I'm attempting to make a Passage List of an Entire Book (The Divine Covenants by A W Pink). It is a 307 page book. When I select the entire book then use the add selected text option in to passage list I only get 45 references. Doews anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks
Takes a minute for it to search, but this is the only way I know to do this. Perhaps others can advise you better.

Hi Paul - and welcome to the forums
Paul Thompson: When I select the entire book then use the add selected text option in to passage list I only get 45 references
I think the problem is in trying to select the entire book - I have just tried it and it ended up just selecting the last chapter which then returns the 45 references in that chapter.

This looks like good advice to me

Select "Print", open as much of the book as you can, select "copy to clipboard", then in the passage list select "From ClipBoard"
Works using the beta. I don't have a stable version to test on at the moment. I clicked at the top of the book, grabbed the scroll box and drug it to end, then shift click at the end to select the entire text. I then used the Add.... Selected Text. 93 Passages added. Again, this is on beta and not tested on stable.

I've never managed to do that - I always lose some portion of the text
Nevermind! You're right, Graham. I didn't notice that it only selected the last part of the book. Strange behavior. There does not seem to be any way to select an entire book. Maybe it's limiting it so that there is never more that the equivalent of 100 printed pages selected? But that doesn't seem quite right either from the behavior...
EDIT: Selection is just buggy. Was able to drag and select entire book after several tries where it sporadically loses part of selection. 1105 Passages added to passage guide. Selecting the entire text this way is slow and unreliable.

abondservant's count above was 1,719 (and I've just got the same) so it is still possible you have missed some or - in some way - these two methods are producing different results.

Seems like a fair statement
I'm not at all sure that it's supposed to work - may be related to the 100-page limit for Print/Export as well but that's speculation.
