Can I highlight a commentary and have it display in my bible as a note?
I want to highlight my commentary and have it show in my bible on the verse. Currently I'm doing the copy > paste routine and would really like to cut that step. Is there a way?

Hi Tim
From your three sentences, I'm assuming you're highlighting Bible text in your commentary (typically a specific translation), and then want it to highlight in your Bible? (I admit that doesn't make sense from the 2nd sentence where you're copying/pasting (the text?).

Hi Tim
You can't replicate highlights across commentaries / Bibles.
But if you create a note "By Reference" against a passage in the commentary then the associated icon - with access to the note - will appear in the appropriate reference in your Bible.
Does this help at all?

If I want a commentary text to show up in my Bible I create a note for the verse in my Bible then copy and paste the commentary text into the note (this may be what you are already doing.) Then when reading my Bible I can see the commentary quote by hovering over the note icon. It takes a little time, but not too much because I already have my commentary, Bible and note file already open.

Ronald,
If I understand you correctly (you want to attach certain portions of a commentary as a Note to a reference so that you can see it as a pop-up when you are reading the text, like other Notes), then the way you are doing it is the only way. As far as I know, there is no other way to link a portion of a book as a pop-up type window except by copying it into a Note. Have looked into it myself.
