I'm on a Mac and would love to see this asap.... any timeframe?
Can you be more specific? I've always wanted a "cite type" that copies the URL location as the cite, rather than a footnote type, specifically so I can paste quotes into external software and have a link back to the resource in Logos. I know you can do this by copying, pasting, then copying the url (through the menu in the top left of the resource), then switching back to the other software and pasting the url to the location in Logos, but this has always been a lot of work --more work than it should be.
When you say, "automatic hyperlinking," what specifically are you asking for?

On the PC version of Logos, when you type a scripture reference in a note, it is automatically hyperlinked to that passage… this isn't true on Mac, due to limitations of the notes engine.

"Logosres" will do this, depending upon the software you are using. If you own the peacemaker, by Ken Sande, this link will take you there:

I think this functionality is part of the current beta - Logos are doing their own notes editor now (which means all the OS-facilitated features are gone, I heard Mackies cry about a spell checker or so...) which features exactly what you wrote.
A caveat for those who want to try: in current beta exactly that and no more means, i.e. typing and then seeing the reference hyperlinked (which seems to work because they parse the text when someone hits "space"), not pasting a page from a commentary and seeing all the dozens of refernces linked. Hopefully in next beta.
I don't have "logosres" as an option for a citation type... You must be on a beta version? If so, at least it's good to know this capability is coming.

Copy as Wiki will get that for you

Use "URL"… this feature has been around as long as I have used Logos! It works in Windows much better than on Mac. You should be able to select a word or phrase in Word, create a "hyperlink," paste the logosres into the hyperlink area and have an automatic link to your logos resource from within Logos!

By "this functionality" you mean auto hyperlinking? It isn't working on mine, and I don't believe it is working for other users on Mac yet, but I could be wrong about that.
Mike, I am really sorry that your thread got hijacked. Sorry! [:S] [:)]

No worries... lots of good info [:D]
If it makes you feel any better, I am still waiting for an answer to the OP as well! [:S]
