Exporting multiple verses of Text Comparison to Word

I'm using Logos 7.2, but I'm also a BibleWorks user. I'm looking at making some changes, so this is not a 'who is better' complaint. I'm really hoping Logos can accomplish a task that I regularly do.

For my Greek students, I like to generate a list with the Greek NT and below it a variety of English versions in something of a literal to dynamic order. (E.g,, NA28, NASB95, KJV 1900, NRSV, NET, TNIV, MSG). What I then do is add questions and comments below each verse highlighting grammatical and translation issues that students are to answer. In BibleWorks, once I set up the parameters I want (book abbreviations, formatting, where the reference occurs, superscripting, font, etc.), it's a hotkey and click away in Microsoft Word to generate a range of verses set up with each verse. It looks like this:

In Logos, the Text Comparison tool does a great job of generating such a list, and I like to use the vertical layout so that it's easier to scan down and see how the texts relate. The Text Comparison tool, however, is not editable, so I try to use the Print/Export it works fine if I just do a single verse:

If I try to do a verse range, however, the versions are grouped in paragraphs like this:

Is there any way to get each verse separate when I do a range? Or do I need to do it one verse at a time?

(It does sort of work if I use horizontal / column layout, but the columns are so skinny that some words don't even fit on a single line when I'm comparing 7 texts. I tried used the landscape layout in Print/Export which looks better, but there must be a bug because-- whether creating a file, copying it, or pasting it in to an existing Word file that is set up for landscape orientation--it creates columns as if using portrait mode.)

Thanks for any help!
