NASB Formatted Differently from Others?

Greg Perry said:

s it me or is it the only way to display the NASB?

I don't use the NASB, so I went and checked. It's not just you...mine formats the same way.

the NASB translation is officially "line by line," so it is presented this way in the text.

That being said, the bold verse numbers do indicate a new paragraph. [Y]

if you have the NASB 77 it displays in paragraph- I use it along side my 95- I wish there was a paragraph version of the NASBU, would buy it in a heart beat.

I just upgraded to Logos 6 from Logos 3, and to my great disappointment realize that the NASB version is single verse format.  With the amount of passages that I copy and paste into powerpoint, this is almost a game changer.  Why would they have the paragraph format in version 3 but not in version 6?  

Are you sure you're comparing the same versions?  As Whyndell said above, both the original (1977) version and the updated NASB (1995) are available in Logos. The original is in paragraph format, but I'm pretty sure the NASB95 resource has always been one verse per line, which is how the print copies are too.  If you had a license to the original NASB, then you should still have access to it in Logos 6. However, the NASB95 is the main supported one that has an interlinear.

Also, if you were using L3, you might need to do something to make sure your old resources are included in L6. (I never used L3 and am a Mac user... I <think> I read that you might need to do something, but I might be wrong. I have been before.)

If you were using L3, you needed to synchronize your resources with the server on a regular basis so that Logos knew about your current licenses.  It's possible that some things could get missed if this didn't happen every time new resources were installed.  Plus, the L3 license server isn't available anymore. Customer service would be needed to resolve any L3 license issues now.

I found that I am able to buy the 1997 version, which is in paragraph format, for $25.  But I'd like to avoid that version as the poetic texts include the thees and thous as well as some minor differences in translation throughout.  It just doesn't make sense, as I am sure that in version 3 I had NASB 95 in paragraph format.  That was this morning before I upgraded.  It's just hard to accept considering the amount of money invested and the amount of time I spend using the program.  

This is Bible text checked; without checked, the space between verses is eliminated (but still a new line each verse)

I guess Libby didnt have it all together after all.

I would be careful crossing the street these next few days. [li]

I am upgraded now, so I can't use the old program.  I had version three with the free upgrade to 4 (same texts as version three).  

Just to avoid confusion (and fingers crossed as Alabama crosses streets), Libby (Libronix) runs happily along with Logos6 .... that is, assuming a 32 platform.  Libby's Bellingham server is another issue of course; one needs Libby's license file.

I'm not sure what your first comment means.  I don't know what to think anymore.  I feel like you guys are convincing me that I'm insane.  But I used the NASB 95 almost exclusively.  The first thing I noticed when I got the new program was "oh, the format is different,"  and spent a half hour trying to change it.  I'll have to go check my old discs from version 3 and see if I was reading from the 77 version.  But someone else commented that other Bible programs do have the 95 in paragraph format, so if any Logos people are listening, maybe it can be worked in the future.  That's all I got.  Thanks for the comments.  

So, I haven't had libronix on my computer in years.
