BUG: Copy bible verses pasting into word font formatting issues

Jeff Meyer

I haven't tried any other font formatting except for italics so I'll comment on that.

I have a copy format in Logos defined like this:

---

%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation
%NoRedLetter
%ForEachVerseStyle = Logos Verse
%FooterStyle = Logos Footer

=ForEachVerse
^{[VerseNumInContext]}[VerseText]

=Footer
([FullPassageRef] [Version])

---

In Word 365, "Logos Verse" and "Logos Footer" are defined as styles based on Normal that are indented left and right and italicized.

However, when I paste verses from Logos into word using the "Copy and Paste" button in Logos, it is pasted with the right style, but the verse numbers and the entire footer are not italicised.

In order to get all the formatting like I want, I need to remove italics from the Word styles and add <i> and </i> to the Logos style. That kind of defeats the purpose of using Word styles, right?

Here is an example (from a Word file saved as HTML) of the results of copying a passage with that Logos style:

<p class="LogosVerse">And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet
who in its presence had done the signs by which he deceived those who had
received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two
were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. <span
class=LogosVerseChar>^{<span lang=EN style='font-style:normal'>21</span>}</span>And
the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was
sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.<span
class=LogosFooterChar><span style='font-style:normal'> (Revelation 19:20–21
ESV)</span></span> </p>

It looks very much like when there is anything other than "[VerseText]" in the "ForEachVerse" and the Footer Style formatting doesn't apply to "[FullPassageRef]" or "[Version]".

That also sort of defeats the purpose of using ForEachVerseStyle and FooterStyle.

I'm willing to say it's user error, so any help would be appreciated!

Copy and Paste keeps Source Formatting  e.g. small caps in Lord, but I've never had success specifying Word Styles. So it looks like you have to add the italics to CBV. 

If you choose to Copy and then Paste manually, Word provides options for Formatting but the results are disappointing.

With the style specification in CBV, Word used its default font with size 11. Without the style specifications, the verse in Word is size 12 whilst the footer is size 11.
