This may be an old topic for some... I thought the macros installed in MS word (that I downloaded for e-sword) would automatically copy the verse(s) to MS Word from e-sword when I click on the macro icon... Instead I'm brought to the Copy Verses Pop-up where I need to enter the verse via the pull downs... I thought that if I copied the verse in MS Word (CNTL-C), then clicked the macro icon, the verse would automatically be copied... What am I missing?

It sounds like you are going "the long way round".

The macros are made to allow you to select/change the transltion, do searches, and select verses (even spanning chapters) from the Word window without the need to "bounce" between the Word and e-Sword windows (in fact e-Sword doesn't even need to be running!). When you hit the "accept" or copy in the drop down it copies to Word.

This can even be taken a step further with an e-Sword utility called Hot Key which allows you to access the functionality of the macos using hotkeys.

Thanks, I appreciate the post... I am using Hot-Key ... I think I understand...
