Copy with Alternate Formatting
To change the format of your chosen text:

-
Click the Bible version drop-down menu and make a selection to choose which Bible you would like to use.

Note: You can use this tool even if the program you are using does not appear in the list. Simply copy the text to your system clipboard.
Copy with Custom Styles
You can create a new style or customize an existing style (It’s typically easier to customize an existing style than to start from scratch). To customize an existing style:
-
Click the panel menu icon
in the Copy Bible Verses panel and select Edit Style: [style name].
-
From the text pane, you can add or remove formatting markup.
Note: For a complete list of formatting options and markup, see the Logos Help documentation.
Copy Non-sequential Verses
You can copy as many different verses as you want at one time. To do so, include a comma or semicolon between passages, e.g. John 1:12, 1 John 3:1, Romans 8:16.
Note: Do not include a comma or semicolon after the final reference.
