Like the title says, the Verbum product "The New Dictionary of Theology" does not allow copy/paste. Is this a bug? or is it intended

    the Verbum product "The New Dictionary of Theology"

    Are you referring to this product? (It's the only one I can find with that title.)

    If so, there might be something wrong on your end since I can get it to copy and paste like any other resource.

    There's also this one (which they don't sell anymore):

    But I've tried it in that one too, and it works for me.

    David, can you say a bit more about what you're trying to copy and paste from it? Is it a very long section? (I know that Logos does limit how much you can copy and paste from a book.) Or are you trying to copy text from the description in the Info panel of the book (Logos currently doesn't allow that in any book, though it's been requested before.)

    Otherwise, if it's a run-of-the-mill copy/paste just like you can do in any other book, then I'm quite puzzled. Faithlife might need to get involved and see diagnostic log files.

    Actually, it is that NDTHEO product. I guess I didn't know it was no longer available.

    And suddenly this morning I could copy/paste so I guess it was a glitch on my Mac.

    Apologies for the false alarm

    This is horrible, this is one of my favourite works... Anyone who does not have it Search down a copy of The Collegeville Catholic Reference Library CDROM It is worth it.

    I found it useful too over the years. I remember that library collection being my first Catholic purchase back when the company was called "Libronix". (My first ever purchase was a piece of remaindered Libronix bible software I found in a used bookstore--I got it because it was the only one which had the NAB in it).

    I wonder how different my writing and research would have been over the next ten years if I had spent that money elsewhere.

    Too bad these works aren't available anymore--maybe it's a licensing issue?
