I would be grateful for any instructions (or a source on the web) about how to use unicode to reflect your Greek font in an electronic format, such as a word processor.

So for example, when you "initiate" unicode through the language toolbar (to use the Logos keyboard method) you can type in Greek in any number of fonts.
I'm using the fonts from Tyndale House.
Tyndale House:
There is no charge, and it fairly straightforward. In Windows, after installing, you can choose your language in a little box at the bottom of the toolbar, and then type according the the keyboard template that they supply.
It works pretty well: αβγδ אבגד
I typed those without having to do anything except change the language button. In MS Word, I made a macro so I don't even have to do that.
Thanks Fred, now then, just exactly how do I "initiate" unicode through the language toolbar (to use the Logos keyboard method)?So for example, when you "initiate" unicode through the language toolbar (to use the Logos keyboard method) you can type in Greek in any number of fonts.
I feel like a first grader.

Well, I'd love to create that Macro in MS Word for me. If it's not too much of a bother, do you have any instructions to offer?
Thanks,

David,
Do you have a little language indicator on your task bar? It would look like the attachment to this post. If you click on it, it should give you multiple options:
EN (English)
EL (Greek)
HE (Hebrew)
You can switch languages by selecting the language.

In this link you could follow the steps under "recording steps." Don't worry about "visual basic." http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HP051894201033.aspx
First you want to have your fonts installed. Then make sure you have a language choice mode somewhere on your deskbar or tool bar. If you click it, you get the options for "EN" (English), "EL" (Greek), and "HE" (Hebrew). Those will show up no matter what program you have open.
Depending upon which version of Word you have, there is a tab for allowing recording a macro. In Word 2007, it is under "Developer." When you click that, you get an option to record macros. Click that and it will ask you if you want to store as a button or keyboard, I usually choose keyboard and it asks what key strokes you want to trigger the macro, and then you start recording. While recording, you just perform the keystrokes or mouse clicks to do thing you want the macro to do and it records the strokes. When done, click the "Stop Recording" icon (usually it shows up like a miniature cassette recorder) and you have a macro.
So for example, to do hebrew, I name the key sequence (I chose Alt-H), then started recording. I clicked the language choice (default is EN for English) and other choices opened up. I clicked HE. Then stop recording.
It's really very simple once you try it a few times.
For my Hebrew macro, I set Alt-H. I switch back to English with Alt-E, and for Greek I use Alt-G.
Fred,Using Vic's instructions above will work fine. One other thing: once you start recording the Macro you should not only switch languages, but also fonts. You want to use the right font.
I would also record an "English" macro to get you back. But for that, don't switch fonts, but rather select "Normal" for the type of style text. That will get you back to the normal font for the document, whatever it happens to be.
I've also attached a ZIP of SBL Greek and SBL Hebrew fonts to our web server.
