copy Bible verse,

Terry McInnes

I am trying to change the appearance of the copied scripture passage when it is copied into my doc. I want the reference to follow the passage instead of being at the beginning of the passage. The format  I use is "one-verse-per-line. By the way, my best email address is: woodvillebaptistchurch@embarqmail.com

Grace to you and Peace

Hi Terry - and welcome to the forums.

For details on the various styles including information on how to create new ones or edit existing ones please see http://wiki.logos.com/Copy_Bible_Verses

The syntax you want is:

%NoCharFormatting

%NoRedLetter

%NoFootnotes

%NoCitation

=ForEachVerse

<p> [VerseText] [FullVerseRef]</p>

This is the same as for "one-verse-per-line" but I have moved "[FullVerseRef]" from before the verse to afterwards.

Please let me know if this doesn't give you what you are looking for.

Graham

Terry, I believe I got what you are asking and YES there is a way to change it:

1) have the verse typed in the text box of the bible resource;

once it is there

2) use 'tools' - 'copy bible verse'

It will then open in another window(tab), You will see the verse(s) and you will notice the blue underscored menus

3)click the 'fully formatted' and it will open the citations listing by pic's  - choose the one you want then click 'copy and paste' [the setting should remain for future use]

play with it.

I hoe this is what you were looking for..Robert

[edit: I typed this and then remembered the short version- once the veres is showing you can place the cursor next to the verse but not highlighting anything, just in the window near the verse, then right-click and you will see 'copy xxxxx' then click it, the citation style you set will be used. Then paste it into you doc.]

Can anyone help me understand the inherent value in using the Copy Bible Verse function vs. using the built-in Windows functionality of highlighting the text, CTRL-C to copy to the clipboard, and CTRL-V to paste it into the note or other application?

It allows you to apply various formatting styles (italics, verse numbers, "one-verse-per-line") to the text which you don't get the Ctrl-C/V

Well I could almost agree, but why are you doing the copy/paste for a note? Drag/drop works just fine. I've done the d/d many times as long as it is within the realm of L4.

Outside of L4 the windows process works well, but you really do not need to highlight the text if you are in a bible resource, you do need to if it is any other resource. Using the r-click menu there is no need for the c/p, is there? Unless it is a multy-text citation, then using the cbv as described by the wiki link is really an attributed feature worth its weight in gold......
