Changing the format of Bible reference
Is there any way to customize the format of the Bible book reference when a Bible verse is copied and pasted? Every time I copy a Bible verse, I have to change the reference format, which is tedious. The format that Logos uses does not conform to any standard format used by publishers. For example, the citation is "Ro…

Errors from Norton opening Logos and Verbum during update 41.0 Beta 2 (40.0.382)
Windows 11 machine Norton went haywire again as it did updating 41.0 Beta 1. At least it didn't quarantine any files this time.

I noticed my Grammarly icon popped up when I was writing a search, which was new and exciting. But it doesn't work in Notes, Sermon Builder, or Bible Study Builder.
