(OT) Macro for Word

Jarred Edgecombe

Here's an easy one:

Morris Proctor showed us in one of his seminars how to build a macro that allows one to copy from the clipboard and have the text pasted into the existing document formatting. I changed computers and have tried to set up the macro again and have failed miserably. I thought there was a post on the forum somewhere that helped, but I can't find it. I have Word 2007.

PS: I'll be your best friend...if that helps.

Jarred, as I recall this may be more of a Word question than a Logos one. I also have Word 2007 (Office 2007). Try this:

• Click on Word's Start button (in the upper left corner of its window)
• At the very bottom of the popup window, click "Word Options"
• Choose "Advanced" from the left menu list
• In the right window, find the section labeled "Cut, copy, and paste"
• Look for "Pasting from other programs" and choose "Match Destination Formatting" from the drop-down list
• Click "Okay"

I have also tinkered with Logos 4's styles under the "Copy Bible Verses" tab. I have built one style that starts with the reference, then the verse, and skips a line between verses. The "paste" looks like this:

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:2 He was with God in the beginning.

John 1:3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Here's the "macro," or settings in my custom style:

%NoCharFormatting
%NoRedLetter
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation
=ForEachVerse
<p>
[FullVerseRef] [VerseText]</p>

If you are interested, I have another that italicizes the verses.

And as for the "friend" question: my birthday in June 3.  [:)]
