Word lists flash cards as Word document

G. Allen Gunn

I love the new Word List feature. I really like the ability to create and print flash cards from a word list. However, when I try to import the word list to an MS Word document, it only comes across as a table, not as actual flash cards. Am I missing something? Is there a way to create an MS Word file that has the flash cards, so that I could share this file with my students?

I opened a Word List and selected "cards" then clicked on print/export. in the upper right hand corner of the print/export window I can select my printer. Since I have Adobe Acrobat installed I am able to print to an adobe file that could be shared with students.

Before I purchased Acrobat I used to use a free program called PDF995 to do the same thing. I know their there are other "Print to PDF" utilities that are available.

I am assuming you are using Windows...but if not Macs have a built-in print to PDF option.

Thanks for that idea, Thomas. Actually, I've got a print to pdf utility, but not Acrobat's. When I tried it, the Greek text came across as gibberish. Were you actually able to print out readable Greek using the Adobe utility?

You might try going into Logos 4 program settings and trying a different Greek font.

Yes, the Adobe printed exactly what what on my monitor.

For What it's Worth, I used flashcards when I took Greek in undergrad in the 80's. When I have taken Biblical languages in the last 3 years I started making flashcards for drilling, but soon found that there are mobile apps that do the same thing and since I always have my phone with me, I don't have to make a conscious effort to bring my cards. In my Hebrew class I was introduced to http://www.iflipr.com and I LOVE it. I was able to incorporate visual and auditory learning to my drills.

I applaud your desire to provide tools for your students! but the tools that helped us may not be the most helpful to today's learners.

I'm actually having the opposite problem; when I try to print the word list in grid format, it comes out as cards. I'm on a Mac using Logos 5. Any suggestions?
