Is it possible to change the view settings of the NASB95 so it's not one-verse-per-line? So it's in paragraph format?
No - sorry. I believe this is to provide consistency with the printed edition
The only reason I ask is because I have a couple print editions that are not one-verse-per-line.
What year were the copies with paragraph formatting copyrighted?
The 1977 edition is paragraph formatted, when bible text only is selected I think. It's a tad pricey though, currently $44.99.
1995
I bought the 1977 Logos NASB mainly because my first paper study bible was that edition. I was pleased that the text could be paragraph formatted - bonus.
I don't know if know this or not, but in the NASB95 a verse number in bold marks the beginning of a new paragraph.
This is something I have requested a while back. I disagree with Graham's assessment. I too have print editions in paragraph format. Also, the other major Bible software producers have the NASB95 in paragraph form.

Apologies - that seemed to be the general concensus from earlier threads on this issue
I prefer the current format. That is one of the reasons the NASB appeals to me.
I like the ability to be able to switch between the two. When preaching, it's nice to have the line by line because you for sure know the verse separation and can't get tripped up. But, for general reading, I read better in paragraph format.

One option for NASB95 paragraph format is a personal book Bible.

Yes, I think I remember the Pradis edition was paragraph enable; IIRC it could be toggled between the two.
Is there anyone that can link to where I can find a personal book edition of it?
Logos wiki => User Contributed Personal Books includes public domain NASB predecessor personal book Bible => American Standard Version (ASV) 1901 (Without Chapter and Verse Numbers, Red Letter) with updated New Testament
Thankful for Logos 6 Bible Text Only visual filter.
One final comment on this topic. As it stands now, you can change any paragraphed formatted text into verse form. You cannot not change in the other direction. That is why I would like to see the NASB in paragraph form.
Although I hope Logos can eventually meet your needs by adding an NASB95 paragraph view as a user controlled option, I would very respectfully oppose such an option if it causes Logos to make any changes to the current NASB95 one-verse-per-line formatting.
I use Logos almost exclusively for verse by verse studying. The NASB95 in its current format is perfect for that use which is one reason it is my preferred bible translation. I’ve noticed other bible translations using the One Verse Per Line visual filter do not have the same uniform and consistent line spacing between verses found in the NASB95. The bold verse numbers indicating a new paragraph (only found in the NASB95) allow me to recognize paragraph breaks while continuing to study verse by verse. In addition, the italicized pericope headings of the NASB95 are displayed in a more easily viewable manner than other translations using the One Verse Per Line visual filter.
Again, I realize you are not advocating removing the current one verse per line formatting but only adding a user controlled optional view. I simply wanted to express my preference for the current format and why I find it perfectly fits my needs. Hopefully Logos will be able to accommodate both of our preferences.
The Logos 3 version of NASB is paragraph formatted.
eg John 3

Jon, while this is far from ideal and has obvious limitations, you can also use the Copy Bible Verses feature to reformat the text. You can either read it in that window or even possibly export it and make your own PB out of it.
