Is there a way to highlight text in Logos4 without having to add a note citation?
Tools>Highlighting; select text>choose highlighting style. Repeat highlighting style for next selection by pressing CTLR-K
To remove highlighting: with the highlighting tab open, select the text from which you want to remove highlighting, choose "Erase" from the top left of the tab (under the "X" which closes the tab).
When I open tools, I do not have see highlighting, I see Library, Bible Facts, Settings, Passage and lookup headings with sub-headings below them.
Am I doing something wrong?

Under the LIbrary heading I have: Collections | Favorites | Highlighting | History | Reading List
What do you see under the Library heading?
If you don't see Highlighting there, report what base collection you have.
Hi Richard -
I read in another post about being in the serach view and that is where I was. I closed out and opened up from the library and wa-la - the highlighting was there.
I believe I have the Scholar's edition as Silver is the next upgrade option.
Thanks for your help.

If you do a search, your search results will be highlighted as long as the search is active. Maybe that's what you saw. Sometimes terminology overlaps and confuses.
Glad to help.
I use the highlighter all the time, and you can take and drag a shortcut from the Tools-highlighter menu to the top toolbar and drop it. Then just click on it anytime to bring up the highlighter panel.
Video on drag and drop shortcuts is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxrbQLNKRX8
As a matter of fact, the video I mentioned above was from http://www.logos.com/videos and it has many many others.
I have looked at most of them and learned about some features that I didn't know existed. Well worth the time to watch them.
Just as a matter of interest, how do you use highlighting?
Edward,
I use highlighting a lot.
Mainly I use it to "make more visual sense of a long passage; I highlight "like terms" in the same color...
for example: I highlight things like conjunctions in brown, (they seem to signal conclusions, or juxtopositions, so I like to highlight them) places are highlighted in green, and so on...that way when you look at a long passage...and you step through it....it's easier to get a handle on what's being said...at least for me it is.
I use highlighting for reading books and making notes. I also use in during Bible study. Precepts training and Precepts trainer.
thanks for the light on using highlighting!
And conversely, I notice that when I add a note to my preferred Bible, it highlights the selection. If I want the highlighting in another color, or no highlighting at all, just the note, how do I accomplish that?
Thanks!

Currently you can only have a note on highlighted text. In if they were to expand the highlighter applied to notes to clear/white it would be ideal.
Interesting. In both Mark's video on sermon prep and the "official" notes videos, adding notes does not add highlighting...
Meh. It's not that big a deal to me.

If you right-click on the verse without selecting text, you can add the note to the verse without highlighting.
I tried that, but the reference that got put into the note was not consistent. Sometimes it would take the verse I right-clicked, but sometimes it would take the pericope, and sometimes another verse close by.
What am I doing wrong?

I've had that problem too. I think it's a bug. I just retry until it's correct.

To follow up...if I right click on whitespace , sometimes the verse reference is the first verse in the chapter instead of the nearest verse. Make sure that you don't have a word selected off-screen (i.e, the selection is scrolled off the window), because you can right click somewhere else and it will use the selection as the verse reference.

Sure enough. If I am more accurate about where I right-click, the thing works.
Further, I discovered that changing the color of the note marker also changes the color of the highlighting, which currently serves my purposes perfectly.
Great! Thanks so much.
