Randy Cue Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 The text of commentaries and Scripture follow the convention of using small caps for LORD the Devine covenant name of God. When passages that contain that name are exported, they show up as LORD (all regular caps). I would like to be able to export those passages and retain the small caps that show in the text on screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I'd like to see this, too. However, it could be worse. I just checked a competitor's application to see what happens to the small caps when copied, and the resulting paste into Word changed LORD to Lord. That's changing from the Divine Name to adonai in actuality and not just as a substitution for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 The issue has always been that small caps is a Style which is not supported in the clipboard, so it cannot be transferred to another program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Cue Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 At least one of you competitors has solved the problem, so it can be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screen Shot 2017-11-11 at 1.51.52 PM.png Here is an example. Well, your example is from Word 2011. It's broken for them in the current version of Word because copying and pasting in the current version of Word for the Mac is a challenge for everyone.

Michel Gilbert Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) I wish we had an option to choose LORD, whether regular or small caps, or YHWH. Presumably it would be easy to program. Besides personal preferences for the Kethib or the Qere, if one toggled to all YHWH and exported that, one could do a simple search and replace to change it to small caps LORD if they wanted to. I think an option would please many. Edit: I meant to keep all the LORDs in our English Bibles, or toggle them all to YHWH. But, I just thought it might break copyright rules.

kpang808 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) What's wrong with all caps of LORD...I am missing the point...LORD is pointing out in the OT that it is YHWH...Lord is just Adonai Edited November 11, 2017 by keithp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just not the convention of the modern English translations. Add to that, this is simply a request for a feature.
