Paste Font Style on PC

I am using Logos 5 running Word 2013 on a Windows 7 OS.

Every time I use the "Copy Bible Verses" feature (ctrl-alt-B) and copy a verse into my word document it pastes it as Times New Roman.

In Logos, under Tools-Program Settings, the Default Resource and Default Notes fonts are set to Arial. Yet when I copy and paste it still pastes in Times New Roman.

In the "Copy Bible Verses" popup window, I have tried customizing the style but even under help there does not appear to be a code that allows you to format that changes the font style of the verses you copy and paste.

Of course I have the same problem when I highlight a source, copy and paste it into my notes.

I would prefer not to have to go back into my word document and highlight what I just copied and pasted and reformat the text every time to the appropriate font.

Is there a way to solve this issue or am I doomed to reformatting every single time?

Thank you in advance,

Mike

    Under File >> Options >> Advanced you should be able to see how Words treats pasting from different sources, and the default in Word 2013 is to keep source formatting when pasting from other programs. What is your setting?

    In Logos, under Tools-Program Settings, the Default Resource and Default Notes fonts are set to Arial. Yet when I copy and paste it still pastes in Times New Roman.

    The only time I get Times New Roman is when I Copy & Paste, but the verse numbers are Arial - so that must be the source formatting. With CBV I get a mixture of Arial and Calibri from the Fully Formatted style, where Calibi comes from my default Word style.

    In the "Copy Bible Verses" popup window, I have tried customizing the style but even under help there does not appear to be a code that allows you to format that changes the font style of the verses you copy and paste.

    The Logos Help (F1) shows:-

    %HeaderStyle=MyWordStyle
     header will use the specified Word style
    %ForEachVerseStyle=MyWordStyle
     verse(s) will use the specified Word style
    %FooterStyle=MyWordStyle
     footer will use the specified Word style
    %FootnoteStyle=MyWordStyle
     all footnotes, including citations, will use the specified Word style
    %CitationStyle=MyWordStyle
     citation footnotes, only, will use the specified Word style
