Please could anyone tell me how I can do Inductive Highlighting as I "Read thru the Bible in a Year"?
Shirley.
Not sure what you are asking....but I'll answer.
Just open your bible.
Then go to the tool bar and choose Tools>Highlighting
choose the inductive set of highlighters in the pane on your left.
Then when you want to mark a word, just highlight the word by left-click-dragging over it and then choose what highlight style you want....
If you need something else just let us know.
OK thanks very much, I got that.
I was doing a study on the words "Believe" and "Faith" and wondered if it were possible to highlight all of those two words at one time.
Also in my own Bible I use different inductive markings for particular words and I would like to do the same on the online version (realizing that I may have to make different symbol choices). Is it possible to do it all in one go, or do I have to mark each individual word as I come to it.
I hope this makes sense, I feel that I'm not explaining myself very well.

Highlighting them all at once is a function of visual filters. Let me know what help you need beyond my ugly Green circles.
The great thing is you can use underlying original text lemma in the Reversed Interlinear English Bibles as your selected word.
I usually do it by right clicking to open the context menu over the given word like "The Word" (λόγος) and perform "Search this resource" command. Than I copy the syntax (in case of my example it will look like this: <Lemma = lbs/el/λόγος> ) and paste it into the Visual Filter. It marks all the words based on the original text word, no matter how the word is translated in English.
I like that possibility very much.
Thankyou so much to Philip and Bohuslav for your help. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. There is so much to learn about Logos but I couldn't find a video tutorial or much info that actually addressed my problem, so again I thank you.
I hope you have a truly blessed New Year.

Hi Shirley
There is so much to learn about Logos but I couldn't find a video tutorial or much info that actually addressed my problem, so again I thank you.
I know the answers you have been given have given you what you need but thought you might also find the article at http://wiki.logos.com/Visual_Filter useful for the future.

Thank you so much Graham for the link.. I will read it through to see what else I can do with it.
I realize this link does address my problem but in the beginning all I knew was that I wanted to highlight some words and it was "highlighting" that I was looking for. I didn't even know what the "Visual Filter" was for so didn't think to even look for my answer there.
I did find some info on highlighting but of course they didn't tell me how to mark the word "Believe" or "Faith" all through the Bible. I wanted to be able to mark the whole of a Bible version with inductive markings for certain words.
Is it possible to limit that to just marking certain words within just one book of the Bible??
I appreciate your help.
Hi Shirley - glad it was useful.
Yes - you do this by restricting the range in the visual filter.
The example below is a filter I have set up to search for "covenant". I normally have it set to cover "All Passages". However, as you can see from the drop-down menu, you can choose to include sections of a book, single books or ranges of books.
Hope this gives you what you need.
Yes, make certain that you have a Bible Visual filter and not a Basic one.
Click on All Passages and then Enter the book of the Bible you want in the "New Reference Range"
Shirley,
click on the link below...it will launch Logos, then it will create the visual filter you are trying to get.
logos4:VisualFilter;title=Believe_and_faith_in_John
And once you run the filter....then you can cycle though them by using the up down arrows shown....
Ok, you all were so helpful, thank you so much.
I have now managed to Highlight all my key words both in the entire Bible and others just in one book.
Now, I am about to start a new Precept group and we are going to be studying Obadiah and then Joel. After doing all the marking I thought it would be easy to just copy the text and print it instead of having to do it all over again manually in my Precept study book but I can't figure out how to print it and keep the highlighting. Is it possible? I have copied and pasted to Word but you lose the highlighting.
Thanks again for your help.
You can directly print the Bible text and have the highlighting retained. Since Logos supports many more highlighting styles than Word it can't send them through a copy and past.
If you want to save a copy of your highlights digitally you can export to an xps document or use a PDF printer like CutePDF or PrimoPDF
Thankyou Kevin for your response, I did look through the FAQ before asking any of my questions, the trouble is sometimes I don't know what to look for, i.e. I didn't know highlighting words throughout the whole Bible would come under "Filtering". I guess I'm just not familiar with some of the technical terms.
This brings me to your answer, I downloaded the "CutePDF" but I just can't figure out how to get my highlighted book of Obadiah into it complete with highlighting. It gives the option to "Create from File" but I just can't figure out how to save the highlighting.
First make certain you can see you highlighting, use the Visual Filter Menu to select Visual Filter Documents or Highlighting Palettes so only what you want to see is viewed.
Open the Print/Export Dialogue
Choose the passage range, select CutePDF from the printer list or Export as an .xps
Click print and your pdf printer should output a file.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. You have been so helpful and I now have it. It will save me so much time now I can do this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help.
Many blessings to all concerned.
