theres been a problem with the mac version of logos in copy bible verses , in may apps and word , but now its not doing it on any , i have platinuim , its frustrating as if preparing for a message , can end spending all time trying to get logos to do simple things like copy a bible verse , i dont want to resort to another bible to accomplish simple task , this has been a problem for a long time , basic things like copy to word , i really appeal to logos to sort it , as people could but this for preaching the word only to find it doeas not do simple copy bible verse into the apps it says , please sort it , its a been a problem for a while

I'm not a Mac user but have seen issues reported about footnotes not being copied across due to an update to Pages but I don't believe I have seen issues regarding CBV not working.
I see that you raised this issue before - at http://community.logos.com/forums/t/83770.aspx - and there a number of Mac users seem to be reporting that it is working.
Please - either in this thread or in your earlier one - provide clear step-by-step details of what you are doing, what you expect to happen and what is happening.
Also give details of versions of Logos, Mac OS, Pages and Word software

all apps are updates including logos , click copy and paste does not work in nearly all , the cheap free bible apps do it , it just needs fixed , its gone on for ages , if the cheap free bible stuff works why cant logos role there sleeves up and fix ,

Darren,
I can appreciate your frustration :-(
Following Graham's reply ... Since I am a Mac user, I am simply helping to validate the issue you are facing. I am able to do a simple Copy and Paste using the CMD+C followed by CMD+V method; I copied a passage from ESV and pasted it on:
- Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, Version 14.4.5 (work as it is supposed to do)
- Pages, Version 5.5 (Content/Format correct, however there is no citation)
I am running OS X 10.10 and Logos for Mac 5.2b SR5. Let me know if you need other information for comparison to nail down the issue.

Please provide a screen shot of your program settings as there are setting to control the copying of footnotes etc.

Thanks for the screenshot.
MJ was asking for a shot of your "Program Settings" available under the Tool Menu - as that controls how citations and footnotes are copied
Have you tried the CMD-C/V method that LimJK mentioned above? If so, did that work for you?

Daren,
I have done some experiment following what I see in your Screen Shot using the "Copy Bible Verse" Tool from Logos. The following is what I can confirm:
- With MS Word for Mac 2011 Ver 14.4.5 Opened first, "Copy Bible Verse" Tool actually works as advertised
- With Pages 5.5 the "Copy Bible Verse" Tool does not work; BUT, Pages 5.5 was only available yesterday with OS X 10.10 ...
- With TextEdit ... it does not work too; maybe Logos could remove it from the selection list this is really not a word processor.
Suggest you consider using the popular CMD+C and CMD+V pair for Copy and Paste, unless you need special formatting requirement.
All the best.

I think the paste is going into the verse entry box in the Copy Bible Text. It appears to be a bug in the Mac version. I am running Yosemite.

This just started happening to me (copy & paste button won't paste in Word) after I updated to osx Yosemite yesterday.

I have tried this and cannot reproduce the problem. Though I don't use MS Word.
Apps used were Logos 5.2b SR5; Pages 4.3; MindNode 1.10.6.

Hope the problem is resolved for those of you who are experiencing it.

On Windows Ctrl-C/V works for a passage as well as a verse and I assume that Cmd-C/V does on Mac as well.
Darren peter wright said:copy and paste tab
Do you mean the "Copy Bible Verses" tool?

Contact details are at https://www.logos.com/contact - I would suggest you contact Customer Service
But they will need details to try and track this down - as others have posted in this thread it does seem to be working (most of the time)
Darren peter wright said:when studying or doing a message i want to paste a passage not just a verse
As above I would expect Cmd-C/V to do this

As others have pointed out in this thread it seems to work fine in their context.
Can you provide a clearly laid out example (with screenshots) where this doesn't work for you so someone running a Mac can check?
Or can you try the examples others have given above which work in their context and see if they work for you?

Darren,
What version of MS Word for Mac 2011 are you using. I mentioned that mine is 14.4.5. Hoping to be useful to you as we have similar environment and therefore trying to help validate ... so that you can find more Mac users with the same problem ... as a stronger case to raise to Logos.
PS: How much memory do you have? from your screenshots you seem to have quite a few things running. Might want to (a) restart your Mac (b) with only Logos and MS Word to see if it makes any differences.
I understand your frustration, just trying to help :-)

I am using Yosemite, Word 2011 for Mac and Logos 5.2b-sr5. In the "Copy Bible Verses" tab, the "copy and paste" command will only work for the first export to Word. If you use the "copy" command and then go to the Word document and paste using "command-v" everything works as it should every time. This is strange behavior indeed.

Darren,
See my screen shot below. What I did
- Open ESV
- Open Copy Bible Verse Tool (setting -> Fully formatted ... ESV ... MS Word)
- Open a Blank Word Document or an existing document
- In the Ref Box of Copy Bible Verse Tool, I entered Matt 1-5 ... for (5 chapters)
- Click on Copy and Paste
PS: To update MS Word for Mac 2011, click "Help" in Menu bar, select Check update in the drop down. Sorry, do not know how else to help. Good night.
