    By the way, for interest's sake, I just checked my version of Word (formerly Office 365 - now Microsoft 365), and for what it's worth it is Version 2105 (Build 14026.20308).

    I can report that Smart Tags are working in MS 365  Version 2205 Build 16.0.15225.20028 32-bit.  I'm on Windows 11 version 21H2, but others have it working on Windows 10 Version 21H1.  Using Logos 9.14.

    I can confirm that Smart Tags is working with MS 365 Version 2205 Build 16.0.15225.20078 64-bit. I'm using Win. 11 Pro 21H2 and Logos 9.14.

    It's great to have it working again. It is especially helpful since I previously had it configured AutoHotkey to do the work of right-clicking etc., so that with the press of a single shortcut combination of keys on the keyboard the script sends all the mouse clicks (keyboard equivalent navigation) and keystrokes to convert a Bible reference into a quotation without any further action needed. It might only save a little time, but it all adds up in the long run. It's good to have the AutoHotkey script working without any updates needed too.

    I just reactivated Smart Tags (Additional Actions) in Word, and am very thankful that they seem to be working again!  Over a year without being able to use them, and I've really missed them. 

    I echo the request to John to have you post your AutoHotKey Script, if you'd be willing to do so.  I'm going to try to create my own, but wouldn't mind seeing how you did it, if it's not too much trouble.  Thanks. 

    Regards,

    Hi Glen, I'm not sure if 'script' is technically the right term, but here are the lines from the AutoHotkey.ahk file that I have which launches automatically with Windows. 

    I hope it works ok for you.

    Some notes:

    • The first half of the code runs the Logos copy Bible verses add-in.
    • The second half of the code formats the Bible passage quoted into 'Quote' style in Word - this can be deleted, or edited to select a different style in Word.
    • If deleting any of the lines to format the quotation in Word, be sure to keep the last line "return" at the end.
    • The numerous 'Sleep' lines are needed to avoid the code running too fast for the computer. If anything happens out of sync, try increasing the numbers (mS delay) after the Sleep commands (begin by doubling them, I would suggest). Different computers might require different delays than what worked for me. 

    ;Logos Copy Bible Verses
    ^!b:: ; Press Control + Alt + b
    Keywait, B, L ; this waits until this key is released before continuing
    Keywait, LAlt, L ; this waits until this key is released before continuing
    Keywait, LControl, L ; this waits until this key is released before continuing
    Send {End} ; this puts the cursor to the end of the line
    Sleep, 40
    Send {Shift down}{Home} ; begin activating Shift+F10 to simulate mouse right-click
    Sleep, 40
    Send {Shift down}
    Sleep 200
    Send {F10}
    Sleep, 20
    Send {Shift up} ; finish activating Shift+F10 to simulate mouse right-click
    Sleep, 250
    Send A ; select A for additional actions
    Sleep 250
    Send B ; select B to copy Bible verses
    Sleep, 400
    Send {TAB} ; navigate a few times using 'TAB' in Logos to highlight 'Copy and Paste'
    Sleep, 150
    Send {TAB}
    Sleep, 150
    Send {TAB}
    Sleep, 150
    Send {Enter} ; Press 'Enter' at 'Copy and Paste' in Logos
    ; The following is used only to format the text in Word - delete it if formatting the Bible passage quoted is not required
    Sleep, 400
    Send {Left}
    Sleep, 40
    Send {Left}
    Sleep, 40
    Send {Left}
    Sleep, 40
    Send {Left}
    Sleep, 40
    Send {Left}
    Sleep, 200
    Send ^!q ; This is the shortcut I use to activate the 'Quote' style in Word, Ctrl+Alt+q . For example, use instead ^!3 to activate 'Heading 3' if that is normally activated using Ctrl+Alt+3
    Sleep, 100
    ; The next few lines place the cursor on a new line below the Bible passage quoted.
    Send {Down}
    Send {Home}
    Sleep, 100
    Send {Enter}
    ; Keep this last line even if other lines above are deleted
    return

    For some reason Smart Tags stopped working today, after a Windows 11 update.

    I followed the Powershell instructions with RegisterSmartTags.ps1 and the downloaded 64bit LSmtTG64.dll and they're working again. Phew.

    Microsoft 365/Word Version 2403 (Build 17425.20176 Click-to-Run)

    Logos 33.0.363

    Windows 11 Pro, Build 22631.3447 Experience 1000.22688.1000.0

    I had the same problem too. I followed the instructions here: https://wiki.logos.com/Smart_Tags and it now works fine. Same Logos and Windows versions.

    Smart Tags are the one thing I miss from switching away from Microsoft Word. It would be nice if Faithlife were able to provide a Smart Tag extension for the same functionality in the Open/Libre office system.

    Firstly take the Office 365 backup and then try other steps.
