Help with creating custom Bible reading plan

I am beginning this year the 5 Day Bible Reading Program. It is a plan to read the Bible chronologically through in 1 year, but it adds a New Testament reading every day instead of leaving it to the end. And it runs for 5 days of the week, leaving 2 for catch-up. I want to get it into Logos so I can read on my computer, iPhone, etc. wherever I am.

I first tried "Generate a Reading Plan". I have converted the linked PDF into a Word document which has each day's reading on a line.

 I can copy that into the "Reference range" box in Logos, and then set readings for Mon-Fri to create a "5 Day Bible Reading Program". But Logos will not take each line and make it into a daily reading, it uses its own algorithm to break up the readings (by chapter) and Logos' calculation differs from the plan, so it messes it up.

I next tried "Custom Reading Plan". But I soon realized that I would have to type in each day's reading individually. Not too bad, I can just copy-paste each line from my Word document, I thought. But no. For each separate reading on each day I need to click "Type in a reference" and type it in. I cannot even type 1 reference "Gen 1-2", hit "return" and then type the next one "Ps 19". I need to move my fingers to the trackpad, click "Type reference" again before I can do that. Am I missing something? Or is this the only way I can get this plan into Logos?

Surely Logos could develop a way to paste a plan such that each new line constitutes a new day's reading? Or even a comma delimited file where each comma indicates a new day's reading? Am I missing something? Is there another way for me to get my plan into Logos more efficiently?
