How to Import Word Lists Into Anki

If you're switching to Anki from the Flashcard app it's not always the most intuitive product. Here's a quick guide to get your word lists into Anki.

Create your word list in Logos and Print/Export to Excel
Delete any unnecessary columns so you have a column of lemma and a column of the corresponding definitions
Save the file as Unicode Text (.txt)
Close Excel (you won't be able to open and change the new file while it is still open)
Find that Unicode file and save it with UTF-8 encoding (see image below)
In Anki create a new deck or select the desk you want the word in and File -> Import.

You're too kind. On a similar note, I saw your request in another thread to format word list by frequency or other criteria. This can be done using the concordance tool.

Make your list of words via the concordance tool (for example you can put 30 as the bottom range for frequency)
Export to an Excel spreadsheet or other similar program
Select all the data in the spreadsheet and copy (CTRL + C)
In your word list at the top left, select "Add" and then "...clipboard"
You can then explore the merge options and use "Intersect" with a word list from Ephesians
