Scripture reference hot links in Note Document

I love Logos 4 and I'm very excited to use it for years, but PLEASE don't leave out the button in Note documents which automatically finds every Scripture reference and turns it into a link which opens your preferred Bible!

I've noticed that when typing a Bible reference in a note document it automatically transforms it into a hot link which is great!

However, I often cut and paste extensive notes typed in MS Word into a Logos Note document so I can instantly see the Bible references as I study and add more notes. Did I miss something? I can't find a way in L4 to turn those pasted Scripture refs into links as you can in L3.

Here is just one reason why this ability is so awesome. I often attend lectures, and frequently the professor supplies a lecture outline with Scripture references etc to the students as a Word Doc so we can take our own notes in the Word Doc during the lecture. My practice has been to cut and paste those notes into Logos so I can both take my own notes, and instantly view the Scriptures the professor is using to support the point being made. The resulting document then lives on my hard drive in Logos and becomes an invaluable resource for years to come. This one feature is HUGE.

Please add it to L4!

thanks

My preference would be to check cut and pasted material for references and create the appropriate links.

Very good suggestion.

Help me understand what you mean...are you saying your preference is to go through pasted material and manually create the link for each reference? That might work for a few refs on one page, but I'm talking many pages of material with hundreds of references.

Or are you referring to something easier than what I think you meant?

thanks for your help here...

Nope. My preference is for Logos to say, "gee, he just pasted something in the note field. I wonder if there are any references in there?" and then automatically scan it and tag all the references.

I think its easier...no buttons to have to remember to push.

Yes. This is a feature which should be implemented as it is in many other bible software programs. Right now Logos is behind in this one but hopefully will catch up.
