Logos now
Print/export of Logos now Concordance doesn't function and there is no possibility of copying the result of the searches. I see only "This panel supports export only" . I would love to see the standard function.
Blessings in Christ.

The format of the data is such that it makes sense that the best option to export its results is a spreadsheet, like Excel. You can print the spreadsheet however, if that's what you want. You can also do some editing before printing the spreadsheet, or copy the table to a word document or a PowerPoint presentation. Perhaps it is the format of the data that makes it difficult for Logos to render directly for printing? I don't know for sure.

Export is limited as shown below (concordance on the left and Excel on the right):
It does show counts of hits but doesn't provide the detail for any section.
As Francis points out I don't know how easy it would be to do this
What could be nice is the ability to save the results of any particular section as a Passage List

How would this be different from exporting to a passage list after doing the corresponding search (for instance, in your screenshot above <Person Jesus>)? It seems to me that the point of the concordance is to allow comparisons across different entities, not simply reproduce what other functionalities of Logos already do. Perhaps I am simply missing your point as to the way this could prove useful...?

Hi Francis

Totally fair question - and I wondered about that as well!
However at the moment there are some things you can do in the Concordance you can't do in other ways. For example, there is no "non-concordance search" I am familiar with that looks at the Biblical Entity "Man-made place"
(Bradley confirms at https://community.logos.com/forums/p/104335/721691.aspx#721691 that these are not currently supported)
If support were added to these in standard searches then I agree that having a separate export / save capability from the Concordance tool is of little value

I don't like exporting to Excel. Even that doesn't function well. Faithlife has thought well about the concordance which is good, but dealing with the result is not enjoyable. I hope they may improve it some time in the future,but for the moment as long as I cannot export it to my word document either by means of Passage list or copy it makes less sense to me to subscribe Logos now.
Blessings in Christ.

Is it important for your purposes whether what you import in Word is editable or would an image work? The Windows Snipping Tool allows one to take a snapshot of a screen or part of a screen and save it, email it, or paste it into other applications. The two limitations is that it is an image and so text in it cannot be edited and it can only take a snapshot of what is on the screen, so if the data you want requires scrolling, one snapshot cannot include it all. I know this is a step (or more) removed from what you are asking and my suggestion is not meant to displace yours. I am just wondering if it would enable you to do what you want, even if it's not ideal solution...

When I pull up the print/export for the concordance and select "Send to new document: Microsoft Excel", excel briefly flashes and then goes away, not showing anything more. It appears that excel is not receiving the information from Logos or is not opening it.
The Logos log files simply say "Error MicrosoftExcelUtility Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." at every instances of trying to send to to a new document or paste into open document. Saving as file works just fine though and I can open those spreadsheets in excel.
Blessings in Christ.
