Citation styles not working in Win7-64bit

On my laptop, running Win7 32bit, the citation styles seem to work. On the desktop machine, Win7 64 bit, the citation styles do not work.What I mean by this is that if I select text and right click on the selection, then select Copy [passage], then paste to Word or anything, it simply copies the text with no citation. I usually use the APA Citation format. But, nothing changes on any of them...

Has this been observed by anyone else? Is there something I may doing wrong on the desktop?

On your desktop, is "Copy Citations" marked "Yes"? To check go to Tools > Settings > Program settings

I don't have Word, but I do have Win7 64bit. All the info copies into WordPerfect, and even into Notepad. If I remember right, in Word, the citation information pastes to an end note (or maybe a footnote). Do you have any settings in Word that would hide or disable either of those, or a setting that controls what copy/paste does that might interfere (like I said, I don't use Word, so I really don't know)?

Richard:

I have tried pasting into Word, WordPad, Outlook... the text will paste and the formatting from L4, but no citation style. And, that brings up another thing. I believe it should also paste the foot notes into Word. And, it does not.

I am assuming the main difference is that I am running Win7 64 on the desktop and Win7 32 on the laptop. Maybe it is something else...

Works for me, x64 and Word 2010. I copy being sure "Selection" is picked on the right column in Logos. When I past, if I do a right-click, I have three choices for how it is pasted. The first two put the Citation in as part of the footnotes, the third (text only) just appends it at the end of the selection and there are not footnotes. If you think a screen shot will help let me know.

I am using Win7 64 bit on my desktop and laptop with no problems. I had a 32 bit laptop until my wife gave me my new one on Christmas and synching with the two or footnote problems never was a problem.

You are correct that in Word it should give you a footnote. In Word 2010 you can select it to be either at the end of the page or directly below the text.

How interesting... That is it. If I copy with 'Selection', it works.

If I copy with 'Reference' selected, it does not. I do not have my laptop with me, but I really think that it works for me both ways. Perhaps not.

Ok, I can give you the why with this extra bit of info.

When you copy the verse from the "Reference" section of the right click it uses your most recently used Copy Bible Verses Style. A CPV style can have this little bit of syntax "%NoCitation" which prevents the copying of a citation even if the main program setting is set to no. If you use a CPV style without that bit of code you can get citations back with the Reference part of the right click menu.

How can I know if this code is in the copy or not?

Open the CPV tool, right click on the style you want to know about and choose Edit style

You'll see it at the top of the code

Thanks so much! I totally forgot about this setting.
