Copy and Pasting into Word -- preserving small caps?

Hi everyone!

I didn't do much work with the OT during Lent as far as putting together our Sunday bulletins, but now I've got an issue. Whenever I copy and paste in a lesson from the OT, I cannot get the tetragrammaton (LORD) to appear properly formatted in Small Caps. It used to be (in Logos 3 and even in Logos 4 when I got it this past January) that in Word, if would set the paste to "Preserve Source Formatting" everything would be good. I'd have to change tabs and font face, but the superscript verse numbers and the small caps for God's name would be all set.

Now however, I can't get small caps at all. Whether I say to use destination styles, source styles, or merge styles, it all comes out as just "Lord." Likewise, if I tell Word to just keep the text, it will put the name in pure capitals, "LORD" and then lose the superscript of the verse numbers.

Any thoughts? Something must have changed in the way Logos is spitting out that copy-and-paste information. The small caps are clearly visible in the copy Bible Verses Window.

Thanks!

Oops, one thing I forgot. Just highlighting and copying and pasting right from the book itself, and selecting to use source formatting does exactly what I need. However, the copy Bible Verses windows doesn't seem to do that, even when selecting the "Fully Formatted" option.

Thoughts?

As I recall the current beta resolves some issues of formatting in copy & paste.

Excellent. I'll just sit tight and hope that it's all fixed then when it gets to a final or even an RC stage. Thanks!

Before I'd read the rest of your sentence, I thought you had given up the OT for Lent! [:)]

This isn't a bug in Logos. Someone else had this exact same problem with the small caps on the word LORD. See this thread for my explanation of how to set Word to preserve the formatting you're pasting in from other applications. I don't know why it isn't on by default, or whether Logos has any ability to override that setting in Word. But this should solve your problem:

Rosie, my problem is that even when selecting "keep source formatting" it was not keeping the small caps from the Copy Bible Verses window. It does work, however, just copying it straight out of an open Bible resource. This DID work a few months ago before the more recent updates. Hope this indeed fixed in Logos soon!

The 4.0c update indeed fixed this issue! Thanks a bunch!

Yep! Sure did. Thanks, Logos team.
