Annotation/Highlight Navigation choice

• See Highlighting for information on how to use Highlighting.
• If you have Highlighted text in your resource, then the navigation item (Annotation) will appear in the navigation list.
  
  
  
  
• When the Annotation navigation choice is selected, you can use the navigation arrows to move forward/backward to Highlighted text in your resource.

• Example:
  • In this example we have highlighted the phrase the kingdom of heaven in 3 locations of the NIV84 using the highlighting tool.
    The image below show those highlighted phrases. They use the double underline highlighting.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
  • Make sure that your Highlighting is turned On in the Visual Filters as shown below.
    
    a) Because highlighting is stored with Notes you will need to know the name of your Note file. In this example we used double underlining which is found in Emphasis Markup note file.
    
    
    
    b) Click on Visual Filter icon.
    c) Click to check the Emphasis Markup box in the drop down list under Notes.
    
    
    
    
  • Now we will select Annotation in the navigation list as shown below.
    
    a) Click on the navigation choice.
    b) Click on Annotation item in the drop down list.
    
    
    
    
  • We start with the NIV84 at the first highlighted text.
    
    
    
    
  • Now when the Down navigation arrow was pressed, the position was changed to the image shown below.
    
    
    
    
  • Again when the Down navigation arrow was pressed, the position was changed to the image shown below.
    
    
    
    
  • In like manner you could use the Up navigation arrow to move the position to the previous highlighted text.
    
    
• This feature might come in handy when trying to locate highlighted text which you want to erase the highlighting for.
  
  

Visual Filter Navigation choice

• If you have Visual Filters setup and turned On in your resource, then a new navigation item (Filter Highlight) will appear in the navigation list.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Example:
  • In this example we have created a Visual Filter named WrittenFilter which sets the word written in Luke’s Gospel in the NKJV to use outline formatting.
    
    
    
    
  • Now we will make sure that the Visual Filter for WrittenFilter is turned On as shown below.
    
    a) Click on the Visual Filter icon.
    b) Click to check the WrittenFilter box in the drop down menu.

    b) Click on Filter Highlight in the navigation drop down list.
    
    
    
    
  • Now we start with Luke’s Gospel in the NKJV. (notice that the navigation option is Filter Highlight)
    
    
    
    
  • Now we use the navigation Down arrow to position to the word written in the NKJV.
    
    a) By clicking 3 times on the Down navigation arrow.
    b) This is positioned on the 3rd occurrence of written (which is the first occurrence of Jesus speaking this in Luke).
