A-16A--Won't Copy and Paste

In the past, I've been able to right click on a selected text and hit copy, then paste into my Word doc. Since this upgrade, I can't do that. When I go to "paste" it, it simply gives me a "<" mark. 3364.Archive.zip

This will probably not make you feel any better, but it worked for me. Did you try if more than once? I have had copy failure before, but that was from the Windows version under Parallels. I just blamed that on Windows.

Same thing happens to me...

In my experience this happens sometimes when I am trying to copy either Greek or Hebrew but it isn't a problem in English. I mentioned this before in the forum and Tim said that he would file a bug for it.

My work around, for what it's worth, is

select the text that I want to copy
right click to bring up the menu and click copy to copy the selected text to the clipboard.
Then paste into Word.

It works for me. Hope it helps.

Every blessing

Unfortunately, that's what I've been doing all along. But here's the strange thing, your posts got me thinking and I tried copying out of other books. Not that I've tried every book or Bible in my library, but I'm able to copy/paste from every book except ESV Bible. I should have tried some alternative books earlier, but didn't think that would be an issue. Of course, I use ESV in my message prep, so hopefully that bug can get discovered and fixed.

Thank you, everyone, for your assistance.

Hi David

Just did a quick check here and found that ESV copies ok using Alan's method and by Cmd C Cmd V.

Looks like it might be particular to your set up. I hope the techs can spot something in your logs.

There are some known issues with pasting into Microsoft Word, and pasting footnotes into Pages does not currently work. We're working on both issues. In the meantime, if you have Word, but not Pages, you should be able to paste your text from Logos into TextEdit, and then copy it from there into Word.

Thanks for all of your help. I did a little bit more exploring and found a few things:

the issue seems to be with ESV and not with the other Bibles (at least that I've tried)
using the cmd c/v or right click and copy reference doesn't make a difference
ESV does paste into "Pages" fine--though without footnotes
when I try to paste into "Word," I only get the "<" sign
however, when "paste options" comes up in Word, if I choose "text only," the text does appear. "keep source formatting" or "match destination formatting" do not work, however--same "<" sign.

Hope that helps--thank you, everyone, for your responses

The same thing happens to me copy and pasting ESV into powerpoint for MAC. Maybe this is what we get for using a Microsoft program on MAC?
