Is there a clever way to create an Old Testament visual filter of quotes that are made in the New Testament? I figured out how to make a wild card visual filter of O.T. quotes in the N.T. using the Holman Christian Standard Bible, but this visual filter shows up in the N.T. I want an O.T. visual filter. I thought it would be useful to see where the N.T. used the O.T. as I was reading the O.T. Thanks!

This is an excellent request...and I am anxiously awaiting Steve Clark's answer to it. :-) He seems to really enjoy this kind of challenge...

Kaye,
get behind me .... (you shouldn't put me to the test)
i could not find a way to highlight all the words quoted from the OT, but found a way to highlight the footnotes
(click on image to view larger view in your browser)
1. Create a new Visual Filter.
2. Select Basic, your Bible with footnotes (ESV), and Footnote Text.
3. You will have to create a separate entry for each OT book (e.g. <psalms>, <deut>). Then select a highlighting method. Notice the Purple highlighted footnote marker in the ESV for OT quote in Matt 4. Also notice the custom highlight (that i just created) next to Duet quotes in Matt 4.
The down side to this is that L4 will show all footnotes highlighted in the OT as well.Anyway this is the best i could do

Sorry for the temptation but I always learn something from your posts. :-) And I appreciate the effort!
Kaye Anderson:Sorry for the temptation but I always learn something from your posts. :-)
i realized that and was joking back at you
Hope this idea might help.
I knew you were teasing! I am a visual learner and I always love the step by step screenshots that get posted here and in the wiki. I start with those, play around with it, expand on it and learn a whole lot that helps me.

One question, Steve: how did you make the highlighting style with Text Before that has a colored box around it? I can't see a way to do that.
Rosie Perera:how did you make the highlighting style with Text Before that has a colored box around it?
i used Paint.net to create the image, then created custom Highlighting styles using those images (right click on the small images below to copy them to your computer)
Edit: Rosie i am sure you already know this, but posting for others
The image below shows the highlight style editor and where i added the image. Just click on where the image is in the editor and in the pop-up box select choose file.
steve clark:Hope this idea might help.
Thanks Steve for your input. I guess you realize you getting quite a fan club.
But isn't this backwards?
Didn't the original poster want to see the filter show up in the OT?

Here's how I did it for the OT.
Logos needs to add a new filter type that will highlight whole verses based on a passage list. This wildcard stuff just doesn't cut it.

Steve, I believe your idea would work for the Old Testament too--if you set it up to search for NT references in the OT footnotes.
Thanks Todd and all who helped! Yes Logos does need a little help here. I was scratching my head trying to figure this one out. I appreciate your help.
Great work Todd
I just tried it. Unfortunately Logos repetadely just crashes for a couple of seconds on and off, on and off. I had to turn the visual filter off.

Jerry,
How did you construct your wild card visual filter of OT quotes in the NT?
Andreas Holmberg: Great work Todd I just tried it. Unfortunately Logos repetadely just crashes for a couple of seconds on and off, on and off. I had to turn the visual filter off.
Mac or PC? You should tell Logos. It shouldn't be crashing. Or do you mean it's freezing up? (A crash is when the program stops and goes away completely)
I experienced some crashes while trying out different things to get my filter to work, but I couldn't narrow down the cause. I may have to see if I can get it to crash again.
