making a report

Mike Davis

I'm sure this has been discussed but I can not find what I'm looking for in the forum.

I'm wanting to make a report on the info that I have pulled up under the search tab.

If I want to save that info & put it into Microsoft Word, how do I do that?

What I see under the search info is     Grid   Verses   Aligned   Analysis

I chose Aligned so now that I have all this info how do I save it into a report?

Thanks

Mike

Mike:

I am not sure you want to take all the information from a search and import it into MS Word.  There are two reasons I would refrain from doing this:

 

1. The report contains too much information - it most likely does not all pertain to your topic.  
2. The report only points to the starting point of information related to your topic.  The relevant information may be a sentence or two, or the relevant material may be several pages in length.

 

You most likely will want to cull through the search and collect the information most helpful to your topic.  Some would say do it with LOGOS using notes, favorites, etc.  Others, like myself would say it makes sense to extract the relevant and information as I find it.  I do this using MS OneNote - since I can print to OneNote directly using the newly released print functionality of LOGOS.  You could similarly print to a PDF page - and collect your information as a PDF document.  

I can think of two ways to collect information into MS Word - you could copy and paste the useful information.  You could also copy the location as a URL and paste this into MS Word - thus providing a link back to LOGOS for the information you want to use. 

A second read of your question suggests that you are doing a Bible search - and then aligning the results after completing the search.  The results can be "printed" into a RTF file that can be read and edited by MS Word - though each search will need to go into a separate RTF file.

These suggestions make use of my workflow - the MVPs may have other ideas that are less connected to one person's use of the software, than my comments are.
