Is there any way to transfer all the Scripture References from my NOTEBOOK list to a Passage List? Other than hand-bombing each one over one at a time?
Have you tried "add from clipboard" or "add from selected text?"
DaDa JT. Thanks I made that work. Thanks. I had never see the clipboard option thinking it was a MS Type of option. But it is a Logos option. Thanks again

Can you export them all to Word and then copy the text into passage list, it will extract bible references.
Doing it that way should also give you the references in the anchors for the notes
You can select multiple notes at once for the export to Word
Can you explain how this is done? Do I open Notebook, see a note that is actually a highlight and then what?
copy from clipboard: select text, press copy, click "add from clipboard."
Selected text: click and drag over text, click "add from selected text."
Thanks all. I guess I misunderstood the question. I was thinking there was a way to take highlighted passages out of the notebook and put them in a separate notebook. I wish my notes were not intermingled with the highlights. I hope that makes sense.
I agree. That's my next project. I highlighted without a system. I need to do something to filter highlights into coincide with either a Passage List or a Notebook Theme. Or something. What a salad bowl.

Good description.
I was thinking of it as the kitchen drawer where all the keys to unknown locks reside, along with a bunch of (used or unused?) batteries, some pens that may or may not work, a few basic tools, and all the bread wrapper twisty-ties from the last 23 years. [:O]

+ old elastics to keep stuff all together, but hurt you when they break.
How do you create a system? When you highlight, you highlight. It all goes to the notebook
There are ways, some better than others.
You could, for example, create specific highlighting pallets with all highlights going into specific notebooks. I don't think that is the best option, because the highlighters would become unwieldy.
On the other hand, you can tell the highlighting pallet to go into the "active" notebook. This would require diligence on the part of the user to make sure the right notebook was always "active."
There used to be a setting for "resource specific" note document.
That sounds like a good solution for someone who has 9 specific notebooks and wants to only use one highlighting style (i.e. Yellow). Or, of course, you could have 5 go to one notebook and 4 to another. If that system works for you, it sounds like an ingenious system! [:)]

It's working for me so far. Of course, everyone has their own style. Every highlighter I use for this system of organization is unique. The notebooks are organized not by resource type, but by idea type, e.g. needs further study, important insight. The active notebook strategy would be used for all other highlighting needs, e.g. organization by resource or by subject (baptism, soteriology, etc.)
I wish Logos would drop the name "Notebooks". And change it to "THEMES".
I hear Logos staff confuse the words NOTEBOOKS with NOTES often themselves.
The Logic of putting "Notes" in a "Theme" notebook is very clear and logical. [:(]

Unfortunately, that is the antithesis of my use of notebooks. Your system may be clear and logical but my system is a chaotic history of my interest in various interpretative issues more than organized themes.
Notes going into notebooks is illogical?
Naming a notebook by a theme makes sense if that is what you desire, but it’s still a notebook.
MJ - I commend you for the aid you have given to me and a ton of others. I just knew you would have to throw in a kick like you and I have tangled on this before. Sad.
The comments to the top should tell you that other NOT SO TALLENTED have created their own salad bowl like I have. Othe posts on this issue have confirmed many 'not so skilled, or green horn" Logos users stumble here.
Your old enough to remember "DOS FOR DUMMIES", and many more by that same prefix. A very successful concept. That's why the software industry adopted the KISS system. Keep it Simple Stupid many eons ago. If they had not, we would not know who Bill Gates is today.
Another obvious evidence it the amount of effort Logos and MP Seminars MUST put in to getting us DUMBIES into the beginner level in Logos. I started using Logos when it was Libronix (spelling) and Logos is no easier today than it was at the begging.
I've been blessed to be involved in getting over 35 programs into customers hands, so you know I was committed.
So I suggest you help Logos make the program under the KISS system, instead of fighting us. Thanks
JT I understand, I just hear Video trainers slip the tongue in presentations quit frequently. That is confusing for learners early in their usage.
Note, notebook...did not know there was a difference. I just dont understand why highlights of the Bible need to be mixed in with my notes. I only have one notebook...well, I think I only have one notebook. I dont wish to create several notebooks. Just want a notebook to add notes. But I don't want highlights in my notebook. I wish Logos would by default put highlights in a separate place, call it a notebook or something else. When it comes to notebooks, I prefer simple. I wish for them all to be arranged so I could print my notes only on passages of the Scripture....and be able to do that via date or books of the Bible, or other resources....without having to create new notebooks. I wish to export all notes to a pdf without including highlights, arranged either by date or by books of the Bible or by categories that are chosen by me...without having to create several notebooks. Highlights mixed in would only be fine if I could choose to print them in a particular section of my notebook. It just seems to me tha tthe system created is more complicated than it really needed to be
I generally do ...and there may well be a better term than "notebook" The metaphor may have outlived its usefulness. But I am unconvinced that "theme" is the best replacement because of the response to the use of "theme" in datatypes e.g. preaching theme.
But remember that I often represent the overly literal part of society e.g. the one who couldn't understand his teacher's reference to circle time until she made heavy paper circles for the students to sit on. My sister was an educational software proof-reader specifically because of the ability to be very literal.

Welll... for me (being of the person of one only) "Notes" going into "Themes" just don't work for me. "Notes" going into "Notebook" seems logical to me. My problem is that "Highlights" just doesn't seem logically to fit with "Notebooks"... me and the genius that thought that up are on different plateaus.
Maybe "Highlights" and "Themes" go together? ummmm???
For some. There are MANY users who would find this beneficial, but it would pigeonhole others.

It's basic data design to ensure stability and efficiency. The question is not whether or not they are "combined" but whether or not their combined status should be exposed to the users. On the first I have a very strong opinion on the logical design, less strong on the physical implementation; on the second, I could argue it either way and don't have sufficient knowledge of the user base to have an informed opinion.
