I find that the Ctrl+Alt+C Windows shortcut [to copy a location in a resource as a URL that I can paste into a Word hyperlink dialog box] does not work if I have text in the resource highlighted. Is this by design, or a bug?
It might be an interference of the Alt key now used to turn off "Smart Tags" selection - there are other reports of such.
I cannot reproduce this in 6.0a SR4 on Windows. What resource are you using? What version of Word?
Thank you, Angela, for looking into this.
I'm copying a link from Lange's commentary on Matthew (translated by Philip Schaff) into a Word 2013 document. I highlighted the text I want to link to, then used the Ctrl+Alt+C shortcut. The Word "Insert Hyperlink" dialog box picks up the url of a web page I happen to have open in a browser window. When I remove the highlighting and try the Ctrl+Alt+C shortcut, then the logosres url is picked up.
This happened just now with SR4, and also a couple of days ago before the latest update downloaded.
Here are a couple of pix:
I'm not able to reproduce this; if I highlight the range you have shown and press Ctrl+Alt+C, the following is copied to my clipboard:
logosres:lange61mt;ref=Bible.Mt16.16;off=3389;ctx=ife_of_the_Church.$E2$80$9D_~Meyer,_indeed,_takes
Maybe it's an issue with my Word installation? My latest experiment:
web browser open; Logos resource open; "Sticky Note" open; Word doc "Insert Hyperlink" dialog box open.
highlight resource text; Ctrl+Atl+C; paste into sticky note=logos url
focus on Word dialog box, address field is blank; paste into Word dialog box=logos url
clear dialog box field; return to resource and Ctrl+Alt+C; immediately return to dialog box, address field auto-fills with web browser's url
clear dialog box field, paste & logos url is entered
If this is idiosyncratic to my situation, I can live with it & work around.
Thanks for the research!
It sounds like Word is trying to be "helpful" here by assuming you want to add a link to the web page you currently have open. However, as far as I can tell, Ctrl+Alt+C is working correctly in Logos (so you can always just clear out the link Word automatically fills in, and paste the Logos URL over it).
