copy note contents from one note to another?

I'm wondering if it's possible to do this. I have a note file called "Scripture Notes" which consists of notes that I have attached to various scripture verses. I would like to copy a note on a particular scripture to another note file. For instance, I have a note attached to James 2:1 that reads

"In the book of James we do not see the poor condemned for lack of faith. On the contrary, it is the rich who are condemned for the way they treat the poor. Rather than condemning them for their lack of wealth they are commended as being "rich in faith".

I would like to take this note and copy it to a note file called "Meditations on Wealth". I would like to be able to take all the notes I have in that file and put them in separate note files on various topics that have to do with the scriputre quoted. Is there a way to do this easily?

Are you trying to have a single note exist in 2 separate note files? I do not know how to do this.

The obvious solution is to copy and paste the contents into a new note file.

Alternatively, what I would do is simply have a Passage List entitled "Verses of Wealth". From this I could jump to the individual passages that I've referenced and see the attached notes.

You want the same note, still attached to the same verse, duplicated to a 2nd note file, right?

Yes, there is a trick for this. I have too little free RAM to open Logos right now, and it's past midnight so I'm not going to make any great efforts to try this out, but if my memory serves me right, you do like this:

Open both note files beside each other.
Drag-and-drop the note from file A to file B.
Click in file A to regain focus.
Hit, well it's cmd-z in Mac, so I presume it's ctrl-z in Windows?
The note should now reappear in A, without disappearing from B.

There's a section on this somewhere on the Wiki.

(Try it out with a test note first, so you don't mess anything up if I misremember some step.)

This wiki article shows you how to copy & pastes a single note found in a note File:

How can I copy/move notes to a New Note file

It basically guides you to drag-N-drop then do a Ctrl Z.

Unfortunately to move multiple notes requires you to move each of them individually

Thanks everyone! This is exactly what I was looking for - a simple way to copy a note from one file to another.[:D]

I haven't looked at the notes or noticed them in my text lately but I am seeing that the note icon is huge compared to what it used to be. Is this normal? If so it looks pretty bad and I hope they make this smaller like it used to be.

OK. I see that it is only the first icon selection that is oversized (the plain note figure) but the others are all normal size (ie the star and others show as about the same size as the text). Is this the way it is supposed to be? If so why? Is there a way to get a normal size plain note figure?
