Copying and pasting from Bible
So, I'm still finding changes in Logos 8 that are hard to work with. This morning it's copying and pasting. I'm editing a file in MS Word and need to copy a three word phrase from the HCSB. So, I open up Logos to the reference I need and highlight the phrase. When I right click the selection, Logos 8 automatically highlights the whole verse. Well, fine, the pop-up menu has an option to copy only the selection, so I choose that, but when I paste it into my document, I still get the entire verse along with a reference and some other stuff I don't need. My current solution is to forget using Logos. I went to the HCSB on the internet, found my reference, copied what I needed and I'm back in business.
Is this a bug or does Logos really think we want our Bible study program to do things like this? Or...am I doing something wrong that I need to change?

I don't see this - I get the results below
Can you post a screenshot showing exactly what you have selected in the context menu and what results you get when you copy?

This is because you have the verse reference selected on the right side of the popup menu. If you click on the selection (at the top of the right side), then it will select just the text you had selected.

Well, I'm going to have to do some more experimenting. (I did a lot of that earlier.) What Graham did looks like exactly what I did, but he got the right result. Andrew, I don't think that's what I did, but I'm going to check it out to see. Thanks for your responses, guys.
