[ACK] Smart Tags broken in 6.3 SR1

Hi Bradley,

I wholeheartedly second this request! After upgrading to Office 2016 (on Windows 10) a few days ago, I immediately noticed that when the Additional Actions menu that appears when you right-click a passage only lists two items:

Open Bible to Ephesians 3:2
Passage Guide

I crucially need the Insert Passage item since I use that all the time! Please let us know if this issue can be fixed. Otherwise I'm tempted to write my own Office Add-In because this feature is so essential for me. Thanks!

Thank you, Timothy Brown, this did the trick!  [:D]

Windows was crashing just by scrolling over "Additional Actions." 

Now it is working beautifully and allowing Logos features.

1. Most users can probably skip to # 2 of Tim's list. 

2. In Windows Explorer, you will find the file in your download folder, Continue with # 3. 

Yes, Bryan deserves the credit and thanks!

Also - for what it's worth, I Had CCleaner scan my registry, and it reported a "ActiveX/COM Issue" :

ActiveX/COM Issue LogosBibleSoftware.Application - {FD24A0E8-C3F2-4821-A456-35DA2DC4BB8F} HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\LogosBibleSoftware.Application

Maybe this is a side effect of the regsvr32 command failing.

When I do the right click on a verse I too get the Open the Bible to... and the Passage Guide, but I do not get Replace with Passage or Copy Bible Verse.

This is because the Logos Smart Tag has not yet been updated to support Office 2016. A future update to the Logos Smart Tag will resolve this issue.

Good! Thanks Bradley.

Unfortunately the link you provided doesn't work.  I get a notice "access denied" from what appears to be a secured page.

Glen, the link is working for me. 

Unbelievable! With the arrival of Logos 6.7, SmartTags no longer work (again). Does anyone have an idea what the secret might be to fixing it this time around? It's a feature I use every time I use Logos and is a huge time-saver for me. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! I am NOT using Word 2016. I'm using Word 2010.

I have the same problem.

“%LOCALAPPDATA%\Logos\Logos.exe” /register doesn't work

Hans

I suppose you mean: “%LOCALAPPDATA%\Logos\System\Logos.exe” /register? But that doesn't work for me either. Do I make a mistake?

Dave, I'm having the same issue as AJ. I tried your register command, with the System folder, and it fails. Mine indicates the User module does not load and the module cannot be found. But I know absolutely that the dll is in the specified path. I've tried everything, including copying the dll to windows/sysWOW64 and trying to register it there as well, but nothing has worked. I'm trying to figure out what changed with Logos 6.7 in addition to reverting back to the Logos\System folder for the L4SmrtTg.dll. Any further ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for replying, Dave. The second command I used was: regsvr32 %LOCALAPPDATA%\Logos\System\L4SmrtTg.dll

This is the one that results in the error message that the module could not load and could not be found.

The first command, which was successful (at least there was no error message after executing it), was "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Logos4\System\LogosCom.exe" /register

Dave, your direction on the other SmartTags post to repair Logos through Control Panel did the trick! Many thanks!

Initially I had no Logos Smart Tag in Word 2016. It is now fully functional in Word 2016 (32-bit) and Logos 6.7 RC1 after manually registering the Smart tag (dll). Note that the Smart Tag has returned to the ...\Logos\System\ folder in v. 6.7

I had success in getting Smart Tags working again in Word 2013 by following the wiki instructions re manual registering. The key was figuring out that for me the correct folder was \Logos5\System. It doesn't take too long to run the commands indicated in the wiki, trying the different possibilities (Logos\System, Logos4\System,  Logos5\System or Verbum\System).

I've even gone right into the System folder to register the .dll

Sorry, that should read 'Bryan Albert'

Thanks Dave, I have Win 7 (64bit), MS Office 2010 32bit.

My Logos in not in the C: directory having put it in \Program Files so the path name is \Program Files\Logos4\System\L4SmrTg.dll

I checked the registry as follows:

1. Does “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{319A0316-DF84-4B3C-8117-349B7E98E613}” exist? If so, delete it. (This did exist so I deleted it)
2. “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{81490292-5570-4D02-A2AC-7B828DBD0A8A}\1.0\0\win64” should exist and contain the path to LogosCom.exe. (This did exist and gave path)
3. If “HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{81490292-5570-4D02-A2AC-7B828DBD0A8A}\1.0\0\win32” exists, delete it. (Did not exist)

I have applied the basic command line you indicated taking account of \Logos4 and obviously it couldn't find the module.

I then used the actual path for my system and was able to register logos.exe, and then tried to register the dll module as below with the error message as indicated:

Thanks Dave, and Bradley.  They did the trick allowing it to be registered. But then I noticed my MS Word had dropped the logos smart tag. A computer reboot brought it back into play. So all working again now.  I appreciate your patience and skills.

I just experienced the same issue all over again: Smart Tags broke.

I tried to do what worked for me before: applying the fix recommended by Timothy Brown, but this time, even such fix did not work.  

This is very annoying,

Here is a copy of the error I receive when I try to RegisteSmartTags.
