  Creating the new Palette

2. Click on New palette in the toolbar and give the palette a name e.g. My Palette.

5. Click on Borders and lines. Since we want to make a green underline style.
   • Click on the arrow next to the color box, in the pop-up color selector (not shown) click on Green for the color.
   • Now we need to identify where the line will be placed for this style. Hold the mouse over the bottom of the TEXT until you see the pop-up information cue for Underline, then click once with your mouse.
     
     
     
   • Let’s also make our underline more bold. Click on the arrow next to the line width.
   • In the pop-up width selector click on a thicker width as shown.
     
     
     
6. Now we are done creating our new Style, so click on Save at the top of the Style editor.

   Now let’s create another Style in our palette
   
   
8. Right click on your palette, or click the down-arrow and select “Add a new style”
   
   
   
9. Click on the title box and type: Blue Shadow and press the Enter key.
   • Click next to Text Effects to use these effects for our style.
   • Click on Shadow to have our style use shadow.
   • Click on the arrow next to the color box, in the pop-up color selector (not shown) click on blue.
   • Now we are done, click on Save to close the style editor.
10. Now we see both of our new styles in our new palette.
11. Open a Bible next to your Highlighting tool.
    
    
    
12. Use your mouse to click and drag to select some text in your Bible.
    • Now click on Blue Shadow in the Highlighting tool. This will cause Logos to apply the Blue Shadow highlighting to our selected text in our Bible.
    • Now in the Bible, click somewhere off the selected text. Notice that the text you had selected is now highlighted with your new Blue Shadow.

Adding keyboard shortcuts for highlight styles

  This example will show you how to add highlighting styles to keyboard shortcuts. Having keyboard shortcuts for highlighting styles can make it much easier to add highlighting to your books. If you have several shortcuts that you remember it will prevent you from having to open the Highlighting tool and save you space on your layout. In this example we will add keyboard shortcuts to various Underlining styles.

1. Open the Highlighting tool. (Click on Tools in the top menubar, then click on Highlighting)
2. In the Highlighting tool, click on Emphasis Markup to expand it.
3. Right click on Green Underline. Logos will show you a pop-up menu.
4. In the pop-up menu to the right of Shortcut key click on the triangle. Logos will show you another pop-up menu. Click on A to have Logos assign the keyboard letter A to the Green Underline style.
   
   
   1. You may want to add other Underline styles. In this example we have added 4 other shortcuts to Underline styles
      (to do this just repeat steps 3 & 4 using the letters below and the styles below)
      • B = Blue underline
      • C = Red underline
      • D = double underline
      • E = wavy underline
        
        
5. Now open a book (e.g. ESV Bible). Use your mouse to select text that you want to highlight (click at the beginning of text and keep the button down and drag over the text you want selected, then release the mouse button)
   1. Now on your keyboard press the letter A to apply Green Underlining to your selected text.
6. In the above image you will see where using step 5 was applied to text to apply Green Underlining.
   1. Here we applied Blue underlining using the B key.
   2. Here we applied Red underlining using the C key.
   3. Here we applied Double underlining using the D key.
   4. Here we applied Wavy underlining using the E key.

Now you see how to add keyboard shortcuts to Highlighting styles. You can create shortcuts for any of your highlighting styles. You may want to group different kind of style to specific groups of letters (e.g. Underlines to A-E, Highlighter Pens to G-K, and so forth).
