Is it possible to insert an image into the margin of my Bible in association with a particular reference?
Yes - you need to create a Highlighting style which includes an image and then apply it to a reference.

Please post back if this doesn't clarify things
Thank you for the response. I saw this in the help file, and kind of knew I would get this response. But, figured it would give me the lead into what I really want. I have 100's of images that I want to associate with passages - 1 to 1 associations. Following the suggestion means that I would create 100's of highlighting styles to accomplish the goal. Is there any "cleaner" way?
My next question will be - can I automate this programmaticaly:-)
Thank you so much for the help.

Can you explain what you want to accomplish? What are these pictures? e.g. if those were scans from a bible in another language, or diagramming flows you want to have visible, a much better approach would be to create a Personal Book with bible references in it and have it flow alongside your bible in a second tab (like study bible notes)
Okay - that's a cool idea! I might try that just to see how it feels.
But, I think I'm after something different. I use MemLok to memorize scripture. It uses the concept of word picture association to improve memory skill. I want to take the pictures I have in MemLok and insert them into my Bible so that I can relate to my pictures while I'm studying my Bible.

I think NB.Mick's suggestion is the way to go here.
With the pictures in a Personal Book and linked to specific Bible passages they could track where you are in your Bible. It wouldn't be quite the same as having them in your Bible but - as you point out above - creating 100s of highlights could be a challenge and there isn't any supported way to automate this (and I'm not personally aware of any unsupported way either!)
Please note this approach wouldn't currently work if you wanted to read your Bible / see these images on a mobile device such as an iPad as Personal Books are not currently supported on the mobile platform.
Okay, thanks guys. I'll play around with the two options. I sure would love to see the images in line with my regular bible reading.
I'm having fun playing around with my new skill in this regard, but I still lack knowledge.
I am noticing that my applied highlighting is only highlighting my selection, and not my reference. In other words, I only see my highlight in the currently selected bible, and in no other bible.
Can I design this such that when I highlight using redirection that my highlighting appear in all my Bibles?
Thank you for the help.

Not really - highlights are always "by selection". Notes, however, may be "by selection" or "by reference", and you may select which when you do a rightclick on your selected text. With L6 they may even be attached to multiple selections, references, topics etc.
I am understanding this - I think. My ultimate goal in all of this is to get the stated images into my Bible. I am attempting this by assigning the image to a Highlighter palette, and then assigning my highlight to the text - but, I want to assign it to the reference so that my image (and, my highlight) appear in all my bibles.
There is apparent connectivity between notes and highlighting - connectivity that confuses me. A highlight can contain a note and gets saved into a note file - the note file specified by the highlight pallet. How does this note assignment differ from just assigning a note which also gets saved into a "note file". Once a highlight is assigned to a text, I can right-click and open/remove annotation - this seems to me to be the same action I would take if I had just attached a note to my text/reference with no highlight. It's confusing me...
Is there a way that I can highlight text and make my highlight appear in all my bibles? If we have thought to add a note by reference, the concept of highlighting text is very similar in nature - you'd want to see what you highlighted across your bibles. Yes? But, is there a way?
Thank you again for your help.
If it helps: you are not alone... Logos made this confusing design desicion some years ago, they declared "Highlights are notes!", and that's the reason most functionality applies equally to both - with the exception of highlighting, which is restricted to "notes by selection" and not available to "notes by reference"
Currently not. One technical reason is that bibles and commentaries share the same milestones - highlighting Jn 3 in your bible is two dozen lines, in a commentary it may be hundreds of pages, all showing in the same highlight. Moreover, selections are not bound to verse boundaries, and even those are not the same accross various bibles - what you highlight in one may not even be there, or ordered totally different in other bibles. So, no, highlights don't work accross bibles - notes, however, do and can be assigned pictures.
I understand the technical issue - makes sense - thank you for helping me appreciate this limitation.
Maybe a better way to accomplish my goal is to assign a custom image to a note icon - is that possible? This way, I could add a note instead of a highlight and have my image show up in all my Bibles which is what I'm ultimately after.
