Precept Upon Precept Philippians Study
8 years ago

It sure would help if Highlighting had more ways to highlight based on symbols rather than colors for those of us who are colorblind. A fairly common problem for males. There may be ways to do this that I don't know about, but boxes with 3 lines, boxes without the top, boxes without the bottom. thin wavy lines, thick wavy lines. bold type with an underline, are some that come to mind. Also more highlighting using a symbol for "grace," "hope," "faith," "salvation," etc. Icons or simple drawings work FAR better for me than colors. I can distinguish between blue, orange, and yellow by shades more than by colors, but brown & purple are indistinguishable. I would be happy to talk to a Logos tech about this. Thanks

    Screen shot shows "Inductive - Precept" palette with 65 symbols => https://community.logos.com/forums/p/121104/878685.aspx#878685 that can be freely copied after following or joining Faithlife Group "Logos Visual Filters" (did not publish to this group to avoid confusion since Philippians study can be done without this palette). Earlier in forum thread has duplication of "Inductive/Precept" highlighting palette so can customize style(s) as desired. Logos includes 126 images for highlighting customization plus can choose an icon image file.

    Randall - I have made my own pallette, of my symbols, similar to what you are describing. You can create a new palette and name it Randall Inductive Markups (or whatever). Then you can duplicate any of the other styles in other palettes or create your own. Then when you are marking up your bible, you will have all your own styles. Including all the lines, double lines, formats, etc.

    You can also add in any pictures (images) that you have files for around and over the words.  You can get as creative as you want by using all of the available editable settings.  I have the most fun making ones for different people who are found throughout the scriptures.  For me personally symbols are more recognizable than straight highlighting.  I have to admit that I am a highlighting geek.  The nice thing with logos is that you can turn them on an off at will..If I want something different for a word at a later time, all I have to do is edit the word and it changes through out my bible(s).
