I've never seen this. Which version of Mac? Which version of Logos? Which method to "copy and paste"? Have you restarted your Mac? [Ugh! With Logos, sometimes it's a must [:(] ]

done all of the things , went through about two hours on the phone with screen control, its back where it was , i am concerned think the mac version maybe does get the time and care to be sincerely the same as windows , its just sad for a poor christians who spend all there money on it only to find ot does not have the simple function of many free apps like copy and paste i appeal to logos conscience ,

Your problem is unique. Other Mac users do not have this problem. Alabama asked for information. Could you please supply that—What Mac OS? What version of Logos?

Darren,

I Start Logos 5.2a SR-4, Open ESV, do the basic CMD+C ... Start MS Word for Mac 2011 (14.4.1), do the basic CMD+V ... seems to work OK

Please elaborate about copy and paste ? What is being copied and pasted ? (allow other Logos users and employees to replicate)

Apple changed format for Pages copy and paste; Logos developer replied => http://community.logos.com/forums/p/76735/538469.aspx#538469

Microsoft Word on Windows handles right to left text correctly, but not on OS X.

Logos handles right to left text correctly on OS X and Windows.

For word processing on OS X, LibreOffice is Free => https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/

LibreOffice has settings for Complex Text Layout, which can be useful for Hebrew:

LibreOffice also handles foot notes and is an option for Logos Copy Bible Verses:

Caveat: using Logos 5.2b Beta 1 am experiencing "Copy and Paster" not working with LibreOffice 4.2.4.2; clicking Copy, switching to LibreOffice Writer, and paste does work.

Observation: Logos software is free; resources can be expensive.

Hi Darren:

Sorry to hear you're having difficulty. As for copy and paste, Word 2011 has always worked but there was a time when Apple released the new version of Pages where that capability was lost. Scripting was left out of the new version but was added back in after several updates from Apple. You can now do copy and paste from the "services" menu of both Word and Pages although the manual method works as well. I'm assuming you were referring to the loss of copy and paste from services since the Control C and Control V method always worked. If you haven't already done so, update Pages and Word to the latest versions.

By the way, Logos has no control over developers when they make changes to their apps and in the process functions that worked before are broken. That goes for Windows as well as Mac OS X. Have a blessed day.

In Christ,

Charles

Copy and Paste of Hebrew text from Logos to Word for Mac 2011 does work correctly, as this screenshot from Joel 1:2 demonstrates. I have even been able to mix Hebrew (r-l) and English (l-r) on the same line, but that does take a bit of experimentation. This is a great improvement over previous versions of Word for Mac.

BTW: CBV also works correctly with L5 and MS Word for Mac 2011.

I think there was an update to word which provided this functionality.

Perhaps—I don't remember when it first started working correctly for me.

Hi, I believe you. [:)]

I've seen similar behaviour on my MacBook with Mountain Lion but with Word 2011.

Usually I can cut and paste into Word using Command-C/V. Sometimes however, the keys stop working and I have to use the Edit Menu to paste into Word.

It has happened from Logos I believe but usually it's from Safari or Firefox. When it does happen I have to shut everything down and reboot. Next time it happens I'll see if it affects Logos.

Learned Word 2008 (12.2.9) and Word 2011 (14.2.2) show HALOT copy and paste in correct word order, but footnotes leave a bit to be desired. In contrast, LibreOffice Writer 4.2.4.2 numbered HALOT abbreviations for footnotes (albeit superscript 7 in HALOT is different):

Copy and Paste from Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear with Hebrew and English displayed has Hebrew word order reversed in Word 2008 and 2011 while LibreOffice does not handle English correctly:
