Bug: Copy verse: Styled - Pasting into Powerpoint with superscripts and italics doesn't work

Copy verse: Styled has a bug when pasting the verse into a powerpoint slide using Logos 9.

Using Paste - Use Destination Theme (H) or Paste - Keep Source Formatting (K) or Paste - Paste Special - Formatted Text (RTF), all three do not properly honor Superscripts and Italics.

The Copy verse: Styled does seem to work in Microsoft Word.

Example Verse: Acts 22:3-5 (KJV 1900)

In Powerpoint it pastes as:

Notice that the verse number 3 (the first superscript) and everything after it is pasted as a superscript. The first italic word "which" and everything after it is both a superscript and in italics.

In Word it pastes corrected as shown below:

Acts 22:3–5 (KJV 1900)

³I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. ⁴And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. ⁵As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

Word is correctly honoring the superscript and italics settings being sent from Logos.

I currently have to Copy verse: Styled and paste into a Word document then copy and paste again from the Word document into Powerpoint to get around the Bug.

Logos customer support was able to duplicate the problem on their machine, but offered no solution other than I needed to contact MicroSoft to resolve the issue. They COULD duplicate the problem on their computer, but wouldn't acknowledge it as a Logos bug. Their only solution was to contact MicroSoft, who since the formatting copies and pastes fine from Word, is not going to acknowledge this as a problem with Powerpoint.

Does anyone in the Logos community have a fix for this issue?

Interesting, The Powerpoint example wasn't included in the Post. I'll do it as a screen shot.

It wouldn't past as a screen shot either.

I cut and pasted it back into Word from Powerpoint, hopefully you can see it.

Acts 22:3–5 (KJV 1900)

3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. 5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.

it took away the superscript and italics settings. Obviously there is some issue with how it was created in Logos.

One last try, which I had to recreate the superscript and italics with correct tags using Word, just to show what it looks like.

Acts 22:3–5 (KJV 1900)

^{3 I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. 4 And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women. 5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.}

That is what whatever gets pasted into Powerpoint from Logos looks like. Obviously there is something wrong with the superscript and italics tags, probably the ending formatting tags, that Logos is pasting with the text into Powerpoint. I have had similar issues with photos and bold entries getting pasted into Powerpoint slides as well. If it's not straight text, I normally paste to Word first then cut and paste from Word into Powerpoint to get things to work properly.
