Dear Logos: Please use same name for all references to the same resource – Thanks

Am working on figuring out what I already have and what is new to me in the Verbum sets. 

But the name used in ‘basic’ though ‘portfolio’ lists is not always the same as in the ‘Verbum’ sets
and sometimes cannot be found on the products page exactly as listed.

    Sorry about this. We'll be straightening out the inconsistencies in the Verbum lists as we get them fully functional.

    I agree, but David, could you please use the normal forum font and size when posting? Your posts look like this when they arrive in my e-mail, and I can't read them:

    Thanks. I suspected that. On Mac I can paste with Shift-Opt-Cmd-V to make it show correctly. I would imagine that's Shift-Opt-Ctrl-V on PC?

    There's no "Opt" key on a PC keyboard. Paste will be simply Ctrl-V, but I don't know whether it keeps formatting in HTML style somehow. Best to turn it off anyway.

    There's an awesome little free utility program for Windows called PureText that lets you paste plain text only (with no formatting); it strips out all the formatting that's in the clipboard as you paste. You can assign it to a hot key (I use Windows key + V, so it's very similar to normal Ctrl + V for regular pasting).

    You can download it from here: http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/

    Note that it presently has conflicts with Windows + V on Windows 8, so if you're using Win 8 you'll have to pick a different hotkey until he releases an update to fix that problem.

    As an FYI, one of the many great advantages to Chrome as a browser is it always gives a right-click context option to either paste (with formatting) or paste as plain text. So many web sites etc. have formatting, this is incredibly useful.

    If you used this, you could leave your Word font size to what you preferred David, and then paste as text and it would be at the default font size in the forums!  Just sayin' ....

    Wow! I never knew that. Thanks! And it's even better than PureText, because it doesn't delete the formatting that's in the clipboard. You can still paste the copied stuff somewhere else with the formatting if you want.

    Of course that works only within Chrome, and I do come across other times when I want to paste plain text into another app that would otherwise accept (and mess up) the formatting. So PureText is useful to have around.

    I thought it is Windows 8 feature, but yes, I use Chrome, so now I know. Very useful.

    There is, only it's called Alt instead.[;)] In fact, my Logitech/Mac keyboard has two names plus a symbol on that key...

    Are you saying there is no PC equivalent to Mac's Shift-Opt-Cmd-V??? How do you do without it? I use that combination dozens of times a day. It drives me nuts that it doesn't work in LibreOffice's spreadsheets, and it drove me nuts while it didn't work in Logos' Notes.
