TyreeWD3 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Quick question: Is there an easy way to transfer the listed verses from a search to Word document or User Tool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 This worked for me: 1. Run a search 2. Select all of the verses 3. Go to File>Save Text Selection>RTF (you could also use Plain Text). The RTF file can be easily imported into Word (or any word processor). The Plain Text can be imported into a User Tool. I need to see if RTF can be imported into a User Tool.

Ken Simpson Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) From the help files: "You can import four types of files: PDF, plain ASCII text, HTML formatted, and Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG - non-unicode)." https://accordancefiles2.com/helpfiles/14-macOS/index.htm#t=mac_14%2Fcontent%2Ftopics%2F05_dd%2Fimporting_to_user_tool.htm&rhsearch=user tool import&rhhlterm=user tool tools import importing Edited January 7 by Ken Simpson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried just copy and paste into Word? Works for me. Needs a little format tweaking but usually very usable.

I use this or copy as and then select no superscript to strip out the references. Its also useful to manually select text rather than select the verse and copy that way. By using old school select text, you get headings and verse numbers as displayed. lots of options, so can vary them depending on what you are trying to do at the moment.

I usually don’t strip out the superscripts for what I do, but yes, most people would want to. I get it 🙂 The one I really love is when you have a whole bunch of verses from a search, and you can select all, then copy as references. Magic!

TyreeWD3 Posted January 7 Author Share Posted January 7 Thanks everyone for your responses. I didn't know if there was a Word macro out there or a "right click" function I was missing out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 @Joe Weaks might have some insights on automation. He's excellent at this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbcvida Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 can you use option-command a to insert verses into Word - I'm not sure if this is built into Accordance or a feature from the Accordance Exchange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can for sure automate a workflow in this area. Especially when using Word because a pro-scripted can do crazy things with VBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you can only insert from references that you highlight, or type. It can't include any text in the dialog box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
