Copy Bible Verses: Qere option for BHS

Hi all,

When using "Copy Bible Text" tool to copy/paste Hebrew text from a Hebrew Bible with Ketiv/Qere readings, I'd like to be able to copy the text with just Qere readings, or with both Ketiv/Qere readings. However, the only option for Copying using the tool "Copy Bible Text" is the text as written in MT (Ketiv consonants and Qere vowels). NOTE: I understand that I could set my BHS open resource to display the K/Q readings how I want and then do a manual select and copy/paste, but I'm try to use the benefit of the "Copy Bible Text" tools really slick style options (I don't want to have to re-format chapters-worth of verses if I can avoid it). 

Does anyone know if there are option settings for the copy tool to copy/paste choices among K/Q readings in resourse like BHS-OT or BHW? As a long-time user of Logos, I'm surprised I can't find the way to do this.

Thanks!

    There are no options in Copy from the Context menu, or the keyboard shortcut  e.g. you will get something like

    עָנֵ֤ה   מַלְכָּא֙   וְאָמַ֣ר   לְכַשְׂדָּיאֵ֔   מִלְּתָ֖א
    לְכַשְׂדָּיֵא

    (BHS SESB) where there is no differentiation between the MSS words in the Context menu.

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks. Yes, this is unfortunate. I have Accordance as well (even though I use Logos daily), and I can do a copy/paste into my word processor that looks like this (from Gen 14:2):

     2 עָשׂ֣וּ מִלְחָמָ֗ה אֶת־בֶּ֙רַע֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ סְדֹ֔ם וְאֶת־בִּרְשַׁ֖ע מֶ֣לֶךְ עֲמֹרָ֑ה שִׁנְאָ֣ב ׀ מֶ֣לֶךְ אַדְמָ֗ה וְשֶׁמְאֵ֙בֶר֙ מֶ֣לֶךְ צְבֹיִים [צְבוֹיִ֔ים] וּמֶ֥לֶךְ בֶּ֖לַע הִיא־צֹֽעַר׃

    The Ketiv text is first, followed by the Qere in brackets.

    This would be very helpful to be able to do in my beloved Logos. :)

    Phillip
