Copying and pasting selection - how to get citation included?
I'm using B8 and when selecting some text from the Bible and then pasting into TextEdit, etc. the citation (verse ref, etc) is not copied. I seem to recall it being copied with the Windows version.
Any ideas how (if) I can get the citation to come along for the ride?

Hi Stuart
It doesn't seem to copy the citation into TextEdit possibly because it doesn't have a footnotes capability.
Works for 'Pages' though!
I haven't tried the 'Copy Bible Verses' panel though - that might be productive.

Pasting into Open Office on Mac (v3.2.1) yields the following:
The footnote isn't a footnote (though Open Office supports footnotes) - but at least the citation came along with the text. I'm not sure where the </HTML bit comes from, though.
Selecting the same text from the Windows version of Logos (run inside Parallels 5) and pasting into Open Office on Mac (v3.2.1) yields the following:
with the footnote correctly inserted, shown above by the superscript 1 and below by the actual footnote at the bottom of the page:
Interestingly, the Windows version also strips out the superscripted cross-ref note marker (super-scripted b on "I am..."), which is much cleaner than what the Mac version is doing.
Any chance the Mac behaviour can be changed to match the Windows behaviour?

Footnotes operate correctly in Word 2008 from L4 Mac.

That is controlled in Program Settings in Windows
The same settings are available in the Mac version, but they may not be fully operational yet.

That is probably in the plan. Right now, other things might have priority.

I learn something new every day - thanks Jack. I had assumed that the Windows and Mac versions would use the same settings, given that they are synchronizing to the same Logos "cloud".

Appears footnote end tag </HTML missing closing > for Open Office 3.2.1 and 3.3.0 Beta 1:
Edit: since same Logos clipboard contents paste OK into Pages '09 and Word 2008, wonder if OpenOffice project needs a bug to track and fix ?
Keep Smiling [:)]
