citations
Is it only me, but since I got L9, if I copy text from a resource and paste into a document? I do not/ cannot get a citation at the bottom of the page with a footnote number tagging it to the text. It prints if right below the pasted text.

I have been doing this for years. copy text from, say, a commentary, paste it in WORD.
Hasn't worked since L9.

Sounds like it's coming in as an endnote instead of a footnote. I'm not sure why this is happening for you. It works fine for me, and I don't know of a setting in Logos or Word that would control this.
However, once it's in Word, you can convert back and forth between endnotes and footnotes pretty easily. Right-click on the endnote or footnote and choose "Convert to Footnote" or "Convert to Endnote" and it will switch where the note appears. Endnotes work just like footnotes except they appear at the end of the text, whereas footnote appear at the bottom of the page.

Thank you for responding, Rose.
I have been doing this for years, and now I have a problem.
I'm not getting end-notes. It puts the citation a few lines after the text and without the little number.
I just did it now with a different paste option in WORD and that seems to work.
I should have asked about my other problem here as well.
If the text contains abbreviations, and technical works have a lot of them, Logos prints out every one with its full form in the footnote section. So I could have a small paste from BDAG and get a full page of these in a footnote.
I have had this problem for years. Is there any way to just get the bibliographic citation without all this other stuff? I can do it manually, but it seems to be harder to do in L9.
