/keyboards).  Follow the instructions in the PDF file included for their installation.  I use <lft alt-shft-1> for English, <lft alt-shft-2> for Greek, <lft alt-shft-3> for Hebrew and <lft alt-shft-4> for Syriac.  I have found that on my old Xp machine I can type in Word or WordPad or my email with these, but on my new laptop with Windows Vista it only works in Logos.

Hi everyone,

Could someone tell me whether there is a simple way to use
Logos 4 to type messages in Greek and Hebrew?

When I started out on my return to Greek, one of the things
that folk said I would need was a computer-based package.
I knew they were right (though it was not what I wanted to
hear), so I read the archives for comments on the packages
... and eventually bought the Logos 4 Original Languages
Pack together with the Stuttgart Electronic Study Bible and
BDAG.

And it terrifies me.  I have all this powerful software
sitting in my laptop and I don't know how to use it.  So
far I have just used it for reading the books in the library,
occasionally right-clicking on a word to look it up in the
dictionaries.

I feel sure that it must contain a way to type in Greek and
Hebrew, but I haven't found it yet.

Can anyone help?

Later,

Dr Owl
