I just tried tags in the latest version of Word and they are there, and working, but with v3 Logos.

I would ask that you do not only implement Smart Tags. I write my sermons using Open Office - Smart Tags do not work in OO. On the other hand, either of the two other methods mentioned in this thread (use of an icon in the system tray or a shortcut) to pull up Bible verses work well across a number of programs.

That is a very good point. Though I would really prefer the solution be an also/and rather then either/or. I really use the smart tags :-)

I thought that was what I was advocating for - if not, then let me add my voice to the "BOTH/AND" proposal - just because Smart Tags do not work for me, I know that many use them. I think offering all three methods would be the best solution in order to meet the needs of many different users.

I've obviously been doing it the hard way in V3. Could someone explain how "smart tags" work. I use Word 2003 with V3 all the time and don't know what these are. Thanks!!!

We'll look into bringing it back. (Or would a user-choosable, system-wide shortcut key be even better? Then you could, say, Ctrl+Alt+C and then type a reference?
For me either way would work, particularly if you give us the ability to assign our our short-cut key combo. I think I have CTRL-ALT-C assigned already. Windows desktop short cuts can be assigned key-combos as well, and that defaults to CTRL-ALT-[key], so maybe CTRL-Shift-[key], or CTRL-ALT-Shift-[key] would get a more universal acceptance.
What would be really helpful is the ability to access the app via a Macro to insert verses directly into a document. As a WordPerfect user I've used Dale Durnel's WP macros with Libronix for years and found them to be a very helpful and quick way to insert the verse, strip away all the extraneous code (font & size changes, line height changes, etc.) that comes in, and leave the basic formatting in place.
Bob Pritchett said:Yes. This is especially helpful in inserting extended verse lists into personal study documents.
Bob Pritchett said:Are you using them in older versions of Word, or are they still working well in the latest, etc.?
(I don't use Word, so I don't have an opinion on this.)
Thanks for your flexibility in considering our desires for the way we'd like Logos4 to work they way we've gotten used to working.

I use this feature constantly, and it hasn't been a problem for me at all. I would say it's improved over v.3, except for the multiple-verses thing which I don't use. Here's what I did: Dragged the Copy Bible Verses icon to my toolbar. I then save it into my major Layouts, so that it always shows on the right side of the screen. It takes up very little real estate, and can be a tab combined with other resources. As a matter of fact, I like the way we can customize the formatting on verses much more easily. I am a writer, and I need one format for books, and another for a daily web devotional that I write. I can quickly select either. The only problem I had was that I got a series of L4 crashes yesterday while trying to edit one of the formats.
I really don't think CBV in the system tray is necessary.

Smart tags are very important to me and the folks in Christian Disciple Makers. We use them for preparing pre-class emails and PowerPoints.

Brothers,
I was finishing up on my sermon Friday in L4 when I notice the absence of the verse list ability. I tried several things, but left my search in frustration. I had determined to ask about this problem when I came across this thread. Thank you for the robust discussion and hopefully for the solution soon. I also use L3's verse copy capabilities and miss such capabilities in L4. I appreciate this forum!

You Have GOT to be kidding me!!! Why didn't I know about this??? Yes, please add this to V4.
When I think of all the wasted keystrokes . . .

My "workaround" is use v4 for study, but have v3 open to nothing, then you still can access smart tags and inserting bible verses. If you have v4 and v3 open at the same time, you need some muscle on you computer.

I was thinking about deleting most of the 3.0 resources except the Bibles. How much would that help 3.0 performance? Will it load quicker.

Hi Philip,
Best thing you can do to help 3.0 performance is NOT to load a workspace & ensure it isn't preloading any notes for you (ensure they're all unchecked in Tools | Options | General | Notes.
Beyond that, AFAIK it's indifferent to what is / isn't on your system.
Blessings, & thanks for all you do for us!
Grace & Peace,

In WordSearch 9, you can click on a verse and have the entire verse highlighted, then click Ctrl-W and have it pasted into Word (or the built in word processor). If Logos had a simpler approach I would be able to stay in it for my simple tasks. Now, I have to shift back and forth between the two Bible software systems. Logos 4 isn't even as simple for copying verses as e-Sword, a free program. I like some of the advanced features, but I'm actually sorry I spent so much money to buy Logos 4. I encourage pastor friends to avoid it. It's almost as unfriendly as Quickverse.

Hi Michael! Congrats on your first post! Sorry you find Logos 4 hard to use. About copy/pasting: are you aware of the Copy Bible Verses (look under "tools" at the top left of your Logos menu bar, right after File/Guides/Tools. You can also open it with ctrl+alt+B. I find it quite easy.
You can choose to copy/paste directly into Word, PowerPoint, OpenOffice, WordPerfect, etc. Change pericopes on the fly. Also, you can change your translation that is copied, even if you are working out of a different translation. It's quite cool. Look under the F1 help file for more menus.
If you haven't already, I recommend checking out www.logos.com/videos and perusing those (choose PC version) for very helpful hints on commonly used tools. also notice the user created videos at the bottom that are helpful with workflow. Now, the next recommendation is way more expensive than free, but I challenge you to find someone who does not find them worth it--albeit a good chunk of change: Morris Proctor training videos. You have a very powerful--THE most powerful Bible software in your possession: Moe will help you squeeze so much more out of it. I don't think you'll feel the same after those. But first, try all those free videos on the other link and use this forum. We'll help you get going.

I encourage you not to give up.

btw, notice, you can type a verse or pericope in the reference box on the copy bible verses panel (CBV) or search for a verse or range in your bible itself, and CBV can be set up to follow whatever, whereever you are at. You don't even have to highlight the verses--although you can.

PS. Take a look at this terrific Wiki article about CBV. Think it'll help you. Also shows other shortcuts and formatting.
