How can I get the results of Search List to export via Copy Bible Verses?

I would love to be able to get the list of verses that result from a Bible Search to export via Copy Bible Verses so i can make use of the formatting options (especially Ms Word's paragraph styles). As it is, I export to Passage List, and then to Ms Word, and then convert the table to text and manually go through and make all the formatting changes. i guess I could write a Word macro to do it, but it would be really nice if there was a way to go direct to Copy Bible Verses? Anyone know if that is possible???

Correction - I don't have to export to Passage List; I can just export from Search List into Ms Word. But I still have the same formatting limitations.

Well, this is a kludge, but this will do the trick:

1) Export the search results to a Passage List

2) Clear all the Bible versions from the Resources box (click the X at the right) so that you get just the references

3) Select all (press Ctrl+A)

4) Copy (Ctrl+C)

5) Paste into Word (you've got just the references now, one to a line)

6) Do a Replace in Word to replace ^p (which matched paragraph marks) with ; (semi-colon) followed by a space character. This will squash all the references together in a single line (possibly wrapping to multiple lines) instead of in multiple paragraphs. E.g.:

Genesis 24:64; Leviticus 11:4; Deuteronomy 14:7; 1 Samuel 15:3; 2 Kings 8:9; Isaiah 60:6; Jeremiah 2:23; Zechariah 14:15; Matthew 19:24; Matthew 23:24; Mark 10:25; Luke 18:25

7) Select all of that text.

8) Copy

9) Go back to Logos and paste into the Copy Bible Verses Reference box.

This will get you all the (discontiguous) verses in CBV, which you can then copy in whatever format you want to go into Word.

Thanks so much Rosie!! I can work with that. Hopefully Logos will add this feature sometime, but for now your work-around is great!
