Additional Actions for importing verses into Microsoft Word

I upgraded to Logos 7 today, and now the feature that allowed me to import Bible passages from Microsoft Word no longer works. (It used to be called Smart Tags, but now Microsoft calls it Additional Actions). In Word, in the Autocorrect settings, you can check "Enable Additional Actions on Right Click Menu" and one of the options is "Logos Bible Software (Bible References)." I have that box checked so that in a Word document I can right click on a Bible reference, then select "Additional Actions," and one of the options was to replace the reference with the Bible passage. That worked until I did the Logos 7 upgrade, and now it no longer works.

Is there any way to make this work with Logos 7?

Hi Darrell, I just tried to do this with MS Word and had no problem. Quick question...do you have Logos 7 open when trying to import the Bible passage(s) into MS Word? I think that was, at one time, a prerequisite for the Smart Tags to work...I have always made sure that I have Logos running in the background.

Yes, it's open. I have everything set the same as it was before I did the upgrade.

I am having the same issue. Logos support was no help. Please let me know if you get it figured out.

These instructions did not help me.

I had the same issue. Even the copy and paste option from Copy Bible Verses was not communicating with Word. I tried all sorts of stuff. Eventually I decided to just restart my computer. When I did this, Logos did another update and then it was working fine.

What version of Word ?

Apologies since can replace with passage in 64 bit Word 2010 from Logos 7.0.0.0074 on Windows 10, but did encounter a space being needed between book abbreviation and verse number for additional action to work in Word.

Using Powershell to fix Smart Tags

Logos 6 and higher are 64-bit programs so you will experience problems if you recently upgraded from 32-bit Logos 4 or Logos 5 on a 64-bit Windows system.
You may also experience problems after upgrading to a higher version e.g. from v7 to v8.

On most Windows versions, PowerShell comes with script execution disabled by default, so you should set the PowerShell execution policy to allow script execution:

Run PowerShell as Administrator (Windows+S key, type PowerShell, right-click on Windows PowerShell in the list and choose Run as administrator.
In the PowerShell window, type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned <Enter>. Type Y <Enter> to make the change.

Run the Powershell script:

Download the RegisterSmartTags.ps1 script from http://downloads.logoscdn.com/LBS6/Support/RegisterSmartTags.ps1.
In Windows Explorer, find the script in your downloads folder (e.g. C:\Users\Dave\Downloads), right-click on the script and choose Run with PowerShell. Since the script is signed by Logos Bible Software, choose Open from the Open File – Security Warning dialog, if displayed.
Note: if you do not see Run with PowerShell in the context menu, open a PowerShell window as described below under Verbum and Noet but run the script without any switches i.e. type .\RegisterSmartTags.ps1 <Enter>
The script calls RegSvr32.exe to register the Logos Smart Tags dll, L4SmrtTg.dll, which should display a RegSvr32 dialog message similar to, “DllRegisterServer in C:\Users\Dave\AppData\Local\Logos\System\L4SmrtTg.dll succeeded.”, click OK.
The PowerShell window should list details about registering, ending with the message “Finished successfully. Hit a key to exit...”.
Logos Smart Tags for 32-bit Office should now be registered.
If you see an error message, such as “Failed to...”, please create a bug thread in the appropriate forum e.g. Logos 8.
