Export to Nota Bene

Nathan Parker

Can Logos add the ability to directly export or copy/paste send to Nota Bene? Right now I'll just export to RTF then open the documents in Nota Bene, but direct export to Nota Bene would even be more "luxurious". I'm moving to Nota Bene as my default academic word processor, and that tight integration would be beautiful.

Later this year, I am going to shoot a screencast showing how to integrate Logos and Nota Bene into a workflow for academic writing. I've picked up a few good tricks that will be beneficial.

Thanks!

I normally discourage external interfaces because of their ongoing maintenance cost but this is one that has enough marketing advantages I second your suggestion ... P.S. Why isn't this in the Suggestions forum or at least have the word suggestion in the title?

Here's some uservoice suggestions you might want to consider adding support to:

@MJ I also agree that with most word processors, unless they're a widely used "standard" (such as Word), it's better just to export to a common file format (such as RTF, and currently with Nota Bene, I will probably export any Logos documents as RTF when importing into NB). I agree though when it comes to NB, they're heavily targeting it for academics and to Logos and Bible software users in general and trying to swing Bible software users into using their word processor over Word (and it worked for me once I really took the time to see how powerful it was) that an export to Nota Bene option would be highly beneficial. Those still on the fence about NB might perk up a little more knowing there's a direct export path in Logos, and those already switched to NB for academic writing would certainly welcome the extra convenience.

As for why this isn't in the suggestions group, the short answer is I should have definitely placed it there. The long answer is I've been running on adrenaline for way too long now and finally getting worn out and not thinking through everything I'm doing. :-) I seriously need to take a one day vacation into the mountains away from my technology and just getaway from it all so I can refresh myself.

@Andrew Sounds good about the links. Will do for sure.
