Exporting marked text available now?
At BibleTech in 2010 some Logos programmers assured me that within a few months Logos would have the ability to print or copy for insertion in a word processing document text with all the markings I would have added. This is an important ability so I can hand out samples of text marking or create study documents for my own use.
But up to now there has been no progress and never any response from Logos when I've asked about progress. Is this something we can do now in version 5?

As long as the markings are turned on, click on the resource icon and choose print/export you can print or export to a word processor. This was possible in L4 as well.

HMM. I don't think so, at least not using MS Word 2007. The highlighting/markup is lost.

My experience is that Some markup works (blue foreground, red foreground etc.) but other formats (blue highlighter, etc) get stripped.

I just tried a highlighted document I have, and it prints with highlighting but neither save in a new Word document, open a new Word document, or copy to clipboard preserve the highlighting (I am using Word 2010).

Are you referring to exporting to MS Word or to printing?

Thanks. I haven't tried it with every kind of markup, just a couple. It didn't work for me with those I tried. I can try some more to see if any of mine work.

this is a video showing how we created a colored visual filter then exported into Word.

I have no personal experience, but from what I've read on the forums earlier it seems that Word supports far fewer options than Logos does. So you have to use options that Word supports.

That is indeed, precisely the issue.

Printing was a major feature that was added in Logos 4.1 (http://wiki.logos.com/Logos_4.1) after BibleTech 2010. You can print the markup/highlights just as they appear in the resource display. If you have a "Save as PDF" printer driver installed on your computer (this is a third-party add-on), you can save the markup as PDF by printing to it.
I'm not sure who you talked to, but I think there may have been confusion/misunderstanding on their part if they assured you that we would allow markup to be copied into a word processing document.
We have never planned (nor do we plan) to export markup to word processors. At a fundamental level, this is simply because Word does not support the markup that Logos 4 creates; there is no way we can actually insert that markup into a Word document. (Note: some very basic formatting, such as text colour and background colour can be exported from the Print/Export dialog, but that's all.)
Sorry for the disappointing news (and that I've missed any previous posts where you've inquired about this).

Thanks for the definitive word, Bradley. I was beginning to think I missed something major.

Bradley (and others), I have a document that contains just simple Yellow Highlighting, and that does not export into a Word document (Word 2010). I got the impression from Bradley's post this should work. Should it?

Note that Bradley lined out the background color portion of his post

Thank you, Bradley. I tried printing a marked up passage; that worked fine. The only omission is that my notes don't show on the printout. I don't know if that is possible in either 4 or 5; I would like to be able to write comment or questions and print them with the text.
I installed CutePDF and see I can create a PDF showing the markings.
As far as I've found so far, there is no way to include marked text in a Handout. Is there something I've missed?
Now, since this thread is no longer specifically about version 5, I'll move any additional questions or observations to another folder.
