Superscript verse numbers

Post by John45 »

I am aware that Costas has chosen not to make this available. However, since that is not available, I must use another bible program for verse/passage copying, so I would greatly appreciate it if Costas would revisit the issue and make it available to the users.

On a second note, it would be great if users could enter a string of references and have the verse text output to a clipboard or to the program they are using to receive the text.

This is truly a great program despite these issues.

I think this is possible. There are some shortcut keys mentioned in the user help.

Hi Jon,

The explanation regarding superscript verse numbers is that I now have some 9,000 pages of journaling with many scripture quotations included. The quotations have the verse numbers in superscript text. I am asking Costas to revisit this issue of not having superscript verse number capability in TW because I need that capability if I am going to use TW as the bible program from which I copy verses or passages. Without it, I must use another bible program to copy from.

Hi Jon,

Regarding the shortcut keys, I looked at them and see nothing there answering to my request/suggestion. What were you thinking of?

So you don't want superscript numbers when copying directly from the Bible view? Can you use the copy verses instead? Ctrl+C will copy a single verse with settings of the Copy verses dialog. There are some options under Advanced to tweak.

What exact format do you want?

I was thinking that if you were in a Word document and had a verse or two you want to quote, you can set a checkbox in the Preferences Clipboard Monitor. It registers Ctrl+Shift+V to paste back to the clipboard.
So you select the reference, Ctrl+C to copy it, then Ctrl+Shift+V to paste it back to the Clipboard, then Ctrl+V to paste it in you Word document.

Thanks for the explanation, Jon.

However, that methodology loses any references and that doesn't work for me. This is why I am suggesting some modifications to Verse Copy Management. It is my understanding that unless something it changed there to accommodate the need for superscript verse numbers, I will not be able to use it or TW for verse copying and must use another bible program instead.

So you want to have superscript numbers?
If so you can add some markup to the copy verses dialog around the %v placeholder and run a macro in Word to change those to superscript.
Or just macro that superscripts the color of the verse number.
