Artificial intelligence, Bard, your favorite Bible interpreters and workflows ...
Okay, due to the integrate ChatGPT thread, I decided to share something I've been playing with.

Bard (Google chatbot)
Note these workflows expect a familarity with the interpreters’ works through your Logos/Verbum library. The intent is to cover McKim, Donald K., ed. Dictionary of Major Biblical Interpreters. Downers Grove, IL; Nottingham, England: InterVarsity Press, 2007. to the degree possible through Bard.

You will notice that for the contemporary people, the prompts walk you through the basics of applying their theories; for earlier people, the prompts walk you through reading the commentaries as they were intended to be read. I started with people I knew well enough to know if the prompts were appropriate, moved to Jewish and Evangelical sources, then started the historical aspect. J. A. Alexander is an example of the prompts informing me of his presuppositions - which I did not know. For myself, that is a major benefit of these.
EDIT: updated the list for new entries and standardized the prior list. Items added are marginal - major Jewish interpreters, a Mormon (Nibley), an interfaith specialist (Borg), a perennial philosophy person (Schuon), and completed the letter A in the dictionary.

Is there a way to export these prompts to Microsoft Word?

I don't think so.

How did you try to reach it? They are public - I've double checked.

ALTERNATIVE 1)
What do you see when you click MJ. Smith' link? You should be led to documents.logos.com, to MJ. Smith' page of that to be precise, and see the workflow document like this (note in the top right I'm logged in to it) :
Now you can either use the button "Get Copy" or the same command from the dropdown menu at the top (see the green arrows). Once you did this, documents.logos.com will switch to your page and will inform you that your copy is up do date.
You may filter your documents on this page for workflow templates and should see those you have a copy of.
Note that due to the inconsistencies in Logos/Verbum you won't see those workflow templates in Logos under the Documents menu - however, you will see them in the Guides menu's Custom Workflows section:voila, it's there.
ALTERNATIVE 2)
Disregarding the links, you simply go to the Guides menu in Logos/Verbum. At the bottom of that page, you'll find the button "Get more shared Workflows"
if you click this, you'll get an instance of the Documents menu that can display Workflow Templates. Now you can filter or search to find the workflows MJ has shared
selecting one and using the "Add to your docs" button on the top will put a copy into your Logos that's visible in the Custom Workflows part of the Guides menu.
Hope this helps!
Have joy in the Lord!

Thank you NB ... I had finally realized I needed to do this.
Have any of those of you who have accessed these, do you find them useful? if not, I'll be more sloppy and make them just for myself as need arises. If they are useful, what interpreters are you most interested in?

FIXED! Thanks. I missed that these were Workflows.
I am quite impressed with MJ's work--and a lot of it.
Don't quit the quality work quite yet! Maybe pause as we wait for more feedback. I need more time to look through this.
