Word for Mac does not accept the paths created when you use the "Copy Location As" feature in resources and other panels to create hyperlinks. Development is looking into this issue.

We've looked into the issue and it's a Word bug. TextEdit supports the logosres: protocol links that Logos creates. I'm not sure why Windows supports non http:/mailto: in Word but Mac does not.

Because Office for Mac is a crippled version. From reading the Office Mac forums it appears that this is deliberate.
I also could not get Pages, Mellel, or Text Edit to recognize the link.

Tom mentioned that they worked in TextEdit, and I was able to create a link in TextEdit that opened the Logos 4 location I had copied. Are you copying the location as a URL?

I clicked on "Copy location as URL". I then used Cmd-V into each of those applications, and none of them appeared to be links. I am using OS 10.5.8, does that make a difference?

For TextEdit you paste Cmd-V then select text and then Cmd-K to make a link and paste text again in popup window, then you will get a link that works. But will not work in Pages because Pages insists on prefixing a http:// in front of the Logos text in link which makes it fail because it is not HTTP protocol but Logos specific one.

Thanks for the tip, but that did not work for me. Cmd-K did not yield a popup—Nothing happened.
This procedure did create a link in Word 2008, but Word then refused to open the Logos resource.

Hmmm — works fine for me
1. Open TextEdit
2. Get link from Logos — Copy Location As URL. In my example URL text is "logosres:rommntc;art=33" note that protocol is 'logosres' not HTTP.
3. Paste text in TextEdit (NOTE — the TextEdit document MUST be Rich Text format, plain text will not work). Then reselect it and press Command-X, or choose from menu Edit | Add Link. Popup appears, paste in text.
4. Any text can be setup to be a link
5. And there you are
Double check your TextEdit document is Rich Text not plain text, plain text documents cannot embed links.
For Word 2008 check what is the actual link text it is embedding, it must be "logosres:rommntc;art=33" any HTTP etc. will mess it up.

Thank you for the detailed instructions. However, my desktop machine has Leopard (10.5.8), and the Text Edit in that OS does not have "Link to". My laptop has Snow Leopard (10.6.5), and Text Edit does have that feature.

Unfortunately, Word insists upon adding file://localhost/ to the beginning of the link, so it will not work.

Another option on the Mac would be MacJournal. It's journaling software for the Mac and you can create hyperlinks in to Logos Resources. When you copy it as a URL you then paste or select the text you want to create a hyperlink with. You right (control) click the text and select link and then paste the URL you copied from Logos into the URL field.
MacJournal also works great for taking notes/journaling and is very easy to organize
Hope this helps[H]
