Copying with citations

I just bought my first mac and downloaded Logos 4. I cannot for the life of me seem to figure out how to copy anything from logos to ipages and have the program automatically cite it with a foot note. I don't know if it is a pages issue or a logos issue.

Please someone help!

Welcome [:D]

(1) Highlight Bible text in Logos

(2) Copy - Edit Menu => Copy OR command+c (keyboard shortcut) OR right click => Copy

(3) Switch to Pages (click dock icon)

(4) Paste: Edit Menu => Paste OR command+v

Screen shot shows highlighted ESV verses that have been copied and pasted into Pages '09 document with footnotes and citation:

thanks for the reply!

That's what i've been doing, but still no luck. Are you opening pages within logos? is there something special I need to do inside of pages or logos to make this work?

I've already checked the system settings in logos to make sure citations are checked.

In Preferences there are two options to copy citations and footnotes. Make sure they are checked and I think that should get you going.

EDIT: oops, did not read your full reply. You tried that. Otherwise, I have no idea.

update:

I got it to copy the Bible verse citations but it won't copy the citation for commentaries and other book resources. Does logos for Mac just not do that?

It should copy for commentaries and other works as well. It does for me. Are you right clicking, then select "Selection" on the right side of the pop up menu, then "copy" from the left side. That should do it.

yeah, i'm doing that too. It takes the paragraph into pages, but just won't include the citation

Wonder which commentaries do not include citation ?

Can replicate issue - copy from UBS A Handbook on Exodus then paste does not include citation - in contrast copy from Pulpit Commentary then paste does include citation.

Living and learning - paste into Microsoft Word 2008, Open Office 3.2.1, and Open Office 3.3.0 Beta 1 has footnotes and citation while Pages '09 does not:

I have the same problem with Pages '08. It has never documented footnotes though they are selected in preferences.

If memory serves, this was identified as a problem with Pages, not Logos.

Thank you, Jack. I am downloading Open Office now.

I had the same problem on a PC, using both OpenOffice and MS Word 2003. However, I found that copying from a commentary resulted in no footnote if the number of characters (including spaces) was 50 or less. If the number was greater than 50, a footnote was included. Personally, I would prefer no limitation. But there you go.

I had never noticed that before. Thanks for the information.

I agree

My copy is much more than 50 characters, still no citation.

I'll keep digging in the forums as to how to get citations to work for non-Bible resources..

Jacques, This thread is almost 2 years old. You will probably get better results by creating a new thread.

Into which application are you attempting to paste text copied from Logos? Just tried Pages 08, and no footnote was created. However, in Word 2008, proper footnotes were created. I do not have the latest version of Pages, so I cannot tell if that one works or not.
