TNIV > no space between verse numbers and text

In the TNIV, the verse numbers are butted up against the text, with no space between. I don't know if other translations are like that. Most seem to include a space. When I use copy Bible verses with TNIV, the result also is no spaces. I guess that is consistent, but is there any way to force a space after the verse number?

5Then Jacob left Beersheba, and Israel’s sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to transport him. 6So Jacob and all his offspring went to Egypt, taking with them their livestock and the possessions they had acquired in Canaan. 7Jacob brought with him to Egypt his sons and grandsons and his daughters and granddaughters—all his offspring. (Genesis 46)

The verse numbers are supposed to be superscripted, and thus set off from the rest of the text. If you paste into Word, make sure you are using "Keep Source Formatting" to maintain the superscripts. If you're pasting into a Note in Logos, make sure you are using the Default font. Some of the other fonts don't support superscripting and subscripting.

You can also insert a space between the verse number and the text if you use Copy Bible Verses. Just make sure the space is explicitly inserted in the CBV style that you use. For example:

=ForEachVerse
<sup>[VerseNum]</sup> [VerseText]

(Notice the space between the superscripted VerseNum and the VerseText; it's hard to see, but if you cursor through the text with the arrow keys you can tell.)

Thanks. Any idea why I get duplicated verse numbers with the above code which I copied from your post and pasted into L4?

Deuteronomy 5:1–4 (TNIV)

¹The Ten Commandments

5:6-21pp — Ex 20:1–17

5 Moses summoned all Israel and said:

Hear, Israel, the decrees and laws I declare in your hearing today. Learn them and be sure to follow them. ²²The Lord our God made a covenant with us at Horeb. ³³It was not with our ancestors that the Lord made this covenant, but with us, with all of us who are alive here today. ⁴⁴The Lord spoke to you face to face out of the fire on the mountain.

Hi Ken

Do you have %CopyAllText included in your style?

If I have this I get two verse numbers, if I don't I just get the one.

This copies all text including cross-reference footnotes, verse numbers, etc and would explain what you are seeing.
