In the past the recommended method of doing inductive Bible study highlighting was to create a separate highlighting palette for every Bible book and tie each one to a separate notebook. Now it seems that the separate notebook for each palette is no longer recommended. (I noticed all my palettes have had their affiliations with notebooks removed by the conversion from L7 to L8 and now point to "No Notebook.")
Even though the notebooks may no longer serve a useful purpose, the palettes are a way to keep the list of highlighting styles manageable for a specific book or small set of books. But I'm wondering about what happens if I duplicate a highlighting style from one palette to another. For example, I want to keep all the highlighting of the word "prayer" consistent across all books of the Bible that I study inductively. So I do the following steps.
- In the first book I study that has "prayer" as a key word, I create a "prayer" style in a palette for that book.
- When I begin study of another book that has "prayer" as a key word, I duplicate the style and get a "prayer (2)" style in the first palette.
- I move "prayer (2)" from the first palette to the second palette.
- I rename "prayer (2)" back to "prayer" in the second palette.
Can I later use the Highlighting search tool to find all the references to "prayer" that I highlighted across both books by searching for one highlighting style called "prayer," or will there be two styles that I have to search for separately?
Incidentally, has anyone suggested adding a way to do steps 2-3-4 above in a single step? I do it so much, it would be a great time saver for my study habits.
