Copy Bible

I have been using Logos for several years and am a big fan with nearly 6000 books. I am still frustrated by a little nit pic thing -- how many steps to copy a Bible verse.

I just looked up a verse I want in a Word document from the living. I'd like to be able to select it and hit ctrl c / alt tab / ctrl v, rather than opening copy Bible and changing the Bible translation.

Why doesn't this work? It should work just fine.

What happens when you try?

This is what I get:

3-4Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense, and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts.

Kenneth Nathaniel Taylor, The Living Bible, Paraphrased (Wheaton, IL: Tyndale House, 1997), Pr 24:3–4.

That's not bad. It only requires a slight emendation.

This is what I want:

Oration is similar to desired style; has open parenthesis before reference instead of version and paragraph break for each verse:

A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense.

Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.

(Proverbs 24:3–4, 2007:NLT)

Josh, I have a workaround that at least makes the Copy Bible Verses method a little quicker. It turns out that you can set up a Copy Verses Panel for a Bible Version and then drag it to favorites. Rename the favorite (e.g., "Copy KJV Bible Verses") and after that you can click on the favorite to instantly switch that setup. I am sorry it can't be quicker.

P.S. I also use Favorites to switch to different Searches quicker.
