Copy/Paste highlighted text

Is there a way to copy and paste highted text into Word so that the highlights remain? What I am trying to do is work through a book and highlight key sentences. I then want to paste the entire chapter into Word, then go back and enter text (answer questions posed etc.) and then make a personal book of it.

If you want editable text, no. If you just want the visual text, you can save as a pdf and insert the text as pictures.

The heart of the matter: Highlights in Logos are visual filters applied to the text in Logos. The visual filters are meaningless to Word and are ignored.

Thanks Alabama that is what I thought was the case. I guess I will go through and copy/paste the hightlighted sections individually and then work with the text.

For a Sunday School class I am in, I have highlighted some things in some of the books by changing the colors of the words, and when I have pasted this info into a Word document, those highlights have stayed in place in the Word document in both .doc and .docx formats.

Some formatting might remain… are you just saying the text color (i.e. "red" or "blue") remained? Is that the "highlight" style to which you refer?

Yes, I changed just the color of the text, used the option for the text looking like it was on fire, but in Word, it appeared as red.

Thanks Randy, you have saved me a ton of work. I tired it with "On Fire," "Orange Outline," "Larger Text," and "Orange Foreground". They all worked when pasting them into Word. It seems that any highlighting tool that marks the text including the foreground highlighters should come across into Word. They will not look the same as they do in Logos but at least you can see a difference in the text which is what I want. Now I can read through a book, highlight the passages that I want to come back to, then copy it all into Word. It will then be easy to delete the parts I don't want and work with the parts that I do want. Thank-you so much. I didn't think that I could do that. I wasn't even going to ask, but I am glad that I did. [:)]
