Select a different word from an interlinear text

When I have an interlineal text, I right click on the word but I can only select the word in the upper line, how can I select the word from the lower lines, here is an example:

As you can see, when I right click on top of the word, the hebrew word gets selected, how can I select the greek word below the hebrew text? I have this problem with many resources and its very painful, basically what I want is to select the word I want so I can copy and paste it, but since I cant, I have to type the word by myself!

Thanks!

    Welcome to the forums, Joe.

    You're sort of out of luck. The resource you're using is Tov's parallel aligned hebrew-greek. If memory serves, it was produced outside Logos, back in the Libronix days ... an early RI. But it's not lemma'd nor morphed, and due to formatting, often can't use the hebrew analytical either. As you observed, the right-click is surface only, and no indexing beyond verse. But in its heyday, it was the cat's meow.

    When Logos did latin (Vulgate), they did a hebrew RI with latin, but as far as I know, not a hebrew/greek RI ... unless I forgot. The poor substitute is a Septuagint with hebrew aligned:

    Thanks for your answer DMB, its nice to get an answer, even if its just to know that I can't do what I need.

    I actually found some sort of partial solution, in settings, I have to select Yes to the option regrarding copying foot notes, that way, when I select the passage it copies everything, both foot notes and main text at the same time, its not ideal if you only want to select one of the words to do a bible word study and so, but at least I dont have to manually type the entire text by myself when I want to paste it in a document. I can open a Word document, paste the text there, and then select the word(s) I need, copy and paste them in Verbum to make a bible word study or something like that, again, not ideal, but I like it better than changing my keyboard to greek or hebrew and then having to type the entire thing.

    Thanks again!
