Can someone please tell me why the Kregel Charts are not able to be exported to Word and keep their original form?  I almost feel like the Kregel charts were a waste of money now. Step up your game, Faithlife!

    Worked fine for me.  I just copied and pasted with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V into Word.  Font, font format, and table all came over just fine.

    All I did extra was:

    (1) select the entire table from the top left corner of the table, and add "all borders" from the table design ribbon (about 2-3 seconds of time), and

    (2) adjusted the left and right indents of each column (about 30 seconds total).

    For me personally, I would hardly consider that something entailing Faithlife's lack of game or a waste of money.  Presumably you're not trying to copy and paste numerous tables at a time.  But even then, we're only talking a few extra minutes of adding "all borders" to each table and adjusting left and right indents for each column.

    I'm trying to add a picture but not sure if it'll come through for some reason...

    Does not work for me.

    Can you post screenshots showing their original form and how they appear when you export them?

  • I think this is what Karl is referring too. I used CTRL + C and CTRL + V to paste into Word, the GIF picks up from there:

    Granted, it's not perfect in formatting, but it is workable. Alternatively, you could try to print/export the pages of the chart you want. 

    P.S. Thanks for bringing these resources to my attention! I had no idea they existed and I'm always doing these kinds of charts myself... Today I was working on a chart comparing Peter Abelard's commentary on Romans to Thomas Schreiner's.

    You can skip steps 4 to 6 if in step 3 you open the HTML file in Word, because Word can open HTML files directly. You might want to Save As a Word document after that step, though.

    Programming-wise, and adding to David and Rosie, moving structure from one app to another is an iffy game across changing versions. An intermediate language that does a 'lock' seems the solution (here, HTML). In my cross-Bible-softwares, that's how I ship to Word to PBs. But most users would expect copying, not a programming language. Ergo the coders at Bellingham Central.
