Logos 4 Tools Explorer

While using Explorer I tried to highlight and copy the verses in the "cross reference" section to make a "Passage list of the verses. Logos wouldn't allow me to do this any suggestions?

Bob,

No..it looks like you cannot select the cross refs from Explorer but here is a workaround.

1.) Create a new guide (name it "cross refs" )

choose only the. "cross reference" section and then close it.

2.) Open your cross ref guide and link it to your active window such as your bible.

3.) It appears to use the same resource as the Explorer "the TSK"

4.) Select the cross refs in the guide anytime you want using "CTRL + A" and then add them to your Passage list via the "from clipboard" option.

I know this doesn't fix the Explorer issue but it is a pretty viable work around.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the response but it didn't work for me because I don't have a clipboard option on my passage list.. I was able to get to the references I wanted. I did a CTRL+A to select the reference then I want to the Passage List and opened the add menu and it looks just like your but I doesn't have the clipboard option?

Any ideas about why the clipboard option is missing from the menu on my installation?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Bob,

it appears that the clipboard option is a current beta option.

There are two choices, run the beta, or wait until it comes out in the next release.

Sorry to have gotten your hopes up prematurely....

Here is how I did it

I
opened my favorite bible to the John 5:6
I
opened a passage List

[I could have renamed the passage list but this was a test]
I
opened the explorer just to check the scripture references
I
opened a passage guide for John 5:6

[I was not able to name the passage guide]
I
clicked on the arrow next to the passage in the box
in the
cross references section I did a select all.
Since
I didn’t have the “…clipboard” option I saw there was a “…add a file”
option so I copied the cross references into a word doc and saved it.
Then
from my passage list menu I chose “…add a file”. I opened the file I had
created and I have a Passage List for the cross references for

John 5:6

Hopefully in the future we will be
able to highlight the cross references in the “Explorer” and copy them into our
passage list.

Thanks again for your help!
