Great new Mac Feature - Get bible verses directly in Pages!
This is a great little feature in the new Mac release. In an y application that lets you use the services menu (e.g. pages) just highlight a verse reference such as Mark 1 and click [Shift] [cmd] e. Viola! The verse/s appear as though you had used the copy bible verses function, although with ludicrously fast speed!
This is is going to be a great time saver. It is worth noting it may not be available/turned on by default. It wasn't for me. To get it working go to your Mac system preferences, select keyboard. Choose Services from the box on the left. Then scroll down the list on the right until you see Copy Bible Verses & Replace with Passage. Click them to make them active.
I've attached a picture that may help. Thanks Mac Devs for this addition

That's weird. I don't have those options in my control panel. Did you have to manually add them? Thanks.

same here, these options are not under my keyboard services list.

I'm not seeing them either. I wonder what has to happen to make them appear?

What version of OS X are you running? Wonder if there might be differences between Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard in the use of Services.

I fixed this by rebooting. These options are now available.

Garry, I am having the same problem: activating Parallels and Logos (PC), bypassing Logos (Mac). If you find a solution, I would to love to hear it.

Ditto for me - launches Logos 4 through Parallels rather than my Logos 4 MAC install.

I'm using IMac with Yosemite OS. I checked both "Copy Bible Verses" and "Replace with Passage." Opened Pages in my Mac, typed Mark 1, then highlighted the passage and held down shift/command p, (nothing happened) then tried shift/command e (nothing happened)
Any suggestions? Thanks
This is a great feature that I would make much of if I could use it in MS Word 2008, but at the moment I'm not able to. Pages works fine, but not in Word. I have a thread open already - http://community.logos.com/forums/t/30560.aspx
I wonder if some other function in Word is hogging those shortcuts? You could try to assign a different shortcut and see if that works?
I don't have word but I've tried it in a few other applications (not ones I would ever use it in - but just to test) and it works in them...
Can confim that there is a conflict with "Replace with Passage" (Shift-Cmd-E) - this brings up the Reviewing Toolbar.
There are no services listed in the Word main menu, as there is in Pages. Perhaps Services aren't available in Word/ MS Office?
Services menu says...
Does this mean service can't be used, or that Word doesn't recognise any available services?
