Bug?: Copy Bible Verse styles and paragraph formating
I am getting a strange result using copy bible verse and the new style feature.
I have set up a style to indent .5, single space, use Calibri font, Dark red, 10 point. However, whether I use this style, or even other standard Word styles, I keep getting paragraph spacing of 1.15 and indent of 0. The font, colors and sizes all take on the proper characteristics, but not the paragraph settings.
The name of the style in Word of the copied verses (when selected in Word) matches the LOGOS name, so it is picking the correct style during the copy/paste.vIt just does not automatically change the paragraph format to match that style.
I am aware that Word will not change something that was "directly formated" at the source location. So it is possible that the copy/paste from LOGOS is retaining "direct formated" characteristics (however, this is indicated in the data).
However, because I use a lot of custom styles in Word, (discertation levels, outlining levels, and ENDNOTE), it may be that I have something in Word that is not quite right.
After a lot of effort trying to track this down, I am stumped. Is this working properly for other people? Specifically, style paragraph formatting, such as line spacing and indenting in from the edge.

Hi Danny,
I'm not able to reproduce the problem you're seeing. Can you add screenshots of your custom style setups in both Word and Logos?
Thanks,

I was able to reproduce this with only the %ForEachVerseStyle included in my CBV style. Previously I had both %HeaderStyle and %ForEachVerseStyle set to the same Word style, which made it seem that both were working, since everything was indented.
A fix for this should make it into the next 4.0b beta.

Melissa,
Thanks. I thought I was going crazy.

Melissa,
I am still seeing an error in 40b RC1.
Style:
%HeaderStyle = scripture
%ForEachVerseStyle = scripture
%NoRedLetter
%NoFootnotes
%NoCitation=Header
([Version]) [FullPassageRef] <p>
=ForEachVerse
<sup>[VerseNum]</sup> [VerseText]=Footer
The header is not taking formatting at all. It shows the Normal style. The verse does not indent although it picks up the Scripture style properly.
Edit: I figured out how to attach the Word doc

Danny,
If you add the following attribute to your style, it should work:
%FooterStyle = scripture
For copy bible verse styles that open a paragraph in the header and close it in the footer, both %HeaderStyle and %FooterStyle must be set to apply the formatting to the paragraph. Even though you haven't specified a footer, what's happening behind the scenes is that it is closing the <p> tag for you.

Bingo!! Works great. Very quick response. You guys do an outstanding job. Thanks much.
I figured it was something that I was missing. Others had not seen the problem. I use Word styles extensively in everyday stuff and they can be tricky.
I would like to say that this use of Word styles is an excellent feature. It (almost) makes up for the lack of Smart Tags.

While on this topic, is there any plans to make the following available for the header?
[FullBookName]
[ChapterNum]When I copy a verses I would like it not to show the verses at the header level, but only at the verse level (see below). The syntax would imply that I could do what I want to do, but the selections above only work on the verse level. This was discussed previously, but I don't know if there was any resolution (is it a problem or working as designed?). Probably, should at least indicate in Help that these functions only operate at the verse level if that is the way it is going to work.
When I copy I get:
John 3:16-17 16 For God ... 17 ...Instead of John 3 16 For God ... 17 ...
