I can confirm this - and though I don't remember exactly, I think this was discussed in the forums before - and while this looks as a bug, maybe it's just a feature that wasn't developed to the end. EDIT: yes, it has been this way since Logos 4, found official confirmation from April 2011 /EDIT

From what I see (running 8.14 stable on Windows 10) the RI information, including Greek texts, transliterations, morph codes, Strongs and LN will show in the Print/Export dialog. I used selected text from Jn 21, but have no colorful visual filters applied, just b&w.

• It will actually print nicely, not only to paper, but also to a PDF, which can be opened in Word and looks great, but has the page as a picture which is unfortunate if one wants to work with it. Copy & paste does not work in Word for me, and only "somewhat okay" in the Acrobat reader or Sumatra PDF reader
• It will save the RI information to HTML (save as file: web page) which can be opened to Word, but has lost all formatting information, thus looks like garbage.
• It will save the RI information to an XPS document (a format meant for printing like PDF that comes with Windows but is rarely used). The Windows XPS viewer allows for neat copy & paste.
  Moreover, there are online converters from XPS to Word - I used https://online2pdf.com/convert-xps-to-word# which was leading in my Google results and it converted nicely to a Word document that was fully editable and had the RI information available in columns just as they should be. Great to work with (the footnote got somewhat garbled, but that's not in focus here I think), thus probably the best workaround when using Print/Export 
• It will lose the RI information and have only the English surface text when
• copying to clipboard (seen when subsequently pasting into Word or something else like Excel, a text editor or a web browser edit field - which actually is weird, see below),
• saving as RTF,
• saving as TXT,
• sending to Word, or
• pasting into Word.

However, when selecting text and using the copy command from the right-click menu, or simply Ctrl-C, the RI information is put into the clipboard and pastes nicely into Word, thus I'd suggest you disregard Print/Export and just copy over.

Word has its limitations, so export it to an PDF Printer e.g.Microsoft Print to PDF.
